Refund & Cancellation Policy
On this page1. Who this Policy applies to
Effective date: 15 September 2026
1. Who this Policy applies to
This Policy applies to one-off Balance Package purchases made from CROWNSTONE PARTNERS LTD, company number 17452360, trading as Kiilln, through kiilln.com.
Our address is Dept 6956, 43 Owston Road, Carcroft, Doncaster, United Kingdom, DN6 8DA. Send refund requests to info@kiilln.com.
Read this Policy with our Terms & Conditions and Digital Delivery & Service Provision Policy. Nothing here limits mandatory rights to cancellation, a refund or another remedy under applicable consumer law.
2. One-off purchases and non-expiring Balance
Kiilln sells one-off packages of Balance for code generation and related eligible actions. There is no subscription, automatic renewal or automatic top-up to cancel. Buying another package requires a separate purchase.
Purchased Balance does not expire. The 14-day commercial refund period below is a cancellation window, not the life of the Balance. Keeping a balance beyond that period does not cause it to expire.
3. Full refund of a completely unused purchase within 14 days
You may cancel a completely unused Balance Package and receive a full refund by sending a clear cancellation request within 14 calendar days, starting on the day after the purchase contract is made. This benefit is available to both consumer and business customers.
It applies to each purchase separately. You can request it for an unused new package even if you previously used a different package.
A package is completely unused if none of its Balance has been validly consumed. Crediting your balance, signing in or viewing an existing project does not by itself make the purchase used. A deduction that we reverse because it was erroneous or related to a confirmed failed chargeable action will not count as valid use for this test.
We assess use through the allocation of deductions to purchases and relevant evidence. A remaining account balance alone does not prove that a particular package is unused, but we will not reject a request solely because our records cannot reliably identify which purchase was used.
Once you request cancellation, do not use the Balance concerned. We may temporarily reserve it to prevent accidental consumption while the request is reviewed. We will explain the effect of any subsequent use before changing the outcome of your request.
For an eligible cancellation, we refund the full amount paid for that package, including any mandatory charges collected with it, and remove the corresponding Balance. We do not charge an administration fee.
4. Partly used purchases and requests after 14 days
Our voluntary full-refund offer does not apply to a package that has been partly or fully used, or to a change-of-mind request made after the 14-day period. There is no general entitlement to exchange your Balance for cash.
However, these limits do not decide whether you have a statutory cancellation right, a remedy for defective or missing services, a billing-error claim, or a refund entitlement following service closure or a material adverse change. Those matters are considered separately under this Policy and the Terms.
Deciding not to publish an application, changing your requirements or preferring another generated version does not by itself establish a service failure. Equally, describing a feature as AI-assisted does not remove our obligations to deliver the service described with reasonable care and skill.
6. Missing Balance and confirmed technical failures
If payment completes but the purchased Balance is not delivered, contact us with the account email and purchase details. We will investigate and either complete delivery without undue delay or refund the undelivered purchase where delivery cannot be completed within a reasonable time or a refund is otherwise required.
If an action incorrectly deducts Balance, or a confirmed technical failure of Kiilln prevents the paid action from being supplied as described, we will correct the deduction or offer an appropriate remedy. Depending on the issue and your legal rights, this can include restored Balance, repeat performance without an additional charge, a price reduction or a monetary refund.
We will not force you to accept restored Balance instead of a monetary refund where the law entitles you to money back. A routine request for a different design or a refinement is not automatically a technical failure; the particular facts and the service promised matter.
Include the approximate time, affected project or action, error message and a brief description of what happened. Screenshots or non-sensitive logs can help but are not mandatory where the issue can be established another way. You do not need to prove the underlying technical cause before reporting a problem.
7. Statutory cancellation rights
If you are a consumer, including in the UK or EEA where relevant rules apply, an online purchase may carry a statutory cancellation period. For UK distance contracts for services or digital content, the ordinary period is 14 days beginning after the contract is made. Longer periods or other protections can apply if required information was not supplied or local law provides them.
You can exercise a cancellation right by sending an unambiguous statement before the applicable deadline. You do not need to use a special form or give a reason. Any extension of a statutory deadline required by law will be respected.
Services started during the cancellation period
If you expressly request that we start supplying a service before the cancellation period ends and the required information has been given, the law may allow a proportionate charge for the service actually supplied before cancellation. Partial use does not automatically eliminate the cancellation right for the remaining service.
For a UK service contract, loss of the right following full performance requires the relevant prior express request and acknowledgement. Merely adding Balance to your account is not treated by this Policy as full performance of all future generation services.
Digital content supplied during the cancellation period
Where an element of the purchase legally qualifies as digital content, different rules can apply. We rely on loss of a cancellation right only where the legally required prior express consent, acknowledgement and contractual confirmation have been obtained and supply has begun as required by law. Accepting the Terms or purchasing Balance alone is not a blanket waiver.
These rules concern cancellation without a service fault. They do not remove remedies for content or services that fail to meet mandatory standards. The correct treatment follows the actual contract and applicable law, rather than the label “Balance”.
8. Your rights when something is wrong
Consumers may have rights where a service is not provided with reasonable care and skill or as agreed, or where digital content does not meet applicable standards. Depending on the circumstances, remedies may include putting the service right, repair or replacement of digital content, a price reduction, a refund or compensation.
There is no requirement to report such an issue within our 14-day voluntary window. Legal time limits, evidential rules and any applicable sequence of remedies still apply. We will not treat the consumption of Balance as an automatic defence to a valid claim.
9. Service closure, restrictions and account deletion
The Terms explain refunds where we permanently discontinue the Services, materially impair the use of existing paid Balance, or end access for reasons not attributable to your breach or wrongdoing. In those cases, the unused paid amount is calculated from the corresponding purchase price and unused portion, accounting for discounts and refunds already made.
Voluntary account deletion does not automatically create a refund entitlement outside this Policy. Contact us before confirming closure so that the effect on your balance can be explained and any existing refund claim can be resolved. We do not treat temporary suspension as expiry of Balance.
We may need to comply with legal restrictions affecting a particular refund. If that prevents or delays payment, we will explain what we lawfully can and retain the records needed to resolve it.
10. How to request a refund
Email info@kiilln.com and provide:
- the email address used for your Kiilln account;
- the purchase date and transaction or order reference, if available;
- the amount and currency; and
- whether you are cancelling an unused purchase or reporting a payment or service issue, with a short explanation if relevant.
If you cannot access the account or locate the reference, contact us with the information you have. We will use reasonable verification methods. A timely, identifiable cancellation request remains timely even if reasonable verification is completed later.
We will explain the outcome and the amount to be returned. If a request is declined, you may ask us to review the decision and provide further evidence.
11. Refund method and timing
Refunds are normally returned to the original payment method in the original purchase currency. We will use a different method only where lawful and necessary or agreed with you, without imposing an additional refund fee. The amount appearing in a differently denominated card account may be affected by the issuer's exchange rate or fees, which we do not control.
For an eligible cancellation under our 14-day unused-purchase offer, we issue the refund without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving the cancellation notice. Statutory refunds are issued within the applicable legal deadline. For other approved refunds, we issue them without undue delay, normally within 14 days after agreeing the remedy, or sooner where law requires.
Your issuer may take additional time to display the returned funds. We can provide confirmation that the refund has been issued.
Refunded Balance is removed so that the same purchase cannot be both refunded and used. We account for refunds already made through us or a card dispute to avoid paying the same amount twice. This does not restrict your right to use a legitimate card-dispute or chargeback process.
12. Cancellation form
You may use the following form for consumer cancellation, but an equally clear email is sufficient. Complete only the details applicable to your request.
