Must I buy AI-tool credits through the programme to retain partnership benefits?

No. Optional tool or credit procurement is voluntary and paid by the creator. Not using it does not change basic cooperation rights or an agreed tier. It should not be tied to festival entry, INDEX or a market project. Confirm the product, quantity, expiry, price, limits and refund terms before purchase. No free credit allowance is promised.
