2.1. Photo Submission: You are responsible for uploading a clear, well-lit photo taken against a neutral background that meets the basic requirements for processing. The quality of the final photo is highly dependent on the quality of the original photo you provide. Our AI can make many corrections, but it cannot fix severely blurry, dark, or otherwise unsuitable images.

We strongly recommend you review our photo guidelines carefully before uploading your image to ensure the best possible result.
3.2. Our Guarantee: Acceptance by Authorities:
- We guarantee that photos generated by our service will meet the official biometric standards required for your application, provided you have followed our guidelines when taking and submitting your photo.
- If your passport or visa application is rejected by a government agency specifically due to the photo we provided, you are eligible for either a full refund of your purchase price or a new, corrected photo at no additional charge.

You may be eligible for a full refund under the following circumstances:
- Rejection by Authorities: As stated in our guarantee above, if the photo is officially rejected.

- Duplicate Orders: If you were accidentally charged twice for the same order due to a payment processing error.
3.4. When Refunds Are Not Issued:
A refund will not be provided in the following situations:
- Unsuitable Original Photo: If the final processed photo is non-compliant because the original image you uploaded did not meet our stated requirements (e.g., poor lighting, incorrect background, improper facial expression, non-centered angle, etc.).
- Change of Mind: We cannot issue refunds if you simply decide you no longer need the photo after the service has been rendered.
- User Error: Issues arising from user error, other than those explicitly covered in this policy.
