Except as expressly permitted by these Terms and the terms applicable to the mobile application store where we make the applicable App available (each, a “App Marketplace”), you cannot: (a) rent, lease, lend, sell, distribute, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or make available the Products; or (b) copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, alter, mimic, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Products, any updates, content or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open source components included with the Products).

Purchases, Subscriptions, Promotional Codes, Auto Renewals, Changes to Fees and Withdrawal Right

We may offer free trials in our sole discretion. Upon installation or expiration of a free trial offer (if applicable), or a redeemed Virtual Item or Promotional Code, you will be charged the applicable subscription fees (if any) for your use of the Products. Upon expiration of the initial term of your subscription, whether such subscription is weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or otherwise, your subscription will automatically renew for recurring subscription periods of the same duration unless and until you affirmatively cancel your subscription. If you have purchased your subscription through the App, you can cancel your subscription or automatic renewals any time in your account settings with the App Marketplace according to the policies of each App Marketplace. Uninstalling a Product will not result in the cancellation of your subscription. If you have begun a subscription period and you then decide to cancel your subscription during such period, you will not receive a refund for the fees you already paid for such subscription period, and you will continue to be able to use the Products for which you subscribed until the end of such subscription period. We may change the applicable subscription fees at any time for justified or business reasons and the new fees will apply starting from the next subscription period. In such cases, we will inform you of the new fees with reasonable notice via email or as a pop-up or push notification within the Products. If you do not agree with the new fees, you will have the statutory right to cancel your subscription following the instructions above. Changes to the subscription fees will not apply retroactively.

The Products may enable you to purchase a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use virtual items or in-app consumables (collectively, the “Virtual Items”), which could include virtual cards, tokens or other units that can be redeemed for additional features, enhancements, functionalities, content, or services within the Products. You are only allowed to purchase Virtual Items through the Products and you may only redeem or use Virtual Items through the Product in which the Virtual Items are purchased. We may manage, regulate, change, or remove Virtual Items at any time at our sole discretion. All consumable in-app purchases made through the Products and all Virtual Items (and all redemptions of Virtual Items) are final and non-refundable. You acknowledge that you will not receive any refund or compensation for unused Virtual Items when your access to the Products or your account (if any) is suspended or terminated for any reason.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, you may exercise your statutory right of withdrawal within 14 days of signing up for or upgrading to subscription in your account settings with the App Marketplace, according to the policies of each App Marketplace.

The validity of these Terms and the validity of any purchase associated with the Products will be considered independently from each other, meaning that the termination of such associated purchase will not affect the validity of these Terms, and the termination of these Terms may not affect the validity of such associated purchase.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of the Products is at your sole risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and conditions of merchantability, of satisfactory quality, and of fitness for a particular purpose.

No oral or written information or advice given by us or our authorized representatives will create a warranty.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold us, our affiliates, parent companies, officers, agents, employees, partners, licensors, contractors, permitted successors and permitted assigns (each of the foregoing, a “Indemnitee”) harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including, but not limited to, professional fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by any Indemnitee(s), to the extent directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from: (a) your User-Generated Content; (b) any breach of these Terms by you or any person accessing the Products using your account; (c) your access or use of the Products; (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; and (e) your violation of the rights of any third party, including, but not limited to, privacy, intellectual property or proprietary rights with respect to your use of the Products, performance of your obligations under these Terms, or exercise of rights granted to you under these Terms.

If we withdraw from this agreement, your current subscription period will terminate, and you will be eligible to receive a refund for the portion of the fees you have paid corresponding to the subscription period following our withdrawal.

We may terminate our agreement with you under these Terms with immediate effect if you breach one or more of sections “Eligibility”, “App End User License”, “Prohibited Uses”, “User-Generated Content”, and “Account”. If we terminate this agreement for breach, you will not receive a refund for the fees you already paid.

Upon expiration, termination, or cancellation of these Terms for any reason, all rights and obligations of both parties to these Terms, including all licenses granted under these Terms, will immediately terminate. The provisions of these Terms that are by their nature intended to survive termination or expiration of these Terms will survive.

Account

If the Product allows you or requires you to provide registration information and create an account, these Terms also govern your account. You state that you will provide only true, current and accurate information when you create your account or provide us with the required information, and that you meet the eligibility requirements under these Terms. You agree to update your registration information to keep it accurate and current.

We may ask you to confirm your registration information (such as your email address) to continue using the Product. If you choose not to do so, your access to the Product may be restricted or terminated.

When you choose a username or otherwise create a nickname, you agree not use any name that is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, harmful, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, offensive, threatening, hateful, violent, harassing, discriminatory or racist, or any name that infringes or violates another person’s rights (including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights, and rights of privacy and publicity). You agree not to impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person. You further agree not to purchase, sell, rent or give away your account.

You will not share your account or your registration information, and you will not let anyone else access your account. In the event you become aware of or reasonably suspect any breach of security, including any loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your registration information, you must immediately notify us and modify your registration information. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your registration information, and you will be responsible for all uses of your registration information, including purchases, whether or not authorized by you.

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, you are responsible for anything that happens through your account.

In accordance with section “Withdrawal and Termination”, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you are in violation of, or reasonably likely to be in violation of, one or more provisions of these Terms.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The laws of Italy, excluding its conflict of law provisions, will govern these Terms and your use of the Products. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, these Terms will not affect the mandatory laws and statutory consumer rights of your country of residence.

Any controversy or claim in relation to the application or interpretation of these Terms and arising out of your use of the Products will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Messina, Italy. If you are a consumer resident or domiciled in the European Union, you may submit your claim to the court of your place of residence or domicile.

General

We may issue any notice that is required or referenced in these Terms to you by (a) email, (b) posting notice to the Products, or (c) other legally accepted means. It is your responsibility to keep your information current to receive notifications and to check the Product regularly (for example, by opening the App once a month). Notices sent by email will be effective when we send the email, and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting. Electronic delivery of a notice will have the same legal effect as if we provided you with a physical copy.

You will not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms, or your rights and obligations under these Terms, without obtaining the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Splice, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void. We may assign these Terms, or any right set out in these Terms, in whole or in part, without your consent, to any person or entity at any time, on condition that the assignment does not diminish the protection of your rights.

Any failure by us to exercise or enforce any of our rights under these Terms does not waive our right to enforce such rights. Any waiver of such rights will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of us. The rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law.

If any provision, or part thereof, of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision, or the affected part thereof, will be deemed amended in order to achieve as closely as possible the same effect as originally drafted. Any invalid or unenforceable portion should be construed as narrowly as possible in order to give effect to as much of these Terms as possible. Any unaffected provision of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
