1. Term.

This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you access or use the Services. You may terminate your use of or registration for the Services at any time by closing your User Account (as defined at Section 4.1 below) in accordance with our then-applicable requirements.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Hoppy may suspend or terminate your use of or registration for, or modify your access to, the Services at any time in whole or in part without liability or obligation to you or any third-party, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have materially or repeatedly breached this Agreement, if we determine in our sole discretion that your use of the Services or User Content you create breaches any part of this Agreement (including the Community Guidelines), if we reasonably believe there has been conduct which creates liability for us, if we are required to by applicable law or to comply with a court order, if your User Account becomes inactive for a period of 180 days, or if we decide to stop providing the Services. In the event of any suspension or termination, you must stop all use of the Services (including refraining from creating a new User Account); and to the extent permitted by applicable law you will still be bound by your obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any Additional Terms), such as any indemnifications, warranties, grants and limitations of liability (if applicable).

2. Modifications.

From time to time, we may amend this Agreement at our sole discretion. In addition to posting any amended Agreement publicly on the Services, we may also, to the extent required by applicable law, distribute amended terms directly to users. Your failure to terminate your User Account following any such amendment shall constitute your acceptance of the Agreement as amended. It is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.

You must be at least 18 years of age in order to access the Services.

4.1 User Registration.

In order to access and use some of the Services, we may require that you register for an account ("User Account") and validate your User Account using a verification code which will be sent to your mobile phone number using the available method of your choosing. Available delivery methods for verification codes depend on your mobile phone number’s location, and currently include either via voice call or SMS message in most markets. You should contact your wireless provider if you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, as SMS and data rates may apply. For all questions about the services provided by short code SMS, we recommend you consult our Privacy Policy, or you can send an email to dpo@hoppy.app. We will use this mobile phone number and the unique device identifier assigned to your device ("Device ID") to manage your access to your User Account (your mobile phone number and your Device ID together are your "User Credentials"). We may also request that you provide certain additional information as prompted by our user registration flow and related processes, including email address, name, age, biometric information (such as height), gender identity, photos, date of birth, your location, and other profile information such as a username, or usernames on linked social media accounts (collectively “Profile Information”).

It is therefore critical that you do not share your User Credentials with anyone. You agree to immediately notify Hoppy of any unauthorized use of your User Credentials, User Account or Device, or any other breach of security, including, but not limited to, in the event your Device is lost or stolen. It is your sole responsibility to (i) control the dissemination and use of your User Credentials, User Account and Device; (ii) update, maintain and control access to your User Credentials, User Account and Device; and (iii) cancel your User Account on the Services if you no longer wish to use the Services. We reserve the right to deny access, use and registration privileges to anyone if we believe there is a question about the identity of the person trying to access any account or element of the Services. To the extent permitted by law, Hoppy will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 4 or any other provision of this Agreement.

4.3 Profile Information.

Your Profile Information, including your name, must comply with these Terms, including our Guidelines.

The Services may require certain location data from you prior to your access, or on an on-going or continuous basis, in order to enable certain features of the Services (e.g., registration, determining and updating your city, searching contacts by city, showing you nearby users etc.) or to otherwise allow you to access certain content, products, services, information and other materials ("Location-Based Content"). In order to make Location-Based Content available to you, the Services will determine your location using one or more points of data, reference or information associated with, among other things, your Device (e.g., GPS, beacons, Bluetooth, device software, and other points of data etc.). If you have set your Device to disable location features or other location determining or assisting software, the Services may not be able to determine your location and you may not be able to use parts of the Services or access Location-Based Content. If you have enabled location features, then Hoppy will automatically update the city location in your profile when you open the App in a new location. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information on how we use your location data.

15. Payment; Pricing; Related Terms of Service.

15.1 Fee-Based Services.

The Services may include the ability to make certain fee-based transactions, including, but not limited to, the ability to purchase goods and services ("Fee-Based Services"). In some cases, you may be required to make one payment to Hoppy (for example, a deposit) and one or more subsequent payments to a third-party merchant or service provider to complete the transaction. Additional Terms may apply to your use of, access to and purchase of Fee-Based Services and will be presented to you at the time of purchase. Additional Terms may include terms and conditions between you and Hoppy or terms and conditions from third-party merchants or service providers who provide the Fee-Based Services. Such Additional Terms are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Unless otherwise stated in the Additional Terms for particular Fee-Based Services, the following terms and conditions will apply to all Fee-Based Services:

1. You may only use the Fee-Based Services if, and you hereby represent, warrant and agree that (a) you are 18 years of age or older and (b) you will pay in full the prices and fees, including, but not limited to, all applicable taxes (as more fully described below) for any purchases you, or anyone using the User Account registered to you, make via an Authorized Payment Method (as defined in Section 15.2 below);
2. All transactions for Fee-Based Services are non-refundable unless otherwise stated at the time of the transaction or required under the laws of the country in which you reside. However, Hoppy reserves the right to cancel any transaction in its sole discretion, in which case you will be given a full refund; and
3. If you have a complaint or dispute about a certain charge, or about a certain feature or product made available on or in connection with the Fee-Based Services, you must promptly notify Hoppy customer service of such complaint or dispute by sending a detailed email to support@hoppy.app.

15.2 Payment Method and Terms.

The Services accept certain methods of payment which will be indicated at the time of purchase as forms of payment, such as through the Apple App Store, Google Play or other payment methods authorized by us from time to time (each, an "Authorized Payment Method"), subject to certain restrictions, including, but not limited to, territory restrictions, bank/payment card restrictions, spending limits, third-party service provider restrictions or otherwise, which may prevent the processing of your order.

If you pay through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you will be directed to that platform to confirm your payment and subscription terms, which may include applicable taxes and other third party charges through your payment provider. You authorize us to charge you, and you authorize the third party provider of the Authorized Payment Method to charge you in accordance with the terms of your purchase, and as applicable, recurring periodic subscription. If you are using a payment card for a purchase, we may obtain a pre-approval from the applicable payment card company for an amount up to the amount of the order. All purchases are final once you click the "Submit" or similar button or link. Billing to your Authorized Payment Method occurs at that time or shortly afterward.

If payment is not received by us from your credit, debit or charge card issuer or its agents or other payment service provider, you agree to pay all amounts due as soon as we ask you to.

You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using the App account registered to you. You agree that we can change the prices of any of our Services in any manner and at any time as we may determine at our sole discretion. These changes take effect after we have notified you of them.

Auto-renewal and payment. Services which require you to have a subscription (whether or not by clicking ‘subscribe’, or which are described as granting you access to a tier, such as ‘premium’ or granting you ‘unlimited’ access to a feature, or function within the App) will renew automatically until you cancel or that Service is discontinued. By purchasing a subscription, you agree that we can continue to charge you, via your Authorized Payment Method, monthly in advance. Each monthly payment will be debited within 24 hours of the day of the month in which you first purchased your subscription via your chosen Authorized Payment Method. For example, if you purchased a subscription at 1:00 pm on the 4th day of April, your first billing cycle will start on that date and your next monthly payments will be debited each month between 1:00 pm on 3rd and 5th of each month, starting in May.

Canceling a subscription. Deleting the App from your device will not cancel your subscription(s). If you change your mind about a subscription and wish to change or terminate it, you must do so through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Changes to your subscription, including terminating your subscription altogether, will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you can continue to use your subscription until the end of that billing cycle.

15.3 Taxes.

You are responsible for any taxes imposed on any Fee-Based Services conducted on or in connection with the Services and applicable taxes will be added to the amount charged for the applicable transaction. Fee-Based Services in connection with the Services may include, but are not limited to, sales tax, use tax, VAT and any other applicable taxes, which may be based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the billing address and tax rates in effect at the time your transaction is completed. No users are eligible for tax exemptions for transactions made in connection with the Services.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you accepted this Agreement, both we and you knew it might happen.

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

When we are liable for damage to your property. If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation.

18.6 Limitations to the App and the Services.

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the App and the Services, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that such information is accurate, complete or up-to-date.

Please back-up content and data used with the Services. We recommend that you back up any content and data used in connection with the Services, to protect yourself in case of problems with the App or the Services.

The App and the Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the App and the Services (as described on the Site, the relevant app store and in the User Documentation) meet your requirements.

We are not responsible for events outside our control. If our provision of the Services or support for the App or the Services is delayed by an event outside our control we will take reasonable steps to minimize the effect of the delay.

19. Customer Support; Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

19.1 Support

You can report disputes regarding other users, report inappropriate behaviour in breach of the Community Guidelines or complain about User Content by contacting us. For assistance, please contact: support@hoppy.app.

19.2 Governing Law.

This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England & Wales.

19.3 Dispute Resolution.

If we cannot resolve your dispute through our customer service channels, the following applies depending on where you usually live:

1. U.S. Users - Arbitration Agreement; Class Action and Jury Waiver

   If you usually live in the U.S., final and binding arbitration on an individual basis shall be the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of the App, Services or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any claim by Hoppy for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in this Agreement or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under this Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).

   Arbitration under his Agreement shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). For claims of less than or equal to $75,000 (exclusive of attorney's fees, costs, and alleged punitive damages or penalties), the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at https://www.adr.org. Any Notice of Arbitration should be mailed to us at the following address: support@hoppy.app.

   TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT THE RIGHT FOR ANY DISPUTES TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF OTHERS.

   Disputes may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

   In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction without a jury and not in arbitration.

   By agreeing to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury, and review of an arbitrator's decision is very limited. WE BOTH FURTHER AGREE THAT, WHETHER A CLAIM WILL BE RESOLVED IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, THE PARTIES BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.

   However, to the extent permitted by law, no action arising out of this Agreement or your use of the Services, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose).

2. Users outside the U.S. - Legal Proceedings; Arbitration

   If you usually live outside the U.S. and you are a consumer, you may bring legal proceedings in your local courts or in the courts of England.

   In addition, if you are a consumer and live in the European Economic Area, you may also submit your dispute for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.

   Otherwise, unless you are a non-consumer living in Russia, the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with these rules or their subject matter or formation.

   If you are a non-consumer living in Russia, all disputes arising out of or in connection with these rules or their subject matter or formation shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the said Rules. The number of arbitrator(s) shall be one. The language of arbitration shall be English. The place of arbitration shall be London, UK. The parties agree, pursuant to Article 30(2)(b) of the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, that the Expedited Procedure Rules shall apply, provided the amount in dispute does not exceed GBP £100,000 at the time of the communication referred to in Article 1(3) of the Expedited Procedure Rules.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter Notice.

21. Miscellaneous.

21.1 Final Agreement; Severability; Survival; Waiver; Third Party Rights.

To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement and any applicable Additional Terms contain the entire understanding and agreement between you and Hoppy concerning the Services and supersede any and all prior or inconsistent understandings relating to the Services and your use thereof. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this will not affect any other provisions and this Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws. Any provision which must survive in order to allow us to enforce its meaning will survive the termination of this Agreement. The failure of Hoppy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision so if we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under this Agreement, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of you breaching this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. Nothing in the Agreement shall confer or purport to confer on any other party, any benefit or the right to enforce any term of the Agreement (whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise).

21.2. Languages.

This Agreement is written in English. Any translated version is provided solely for your convenience. To the extent any translated version of this Agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

21.3 Notice.

Where we require that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing us with your most current email address. In the event that the last email address you provided to us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices under this Agreement, our "sent" email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Hoppy at the following address: support@hoppy.app. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by us at the above address.

21.4 Assignment.

This Agreement, and any rights, licenses and privileges granted in it, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be freely assigned or transferred by Hoppy without restriction, notice or other obligation to you. If you are unhappy with such transfer by Hoppy, you may terminate your use of or registration for the Services by closing your User Account in accordance with our then-applicable requirements.
