2. VIRTUAL ITEMS

2.1 Our Services may enable you to acquire certain virtual items. This includes, for example, virtual currency, points, or similar virtual items (together “Virtual Items”). Virtual Items shall be due for payment immediately after confirmation of the order. Virtual Items have a period of validity as described in the Service descriptions. You agree that the virtual value of any Virtual Item does not correspond or equate to any real-life monetary value, credit balance or currency. You acknowledge that Virtual Items cannot be used outside of the respective Service.

2.2 Any virtual currency or similar balance does not constitute a real-world balance or comprise any stored value. Your right to use the Virtual Items is personal to you unless we agree otherwise, and is limited to your right to use the Services for non-commercial entertainment purposes. You may not re-sell or trade any Virtual Items.

2.3 Virtual Items to be used for purchase of Services (such as virtual currency) have a period of validity of three (3) years beginning with the end of the calendar year in which you purchased the Virtual Items (or if shorter, for the period the applicable Service remains available).

3. TRIAL VERSIONS

3.1 We may at our sole discretion offer you Subscriptions and Purchase Services for a certain time free of charge for selected functionalities of the Service or the entire Service (“Trial Version”).

3.2 Unless described otherwise in the Service descriptions, we will convert the Trial Version to a Purchase Service or Subscription Service subject to a fee. This automatic conversion does not apply where, in case of a Subscription Service, you have deactivated the automatic renewal in your iTunes account settings, Google Play account settings or other subscription platform settings at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period or before the respective automatic renewal deadline of the respective subscription platform.

4. USE RIGHTS; TERM; TERMINATION

4.1 The term for a Purchase Service begins with the placement of the order e.g. by clicking “buy”, “get”, “purchase”, “confirm” or “start trial” and/or using additional confirmation methods (e.g. fingerprint, FaceID, etc.) in the respective Service (“Purchase Date”) with an indefinite term until you delete the Service or terminate any premium features of the Purchase Service. In addition to section 3.1 of Part A of these Terms of Service, the use rights granted by Maple Media are bound to the respective Service that you have purchased and any updates or new releases of the Purchase Service for the warranty period. Where Maple Media continues to allow you to use newer versions or releases of the Purchases Services, such use will only be granted on Maple Media’s sole discretion.

4.2 The term for a Subscription Service begins with the placement of the order (e.g. by clicking “buy”, “get”, “purchase”, “confirm”, “subscribe”, or “start trial” and/or using additional confirmation methods (e.g. fingerprint) in the respective Service) and continues for the initial term (weekly, monthly or yearly) as provided in the applicable Service descriptions (“Initial Term”). The subscription for the Subscription Service will automatically renew for the same period as the Initial Term (“Renewal Term”) and in accordance with the then-current fees as described in the Service descriptions, unless you have deactivated the automatic renewal in your iTunes account settings, Google Play account settings or other subscription platform settings, or used any other termination mechanism on the subscription platform, as applicable, at least 24 hours before the end of the then current subscription term (“Termination Period”). If you have terminated the subscription before the Termination Period, then you will not be able to access and use the Subscription Services, including paid subscriptions to special features, once the Initial Term or the respective Renewal Term has expired. The statutory rights to terminate the agreement for cause shall not be affected. We shall be entitled to terminate the Subscription Service effective as of the end of each Initial or Renewal Term by providing fourteen (14) days prior notice. In case of a termination you are obliged to cancel your subscriptions in your iTunes account settings, Google Play account settings or other subscription platform settings or to use any other termination mechanism on the subscription platform.

4.3 The term of a Trial Version begins with the placement of the order (e.g. by clicking “buy” or “purchase” in the respective Service) ends after the term announced in the Service descriptions (“Trial Period”). The term of a Trial Version ends automatically after the Trial Period without requirement of a termination of either party. Once your Trial Period expires, you will no longer be able to access the Trial Version of the Services. Maple Media reserves the right (i) to determine if you are eligible to use the Trial Version and (ii) to discontinue any Trial Version without notice at our sole discretion.

5. PAYMENT

5.1 Fees for Purchase Services will be charged to your iTunes account, Google Play account or other platform account at confirmation of purchase. If you make a purchase by accident or want to refund your purchase, please contact the Online Store provider within 24 after you place your purchase. This does not affect any statutory claims for refund, such as the withdrawal right for European users.

5.2 Fees for Subscription Services will be charged to your iTunes account, Google Play account or other platform account at confirmation of purchase for the Initial Term and within 24 hours prior to the beginning of a Renewal Term.

PART C OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE – ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR U.S. USERS AND USERS OUTSIDE EUROPE

This Part C of the Terms of Service applies in addition to Part A and Part B of the Terms of Service if you use the Services from the United States and other locations outside of Europe. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this Part C of the Terms of Service and the provisions of Part A or Part B of the Terms of Service, the provisions of this Part C of the Terms of Service shall take precedence.

1. INDEMNIFICATION OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

1.1 You hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold us, our business partners, third-party suppliers and providers, licensors, officers, directors, employees, distributors and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, and expenses (including without limitation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Parties) in connection with any claim or action that:

(i) arises from any alleged breach by you of these Terms of Service or any representations, warranties and/or covenants contained herein
(ii) arises from the Content or effects of any messages you Post using our Services, or
(iii) otherwise arises from or relates to your use of our Services.

1.2 In addition, you acknowledge and agree that the Indemnified Parties have the right to seek damages from you when you use our Services for unlawful purposes, in an unlawful manner, and/or in a manner inconsistent with these Terms of Service. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that these damages may include, without limitation, direct, indirect, special, incidental, cover, reliance and/or consequential damages.

2. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

2.1 Claims. In order to expedite the resolution of disputes and control related costs, you and Maple Media agree that any legal or equitable claim relating to these Terms of Service (referred to as a “Claim”) will be resolved as set forth in this Governing Law and Dispute Resolution Section.

2.2 Informal Resolution and Written Notice of Claim. You and Maple Media agree that we will first try to resolve any Claim informally by giving informal written notice prior to initiating any formal proceeding (including litigation or other legal proceeding). Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding for at least thirty (30) days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim in writing (“Notice of Claim”). If Maple Media has a Claim against you, we will send our Notice of Claim to your email address. If you believe you have a Claim against us, You will send your Notice of Claim to [email protected] with “Notice of Claim” clearly indicated in the subject line.

2.3 Arbitration. Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. Maple Media and you (such references include our respective predecessors in interest, successors and assigns) agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service between Maple Media and you. The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Service, and shall be administered by the AAA. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by these Terms of Service. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Maple Media will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is improper or not warranted, as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), then the payment of all such fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Maple Media for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator grants relief to you that is equal to or greater than the value of your demand, Maple Media shall reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred for the arbitration. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Maple Media are waiving the right to a trial by jury. You and Maple Media agree that YOU AND Maple Media MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration clause shall be null and void.

2.4 Formal Resolution. If we cannot resolve a Claim informally, you and Maple Media each agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in New York and agree that any and all Claims either of us asserts shall be exclusively brought in the appropriate state or federal court in the Southern District of the State of New York, provided that neither you nor Maple Media shall be precluded from filing a Claim in small claims court, regardless of whether such small claims court is located in New York, for disputes within the jurisdiction of a small claims court.

2.5 Governing Law and Jurisdictional Issues. These Terms of Service are governed in all respects by the substantive laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed. Those who choose to access our Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Access to our Services from any territory where the content is illegal is prohibited. You may not use or export any of the materials available on or through our Services in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations.
