🛡️ Our Human Guarantee Promise
If our AI-powered Otter cannot create the website you envision, our human engineers will step in to help build it for you, or we'll provide a full refund.
How the Human Guarantee Works
Our Human Guarantee is designed to ensure customer satisfaction while maintaining reasonable safeguards:
Guarantee Process
- Initial Attempt: You must first make a reasonable attempt to create your desired website using our AI-powered tools.
- Support Request: If you're unable to achieve your desired result, contact our support team within your first month of paid service.
- Additional Assistance: We reserve the right to provide you with additional chat credits (at no cost) to help you achieve your goals using our AI tools.
- Human Intervention: If additional chats don't resolve the issue, we will evaluate whether human intervention is appropriate based on the scope and complexity of your request.
- Resolution: We will either:
- Have our human engineers complete the necessary modifications to achieve your vision, or
- Issue a full refund if we determine the request is beyond the reasonable scope of the guarantee
Guarantee Limitations

- We reserve the right to determine if a request falls within the reasonable scope of the guarantee
