We reserve all rights in and to our Service not expressly granted to you under these TOS. We may modify these TOS, at our sole discretion, effective immediately upon posting of the revised TOS, and you agree to and accept this condition. Material changes to these TOS will be announced by posting them in the mobile application stores and Sites where our Service is available. You are responsible for checking these TOS each time before using our Service. Continued use of our Service following the posting of changes means that you accept and agree to the updated TOS.
If you are a resident of the United Kingdom or the European Union:
We can always change our Service and/or TOS
- to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
- to make minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These are changes that don't affect your use of the Service; and
- to update digital content, provided that the digital content always matches the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it. We might ask you to install these updates.
However, for more significant changes to the TOS and/or Service, we notify you of any changes in advance and please see the “contact” page on the Service if you would like to end these TOS before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Service you've paid for in advance, but not received
Scope of License
Your rights under these TOS are limited to a personal, non-commercial, nontransferable license to use our Service on devices that you own or control and as permitted by the usage rules for the applicable mobile app store through which you accessed our Service (if applicable) or other terms and conditions applying to your device. These TOS do not allow you to use our Service on any device that you do not own or control, and except as provided in the rules relating to your device, you may not distribute or make our Service available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer, redistribute, or sublicense our Service and, if you sell your device to a third party, you must remove the Applibot Apps before doing so. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by these TOS and the rules for your device), decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of our Service or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-source components included with our Service). Any attempt to do so is a violation of the rights of Applibot and our licensors. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.
These TOS will govern any updates provided by Applibot that replace and/or supplement our Service, unless such update is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern. You acknowledge that these TOS are concluded solely between you and Applibot, and not with any mobile application store from which you downloaded an Applibot App (for example, the Apple App Store or Google Play), and that Applibot is solely responsible for our Service and the content thereof, except as otherwise provided in these TOS. If you have an Apple device and these TOS are less restrictive than, or in conflict with, the terms of service for such device, the terms of service for such device will govern.
Use of the term “purchase” in these TOS does not imply that you obtain any ownership rights to our Service or any virtual currency or virtual goods.
Intellectual Property
All content included in our Service, including text, design, graphics, logos, user interfaces, button icons, images, photographs, audio clips, video clips, digital downloads, data compilations and software is owned by Applibot or our licensors and protected by applicable copyright laws. Our Service may include registered and unregistered trademarks owned by or licensed to Applibot, which may not be copied, imitated or used, without the prior written permission of Applibot. You agree that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any Applibot trademarks or Applibot marks, or any confusingly similar marks, anywhere in the world without our prior written consent in each case, which consent we may withhold in our sole discretion.
Charges
If there is a charge associated with our Service, you agree to pay that charge to access our Service. If any portion of our Service is free, there may still be charges for additional content within our Service, including virtual currency and virtual goods, and you agree to pay those charges to obtain such virtual currency or goods. You may be able to prevent purchase of such additional content by adjusting your device's settings.
The Apple iPhone, iPad and other devices may keep you logged on for a period of time after you download an Applibot App (or after you make a purchase through an Applibot App). This may allow a user (for example, a child) to incur charges without entering your password. This is a function of the software of these devices and not within our control. You may be able to change this function through the “settings” menu on your device.
Prices for our Service exclude all applicable taxes and currency exchange settlements, unless stated otherwise. You may still incur charges incidental to using our Service even if our Service itself is free (for example, charges for internet access, text messaging, and other data transmission). You are solely responsible for the payment of such taxes or other charges related to your use of our Service.
Any amounts paid for our Service are non-refundable, except to the extent required by applicable law in your jurisdiction or as expressly set forth in these TOS.
If you are a resident of the United Kingdom or the European Union, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase of a Service and receive a refund of what you paid for it. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below:
- When you can't change your mind. You can't change your mind about an order for: a. digital content, after you have started to download or stream these; or b. services, once these have been completed.

- When and how we refund you. We refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.
- You can end an on-going contract. We tell you when and how you can end an on-going contract with us (for example, for regular services or a subscription) during the order process and we confirm this information to you in writing after we've accepted your order. If you have any questions, please see the “contact” page on the Service.
- You have rights if there is something wrong with our Service. If you think there is something wrong with our Service, please see the “contact” page on the Service.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom or European Union:
- If you purchase any digital content (for example, an in-game item), you consent that we may make available to you an Applibot App and any virtual currency or virtual goods directly after your order has been accepted by the Apple App Store, Google Play or other mobile application store. As a result, you hereby expressly acknowledge that you lose any legal right to withdraw from the purchase of any Applibot App or such virtual items.

You understand that the acquisition of items through loot boxes is based on chance and may involve virtual currency or real-world purchases.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge that, in the event of any user or third-party claim relating to any Applibot App or your possession and use of any Applibot App, the mobile application store from which you obtained the Applibot App or any service available on any Applibot App (including the Apple App Store and Google Play) will not have any responsibility for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such claim. This includes, but is not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) claims of failure to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; and (d) claims of infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights.

B. Disputes
As used in these TOS, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, demand, action, proceeding, or other controversy between you and Applibot concerning our Service and your or Applibot's obligations and performance under these TOS, Applibot’s Privacy Policy or with respect to our Service, whether based in contract, warranty, tort (including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, concealment, omission, negligence, conversion, trespass, strict liability, and product liability), statute (including, without limitation, consumer protection and unfair competition statutes), regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis or theory. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

C. Mediation and Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
You may opt out of arbitration within a limited period. Please see “Opt-Out Right” below.
Informal Negotiation. You and Applibot agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute before commencing arbitration. Unless you and Applibot otherwise agree in writing, the time for informal negotiation will be sixty (60) days from the date on which you or Applibot provides written notice of the Dispute. You and Applibot agree that neither will commence arbitration before the end of the time for informal negotiation.
Binding Arbitration. If informal negotiation is not effective, arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Unless the claim is for more than US$10,000, the arbitration shall be conducted solely through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. INSTEAD, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, WHOSE AWARD (DECISION) WILL BE BINDING AND FINAL, EXCEPT FOR A LIMITED RIGHT OF APPEAL UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES MAY ENFORCE THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD. Nothing herein will prevent Applibot or you from pursuing a claim in small claims court with applicable jurisdiction.
Limitation. You and Applibot agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Applibot and you individually. YOU AND APPLIBOT AGREE THAT EACH 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, unless both you and Applibot agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this provision is determined to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Mediation and Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
Opt-Out Right. You can reject and opt out of this binding arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of your first use of our Service by contacting Applibot at the “contact” page on the Service with your first and last name and the e-mail address associated with your account and stating your intent to opt out of the binding arbitration. Note that opting out of this arbitration agreement does not affect any other part of these TOS, including the provisions regarding controlling law or in which courts any disputes must be brought.
This section survives termination of these TOS.
