5. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS AND IN-APP PURCHASES

5.1 Pro Subscription. Access to the Pro related features requires an active paid subscription (“Pro Subscription”). Pro Subscriptions are offered on a subscription basis with the term and pricing as displayed within the App at the time of purchase. Comic Social reserves the right to modify subscription pricing at any time at Comic Social’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any price changes will not affect your current billing period. We will be honest and upfront with you if any subscription fee changes occur. If we change the pricing for your subscription, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of such change and such change will only take effect at the end of your current subscription period. Your continued use of the Pro Subscription after the price change takes effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified subscription amount.

5.2 Free Trial. Comic Social may, at its sole discretion, offer a free trial period for the Pro Subscription. Unless you cancel before the end of the free trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged the applicable subscription fee. Free trial eligibility is solely determined by Comic Social and the applicable App Store or payment platform and may be limited to one per User or device.

5.3 Billing and Renewal. All Pro Subscriptions are purchased exclusively through Apple In-App Purchases (for iOS) or Google Play In-App Purchases (for Android) (each, a “Payment Platform”). Comic Social is not the payment processor or merchant of record for any subscription transaction; Apple Inc. or Google LLC (as applicable) serves as the merchant of record. All billing and payment processing is handled entirely by the applicable Payment Platform, subject to the terms and conditions of such Payment Platform. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis depending on the plan selected in the App. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel auto-renewal at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the end of the current billing period. Apple or Google (as applicable) manages all subscription renewal and billing cycles.

5.4 Cancellation. You may cancel your Pro Subscription at any time. Because subscriptions are managed by Apple or Google (as applicable), cancellation must be performed through the subscription management settings on your device: via the Apple App Store (Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions) for iOS users, or via the Google Play Store (Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions) for Android users. Cancellation cannot be processed by Comic Social directly. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will retain access to Pro Subscription features until that date. Uninstalling the App does not cancel your subscription.

5.5 Refunds. Refunds are subject to Apple’s and Google’s applicable refund policies. Because Apple and Google serve as the merchant of record for all subscription transactions, all refund requests must be directed to the applicable Payment Platform in accordance with its refund policies. Comic Social does not process payments or refunds directly and is not responsible for the refund policies of any Payment Platform. For Apple, you may request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google, you may request a refund through the Google Play Store.

5.6 Platform Fees. You acknowledge that the applicable Payment Platform (Apple, Google, or otherwise) may charge platform fees, commissions, or transaction fees in connection with your subscription. Such fees are the sole responsibility of the applicable parties under their respective agreements and are not within Comic Social’s control.

5.7 Price Changes. Comic Social reserves the right to change subscription pricing at any time at Comic Social’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any price changes will not affect your current billing period. We will be honest and upfront with you if any subscription fee changes occur. If we change the pricing for your subscription, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of such change and such change will only take effect at the end of your current subscription period. Your continued use of the Pro Subscription after the price change takes effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified subscription amount.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Comic Social Parties from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, expenses, and costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content or any other content you submit, post, or transmit through the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or the rights of any third party; (e) any dispute between you and any third-party or other User; (f) your negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; or (g) any misrepresentation made by you.

Comic Social reserves the right, at your sole expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate fully with Comic Social in the defense of such matter. You shall not settle any claim subject to indemnification without Comic Social’s prior written consent.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.

16.1 Informal Resolution. As a condition precedent to initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, both you and Comic Social agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, Privacy Policy and any other agreements, policies, or guidelines expressly incorporated by reference (“Dispute”) informally. The party asserting the Dispute shall send written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute, including any supporting documentation. For notices to Comic Social, please send to: contact@comic-social.com. For notices to you, Comic Social will use the email address associated with your account. The receiving party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to respond to or attempt to resolve the Dispute. Neither party may initiate arbitration or court proceedings (if court proceedings are applicable) until this thirty (30) day period has expired.

16.2 Final and Binding Arbitration. If a Dispute cannot be resolved through the informal resolution process described above in Section 17.1, the Dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved by final and binding individual arbitration in accordance with with the rules or laws of the International Chamber of Commerce (I.C.C.).

You and Comic Social each expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including but not limited to the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the I.C.C. Rules. You may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, or other remote means, based on written submissions, or in person in Worcester, United Kingdom or at location mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses in connection with the arbitration, unless otherwise required by applicable law or as determined by the arbitrator pursuant to the I.C.C. Rules. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including but not limited to injunctive or declaratory relief, and must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Any arbitration proceedings shall be confidential, and neither party may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration except as required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.3 Class Action and Jury Waiver. YOU AND COMIC SOCIAL EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND COMIC SOCIAL EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND COMIC SOCIAL EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular Dispute, then the arbitration agreement in this Section shall be deemed void as to that Dispute, and such Dispute shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction as stated in Section 18.

16.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdiction as stated in Section 18 and consistent with any monetary limits that may apply, provided the claim is brought and maintained as an individual claim; and (b) either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction as stated in Section 18 to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information.

16.5 Statute of Limitations. You agree that any Dispute must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim arises; otherwise, such Dispute is permanently barred. This provision shall not modify any statutory limitation period that cannot be shortened by agreement under applicable law.

17. GOVERNING LAW. These Terms and any Dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales excluding any choice of law provisions that would require application of any other law and any dispute concerning it or its interpretation shall be adjudicated in that jurisdiction. To the extent any litigation is permitted under these Terms, you and Comic Social consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, and you waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
