**Refund policy**

Refunds are only processed to the original source of payment. Refunds are available for amounts above 30 USD (or equivalent). An administration fee of 20 USD (or equivalent), plus a payment processing fee of 5% of the total amount, will be deducted from the refund.

When you add a credit card, you can choose the currency you want to use for transactions. This means it doesn’t have to match the currency of your credit card account. For example, if your credit card currency is USD, you can still add this card to MetaCopier with EUR as the chosen currency, and the transaction on your card will be processed in EUR. However, the currency of the added credit card in MetaCopier must match the currency you used when creating the project in MetaCopier.
