If you would like to use the App, you will have to download the App from the Apple App Store, the Android Store or any other app store where the App is available (collectively, the “App Store“) using your App Store or Google Play credentials. When you first login to use the App, we will assign you a unique username (“Username“). You represent and warrant that all login information you submit is truthful and accurate and you will maintain the accuracy of such information. Your Username can be used only by you. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your account and your Username, as well as for its use and misuse. You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate your account or your Username. We reserve the right to delete your account or Username at any time and for any reason. We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of your account or your Username.

Use of Personal Data

Your use of the App may involve the transmission to us of certain personally-identifiable information. Our policies with respect to the collection and use of such personally-identifiable information are governed according to our Privacy Policy (located at http://34.148.91.106/privacy-policy) which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BREAKING HITS® Intellectual Property

We own and will continue to own all right, title, and interest in and to (i) the App, including, without limitation, all source code, object code, operating instructions, and interfaces developed for or relating to the App; (ii) all modifications, enhancements, revisions, changes, copies, partial copies, translations, compilations, improvements, and derivative works of the foregoing, and all intellectual property rights therein; and (iii) any other content and materials available through the App and all intellectual property rights therein (collectively, the “BREAKING HITS® Content“). Except as expressly permitted in these Terms of Use, you have no rights in or to any BREAKING HITS® Content.

User Generated Content.

You may post and/or create content through the App (hereinafter, “User Generated Content”). We cannot and do not review it all–we merely act as a passive conduit for distribution of the User Generated Content to other users of the App. That said, we may remove User Generated Content that does not adhere to our Community Guidelines, or that is offensive or otherwise unacceptable to us in our sole discretion.

As between us and you, you retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in and to the User Generated Content. You warrant and represent that you either own, or have a sufficient license to, all User Generated Content provided through your account. You hereby grant us an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use your User Generated Content as reasonably necessary for us to provide you and other users with the App.

Remember, once you submit User Generated Content through the App, it may be accessible by other users, including any Personal Information included therein. Please carefully consider any User Generated Content that you submit through the App.

Virtual Currency

Virtual Coins
If you are a legal adult in your country of residence, you may “purchase” or “earn” Virtual Coins from the App Stores or third party providers (“Third Party Providers“) using real world money. All Virtual Coins purchased in this manner will be subject to the payment terms and conditions of the applicable App Store or Third Party Provider from whom you purchase or earn such Virtual Coins. We do not control how you can pay such third parties. Please review such third parties terms of service for additional information.

You may use Virtual Coins to purchase digital goods through the App (“Virtual Goods“).

We put the term “purchase” and “earn” in quotes, because you do not own the Virtual Coins or the Virtual Goods that are exchanged using the App. All right, titles, and interest in and to the Virtual Coins and Virtual Goods, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein, are held by BREAKING HITS®. When you “purchase” or “earn” an item, you have only been granted a limited license to use the Virtual Coins and/or the Virtual Good in the App’s virtual world.

Restrictions

Virtual Coins and Virtual Goods may never be redeemed or exchanged for real money, goods, services, or any other item of monetary value. Unless expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, any transfer or exchange of Virtual Coins, or Virtual Goods is strictly prohibited, and any attempt to do so, even outside the scope of the App, is a material breach of these Terms of Use and may result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

BREAKING HITS® has the right to regulate, modify, and/or eliminate Virtual Coins, and/or Virtual Goods in its sole and absolute discretion at any time and without notice to you. BREAKING HITS® shall have no liability in connection with the exercise of this right.

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ALL SALES AND PURCHASES OF VIRTUAL COINS AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS ARE FINAL, AND THAT NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES SHALL BE PERMITTED, EXCEPT IN OUR SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION.
