4. Your Content & What We Can Do With It
You own the content you post on AM4M ("User Content"). However, you give AM4M a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, and share your User Content to provide and promote the Service.
You are fully responsible for your User Content and confirm that:
- You own the rights to it or have obtained the necessary permissions.
- It doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights or violate any laws.
We can remove any content that violates these Terms or our community standards.
5. Your Privacy
Your privacy is critically important to us. Our Privacy Policy (accessible within the app and on our website) details how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal data, including sensitive information you provide for profiling and matching purposes. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in our Privacy Policy. Please review it carefully.
6. Subscriptions & Payments
AM4M may offer both free and paid features. If you purchase a subscription or make in-app purchases:
- You authorize us and our third-party payment processors to charge your selected payment method for all applicable fees and taxes.
- All fees and charges are non-refundable, except where required by applicable law. For instance, residents of certain states, such as California (under California Civil Code §1789.17), may have specific cancellation rights which will be honored.
- We may change pricing, but we'll notify you in advance of any increases. Your continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new price.
- Subscriptions may automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your current billing period ends.
7. Ending Your Account (Termination)
By You: You may terminate your account at any time by accessing the "Settings" page within the app and following the "Delete Account" instructions. Your account will be deleted immediately, though it may take some time for your User Content to be completely removed from the Service's systems.
By AM4M: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, or remove any User Content, at our sole discretion, without notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to:
- Violation of these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or applicable law.
- If we believe your actions may cause legal liability for us or our users.
- If your account has been inactive for an extended period.
- For any other reason we deem appropriate to protect the integrity of the Service or its users.
Effect of Termination: Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Any active subscriptions will be cancelled, and generally, no refunds will be provided for any unused portion of a subscription period or for any features you have already been charged for, except as expressly required by law. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations under any active subscriptions or liabilities incurred prior to termination.
Appeals: If you believe we have made a mistake in taking action on your account or User Content (e.g., a ban or content removal), you may have the option to appeal our decision within a specified timeframe of six months through our support channels.
