\n VII. Rights You Grant Us\n
\n Many of our Services let you create, upload, post, send, receive,\n and store content. When you do that, you retain whatever ownership\n rights in that content you had to begin with. But you grant us a\n license to use that content. While we’re not required to do so, we\n may access, review, screen, and delete your content at any time and\n for any reason, including to provide and develop the Service or if\n we think your content violates these Terms. You alone, though,\n remain responsible for the content you create, upload, post, send,\n or store through the Service. We always love to hear from our users.\n But if you provide feedback or suggestions, just know that we can\n use them without compensating you, and without any restriction or\n obligation to you.\n
\n VIII. User Generated Content\n
\n Much of the content on our Service is produced by users and other\n third parties. Whether that content is posted publicly or sent\n privately, the content is the sole responsibility of the person or\n organization that submitted it. Although BeFriend reserves the right\n to review or remove all content that appears on the Service, we do\n not necessarily review all of it. So we cannot—and do not—take\n responsibility for any content that others provide through the\n Services. Through these Terms, we make clear that we do not want the\n Service put to bad uses. But because we do not review all content,\n we cannot guarantee that content on the Services will always conform\n to our Terms. If you have any concerns or want to report any\n concerning content, please promptly contact us at support@swipr.cc\n or use the reporting feature within the BeFriend mobile application.\n

\n XII. Purchases\n
\n Generally. From time to time, BeFriend may offer products and\n services for purchase (“in app purchases”) through iTunes, Google\n Play, BeFriend direct billing or other payment platforms authorized\n by Guppir. If you choose to make an in app purchase, you will be\n prompted to confirm your purchase with the applicable payment\n provider, and your method of payment (be it your card or a third\n party account such as Google Play or iTunes) (your “Payment Method”)\n will be charged at the prices displayed to you for the service(s)\n you’ve selected as well as any sales or similar taxes that may be\n imposed on your payments, and you authorize BeFriend or the third\n party account, as applicable, to charge you.\n
\n Auto_Renewal: If you purchase an auto-recurring\n periodic subscription, your Payment Method will continue to be\n billed for the subscription until you cancel. After your initial\n subscription commitment period, and again after any subsequent\n subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue\n for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when\n subscribing. If you do not wish your subscription to renew\n automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your\n subscription, you will need to log in to your third party account\n and follow instructions to cancel your subscription, even if you\n have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted\n the BeFriend application from your device. Deleting your account on\n BeFriend or deleting the BeFriend application from your device does\n not cancel your subscription; BeFriend will retain all funds charged\n to your Payment Method until you cancel your subscription on\n BeFriend or the third party account, as applicable. If you cancel\n your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of\n your then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not\n be renewed after your then-current term expires.\n
\n\n Virtual Items: From time to time, you may be able\n to purchase, a limited, personal, non-transferable,\n non-sublicensable, revocable license to use “virtual items,” such as\n gems (collectively, “Virtual Items”). Any Virtual Item balance shown\n in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect\n any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the\n extent of your license. Virtual Items do not incur fees for non-use,\n however, the license granted to you in Virtual Items will terminate\n in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, when BeFriend ceases\n providing the Service or your account is otherwise closed or\n terminated. BeFriend, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to\n charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Items and/ or may\n distribute Virtual Items with or without charge. BeFriend may\n manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items at any\n time. BeFriend shall have no liability to you or any third party in\n the event that Guppir exercises any such rights. Virtual Items may\n only be redeemed through the Service. ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS\n OF VIRTUAL ITEMS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE FINAL AND\n NON-REFUNDABLE. The provision of Virtual Items for use in the\n Service is a service that commences immediately upon the acceptance\n of your purchase of such Virtual Items. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT\n BeFriend IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND\n THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED\n VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS\n VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.\n
\n\n Refunds: Generally, all charges for purchases are\n nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially\n used periods. We may make an exception if the laws applicable in\n your jurisdiction provide for refunds For subscribers residing in\n Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New\n York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, the terms below apply: You\n may cancel your subscription, without penalty or obligation, at any\n time prior to midnight of the third business day following the date\n you subscribed. In the event that you die before the end of your\n subscription period, your estate shall be entitled to a refund of\n that portion of any payment you had made for your subscription which\n is allocable to the period after your death. In the event that you\n become disabled (such that you are unable to use the services of\n BeFriend) before the end of your subscription period, you shall be\n entitled to a refund of that portion of any payment you had made for\n your subscription which is allocable to the period after your\n disability by providing the company notice in the same manner as you\n request a refund as described below.\n
\n\n To request a refund: If you subscribed using your\n Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple, not BeFriend. To request a\n refund, go to iTunes, click on your Apple ID, select “Purchase\n history,” find the transaction and hit “Report Problem”. You can\n also submit a request at https://getsupport.apple.com. If you\n subscribed using your Google Play Store account or through BeFriend\n directly: please contact customer support at support@swipr.cc with\n your order number for the Google Play Store (you can find the order\n number by logging in to Google Wallet). Please also include the\n first name and telephone number associated with your account along\n with your order number.\n
\n\n\n XIII. Copyright\n
\n BeFriend honors copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium\n Copyright Act. We therefore take reasonable steps to expeditiously\n remove from our Service any infringing material that we become aware\n of.\n
\n XIV. Data Charges\n
\n By using the Service on your mobile phone (and/or any other device)\n you may be subject to charges by your Internet or mobile service\n provider, so check with them first if you are not sure, as you will\n be responsible for any such costs.\n
\n XV. Modifying the Service and Termination\n
\n BeFriend is always striving to improve the Service and bring you\n additional functionality that you will find engaging and useful.\n This means we may add new product features or enhancements from time\n to time as well as remove some features, and if these actions do not\n materially affect your rights or obligations, we may not provide you\n with notice before taking them. We may even suspend the Service\n entirely, in which event we will notify you in advance unless\n extenuating circumstances, such as safety or security concerns,\n prevent us from doing so. You may terminate your account at any\n time, for any reason, by contacting us and letting us know you’d\n like to terminate your account. However if you use a third party\n payment account, you will need to manage in app purchases through\n such account (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional\n billing. We reserve the right to terminate your user account at any\n time, including if you have failed to comply with any of the\n provisions of these Terms, or if activities occur on your account\n which, in our sole discretion, would or might cause damage to or\n impair the Services or infringe or violate any third party rights,\n or violate any applicable laws or regulations. Upon such\n termination, you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases.\n
\n XVI. Indemnity\n
\n You agree, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and\n hold harmless BeFriend, our affiliates, directors, officers,\n stockholders, employees, licensors, and agents from and against any\n and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs,\n liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) due to,\n arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your access to or use\n of the Service; (b) your content; and (c) your breach of these\n Terms.\n
