By granting us access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that (i) we may access, make available, and store (if applicable) any content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (the “Social Network Content”) so that it is available on and through the Services via your account, including without limitation any friend lists and (ii) we may submit to and receive from your Third-Party Account additional information to the extent you are notified when you link your account with the Third-Party Account. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your account on the Services. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or our access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then Social Network Content may no longer be available on and through the Services. You will have the ability to disable the connection between your account on the Services and your Third-Party Accounts at any time. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. We make no effort to review any Social Network Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality, or non-infringement, and we are not responsible for any Social Network Content. You acknowledge and agree that we may access your email address book associated with a Third-Party Account and your contacts list stored on your mobile device or tablet computer solely for purposes of identifying and informing you of those contacts who have also registered to use the Services. You can deactivate the connection between the Services and your Third-Party Account by contacting us using the contact information below or through your account settings (if applicable). We will attempt to delete any information stored on our servers that was obtained through such Third-Party Account, except the username and profile picture that become associated with your account.

19. UPDATES TO THE APP

We may update the App from time to time for reasons that include fixing bugs or enhancing functionality. We might also change or remove functionality but if we do that, we will ensure that the App still meets the description of it that was provided to you at the time you downloaded the App.

Updates will either download automatically or you may need to trigger them yourself, depending on your device, its settings and the app store.

We strongly suggest that you download all updates as soon as they become available. Depending on the nature of the update, the App may not work properly (or at all), or you may be exposed to security vulnerabilities, if you do not keep the App updated to the latest version that we make available.

20. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may need to revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the App’s functionality, to deal with a security threat or if there is a change in the law or guidance.

You will be asked to agree to any material changes in advance which will usually occur when you download an update. If you do not accept the changes, you will not be able to use the App and can apply to us for a refund. 

21. EXTERNAL SERVICES

The App may enable you to access services and websites that we do not own or operate (referred to below as ‘external services’).

We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of these external services. Before using them, make sure you have read and agreed to the terms on which they are being offered to you including the way in which they may use your personal information.

You must not use external services in any way that:

is inconsistent with these terms or with the terms of the external service; or

infringes our intellectual property rights, or the intellectual property rights of any third party.

From time to time, we may change or remove the external services that are made available through the App.

22. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SERVICES OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION THAT YOU POSTED AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.

  1. We may (at our discretion) give you a reasonable amount of notice before the terms and our agreement with you ends but if what you have done is serious then we may end our agreement with you immediately and without advance notice to you. ‘Serious’ means that you are causing harm (or attempting to cause harm) to other users, interfering with the operation of the App or doing anything else that we think presents a big enough risk to justify us ending our agreement with you quickly.
  2. The consequences of our agreement with you ending are as follows:
    • you are no longer allowed to use the App and we may remotely limit your access to it;
    • you must delete it from any devices that it has been installed on;
    • we may delete or suspend access to any accounts that you hold with us; and
    • you are not entitled to a refund to the extent you paid for the App of any of its features.

23. TRANSFERRING THESE TERMS

We may transfer our rights under these terms to another business without your consent, but we will notify you of the transfer and make sure that you are not adversely affected as a result.

You are not allowed to transfer your rights under these terms to anyone without our prior written consent.
