growchill operates on a subscription plus utility model. You pay a fixed monthly platform fee for software access, plus pass-through usage fees for the exact volume of data your business consumes. This includes telecommunications (SMS, MMS, call minutes, emails) and AI token processing. Because these digital resources are processed instantly by network providers, all usage fees are strictly non-refundable.

To keep your automated communication workflows and AI features running without interruption, your account maintains a digital utility wallet. If your wallet balance drops below $2.00, the system automatically recharges your payment method on file in a minimum increment of $10.00. All wallet recharges are final and non-refundable.
