Formal Refund Request

Account: rorudit52@gmail.com
Model: claude-sonnet-4-6

What Happened

I used Claude Code to build VEMO FuelIQ (vemofuel.com), a commercial maritime SaaS platform. Across multiple weeks of work, significant tokens were wasted due to repeated AI errors:

  1. Swiper.js broke homepage completely - Claude replaced working hero carousel with Swiper.js causing all slides to overlap. Required 7 extra fix deploys and multiple full re-reads of 1000+ line files.
  1. AOS.js made entire page invisible - Claude removed animation trigger JS while leaving opacity:0 CSS. Every page section became invisible. Required 3 more fix cycles.
  1. Same files read 15-20 times - index.html, CLAUDE.md and memory files were repeatedly read across sessions instead of being retained.
  1. Imprecise global changes - sed commands for domain and color changes were incomplete and repeated multiple times.
  1. 5 context compaction cycles - Each required expensive re-loading of already-processed context.

Estimated Cost

Total project: 50-80 USD. AI errors caused 40-50% waste = 0-40 lost. Claude Code itself confirmed these mistakes when asked directly.

This user is an independent founder using personal savings, not a corporate budget.

Request

  • Review token usage on rorudit52@gmail.com
  • Refund for tokens wasted on AI errors
  • Compensation for 8-12 hours of user time lost
