cancellable monthly subscription. Do not count the same cost twice.

5. WHAT THIS SAMPLE DOES NOT ESTABLISH
Other footage, longer inputs, different models, generation settings, revisions
or delivery formats may consume different amounts. A paid allowance is not a
promise of accepted outputs. Keep the dated quote and your observations.
