ShinyDex.com offers a premium membership, ShinyDex Pro, which provides access to exclusive features and additional functionality on the Site.
- Subscription Cost: ShinyDex Pro starts from £2.99 per month.
- Billing: Payments will be automatically charged on a recurring monthly basis through your chosen payment method.
- Cancellation: You may cancel your ShinyDex Pro subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellations will apply to the next billing cycle and will not result in a refund for the current billing period.
- Revocation of Access: ShinyDex reserves the right to revoke access to ShinyDex Pro features at any time for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms and Conditions or misuse of ShinyDex services. In cases where access is revoked, ShinyDex is not obligated to refund any paid subscription fees.

Gifted subscriptions are transferred immediately upon purchase and cannot be revoked, exchanged, or reimbursed once redeemed. ShinyDex bears no responsibility for gifts sent to incorrect accounts.
05
Cosmetic Purchases
ShinyDex.com offers optional one-time purchases of digital cosmetic items ("Cosmetics"), sold individually or in bundles ("Packs") through the ShinyDex store. The following terms apply to every Cosmetic purchase, in addition to the general terms above.
- One-time purchase: Cosmetics are a single, one-off purchase and not a subscription. The price is shown before you confirm and is charged once, securely via Stripe.
- Immediate delivery & consent: Cosmetics are digital content delivered to your account immediately upon successful payment. By completing a purchase you expressly request immediate delivery and acknowledge that, as a result, you lose any right to cancel, return, or withdraw from the purchase.
- All sales are final: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all Cosmetic purchases are final and non-refundable. By purchasing, you agree that you are not entitled to, and irrevocably waive, any refund, cancellation, exchange, credit, or reimbursement under any local, national, or international consumer-protection or distance-selling laws, save only for any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
- Discretionary refunds: Any refund or reversal is granted solely at ShinyDex's absolute discretion and on a one-off basis. It creates no right to, or expectation of, any future refund.
- Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute for a validly completed purchase may result in suspension or termination of your account and forfeiture of all Cosmetics and other benefits.
- Licence, not ownership: A Cosmetic grants you a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to display the item on your ShinyDex profile. It is not a good, currency, or asset that you own and has no cash value. ShinyDex may modify, replace, or revoke Cosmetics - for example for breach of these Terms or misuse - without refund.
- Acceptance at checkout: You must confirm that you have read and accept these purchase terms before you can complete a Cosmetic purchase.
