BILLING AND CANCELLATION
1. Billing Cycle. The membership fee for the Service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date indicated on the "Account" link available at https://whappz.com/upgrade. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription that you choose when you signed up for the service. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, when you change your subscription plan or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in each month. Visit our website and click on the "Account" page to see your next payment date. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. If you signed up for the Service using your account with a third party as a Payment Method, you can find the billing information about your Whappz membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party.
2. Payment Methods. To use the Service, you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated to your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, Company may suspend your access to the Service until Company has successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
3. Updating your Payment Methods. You can update your Payment Methods by going to the "Account" page. Company may also update your Payment Methods using information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize Company to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s).
4. Cancellation. You can cancel your Whappz membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Premium Membership benefits through the end of your billing period. To cancel, go to the "Account" page on our website, click on the “Billing” link, and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your membership, your benefits will expire at the end of your current billing period. To see when your membership will expire, click "Billing” in the "Account" page. If you signed up for the Service using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your Whappz membership, you may need to do so through that third party, for example by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew or unsubscribing from the Service through that third party.
5. Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. Company reserves the right to change its subscription plans or adjust pricing for the Service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as Company may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following notice to you.
6. No Refunds. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used membership periods. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, Company may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all our members ("Credits"). The amount and form of such Credits, and the decision to provide them, are at Company’s sole and absolute discretion. The provision of Credits in one instance does not entitle you to Credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate Company to provide Credits in the future, under any circumstance.
PASSWORDS AND ACCOUNT ACCESS. The Member who created the Whappz account and, if applicable, whose Payment Method is charged (the "Account Owner"). is responsible for any activity that occurs through the Whappz account. To maintain control over the account and prevent anyone from accessing the account (which could include information on viewing history for the account), the Account Owner should maintain control over the Whappz Ready Device that is used to access the Service and not reveal the password or details of the Payment Method associated to the account to anyone. You are responsible for updating and maintaining the accuracy of the information you provide to Company relating to your account. Company can terminate your account or place your account on hold to protect you, Atypical Affinities, or our partners from identity theft or other fraudulent activity. Atypical Affinities is not obligated to credit or discount a membership for holds placed on the account by either a representative of Atypical Affinities or by the automated processes of the Service. If your Whappz Ready Device is sold, lost, or stolen, please deactivate the Whappz Ready Device. If you fail to log out or deactivate your device, subsequent users may access the Service through your account and may be able to access certain aspects of your account information.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
1. You and Atypical Affinities agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Service, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Atypical Affinities are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Whappz membership.
2. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to Atypical Affinities, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Atypical Affinities must be sent to [email protected] ("Notice Address"). If Atypical Affinities initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Atypical Affinities, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Atypical Affinities and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Atypical Affinities may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
3. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org.
4. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless Atypical Affinities and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in San Diego, CA. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.
5. If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the way the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
6. YOU AND ATYPICAL AFFINITIES 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 Atypical Affinities agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
MISCELLANEOUS
