Your Agreement to these TOS and Future Changes
These TOS are a legal agreement between you and HIPAHIPA. Our Service is licensed, not sold, to you by HIPAHIPA. 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.

We can always change our Service and/or TOS:
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 HIPAHIPA 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 HIPAHIPA and our licensors. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.
These TOS will govern any updates provided by HIPAHIPA 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 HIPAHIPA, and not with any mobile application store from which you downloaded an HIPAHIPA App (for example, the Apple App Store or Google Play), and that HIPAHIPA 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 HIPAHIPA or our licensors and protected by applicable copyright laws. Our Service may include registered and unregistered trademarks owned by or licensed to HIPAHIPA, which may not be copied, imitated or used, without the prior written permission of HIPAHIPA. You agree that you will not apply for, register, or otherwise use or attempt to use any HIPAHIPA trademarks or HIPAHIPA 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 HIPAHIPA App (or after you make a purchase through an HIPAHIPA 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.
HIPAHIPA is committed to protecting your privacy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect from you and how that information is used. By using our Service, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.

We may require you to provide additional information and/or documents at the request of any competent authority or in connection with any applicable law or regulation, including without limitation laws related to anti-money-laundering. HIPAHIPA may also require you to provide additional information and documents in cases where we have reason to believe that: (a) you are using our Service (or any portion thereof) for money-laundering or for any other illegal activity; (b) you have concealed or reported false identification information and/or other details; and/or (c) transactions by you were effected in breach of these TOS. In such cases, HIPAHIPA, in its sole discretion, may (d) revoke any rights granted to you by HIPAHIPA hereunder; or (e) pause or cancel your transactions until such additional information and documents are reviewed by us and accepted as satisfying the requirements of applicable law.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
You may opt out of arbitration within a limited period. Please see “Opt-Out Right” below.

Unless you and HIPAHIPA otherwise agree in writing, the time for informal negotiation will be sixty (60) days from the date on which you or HIPAHIPA provides written notice of the Dispute. You and HIPAHIPA 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.

The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party.

ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES MAY ENFORCE THE ARBITRATOR'S AWARD. Nothing herein will prevent HIPAHIPA or you from pursuing a claim in small claims court with applicable jurisdiction.
Limitation. You and HIPAHIPA agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between HIPAHIPA and you individually. YOU AND HIPAHIPA 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 HIPAHIPA 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 HIPAHIPA 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.
