Accounts

Each account must be set up by a designated Adult User. The Adult User is responsible for payments and all use on the account, including to protect the confidentiality of account information and passwords. Please notify Us if you have lost control of your account ID or password or you suspect there is unauthorized activity in your account. Subscriptions. For certain types of accounts, We charge a fee, such as a subscription or purchase fee. For existing subscribers, as a subscriber you may receive access to certain sections, features and functions of the Services that are not available to trial members. We currently offer monthly, annual and lifetime subscription options.

“Monthly” subscriptions are paid in monthly installments. For each month that your monthly subscription is active, you acknowledge and agree that We are authorized to charge the same credit card as was used for the initial subscription fee or other payment method in the amount of the then current monthly subscription fee. The monthly renewal subscription fees will continue to be billed to the Payment Method you provided, automatically until cancelled.

“Yearly” subscriptions are paid for by an upfront one-time payment with automatic annual renewal. “Yearly” subscriptions are paid for by an upfront one-off payment with automatic annual renewals respectively. You acknowledge and agree that We are authorized to charge the Payment Method used for the initial annual or two year subscription fee at the rate secured at the time of purchase.

Our “Lifetime” subscription is paid for by a one-off upfront payment.

You can become a subscriber by purchasing a subscription to the Services on the Sites, and within the Apps, where allowed by the App marketplace partners. By activating a paid subscription account, except where you have purchased a lifetime membership (where there is only a one time charge) you agree that we may renew your subscription automatically and you authorize Us to charge you upon the monthly or annual renewal as the case may be for the subscription term, unless you cancel your account prior to its renewal date through the cancellation procedures described on the platform where you purchased. Your credit card (or other method of payment if originally used) will be charged each year, month or other applicable period at the then-current applicable price. We may offer promotional trial subscriptions to access the Services for free or at discounted prices. If you sign up for a trial subscription, your rights to use the Services are limited to the terms of such trial and will terminate or renew according to those terms.

Prices

We may change the amount of such fees at any time at the end of your subscription period, provided that, we will first notify you by email or via posting on our website. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds for existing subscribers.

Cancellation

The cancellation procedures will be set forth on the platform where you purchase. For example, if you purchased a subscription through the Apple iTunes Store or our iPhone application, you may cancel automatic renewals by selecting Manage App Subscriptions in your iTunes Account settings and selecting the subscription you want to modify. If you purchased a subscription through the Google Play store you may cancel automatic renewals in account settings under Subscriptions in the Google Play app, or according to the current process outlined by Google Play. If you purchase a subscription through a bundle subscription partner, you may cancel according to the process outlined by the bundle subscription partner. You may also cancel by providing us notice at the address below at least 30 days prior to your renewal period. Please note that if you purchase a subscription through the Apple iTunes Store or our iPhone application, the sale is final, and is not subject to any refunds. Purchases made through Google Play can be refunded within 2 hours of when the purchase is made by going into your account order history and selecting the subscription you want to modify and clicking refund.

For cancellations, You must cancel your Monthly subscription before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month’s subscription fee. You must cancel your Yearly subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the renewal subscription fee. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial subscription period or once the next subscription period is charged.

Credit Card Charges

Subscriptions are in US dollars. Our third party payment provider can accept payments in multiple currencies and will convert and deposit funds in US dollars, subject to a conversion fee.

You agree to promptly notify Us of any changes to the credit card or other payment method you provided while subscriptions remain outstanding. You are responsible for all applicable fees and charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all subscriptions purchased by you. In the course of your use of the Services, We and our payment service provider may receive and implement updated credit card information from your credit card issuer in order to prevent your subscription from being interrupted by an outdated or invalid card. This disbursement of the updated credit card information is provided to Us and our payment service provider at the sole election of your credit card issuer. Your credit card issuer may give you the right to opt-out of the updated service. Should you desire to do so, please contact your credit card issuer.

We do not want to receive information that is confidential or proprietary. If you send us feedback, suggestions, content or ideas of any kind, including potential improvements to the Services, we may use such suggestions, content and/or ideas for any or all purposes, with no compensation or attribution to you.

This Agreement will not be construed against either party as the drafter.

You are responsible for being informed about and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your use of the Services.

Your registration and use of the Services constitutes consent to receiving electronic communications from Us. You agree that any such communications from Us satisfies any legal requirements, such as that notice be provided to you in writing. You also consent to receiving promotional messages, offers, surveys, and requests electronically. If you no longer want to receive non-transactional communications, you may unsubscribe at any time.

As stated above, the Agreement includes these terms and any additional terms you enter into with Company. The Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Company and it replaces any other agreement between us on this subject.

You cannot assign the Agreement without the written agreement. We can assign the agreement to any entity that agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.

The Agreement is governed by California law, excluding its choice of laws principles. The exclusive venue for any litigation arising from or related to the Services shall be the courts of Los Angeles County, California, except for any optional arbitration as described next. Excluding claims for equitable relief, if the total amount in dispute is less than $5,000, either party may elect to resolve the claim through binding arbitration by initiating arbitration through an established provider that is agreed by the parties. The arbitration must be conducted under the following rules: (a) at the choice of the party seeking relief, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, or solely on written submissions; (b) no party or witness will make any personal appearance unless the parties agree otherwise; and (c) the winning party may have the arbitrator’s award entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any claims (in court or in arbitration) must be brought in the initiating party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class action or other similar proceeding. This Agreement does not allow class of collective arbitrations even if the arbitration procedures or rules would. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

If any part of the Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that condition will not affect any other provision of the Agreement. A delay or failure to require performance of any provision will not constitute a waiver of any rights and will not impede the ability to enforce that provision later.
