  10. In-App Purchases
    Automatic Renewal
    If you purchase an auto-renewing periodic subscription through the Service, your Addison account will be billed continuously for the subscription until you terminate it as set forth below. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically renew for an additional equivalent period. If you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your Addison account and follow instructions to terminate or change your subscription, even if you have deleted your account.
    In-App Items
    In the Service, you may purchase, with “real world” money, a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use (a) “virtual currency,” including but not limited to virtual gems, solely for use in the Service, and (b) “virtual in-app items” (together with “virtual currency,” “Virtual Items”). You are allowed to purchase Virtual Items through the Service, and not in any other way.
    Addison may manage, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate Virtual Items at any time, with or without notice. Addison may update the pricing of Virtual Items at any time in its sole discretion, and may add new Virtual Items for additional fees. Addison shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event that Addison exercises any such rights.
    The transfer of Virtual Items is prohibited except where expressly authorized in the Service. Other than as expressly authorized in the Service, you shall not sell, redeem or otherwise transfer Virtual Items to any person or entity, including but not limited to Company, another user, or any third party.
    Fees and Taxes
    You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using a Addison account registered to you. Addison may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.
    Student Plan
    Addison may offer a discounted annual subscription to students (“Student Plan”). Addison may change the terms of its Student Plan or discontinue its Student Plan at any time and in its sole discretion. Addison’s Student Plan currently is available for students attending an accredited, degree-granting institution in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United States (“Qualifying Students”). Students must be age 16 or older to participate.
    To sign up for the Student Plan, you must submit certain information sufficient to verify that you are a Qualifying Student. Addison will share this information with a third-party verification vendor, which is currently SheerID, Inc. (“SheerID”). SheerID will process this information in accordance with its privacy policy, available at https://www.sheerid.com/global-privacy-policy/, and confirm your student status. Addison reserves the right to make the final determination of your student status.
    You must re-verify your status as a Qualifying Student each year. Additionally, you may only be enrolled in a Student Plan for a maximum of four (4) years.
    If you do not successfully re-verify your status, or if you have reached your maximum eligibility period, or if Addison discontinues the Student Plan, your plan will automatically be renewed to a regular annual subscription plan at the then-current price on your renewal date, unless you cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
  11. Payment Processors
    All financial transactions made in connection with the Service will be processed by a third party in accordance with their respective terms of use, privacy policy, and/or any applicable payment terms and conditions. We encourage you to learn about the practices of such third party. In no event will Addison be responsible for the actions or inactions of any third party payment processor, including, but not limited to, system downtime or payment service outages.
  12. Refund Policy
    All payments are nonrefundable. There are no refunds or credits for Virtual Items or partially used membership periods. However, Addison may grant refunds or credits on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion. Addison’s grant of a refund or credit in one instance does not obligate Addison to provide a refund or credit in the future, under any circumstances. If you cancel your periodic subscription to a paid Addison service, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period.
  13. Third-Party Links, Sites, and Services
    The Service may contain links to third-party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by Addison. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party sites, information, materials, products, or services. If you access any third party website, service, or content from Addison, you understand that these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such sites. You expressly acknowledge and agree that Addison shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss arising from your use of any third-party website, service, or content.
    The Service may include advertisements, which may be targeted to the Content or information on the Service, or other information. The types and extent of advertising by Addison on the Service are subject to change. In consideration for Addison granting you access to and use of the Service, you agree that Addison and its third party providers and partners may place such advertising in connection with the display of content or information submitted by you or others.

Addison AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, ADDISON DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND RELATING TO ACCURACY, SERVICE AVAILABILITY, COMPLETENESS, INFORMATIONAL CONTENT, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED FROM USE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICE MAY BE UNAVAILABLE DURING PERIODS OF PEAK DEMAND, SYSTEM UPGRADES, MALFUNCTIONS OR SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE OR FOR OTHER REASONS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
  15. LIMITATION ON TYPES OF DAMAGES/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ADDISON BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ACCESS OR USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE LOSS OF USE OF THE SERVICE, INACCURATE RESULTS, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR DAMAGES STEMMING FROM LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE, THE COST OF RECOVERING ANY DATA, THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OR CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY DAMAGE TO COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, MODEMS, TELEPHONES OR OTHER PROPERTY, EVEN IF Addison HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THIS IS AN AGGREGATE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM HEREUNDER WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT.
    You understand and agree that we have set our prices and entered into these Terms and Conditions with you in reliance upon the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms and Conditions, which allocate risk between us and form the basis of a bargain between the parties.
  16. Termination
