You may make an in-app purchase through the following payment methods (“Payment Method”): (a) make a purchase through a third-party platform such as the Apple Store and Google Play Store (“Third-Party Store”), or ( b) pay with your credit card, debit card or PayPal account, which will be processed by a third party processor. Once you have made an in-app purchase, you authorize Hioosh to charge your chosen payment method. If we do not receive payment via your chosen payment
method, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand from us.

Subscriptions and auto-renewal: Hioosh may offer certain services in the form of auto-renewing subscriptions, for example a weekly, one or more month subscription (“Premium Services”). IF YOU PURCHASE AN AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AT THE END OF THE PERIOD AT THE PRICE INITIALLY PAID, UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT. If you do not want your purchase to be renewed, you must cancel, as described below, before the end of the current subscription period. Deleting your Account or deleting the Application from your device does not cancel your subscription. You will be informed of changes to the pricing of the Premium Services to which you have subscribed and will have the opportunity to cancel. If Hioosh changes its prices and you do not cancel your subscription, you agree to be billed at the subscription price then in effect on Hioosh.

Cancellation of subscriptions. If you purchased a subscription directly from Hioosh, you can cancel or change your payment method through the payment settings option on your profile. If you purchased a subscription through a Third-Party Store, such as the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you will need to access your account on that application and follow the instructions to change or cancel your
subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you can use your subscription until the end of the current period, but (i) you will not be eligible for a pro-rated refund (except as provided in the “Refunds” paragraph below), (ii) your subscription will not be renewed at the end of this period and (iii) you will then no longer be able to use the Premium Services or In-App Purchases activated by your subscription.

As our Services can be used without a subscription, canceling your subscription does not remove your profile from our Services. If you wish to terminate your Account completely, you must do so in accordance with Section 15.

Hioosh operates globally, and our pricing varies based on several factors. We frequently offer promotional pricing – which may vary depending on region, subscription length, plan size and other criteria. Hioosh also regularly tests new features and payment options. Hioosh reserves the right, without notice, to limit the available quantity of any product, feature, service, or other offering, or to cease offering them; to impose conditions for honoring any discount, offer or other promotion; to prohibit any user from carrying out a transaction; and refuse to provide any user with any product, service, or other offer, or to honor any offer.

Free trials. If you sign up for a free trial and do not cancel, your trial may convert to a paid subscription and your payment method will be charged at the then-current price for that subscription. Once your free trial is converted to a paid subscription, your paid subscription will continue to auto-renew at the end of each period, and your payment method will be charged until you cancel it. To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel before the end of the current subscription period or free trial period as described above. Deleting your Account or deleting
the App from your device does not cancel your free trial. If you have already signed up for a free trial of Hioosh through the Apple Store or Google Play Store, you will not be eligible for another free trial and will be automatically enrolled in a subscription and billed (e) as described in this paragraph.

Refunds. Generally, all purchase fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

Problem.” You can also submit a request to https://getsupport.apple.com.

17. MISCELLANEOUS

There are a few more things we need to mention before you can use Hioosh.

These Terms, which we may modify from time to time, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hioosh. The T&Cs take precedence over any prior agreement, representation or arrangement between you and Hioosh, written or oral, except the Privacy Policy. Nothing in this clause limits or excludes any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Hioosh has taken reasonable steps to ensure the timeliness, availability, accuracy and completeness of the information contained on Hioosh and provides this information as is and as available. Hioosh does not give or provide any warranties or representations of any kind regarding the information contained on Hioosh, express or implied.

The use of Hioosh and materials available on the Application is at your sole risk. Hioosh will not be held responsible for any loss related to the transmission, use of data or erroneous Member Content. You are responsible for taking all necessary precautions to ensure that the material you obtain from Hioosh does not contain viruses or other components that could cause damage. You agree that Hioosh will not be provided without interruptions or errors, that certain defects cannot be corrected
or that Hioosh, or the server that makes it available, is free of viruses, bugs, spyware, Trojan horses, or other similar malicious software. Hioosh is not responsible for any damage to your computer hardware, software or other equipment or technology, including without limitation damage resulting from a security breach or virus, bug, alteration, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network malfunction or any other technical or other

For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Hioosh in electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Hioosh provides to you electronically would be satisfactory electronically if it would be in writing.

As Hioosh grows, we may need to change our T&Cs. We reserve the right to modify, change or make modifications to the T&Cs at any time (a “Modification”). If applicable, the Modifications will appear on this page and we will indicate the date of entry into force of the updates at the bottom of these T&Cs, you may receive an e-mail to inform you of the Modifications. We may also ask you to accept our Changes. Check this page regularly to be informed of the provisions governing your relationship with Hioosh.

By continuing to use Hioosh following a Modification, you accept this Modification, and you will be legally bound by the updated T&Cs. If you do not accept the Changes to the T&Cs, you must immediately stop using Hioosh. If for any reason any of the Terms is found to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it will be deleted and the remainder of the Terms will continue in full force and effect, binding and enforceable.

Failure or delay in exercising any rights, powers or privileges hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights nor constitute a modification of the T&Cs. The partial exercise or on a single occasion by one of the parties of a right, power or privilege in no way prevents its subsequent exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
