How withdrawal works
As an EU consumer you can withdraw from an eligible commitment within 14 days, without giving a reason — and no charge is submitted before that period has passed.
These docs explain the product in plain language. The Creator Terms, Payment Terms, and other legal documents control if there is a conflict.
What the withdrawal right is
The withdrawal period is a statutory EU consumer right, not a Commitery policy. It gives you 14 days to step back from the commitment contract you concluded at checkout.
- It is separate from a dispute: a dispute argues the proof was fine, withdrawal cancels the commitment outright.
- You do not need to give a reason.
When the 14 days run
The period starts at checkout, when the commitment contract is concluded, and runs for 14 calendar days.
- Because no charge may be submitted before it ends, a short commitment can fail review and still wait for the period to pass before any charge.
- Each routine cycle is handled separately, so every cycle has its own 14-day window. See Creating a routine.
How to withdraw
- Use the direct withdrawal link in your confirmation email.
- Or contact Commitery support by email, or follow the formal legal withdrawal instructions.
- Any clear declaration within the 14 days is enough — no specific form of words is required.
Effect of withdrawal
A valid withdrawal cancels the commitment and unwinds everything tied to it.
- The commitment or routine cycle is cancelled and no proof is required.
- No commitment amount is due, even if a failed verdict had already been proposed.
- Any related Creator allocation is cancelled along with it.
Short commitments
A commitment deadline can be earlier than the end of the 14-day withdrawal period. Commitery handles that by allowing the review to happen, but delaying any failed-outcome charge until the withdrawal period no longer blocks it.
- Example: a commitment created today has a goal deadline in 7 days. If it fails on day 8, the failed verdict can be shown, but the charge waits until the withdrawal period has passed.
- If the user withdraws in time, the commitment is cancelled even if a failed verdict had already been proposed.
- This is separate from product disputes, which challenge the verdict rather than cancel the contract.
