5. Paid Services

VIP Membership Subscription

The Service offers VIP membership subscriptions, currently including the following plans:

• VIP Monthly Member (monthly auto-renewal): CNY 38/month, with a special first-month price of CNY 18 for new users
• VIP Annual Member (yearly auto-renewal): CNY 449/year

The specific benefits and latest prices of VIP membership are as displayed in the YaoWise app.

The above plans can be activated in one of two ways, auto-renewal or one-time purchase, subject to the payment method you select when placing your order and the on-screen instructions: with auto-renewal, the fee for the next period is automatically charged when each period expires; a one-time purchase is valid for that purchase only, is not charged automatically, and you need to purchase again yourself after it expires. The membership benefits are the same under both methods.

Auto-Renewal Service

VIP membership subscriptions include auto-renewal by default. For the specific rules that apply when you activate the auto-renewal service, including when and how you are charged, how to cancel and the refund policy, please refer to the Auto-Renewal Service Agreement.

You can turn off auto-renewal at any time in the app under "Settings" → "Membership Center" → "Subscription Management", or on the third-party payment platform. After you turn it off, the membership benefits you have already paid for are not affected and continue until your membership expiry date.

The Auto-Renewal Service Agreement applies only to memberships activated through auto-renewal. Memberships activated through a one-time purchase do not involve automatic charges and are governed by these Terms.

Accumulation of Membership Time

Regardless of how your membership was activated, when you purchase or change a plan, the remaining unused membership time you already have will be added to the new membership expiry date. For example, if you purchase an annual plan when 7 days of membership remain, your membership expiry date after the purchase will be the expiry date of the new annual period plus 7 days. Remaining time is counted in whole days, with any part of a day counted as one day; time that has already expired will not be restored.

If you obtain a refund of fees you have paid, or the relevant transaction is reversed, your membership and the membership time arising from it will become invalid accordingly.

Virtual Currency (Yao Coins)

• Yao Coins are the virtual currency within this app and may be used only to purchase in-app services (such as unlocking AI interpretation styles or redeeming additional readings).
• Yao Coins have no legal tender value, cannot be exchanged for RMB or any other legal tender, and cannot be withdrawn as cash.
• Yao Coins cannot be transferred to other users.
• 20 Yao Coins = 1 AI reading; all users can redeem Yao Coins for additional readings.
• After an account is deleted, any unused Yao Coins will become permanently invalid and cannot be recovered.

Refund Policy

VIP membership services and Yao Coins are online goods and virtual goods and take effect immediately once purchased and successfully paid for. Except where laws and regulations mandatorily provide otherwise, fees paid are non-refundable.

• After auto-renewal is cancelled, no further charges will be incurred for subsequent subscription periods that have not yet been charged.
• iOS users should submit refund requests through Apple's official channel: https://reportaproblem.apple.com; for purchases made through Google Play, please submit refund requests through Google Play. Whether Apple or Google grants a refund is decided independently by each of them under their respective refund policies.
• For purchases made with WeChat Pay or Alipay in mainland China (Android version), to request a refund, please contact us in the app via the menu button (☰) at the top right → "Settings" → "Help & Feedback", or by email at support@yaowise.com, and tell us the payment time, the amount or the order number. We usually respond within 7 business days, and no later than 15 business days. If a refund is approved, it will be returned to the account you paid from, and the time it takes to arrive depends on the processing by WeChat Pay or Alipay.
• For abnormal situations such as duplicate charges caused by system failures or problems with third-party payment channels, please contact customer service.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links for convenience only and are not responsible for the content, products or services on those websites or resources.
