You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless applicable laws prohibit these restrictions or you have our written permission to do so.
3. Rights You Grant Us
Many of our Services let you create, upload, post, send, receive, and store content. When you do that, you retain whatever ownership rights in that content you had to begin with. But you grant us a license to use that content. How broad that license is depends on which Services you use and the Settings you have selected.
For all Services, you grant Chat Match a worldwide, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, and distribute that content. This license is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, promoting, and improving the Services and researching and developing new ones.
Because Local is inherently public and chronicle matters of public interest, the license you grant us for content submitted to those Services is broader. In addition to the rights you grant us in connection with other Services, you also grant us a perpetual license to create derivative works from, promote, exhibit, broadcast, syndicate, publicly perform, and publicly display content submitted to Local or any other crowd-sourced Services in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). To the extent it's necessary, you also grant Chat Match and our business partners the unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual right and license to use your name, likeness, Local content that you upload or send. This means, among other things, that you will not be entitled to any compensation from Chat Match or our business partners if your name, likeness or Local.
While we're not required to do so, we may access, review, screen, and delete your content at any time and for any reason, including if we think your content violates these Terms. You alone though remain responsible for the content you create, upload, post, send, or store through the Service.
The Services may contain advertisements. In consideration for Chat Match letting you access and use the Services, you agree that Chat Match, its affiliates, and third-party partners may place advertising on the Services.
We always love to hear from our users. But if you volunteer feedback or suggestions, just know that we can use your ideas without compensating you.
4. The Content of Others
Much of the content on our Services is produced by users, publishers, and other third parties. Whether that content is posted publicly or sent privately, the content is the sole responsibility of the person or organization that submitted it. Although Chat Match to the best of our resources and abilities will review all content that appears on the Services and to remove any content that violates these Terms, we cannot—and do not—take responsibility for any content that others provide through the Services.
Through these Terms, we make clear that we do not want the Services put to bad uses. But because we may not have the ability and resource to review every single piece of content on the Services, we cannot guarantee that content on the Services will always conform to our Terms.
We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any content contributed by users or endorse any of the opinions expressed therein. You agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against us with respect thereto. You acknowledge that any reliance on User Contributed Content of any Chat Match user will be at your own risk.

You must also respect Chat Match's rights. These Terms do not grant you any right to:

In short: You may not use the Services or the content on the Services in ways that are not authorized by these Terms. Nor may you help or enable anyone else in doing so.
We reserve the right at all times (but will not have an obligation) to permanently ban any accounts found to be in violation of our Terms with at any time, and to remove or refuse to distribute any content contributed by Chat Match users, such as content which violates these Terms of Service.

Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any content or communications, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any form of User Contributed Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Chat Match content or content posted by users which are posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available on the Service.
7. Respecting Copyright
You agree to only upload, post, submit or otherwise transmit User Contributed Content: (i) that you have the lawful right to use, copy, distribute, transmit, or display; and (ii) that does not infringe the intellectual property rights or violate the privacy rights of any third party (including, without limitation, copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property right, or moral right or right of publicity). Chat Match respects the legal rights of others, and asks that its users do the same.
Chat Match honors the requirements set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We therefore take reasonable steps to expeditiously remove from our Services any infringing material that we become aware of. And if Chat Match becomes aware that one of its users has repeatedly infringed copyrights, we will take reasonable steps within our power to terminate the user's account.

8. Safety
We try hard to keep our Services a safe place for all users. But we can't guarantee it. That's where you come in. By using the Services, you agree that:
• You will not use the Services for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited in these Terms.
• You will not use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, or other automated means or interface to access the Services or extract other user's information.
• You will not use or develop any third-party applications that interact with the Services or other users' content or information without our written consent.
• You will not use the Services in a way that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect, or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Services, or that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the functioning of the Services.
• You will not use or attempt to use another user's account, username, or password without their permission.
• You will not solicit login credentials from another user.
• You will not post content that contains pornography, graphic violence, threats, hate speech, guns or other weaponry, or incitements to violence.

We have the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of the above, including intellectual property rights infringement and App security issues, to the fullest extent of the law. We will also fiercely honor and assist any legal investigations requested by any parties of the law enforcement agencies. We may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Chat Match users who violate these Terms of Service. You acknowledge that we have the right to monitor your access to or use the Service for operating purposes, to ensure your compliance with these Terms of Service, or to comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body.
We also care about your safety while using our Services. So do not use our Services in a way that would distract you from obeying traffic or safety laws. And never put yourself or others in harm's way.
9. Your Account
You are responsible for any activity that occurs in your account. So it's important that you keep your account secure. One way to do that is to select a strong password that you don't use for any other account.
By using the Services, you agree that, in addition to exercising common sense:
• You will not create more than one account for yourself.
• You will not create another account if we have already disabled your account, unless you have our written permission to do so.
• You will not buy, sell, rent, or lease access to your Chat Match account without our written permission.
• You will not share your password.
• You will not log in or attempt to access the Services through unauthorized third-party applications or clients.
10. Purchases and Payments
We may offer various friends making Services that you can purchase and use through the Services. You don't own these Services; instead you buy enough virtual coins to use them. You'll always be shown the price for Services before you complete a purchase. But Chat Match does not handle payments or payment processing for any purchases; those are handled by third-party payment providers or service providers. Some third-party service providers may charge you sales tax, depending on where you live. Please check the third-party service provider's relevant terms for details.
Subject to any applicable additional terms and conditions, all purchases are final and non-refundable. And because our performance begins once you tap buy and we give you immediate access to your purchase, you waive any right you may have under EU or other local law to cancel your purchase once it's completed or to get a refund. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE THAT Chat Match IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON.
Some of the Virtual Products we offer are for one-time use only, while others are for repeated use. But please note that "repeated" does not mean "forever." We may change, modify, or eliminate Virtual Products at any time, with or without notice. You agree that we will bear no liability to you or any third party if we do so. If we suspend or terminate your account, you will lose any Products you purchased through the Services.
It's your sole responsibility to manage your purchases.
Chat Match does not transmit any funds and is not a money-services business. To the extent such functionality is made available in the Services, it is provided by an unaffiliated third party, and like any other third-party service, subject to that third party's separate Terms of Service.
11. Coins
In order to reward Users for certain activities, CHAT MATCH may give you the opportunity to earn, and use credits in CHAT MATCH’s in-app virtual currency (“Coins”) that may be used to acquire virtual goods and services solely with the Services. Coins are not real money, do not have monetary value, and may never be redeemed for “real world” money, or other items of monetary value from outside the Services without our written permission. While we may use terms like “earn”, “trade-in”, or “cash-out” in reference to the Coins, we do so only for convenience and such terms in no way indicate that Coins have monetary value or are real money. You acknowledge that Coins are not real currency and are not redeemable for any sum of money from us at any time.We make no guarantee as to the nature, quality, or value of the features of the Services or any third-party good or services that will be accessible through the use of Coins, or the availability or supply of Coins. Coins obtained via the Services are provided to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license to use within the Services.
Coins may not be transferred to other accounts or resold in any manner, including, without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. You have no property interest, right or title in or to any Coins appearing or originating in the Services or any other attributes associated with use of the Services. Any “virtual currency” balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. All Coins are forfeited if your account or access to the Services is terminated or suspended for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion, or if we discontinue availability of some or all of the Services. We may at any time expire free or promotional Coins given to you. We have no liability for hacking or loss of your Coins or any goods or services obtained using Coins. We have no obligation to, and will not, reimburse you for any Coins that are lost due to your violation of these Terms. We reserve the right, without prior notification, to limit the quantity of Coins and to refuse to provide you with any Coins. Price, exchangeability and availability of Coins are determined by us in our sole discretion and are subject to change without notice. You agree that we have the absolute right to manage, distribute, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate Coins as we see fit in our sole discretion, and that we will have no liability for exercising such right. You agree that under no circumstances are we liable to you for any damages or claims that may arise from the loss or use of your Coins regardless of the circumstances.
User inactivity - Inactivity is based on logging in. If your account remains inactive for three( 3 )consecutive months, all of your virtual Coins(including free and paid virtual Coins) may be frozen. If you have any requests, you can email us at [[email protected]] . Upon receiving of your request and reviewing of your information, we will solve your request as soon as possible.
You absolve us of any responsibility to maintain or update your account Coins balance. However, if there is a loss of Coins in your account due to technical or operational problems with the Services, we will refund the lost Coins once the loss has been verified. Without limiting any of the foregoing, our maximum liability or responsibility to you is to refund the Coins lost. You may from time to time be presented with opportunities to redeem Coins. We will, in our sole discretion, determine and communicate the availability and exchange rate for any Coins, which may be modified at any time. We reserve the right to cancel, restrict or terminate Coins at any time for any reason. All redemptions are subject to these Terms and all limitations and requirements stated via the Services. All acquisitions and redemptions of Coins are final. Once Coins have been lost or spent, they will be subtracted from your account and cannot be refunded or returned, except in our sole discretion.
12. Data Charges and Mobile Phones
You are responsible for any mobile charges that you may incur for using our Services, including text-messaging and data charges. If you're unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your service provider before using the Services.
13. Third-Party Services
If you use a service, feature, or functionality that is operated by a third party and made available through our Services (including Services we jointly offer with the third party), each party's terms will govern the respective party's relationship with you. Chat Match is not responsible or liable for those third party's terms or actions taken under the third party's terms.
14. Modifying the Services and Termination
We're relentlessly improving our Services and creating new ones all the time. That means we may add or remove features, products, or functionalities, and we may also suspend or stop the Services altogether. We may take any of these actions at any time, and when we do, we may not provide you with any notice beforehand.
Chat Match may also terminate these Terms with you at any time, for any reason, and without advanced notice. That means that we may stop providing you with any Services, or impose new or additional limits on your ability to use the Services. For example, we may deactivate your account due to prolonged inactivity or inappropriate behavior, and we may reclaim your username at any time for any reason.
15. Indemnity
You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Chat Match, our directors, officers, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your content; and (c) your breach of these Terms.
16. Disclaimers

18. Arbitration, Class Waiver, and Jury Waiver
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH Chat Match, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
• Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Services that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Chat Match are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.
• Arbitration Rules. United States Arbitration Law governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the United States International Economic and Trade Arbitration ("USIETAC"). If the USIETAC is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms.
• Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
• Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Chat Match. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Chat Match.
• Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration.
• Confidentiality. No part of the procedures will be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order, or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information needed to enforce this arbitration agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
• Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.
• Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor Chat Match can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify Chat Match in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Chat Match username and the email address you used to set up your Chat Match account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement.
• Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Chat Match may bring an individual action in small claims court.
• Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Chat Match.
19. Choice of Law
Except to the extent they are preempted by the laws of the United States, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including tort claims.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
21. Additional Terms for Specific Services
terms and conditions for specific Services. Those additional terms and conditions, which will be available with the relevant Services, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services.
22. Final Terms
These Terms make up the entire agreement between you and Chat Match, and supersede any prior agreements.
These Terms do no create or confer any third-party beneficiary rights.
If we do not enforce a provision in these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver.
