3. Geographic Restrictions

Certain features are available only to users located within certain geographical regions.

Auto-Renewing Subscriptions

Certain features of the App are available only through paid subscriptions. Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) and will automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

Billing and Payments

Payments for subscriptions are processed through third-party platforms (Apple App Store or Google Play). You agree that the App does not collect or store your payment information and is not responsible for any issues related to billing, payment processing, or subscription management through those platforms.

Free Trials

We may offer a free trial for new subscribers. If not canceled before the trial period ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and be billed according to your selected plan.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing. Any price changes will be communicated to you in advance and will apply to your next billing cycle.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings in the Apple App Store or Google Play. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.

Refunds

All payments are non-refundable unless otherwise required by the policies of Apple or Google Play or applicable law. You must contact the respective platform (Apple or Google) for any billing disputes or refund requests.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any part of it, including any subscription features or services, at any time, for any reason, and without notice or liability.
