Termination

We may terminate or suspend access to our Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.

All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

Subscriptions, Purchases, Fees, and Payments.

While downloading the App is free, we do charge for accessing premium functions within the App (“In-App Purchases”). If you elect to access any paid functions of the Services, you agree to pay all fees and charges associated with that paid component on a timely basis. In-App Purchases are purchased from and billed by Apple iTunes (“App Store Provider”) and these purchases are subject to the terms and conditions provided by the App Store Provider from whose platform you downloaded the App.

You acknowledge and agree that you are fully responsible for managing your In-App Purchases and the amount you spend on In-App Purchases within the App. More information about how you may be able to switch off and/or manage In-App Purchases using your device may be set out in the App Store Provider’s terms, in your device’s help settings, or online.

In App Purchases can only be consumed with the App. If you make an In-App Purchase, that In-App Purchase cannot be cancelled after you have initiated its download. In-App Purchases cannot be redeemed for cash or other consideration or otherwise transferred. If you make any In-App Purchases within the App, the App Store Provider’s terms and conditions applicable to In-App Purchases will also apply.

If any In-App Purchase is not successfully downloaded or does not work once it has been successfully downloaded, we will, after becoming aware of the fault or being notified of the fault by you, investigate the reason for the fault. We will act reasonably in deciding whether to provide you with a credit for the In-App Purchase. In the unlikely event that we are unable to do so within a reasonable period of time and without significant inconvenience to you, we will authorize the App Store Provider to refund you an amount up to the cost of the relevant In-App Purchase. Alternatively, if you wish to request a refund, you may do so by contacting the App Store Provider directly.

You acknowledge and agree that all billing and transaction processes are handled by the App Store Provider from whose platform you downloaded the App and are governed by the App Store Provider’s terms and conditions. If you have any payment related issues with In-App Purchases, then you need to contact the App Store Provider directly.

Content

Our Service allows you to post, link, store, share and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material (“Content”).

Links To Other Web Sites

Our Service may contain links to third-party web sites or services that are not owned or controlled by Equestrian Studio.

Equestrian Studio has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party web sites or services. You further acknowledge and agree that Equestrian Studio shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such web sites or services.

Changes

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 days’ notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
