All charges and payments for Stars will be made in the currency specified at the time of purchase. Currency exchange settlements, foreign transaction fees and payment channel fees, if any, are based on your agreement with the applicable payment provider.

If you choose to support a project using your Star(s), the associated value of the Star(s) will be deducted from your Artistes & Lyrics account. This deduction is final, and you will not be entitled to reverse or cancel your support, or claim any refund or credit, for example, if you choose to delete any post featuring your Star on any third-party platform.

If any Stars are subject to sales tax in your jurisdiction and you have not paid the applicable sales tax to us when you purchase your Stars, then you will be responsible for the payment of the applicable sales tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority.
