Where the layers disagree ⚡
2 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTEDUSER vs VIDEO: Users broadly claim credits 'never expire', but VIDEO comments indicate annual plan credits actually require a phone call 2 days prior to renewal to be rolled over, suggesting they do expire if unmanaged.
USER vs BRAND: No brand data was provided to verify official claims regarding DRM-free policies or exact local bookstore payouts.
