Some functionality is included for free when you register, but to get additional features, as described in the App, you need to subscribe. We may change the App functionality from time to time, including by adding or removing features from the free or subscription packages.

To become a subscriber, you must pay the applicable subscription fees for the subscription type of your choice.

Subscriptions are purchased (and must be cancelled or terminated) through Apple / Google. A purchase via an app store will take place when you click on “Buy now” and, when required, you enter your password or equivalent credentials (e.g., touch ID or face ID) for the app store. Your contractual relationship with Apple / Google will be confirmed on the date that Apple / Google sends you an email confirmation of your order; and Apple / Google will invoice you for any subscription charges through your Apple / Google account. You will also find in the app store all the essential information that you need about your contractual relationship with Apple / Google. If you purchase a subscription via the app store that is subject to automatic extension, the subscription will run for the fixed term, which will automatically extend unless you terminate your subscription with Apple / Google in accordance with Apple’s / Google’s terms and conditions.

We remain responsible for the provision of our service.

Subscriptions start upon subscription confirmation (“Purchase”). By law, you have 14 days starting from the day following a Purchase to exercise your right to cancel your subscription (without giving any reason), provided you haven’t already accessed the services during this period.

As you purchased your subscription via Apple/Google, cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple/Google under their own terms and conditions which we do not control. To request a refund, you must log in to your Apple ID/Google ID and follow Apple/Google’s cancellation and refund instructions.

If you’d like to suspend or delete your profile (which will mean you don’t receive any messages and your profile is not visible to other users), you can request a suspension or deletion via your account settings. If you have any problems activating a suspension or deletion, please contact us.

Note: suspending or deleting your account will not cancel your subscription payments via Google/ Apple. See below.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. To request the termination of a subscription, you must log in to your Apple ID/Google ID and follow Apple/Google’s instructions. You will not be eligible for any refunds (unless you are terminating because we have breached these Terms).

We may: edit your account details; temporarily suspend your account; and/or cancel your account, at any time in our sole discretion, providing that if we cancel any services you have paid for and you have not breached these terms and conditions, you will be entitled to a refund of any amounts paid to us in respect of those services that were to be provided by us to you after the date of such cancellation; we will give you reasonable written notice of any cancellation.
