Refund Policy
Summit Editing — Operated by Northern Spruce Media Inc. — summitediting.co
Effective Date: July 20, 2026
Last Updated: July 20, 2026
Overview
Summit Editing is a creative services platform where customers purchase credits and spend them on video edit orders. Because edit work begins promptly after submission and involves real editorial labor, our general policy is that purchased credits are non-refundable. We stand behind the quality of our work through included revision rounds, which are the primary mechanism for addressing dissatisfaction.
This policy explains what is and is not refundable, what happens when you cancel an order, and how to reach us if something goes wrong.
1. Credits Are Non-Refundable
Once credits are purchased, they are generally non-refundable as monetary payments. This applies whether or not you have used those credits to submit orders.
There is no window after purchase during which a monetary refund is available, used or unused, except where required by applicable law.
If you believe a credit purchase was made in error or resulted from unauthorized account access, contact us promptly at info@summitediting.co. We will review the circumstances and respond at our discretion.
2. Quality Is Addressed Through Revisions, Not Refunds
If you are unsatisfied with a delivered edit, the appropriate remedy is to use your included revision rounds:
- Standard package — 1 revision round included
- Premium package — 2 revision rounds included (30/60 sec) or 3 (120 sec)
Additional rounds beyond your package's included revisions are available for 30 credits each, charged automatically when you submit the request — this is not a monetary refund situation, just a continuation of the same credit-based service.
If you feel the delivered edit does not reasonably reflect your submitted instructions after the revision process is exhausted, contact us at info@summitediting.co. We will review the order and work to reach a fair resolution, which may include an additional complimentary revision at our discretion. Monetary refunds for completed and delivered orders are generally not available.
3. Order Cancellation and Credit Returns
You may cancel an order before it is completed. Summit Editing maintains a cancellation flow within the platform ("cancel order") that governs how credits are handled.
- Before work begins (awaiting footage or queue)If you cancel before an editor has begun work on your order, your credits will be returned to your account balance.
- Order in progressOnce an editor has begun work on your order, cancellation is no longer available and credits are not returned to your account balance. If you are unsatisfied with the result, the remedy is your included revision rounds as described in Section 2.
- Delivered ordersOnce an order has been delivered, cancellation is not available. Use your revision rounds as described in Section 2.
Credits returned to your account balance through cancellation are account credits, not monetary refunds.
4. Rush Add-On
The Rush add-on fee is non-refundable once an order has been submitted with Rush status, as it is applied to prioritize your order in the editing queue immediately.
5. Unused Credits
Unused credits do not expire and remain available for future orders for as long as your account remains active. See also Terms of Service Section 4.2. No monetary refund is provided for unused credits.
6. Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your card issuer or Stripe rather than first contacting Summit Editing, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account pending investigation. We encourage you to contact us at info@summitediting.co before initiating any payment dispute — we will work with you directly to resolve legitimate concerns.
7. Exceptions at Our Discretion
Nothing in this policy prevents Summit Editing from issuing a refund or credit return at its sole discretion in circumstances it deems appropriate. Issuing a refund in one instance does not obligate Summit Editing to issue a refund in any other instance.
8. How to Request Help
If you have a concern about an order, a charge, or your credits, contact us at info@summitediting.co. Please include your account email address, order ID (if applicable), and a description of the issue. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at summitediting.co with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
