Billing Terms & Disclosure
Individual Story Purchases: Story purchases are one-time charges. You will be charged the listed price once and will never be billed again for that story. Access is permanent. There are no hidden fees or recurring charges attached to individual story purchases.
Recurring Subscriptions: Recurring subscription plans are not currently offered. The Confessional operates exclusively on a pay-per-story basis at this time. If subscription billing is introduced in the future, users will be given clear advance notice of all recurring charge terms before any subscription is activated.
Billing Disputes & Refunds: If you have a question about a charge or wish to request a refund, contact CCBill Consumer Support — our payment processor — or email billing@forvm.io. Because story purchases grant immediate access to digital content, refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
