FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do payments work?

All payments are processed in USDC on the Base network. Funds are held in smart contract escrow until the buyer confirms delivery, then automatically released to the journalist's wallet.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees. The commission rate shown is all-inclusive. Blockchain gas fees for payouts are typically less than $0.01 on Base.

Can I cancel my Pro subscription?

Yes, you can cancel anytime. You'll retain access until the end of your billing period, and any purchased licenses remain valid.

What payment methods do you accept?

Media organizations can pay with credit card, wire transfer, or USDC. Journalists receive payouts exclusively in USDC to their connected wallet.

Do you offer refunds?

Licenses are non-refundable once footage is downloaded. However, if footage is later found to be inauthentic, we'll process a full refund.
