6. PAID SERVICE

a. Purchase and Payment

Tophy allow users to use certain features on Tophy in exchange for fees, as applicable to the relevant features or content. Tophy does not transmit any funds and is not a money-services business. To the extent such functionality is made available in the Services, it is provided by an unaffiliated third party, and like any other third-party service, subject to that third party’s separate Terms of Service.
Tophy offers in-app purchases (“IAP”) through Apple Store, Google Play or other application platforms authorized by Tophy. If you choose to make an IAP, you will be prompted to enter details for your account with your application platform, and your application platform account will be charged for the IAP in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase as well as the general terms for IAP that apply to your application platform account. Some application platforms may charge you sales tax, depending on where you live.
All purchases are final and nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, except if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for refunds. For subscribers residing in the EU or European Economic Area, in accordance with local law, you are entitled to a full refund during the 14 days after the subscription begins. Please note that this 14-day period commences when the subscription starts. Your rights regarding payment policy and refunds, when purchases of subscriptions are handled by Apple or Google, can be found in the respective payment policies of Tophy’s application providers.

b. Subscription, Renewal and Cancellation

Tophy may offer certain ancillary products and services in connection with the Services on a subscription basis (“Subscription Services”) as disclosed to you when you subscribe to any Subscription Service. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period. For Subscription Services that renew automatically, you agree that we are authorized to charge you for payment on a recurring basis prior to each renewal. You also agree that your Subscription Service will renew continuously for the agreed subscription time period until you cancel it.
If you have an account set up for recurring billing, you may cancel your subscription at any time. To cancel the subscription, you can follow the procedure to turn off auto-renew in your personal account settings in the mobile app. Subscriptions can only be canceled on the same platform they were bought on. Cancellations of your subscription will be effective for the following billing period in which payment is due. You will not receive a refund for any payment amount, even if payment was made for multiple billing periods. Deleting the app or your account is not enough to cancel the subscription.

c. Coins, Credits and Users Transactions

Along with the subscription, Tophy provides various friends making Services, available as IAP that will give certain advantages and improve experience. Users are able to purchase Coins that may be used to acquire personal license to use virtual titles, gifts, or any other units that are provided by Tophy on the platform (collectively, “Virtual Goods”). Coins are not real money, do not have monetary value, and may never be redeemed for “real world” money, or other items of monetary value from outside the Services without our written permission.
The Coins can be exchanged with another user for any other advanced features within the App (“Users Transactions”). In return, another user will receive Credits in the his/her Tophy account. Every User can always see the balance of Credits in the Tophy account. All Users Transactions are contracts between users. Although we facilitate Users Transactions by providing the transaction platform, we are not a party to the contract between users or any other contract which may exist between users, and are not responsible for any Users Transaction. It is necessary to first exchange Credits for Coins for the purpose to acquire any Virtual Goods.
We reserve the right, without prior notification, to limit the quantity of Credits, Coins or other Virtual Goods and to refuse to provide you with any Virtual Goods. Price, exchangeability, exchange rate, and availability of Credits, Coins or other Virtual Goods are determined by us in our sole discretion and are subject to change without notice. You agree that we have the absolute right to manage, distribute, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate any Virtual Goods as we see fit in our sole discretion, and that we will have no liability for exercising such right. You agree that under no circumstances are we liable to you for any damages or claims that may arise from the loss or use of your Virtual Goods regardless of the circumstances.

d. Credits Redemption

Your Tophy account will be updated within a reasonable time with the Credits balance. The Credits balance may be redeemed for Lovense products, pre-paid gift cards, or withdrawn as cash. In the case of a cash withdrawal, all payments will be facilitated through a third-party payment provider approved by us after the deduction of any commission and/or fees that maybe charged by Tophy and/or third-party payment provider. We may withhold all or any part of the balance due to you but not yet paid out:
(a) if we determine that you have seriously or repeatedly violated any aspect of the service terms;
(b) if you attempt or threaten to violate any aspect of the service terms, and we believe that such behavior has serious consequences for us or another user (including actual or potential losses suffered by us or another user);
(c) if we suspect that all or part of the balance originates from illegal or fraudulent activity, regardless of whether it was initiated by you or the user who made the payment resulting in the balance

e. Taxes

“Taxes” mean any duties, statutory levies, withholding taxes, indirect taxes or any other taxes associated with the use of any Paid Service, including any related penalties or interest.
You are responsible for any Taxes and must pay for Paid Service without any reduction for Taxes. If we are obligated to collect or pay Taxes in connection with the Paid Services, the Taxes will be charged to you. You must comply with any and all applicable tax laws, including the reporting and payment of any Taxes arising in connection with your subscription of Paid Services.

7. DATA CHARGES

11. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION, WAIVER OF LITIGATION PROCEEDINGS

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND Longdistance TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH ARBITRATION.
a. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The applicable law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be one.
