3. Services Description
3.1 Nature of Services
The Company provides consumer and business software applications through its registered DBA brands. Services are provided “as is” and are subject to change at the Company’s discretion, with notice as described in Section 10.
3.2 Product-Specific Services
Specific features, functionality, and service levels for each product are described in the applicable product annex (see Section 11). These master Terms establish the general relationship applicable to all products.
3.3 Account Registration
Certain services require account registration. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
- Maintain the security of your credentials and promptly notify us of unauthorized access
- Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account
- Not share account credentials with third parties or register on behalf of another person without their authorization
3.4 Subscriptions and Auto-Renewal
Certain products may offer optional paid subscription plans with additional features. Where a product offers a subscription purchased through the applicable app store, the following applies unless the product’s annex (Section 11) states otherwise:
- Pricing. Current subscription pricing and billing period (e.g., monthly or annual) are displayed in-app at the point of purchase, before you confirm.
- Payment and auto-renewal. Payment is charged to your Apple ID (or other applicable app store account) at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same billing period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Cancellation. You may manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your app store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to paid features through that period.
- Billing and refunds. All billing for app-store subscriptions, and any refund requests, are handled by the applicable app store operator (e.g., Apple) in accordance with that operator’s own terms, not by the Company.
- Product-specific terms. Additional subscription details for a specific product, if any, are set out in that product’s annex (see Section 11).
