You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Services. By using the Services and agreeing to this Agreement, you warrant and represent that you are at least 18. If you create an account on the Services, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with it. We may monitor and review new accounts before you sign in and start using the Services.
Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or other security breaches. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. We may suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) if we determine that you have violated any provision of this Agreement or that your conduct or content would tend to damage our reputation and goodwill. If we delete your account for the foregoing reasons, you may not re-register for our Services. We may block your email and Internet protocol addresses to prevent further registration.
We do not own any data, information or material (collectively, "Content") that you submit to the Services during using the Service. You shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use all submitted content. We may monitor and review the content on the Services submitted or created using our Services by you.
You grant us permission to access, copy, distribute, store, transmit, reformat, display and perform the content of your user account solely as required to provide the Services to you. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, we have the right, though not the obligation, to, in our own sole discretion, refuse or remove any Content that, in our reasonable opinion, violates any of our policies or is in any way harmful or objectionable. You also grant us the license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, publish or distribute the content created by you or stored in your user account for commercial, marketing or any similar purpose.
Please be aware that specific adult or mature Content may be available on the Services. Where there is mature or adult content, individuals under 18 years of age are not permitted to access such content under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Suppose we learn that anyone under 18 seeks to conduct a transaction through the Services. In that case, we will require verified parental consent by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"). Certain areas of the Services may not be available to children under 18.
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Where Services are offered on a free trial basis, payment may be required after the free trial period ends and not when you enter your billing details (which may be required prior to the commencement of the free trial period).
Suppose auto-renewal is enabled for the Services you have subscribed for. In that case, your payment information will be securely saved, and you will be charged automatically in accordance with the terms you selected. If, in our judgment, your purchase constitutes a high-risk transaction, we will require you to provide us with a copy of your valid government-issued photo identification and a copy of a recent bank statement for the credit or debit card used for the purchase. We reserve the right to change products and product pricing at any time.
We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. At our sole discretion, we may limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, household, or order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, credit card, and/or orders using the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.
