Other Information

By accessing or using the Service or App, the user acknowledges and agrees to the TOS and the Privacy Policy put in place.  The user also represents and warrants that the use the App complies with any and all applicable laws and regulations.  The terms stated here in the TOS, as well as any other terms in the Service and Privacy Policy, contain the entire understanding and agreement regarding the provisions in each aforementioned document between you and us.  If we fail to exercise a right under the terms in the TOS, such failure does not constitute any notion of a waiver of any kind of that right, now or in the future.  Should any specification in the TOS be held invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remainder of the TOS remains in full force and effect.  We may assign or delegate the TOS and/or our Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any right or obligation under the TOS before written consent from us. Unauthorized assignment and/or delegation by you of any kind is rendered invalid.


By subscribing to the monthly plan or purchasing the yearly plan of the App, the user acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

  1. the purchase and ongoing payment of subscription fees (including any applicable taxes) associated with the user's account at the plan rates that are in effect when the charges are incurred;

  2. the automatic billing set to the first day of the user's subscription and any renewal period, as well as the automatic charging of subscription fees to the payment card entered in by the user;

  3. subscription term being renewed monthly or yearly depending on the subscription plan until canceled by the user or by the App according to the TOS.  Canceling of subscription must be carried out by the user at least 1 day before the next renewal period to not be billed for the next renewal period and can be done in the App under "Billing Plan/Settings".  Cancellation does not, unless the user's account is terminated according to the TOS, restrict the user from enjoying the subscription features of the App until the end of the current renewal period.  The user may also update payment information in "Billing Plan/Settings";

  4. subscription fees not refundable unless required by law; we have the sole discretion of issuing refunds at any other time upon notifying the user for whom the refund would be addressed to;

  5. have the feature to pause subscription only when subscribed to the monthly plan.  When the user pauses the subscription in the middle of the renewal period after the user has already been billed for that period, a refund pro-rated to the number of full 24-hour days that the subscription was paused for during that period will be process and issued at the beginning of the next renewal period.  We are not held liable in any way for the refunds after they are issued out.  For example, if the subscription was paused for 10 days in a 30-day month renewal period, the amount to be refunded will be $1.33 (($3.99 / 30) x 10).  If the subscription continues to be paused through the next renewal period, the user will not be billed for that next renewal period at all.  Unpausing will reset the billing cycle to the day the subscription is unpaused and the user will be billed the price of the monthly plan set at the time with the most up-to-date user's payment information available at the time;

  6. the alteration of subscription rates and/or fees at any time upon notifying the user in advance;

  7. the handling of billing and charging by a third-party payment processor designated by the Service and/or App of the price corresponding to the subscription plan chosen by the user.
