Terms of Service

Welcome to CodeCircle!

We're so happy to have you here. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of CodeCircle and the software, content, and services (collectively, "Services") offered through our website, www.CodeCircle.org and its subdomains (the "Website"), our mobile apps CodeCircle for Android and CodeCircle for iOS (the "Apps").

Please read these terms carefully before you start using the Services.

1. OUR SERVICES

CodeCircle offers a personal chatbot service through a text and voice interface.

1.1. Medical disclaimer

CodeCircle is a provider of software and content designed to improve your health, wealth, and happiness. However, we are not a healthcare or medical device provider, nor should our Services be considered medical care, mental health services, or other professional services. Only your physician or other healthcare providers can do that. While there is third-party evidence from research that certain conversation techniques implemented in CodeCircle can assist in the recovery process for a wide array of conditions, CodeCircle makes no claims, representations, or guarantees that the Services provide a therapeutic benefit.

1.2. Emergencies

Use of the Services is not for emergencies. If you think you have a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest open clinic or emergency room.

If you are considering or committing suicide or feel that you are a danger to yourself or others, you must discontinue use of the Services immediately, call 911, or notify appropriate police or emergency medical personnel.

1.3. Modifications to the Services

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that CodeCircle will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Services.

2. MEMBERSHIP & SUBSCRIPTIONS

2.1. Becoming a member

You will be required to register ("create an account") with CodeCircle and become a CodeCircle Member to access and use the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration forms. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy.

2.2. Once a member

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify CodeCircle of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Services. CodeCircle will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

2.3. Your membership

As a CodeCircle Member, you will receive access to content, features, and functions of the Services that are not available to non-members.

By agreeing to become a Member, you opt-in to receive occasional special offers, marketing, survey, and Service-based communication emails. You can easily unsubscribe from CodeCircle commercial emails by following the opt-out instructions in these emails. CodeCircle memberships and subscriptions are not transferable and, therefore, cannot be sold, exchanged, or transferred in any way whatsoever.

2.4. Subscriptions

2.4.1. Choosing a subscription program

Once you become a CodeCircle Member, you can choose one of the subscription programs offered in CodeCircle:

• "Free Use": a free-of-charge program that gives limited access to the Services. The "Free Use" is aimed at users who cannot afford any of our subscription-fee-based programs. We reserve the right to deny the free use to anyone at any time at our discretion.
• "CodeCircle Pro": a subscription-fee-based program that gives full access to the Services.

You can become a subscriber to a paid subscription program (b) or (the "Paid Subscriptions") by purchasing a subscription to the Services within the Apps, where allowed by the App marketplace partners (Apple iTunes Store and Google Play store).

2.4.2. Maintaining a Paid Subscription

Any of our paid subscriptions shall be paid in monthly, semi-annual, or annual installments and processed by the App marketplace partner through which you originally acquired the subscription.

You will only have access to a paid subscription while it is active and subsisting. Should you fail to pay your subscription within 7 days after the due date, you will automatically downgrade to "Free Use."

The renewal subscription fees will continue to be billed to the Payment Method you provided through the marketplace automatically until canceled. You must cancel your subscription before it renews each billing period to avoid billing the next subscription fee to the Payment Method you provided. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial-month subscription period.

You can modify or cancel your paid subscription only through the App marketplace where you originally acquired the subscription. To view, modify, or cancel your subscription, you may be required to be authenticated under the same user ID by the marketplace partner.

2.4.3. Refunds

Please note that if you purchase a subscription through the Apple iTunes Store or our iPhone application, the sale is final, and we will not provide a refund. Your purchase will be subject to Apple's applicable payment policy, which also may not provide for refunds.

If you purchase a subscription through the Google Play store, the sale is final, and we will not provide a refund. Your purchase will be subject to Google's applicable payment policy, which also may not provide for refunds.

If you purchase a subscription through our website (via Stripe, PayPal, or another payment processor), the sale is final, and we will not provide a refund.

Please note that the 14-day-after-purchase refund policy for EU residents does not apply to the provided access to the digital product.
