Account Fees. For certain types of Accounts, we may charge a fee, such as an Account fee or subscription fee. For existing subscribers, we may change your fee at the end of your subscription period. All fees are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes payable. We may offer promotional trial subscriptions to access the Services for free or at special discounted prices. If you sign up for a trial subscription, your rights to use the Services are limited by the terms of such trial and will terminate or renew according to the terms of your trial arrangement and/or any applicable Additional Terms. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds for existing subscribers in the event of a price drop or promotional offering for new subscribers.

Subscription Renewal. By activating an Account, you agree that we may renew your subscription automatically for the same subscription term on the day after your previous subscription ends, and you authorize us to charge you for the subscription term, unless you cancel your Account prior to its renewal date through the procedures described in the “Subscription Cancellation” section below. We will charge your credit card each year, month, or other applicable period for the applicable price.

Subscription Cancellation. Unless you purchased your subscription through Apple’s iTunes App Store, to cancel your subscription and avoid future billing, you may cancel your Account prior to its renewal date through the My Account section or by contacting us.

For all Accounts, you will continue to have access to your Account for the period that has already been prepaid. If you activated a paid Account at a discounted or promotional rate, chose to pay in installments, and then canceled that Account prior to all the installments having been paid, the period of time after the cancellation that your Account will continue to be accessible will be calculated based on the non-promotional/non-discounted rate in effect at the time of cancellation. After you cancel your Account, we will not charge you any subscription fees after the expiration of your then-current subscription. Please note we do not provide full or partial refunds for prepaid sums. In any event, you will be able to continue to use the Services throughout the remainder of the subscription period for which you have already paid.

Limitation of Liability

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THE SERVICES REMAINS WITH YOU AND IN NO EVENT SHALL APPY THERAPY LLC BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOST EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT APPY THERAPY LLC  IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Appy Therapy, its officers, directors, employees, successors, and service providers from and against all third party claims, actions, fines, losses, expenses, damages, and costs, fines or proceedings including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, arising or resulting from your intentional and willful breach of this Agreement or your unauthorized use or misuse of the Service, including infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights.

Access, Change, or Delete Personal Information
Users can review account information via the “My Account” page on the Service. You may change your password. If you would like to change any other account information, or would like to delete your account, please contact us at [email protected]. Please remember that if we delete your account, you will lose access to all content associated with your account. We may still store user personal information in our records if our retention policies require it, we need to retain information for internal business purposes, or deletion is technically infeasible.

Dispute resolution
We believe that any disputes we may have can be resolved between us. However, if we cannot resolve a dispute amicably, both parties agree to have the dispute resolved by final and binding arbitration. Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted by one arbitrator. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement and by the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, if applicable. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Company.

Please note: You are waiving your right to sue Appy Therapy in court. The dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator and not by a judge or a jury. The arbitration process is simpler than a court proceeding.  An award in arbitration is as enforceable as a court order and is subject to very limited review. 
This arbitration provision applies to all disputes, including all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, our Privacy Policy or your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. If you can demonstrate that the costs or arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Appy Therapy will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation. Appy Therapy also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration.
You and Appy Therapy agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless both we both 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 these arbitration provisions are deemed unenforceable, then the entirety of this section shall be null and void and the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in Rockville, Maryland shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. If the class proceeding waiver is deemed unenforceable, then the arbitration provisions as whole shall be deemed unenforceable.

General Provisions

We reserve the right to discontinue the Services or suspend or terminate your access to it, including any Accounts, Downloads and Content, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party.
