Last updated: July 16, 2026

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS; ELIGIBILITY

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Novelty Technologies, LLC, doing business as The Recipe Society, a company registered in Georgia, United States at 11720 Amber Park Dr, Ste 160 PMB 1056, Alpharetta, GA 30009 ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of The Recipe Society mobile applications, the website https://therecipesociety.com, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement, Disclaimer, and Acceptable Use Policy (including its Community Guidelines), each of which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older, that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that you are not barred from using the Services under the laws of your jurisdiction. The Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit persons under 18 to use them.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Services or by other reasonable means and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services.

Your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@therecipesociety.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your account that is not caused by us.

2. THE SERVICES; LICENSE GRANT

The Services provide nutrition tracking, meal and recipe tools, meal planning, optional integration with your device's health platform, artificial-intelligence-assisted features, and social and community features. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Services on a device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You may not, and may not permit anyone else to: (a) copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Services; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Services, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Services; (d) remove or alter any proprietary notices; (e) use the Services to build a competing product; (f) access the Services through automated means (bots, scrapers) except as we expressly permit; or (g) use the Services or any content we provide (excluding your own User Content) for text- or data-mining, or to develop, train, fine-tune, or improve any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, whether directly or through a third party.

We do not guarantee that the Services will be available at all times, uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We may impose reasonable usage limits to maintain service quality. Pre-launch and roadmap descriptions are estimates, not commitments, and scheduled maintenance and outages do not constitute a breach of these Terms.

3. SUBSCRIPTIONS, FREE TRIAL, AND BILLING

Subscription required. Use of the Services requires an active paid subscription. New users may be offered a 7-day free trial. There is no free tier.

Free trial. If you start a 7-day free trial, you will not be charged during the trial period. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription and your payment method on file with the applicable app store will be charged the then-current price for the plan you selected. Only one trial is available per user; eligibility is determined by the app stores.

Billing and auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period for the plan you select at purchase, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your app store account is charged for renewal by the applicable app store on its schedule (typically within the 24-hour period before the current period ends), at the then-current price for your plan.

Pricing and payment. Prices are displayed in the app at the point of purchase and are set and charged through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, not by us. We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Prices may change; notice of price changes is given as required by the applicable app store and by law, and price changes generally take effect no earlier than your next renewal, as determined by the applicable app store. We do not guarantee that a subscription purchased through one app store will be usable on a device served by a different app store.

Managing and cancelling. You manage and cancel your subscription through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account settings, not through us. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then. Deleting your account or uninstalling the app does NOT cancel your subscription — you must cancel through the app store to stop future charges.

Refunds. Except where required by law or by the applicable app store's policies, subscription fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused time, or features not used. Refund requests for app-store purchases are handled under the Apple App Store or Google Play Store refund policies; we do not process refunds directly. Initiating a payment chargeback instead of using the applicable app store's refund process may be treated as a violation of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of your account.

Effect of lapse. If your subscription lapses, your account and content remain stored under our standard retention schedule described in our Privacy Policy and become accessible again upon renewal. You may export or delete your data, submit privacy requests, and delete your account at any time using the controls in Settings, which remain available regardless of subscription status.

4. HEALTH, NUTRITION, AND FITNESS DISCLAIMER

Not medical advice. The Services — including all nutrition information, calorie and macronutrient calculations, meal plans, weight and fasting tracking, fitness data, and AI-generated recommendations — are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They are not medical advice and do not constitute the practice of medicine, dietetics, or any licensed profession.

No professional relationship; consult a professional. Use of the Services does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, or other professional relationship. You should consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing any diet, exercise program, fasting regimen, supplement, or medication, and before relying on any information from the Services.

No diagnosis or treatment. The Services do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Do not use the Services for medical emergencies.

No reliance. Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of information provided by the Services. Reliance on any information provided through the Services is solely at your own risk.

Assumption of risk. You acknowledge that dietary changes, fasting, and exercise activities carry inherent risks, which may include risk of illness, bodily injury, or death, and to the maximum extent permitted by law you assume those risks when you choose to engage in them.

Special populations. If you are pregnant or nursing, have or suspect an eating disorder, have a chronic medical condition, or are under medical supervision for dietary needs, consult your healthcare provider before using the Services.

Third-party and estimated data. Nutrition values, barcode results, and food-database information are drawn from public reference databases, third-party sources, user submissions, and automated estimation. We do not verify or guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or timeliness, and you should verify information before relying on it for any health-critical purpose. WE DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO FOOD SAFETY, ALLERGENS, AND INTERACTIONS OR CONTRAINDICATIONS BETWEEN FOODS AND MEDICATIONS.

Food safety. Recipes and meal-preparation guidance may not include complete food-safety instructions. You are responsible for safe food handling, storage, and cooking. When in doubt, consult authoritative sources such as the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (fsis.usda.gov) or the FDA (fda.gov). We are not liable for foodborne illness or injury resulting from your preparation or consumption of meals based on the Services.

5. AI-POWERED FEATURES

Some features use artificial intelligence and automated processing, including an AI nutrition assistant, AI meal planning, AI recipe generation and improvement suggestions, photo-based food and item recognition, and automated content moderation. AI features are optional and can be controlled in Settings.

AI outputs are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate despite our safety measures. AI outputs are not medical, dietary, or professional advice. You are responsible for evaluating and verifying AI outputs before relying on them. We do not guarantee any particular result and are not liable for outcomes arising from your use of AI outputs.

When you use AI features, the content you submit (such as chat messages, prompts, and photos you choose to provide) is processed by our third-party AI provider on a per-request basis under that provider's terms, subject to a data-processing agreement that prohibits using your prompts to train the provider's models. Details are described in our Privacy Policy.

6. USER CONTENT AND COMMUNITY

The Services let you create and share content, including recipes, photos, comments, posts, messages, group content, and profile information ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content.

License to us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), publish, and distribute your User Content solely to operate, provide, and promote the Services. This license ends when you delete your User Content or your account, except: (a) for contributions you made into other users' threads or shared spaces (such as messages), which may persist in anonymized form to preserve continuity for those users; and (b) for copies retained in routine backups or in a soft-delete tier until purged on our standard schedule, or as required by law.

License to other users. If you make User Content available to other users through the Services — publicly (such as public recipes) or through sharing and collaboration features (such as follower or subscriber access, shared plans, shared shopping carts, and group threads) — you grant each user who receives that content a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to view it within the Services and to use it through the features the Services provide (such as saving, favoriting, and making an editable personal copy), for personal, non-commercial purposes only. This license does not permit anyone to sell or commercially redistribute your content. Copies that other users made through these features while your content was available to them may persist after you delete it or stop sharing it.

Your responsibilities and warranty. You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent and warrant that you have the rights necessary to submit it and to grant the license above, and that it does not violate these Terms, any law, or any third party's rights.

Community guidelines and moderation. You must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, including the Community Guidelines it contains. We do not proactively monitor User Content and assume no duty to monitor, although content may pass through automated screening at submission; we are not responsible for User Content posted by users. We may, but are not obligated to, review, moderate, restrict, remove, or refuse User Content, and we may use automated tools and human review to enforce those guidelines. We are not liable for disputes, damages, or harm arising between users or from User Content. We may access User Content where reasonably necessary to operate the Services, comply with law, or investigate reported violations.

Reviews. If you post reviews or ratings, they must reflect your genuine, firsthand experience, must not be false or misleading, and must comply with the review guidelines in our Acceptable Use Policy.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or obligation to you.

7. MULTI-PROFILE AND PROFESSIONAL FEATURES

Household profiles. You may create additional profiles under your account for other adults in your household. Household profiles are for adults only; you may not create a profile for anyone under 18. By creating a profile for another person, you represent that they are 18 or older and that you have their authority to provide their information and to accept these Terms on their behalf, and you are responsible for the accuracy of that information.

Nutrition professionals. If you connect with a nutrition professional through the Services, you authorize the sharing of the specific goal-record information described in our Privacy Policy with that professional for as long as the relationship is active. Nutrition professionals are independent third parties; we do not employ, supervise, endorse, or verify their credentials, advice, or conduct, and we are not responsible for the services they provide. Any professional relationship is solely between you and the professional.

If you act as a nutrition professional. If you offer services as a nutrition professional through the Services, you represent and warrant that you hold, and will maintain, the qualifications, certifications, licenses, or registrations required by applicable law for the services you provide; that you will comply with the laws and professional rules governing your practice, including scope-of-practice and advertising rules; and that you are solely responsible for the advice and services you provide. We may suspend or remove professional features from any account at our discretion.

8. ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to: (a) use the Services in violation of any law or these Terms; (b) post or transmit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually exploitative, or that promotes self-harm, disordered eating, or violence; (c) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation, including misrepresenting yourself as a healthcare professional; (d) upload malware or interfere with, disrupt, or overload the Services or their security; (e) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data; (f) harvest or scrape data or other users' information; (g) use the Services to send spam or unsolicited communications; (h) circumvent usage limits, access controls, or subscription requirements, including by creating multiple accounts to abuse free trials or evade enforcement; (i) share your account credentials or transfer your account; or (j) use the Services to develop a competing product.

Additional rules, including community and content standards, appear in our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. We may investigate and take appropriate action, including removing content and suspending or terminating accounts, for any violation.

9. CRISIS RESOURCES AND SAFETY

The Services are not a crisis or emergency service and are not a substitute for professional mental-health support. If you or someone you know may be in danger or crisis, contact your local emergency number, or in the United States call or text 988 (the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line), or contact the National Eating Disorders Association helpline. These resources are available in the app and remain accessible regardless of subscription status. Any automated safety detection we provide is limited, may not identify every situation, and is not a substitute for professional care.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Services, including all software, text, graphics, logos, designs, and other content we provide (excluding User Content), and all intellectual property rights in them, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. "The Recipe Society," "Novelty Technologies," and associated logos are our marks and may not be used without our prior written permission. Third-party names and marks are the property of their respective owners.

11. COPYRIGHT AND DMCA

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) to our designated agent:

Novelty Technologies, LLC Attn: Copyright Agent 11720 Amber Park Dr, Ste 160 PMB 1056 Alpharetta, GA 30009, United States Email: contact@noveltytechnologies.us

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) to the same agent. Submitting a knowingly false notice or counter-notice may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f).

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content and maintain a repeat-infringer policy under which we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, as further described in our Privacy Policy's DMCA provisions.

12. TERMINATION

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time through Settings. In-app account deletion deactivates your account and schedules permanent deletion after an approximately 30-day reactivation window; signing back in before the window ends cancels the deletion. Deleting your account does not cancel any subscription; you must cancel through the applicable app store.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy (including its Community Guidelines), are a repeat copyright infringer, engage in fraud, abuse, or illegal activity, create risk or legal exposure for us or others, or for failure to pay applicable fees. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any feature at any time.

If we terminate your account for cause, you may not create a new account without our prior written consent. Upon termination, your license to use the Services ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and the general provisions — survive. Termination does not waive any claims we have for prior breaches, and does not entitle you to a refund except as required by law or app-store policy.

13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL USER CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING NUTRITION, HEALTH, OR AI-GENERATED CONTENT) IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICES CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).

THESE LIMITATIONS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN SUCH CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW, INCLUDING FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or any law; (d) your violation of any third party's rights; or (e) information you provide about, or a profile you create for, another person. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS-ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or a small-claims case, you agree to first contact us at contact@noveltytechnologies.us with a written description of the dispute, the email associated with your account, and the relief you seek, and give us 60 days to resolve it in good faith. Completing this informal process is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or a small-claims case, and any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled while the process is pending.

Binding arbitration. Except for the excluded disputes below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, if the AAA is unavailable, by another nationally recognized arbitration provider under its consumer arbitration rules), rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitrator decides all issues, except that a court decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver below. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class-action and jury waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Mass arbitration. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the coordination or assistance of the same or coordinated counsel or organizations, the demands will be resolved in staged proceedings to promote efficiency: first, each side may select up to 15 demands to proceed as an initial bellwether stage, while the remaining demands are held in abeyance and no filing or arbitration fees are assessed for a demand until it is selected to proceed. After the initial stage concludes, the parties will participate in a global mediation of the remaining demands before a mediator whose fee we will pay; if demands remain unresolved, the staged process repeats in reasonably sized batches consistent with the arbitration provider's mass-arbitration or batch procedures. Applicable statutes of limitations are tolled for demands held in abeyance from our receipt of a compliant informal-resolution notice until the demand is selected to proceed, withdrawn, or resolved. If more than 300 similar demands remain unresolved after the initial bellwether stage and global mediation, either you or we may elect to have the remaining demands resolved by a court as described in the Governing Law and Venue section instead of by arbitration.

Excluded disputes. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or address unauthorized access or misuse of the Services.

Time limit on claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim accrued; otherwise, that claim is permanently barred. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law or to claims that cannot be shortened by agreement.

30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver section by sending written notice to contact@noveltytechnologies.us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in the section titled "Governing Law and Venue." Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms, and you will not face any negative consequences for opting out.

Severability of this section. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court, but the rest of this section still applies.

17. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, for arbitration, by the Federal Arbitration Act. For any dispute not subject to arbitration (or if the arbitration section is found unenforceable), you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Georgia, United States, and waive any objection to that venue. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence that cannot be waived by agreement.

18. APPLE AND GOOGLE APP STORE TERMS

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store: these Terms are between you and the Company only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. Apple is not responsible for any product warranties or for addressing any claims relating to the app (including product-liability, legal-compliance, or intellectual-property claims). Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list. To the extent the app's terms conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms, the Apple terms govern that conflict for App Store purchases.

If you obtained the app from the Google Play Store: your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and these Terms are between you and the Company only, not Google.

Our End User License Agreement contains additional license terms for the app, including the store operators' third-party-beneficiary rights.

19. CHANGES TO THE SERVICES AND TERMS

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any feature at any time, and may change these Terms as described in the section titled "Acceptance of Terms; Eligibility." We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services, except as required by law. Roadmap, pre-launch, and beta descriptions are estimates and not commitments.

20. FORCE MAJEURE

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action or changes in law, labor disputes, power or internet failures, cyberattacks, or outages or failures of third-party service providers, cloud infrastructure, app stores, or external data sources. Our obligations are suspended for the duration of the event, and we will make commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.

21. EXPORT CONTROL AND SANCTIONS

The Services are subject to U.S. export-control and sanctions laws, including the Export Administration Regulations and programs administered by the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). By using the Services, you represent that you are not located in, or a national or resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list, and that you will not use or export the Services in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws.

22. GOVERNMENT AND LAW-ENFORCEMENT REQUESTS

We may access, preserve, and disclose your information, including account and content data, when we reasonably believe it is required or permitted by law, legal process, or governmental request, or is necessary to enforce these Terms, investigate suspected violations, prevent fraud or security threats, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or the public. Where lawful and appropriate, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of a legal request. This is further described in our Privacy Policy.

23. USER DATA

We may perform periodic backups of data stored on our servers for our operational purposes, but you are responsible for maintaining your own copies of User Content that is important to you. Data held only on your device (as described in our Privacy Policy) is not backed up by us and may be lost if you uninstall the app or reset your device. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or corruption of data, and you waive any claim against us arising from such loss or corruption, except where caused by our willful misconduct or where liability cannot be excluded by law.

24. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

Using the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications from us, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED THROUGH THE SERVICES. You waive any rights under statutes, regulations, or other laws that require an original (non-electronic) signature or the delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the extent permitted by law.

25. CALIFORNIA USERS AND RESIDENTS

If any complaint with us is not satisfactorily resolved, you can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.

26. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the End User License Agreement, the Disclaimer, the Acceptable Use Policy (including its Community Guidelines), and any additional terms you agree to, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

No third-party beneficiaries. Except for Apple and Google as stated above, these Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.

Notices. We may provide notices to you through the Services or to your registered email. Legal notices to us must be sent to contact@noveltytechnologies.us and, where a physical address is required, to the address in the Copyright and DMCA section.

No joint venture. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship is created between you and us by these Terms or your use of the Services.

Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
