Questions
You pay securely on donlu.africa with PayToday, in Namibian dollars. Your card is never stored and nothing is charged again automatically. Once-off Cinema plans are charged a single time.
We email and notify you seven days before, three days before, and on the day. Renewing takes one tap and adds the new period onto whatever is left, so you never lose days by renewing early. If you do nothing, your account simply returns to the free tier on that date.
Tap Go Pro in the app and it opens this page, already signed in. Your plan unlocks in the app as soon as payment goes through.
Yes. Upgrade at any time from this page. There is nothing to cancel, because nothing renews on its own. To stop, just do not renew. You keep access until the date you paid for, which you can see under Manage plan.
DAMP is how DONLU pays artists and DJs for streams. Every verified artist can join for free. Artist Free earns N$0.0012 per counted stream with a N$1,000 withdrawal minimum. Artist Pro and DJ Pro earn N$0.0027 with a N$500 minimum. An artist's own plays never count.
Your tracks stay live and your earnings stay yours. If you have more than 10 tracks, you can add new ones again once you are back under the free limit.
The annual Cinema Pass includes Listener Pro. The monthly pass covers DONLU Cinema.
You can ask for a refund within 7 days of your first payment if you have not used any Pro features. Renewals are not refundable. Contact us through the Help page.
