Subscription, Cancellation, and Refund Terms

Subscriptions and Billing

Subscription overview

Kibin's Essay Examples Library subscription grants monthly or yearly access to thousands of essay examples on a wide range of topics. A Kibin Essay Examples Library subscription also includes Kibin Editing Credits that can be used for Kibin's essay editing service.

Once your payment is received, your Kibin account can access all content in Kibin's Essay Examples Library. Your Kibin Editing Credit balance renews each time a subscription payment is made. Kibin Credit balances do not roll over and must be used within the subscription period. Kibin Editing Credits will expire on the same date as the subscription. You may cancel your monthly or annual subscription anytime before the next billing cycle, subject to the terms of Kibin's cancellation policy.

Billing terms

Each Kibin subscription requires an upfront and immediate charge via the payment method selected at the time of purchase. You must be authorized to use the payment method you provide. By entering your payment information, you authorize an initial and recurring charge for the subscription using the payment method provided.

When purchasing a monthly or annual subscription, you agree to the following payment terms:

  • You agree to pay an initial and recurring monthly subscription fee in U.S. dollars until the subscription is cancelled or paused.
  • Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle via the payment method on file until the subscription is cancelled, and you accept responsibility for all recurring subscription charges.
    • Purchasing a monthly subscription authorizes Kibin to automatically withdraw your monthly subscription fee each month until the subscription is terminated.
    • Annual subscriptions will renew one year after the initial subscription date. Annual subscribers will be notified of their subscription renewal via email 30 days before the annual subscription fee is charged to the payment method on file. The renewal notice will be sent to the email address on file.
  • You can manage your subscription status and view your subscription's end date or renewal date on your subscription settings page.
    • Navigation menu → Manage subscription or Navigation menu → Settings → Subscription tab

Cancellation Policy

  • You may cancel your monthly or annual subscription at any time during your subscription period. You are responsible for cancelling your Kibin subscription prior to your subscription renewal date if it is no longer of use to you.
  • Cancelling a Kibin subscription cancels future payments for your subscription. Please note that cancelling an Essay Examples Library subscription does not initiate a refund.
    • You will retain your access to the content in Kibin's Essay Examples Library and your Kibin Credit balance for the remainder of the subscription period. When the subscription period expires, you can no longer access full essay examples and any remaining Kibin Credits are removed.
  • To cancel your Kibin subscription, visit your settings page. Click on "Settings" via the dropdown menu in the upper-right corner, click the "Subscription" tab, and click "Cancel Subscription." You must confirm your cancellation after clicking "Cancel Subscription."
  • You may pause your Kibin subscription for 1, 2, 3, or 4 months. You will not be able to access Essay Examples Library content or your Kibin Editing Credit while your subscription is paused.
    • When a subscription is paused, payment of monthly subscription fees is temporarily suspended for the number of months you select. Your account will automatically unpause once the time period selected has elapsed.
    • Your payment method may be charged a prorated rate depending on where you paused during your billing cycle when the pause occurred. You are responsible for cancelling your Kibin subscription prior to the resume date if the subscription is no longer needed.
  • You may also contact team@kibin.com or help@kibin.com and request a subscription cancellation. All email cancellation requests will be processed within 24 hours. If you no longer wish to continue your subscription, you must contact Kibin about a cancellation before your renewal date to avoid renewing for another month.

Subscription Refund Policy

  • Once site content is viewed or downloaded using a Kibin subscription, the initial subscription fee and all recurring subscription charges are non-refundable and subject to the billing terms.
  • Subscriptions that are not cancelled prior to the renewal date are ineligible for refunds upon cancellation.
  • If you stop using your Kibin subscription benefits, unused subscription time is not eligible for a refund.
  • Subscription fees for accounts found to be abusing Kibin's services are non-refundable. Kibin reserves the right to determine the types of activity that constitute abuse of the Site, subscription benefits, and/or published content.

Editing Refund Policy

  • Refunds will not be given for any plagiarized work submitted to Kibin's editing service.
