These terms of use (“Terms”) are an agreement between Michael Velkes Consulting Ltd. (referred to as “MV Search.”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and you (referred to as “you” or “your”) and sets forth the terms and conditions relating to your use of our mobile application and services (collectively, “Application” or “Services”).

It is important that you read these Terms before accessing or using the Application and/or Services so that you are aware of the terms of use relating thereto. In addition to these Terms, we encourage you to carefully review our Privacy Policy developers@mvsearch.net, which govern how we use your data and information.

Acceptance of these Terms

As a precondition for downloading the Application and/or using the Services, you must agree to these Terms. If you accept these Terms, you represent that you are age 18 or older.

By downloading the Application and/or by using or otherwise accessing the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not download the Application and/or use or otherwise access the Services.

Right of Withdrawal

If you are a user based in the European Union or a member country of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the following applies to you.

You may have the right to withdraw from these Terms, without the need to assign a reason, within 14 days from the day you first consented to them in the manner set forth immediately above. You may also have the right to withdraw from the purchase of a license to an in-app purchase, without the need to assign a reason, within 14 days from purchase. However, you are not entitled to withdraw from a purchase if you have consented to the in-app purchase or service being fully provided to you during the withdrawal period and acknowledge that you thereby forfeit your right of withdrawal.

To withdraw from these Terms, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw and discontinue your use of the Application and Services. To withdraw from the purchase of an in-app purchase and/or a Service, you must inform the merchant of record, which may be either MV Search or its authorized partner through whom you made the purchase. Please note that we are neither able nor required to fulfill your request to withdraw from a purchase where we are not the merchant of record.

To inform us of your decision to withdraw, you must send an equivocal statement of your decision by email to developers@mvsearch.net. To meet the deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

If you withdraw from the purchase of a license to an in-app purchase or a Service, you are entitled to be reimbursed for the purchase without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day which you informed the merchant of record of your decision to withdraw from the purchase. The reimbursement will be carried out using the same means of payment you used for the initial payment unless you have agreed otherwise. You will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Right to Use the Application and Services

Subject to these Terms, we hereby grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, non-transferable, limited right and license to use the Application and Services for your personal, non-commercial use.

Except as set forth above, you do not receive any other right and/or license to the Application, the Services and/or to any part of either of the foregoing thereof. We retain all right, title and interest in and to the Application and Services, including, but not limited to, all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, proprietary rights, patents, titles, computer codes, audio-visual effects, themes, characters, character names, stories, dialogue, settings, artwork, sound effects, musical works, gameplay recordings made using the Application and/or the Services, moral rights, in each case whether registered and/or registrable, or not, and all applicationsthereof. Unless expressly authorized by applicable law, the Application and Services may not be copied, reproduced, or distributed in any manner or medium, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you herein.

Purchases in the Application

We may license to you certain virtual goods or other content (e.g., in-game items or currency) which may be used within the Application and/or Services and which you may purchase with “real-world” money or earn or redeem through gameplay (“in-app purchase”). In-app purchases are licensed to you on a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-sub-contractable, revocable basis solely for your own non-commercial use.

Unless expressly authorized in the Application and Services, you may only purchase in-app purchases from MV Search or its authorized partner, and the transfer or sale of any in-app purchase is prohibited.

In-app purchases do not have an equivalent value in real-world money and are not a substitute for real-world money. Neither MV Search, nor any other person or entity, has any obligation to exchange in-app purchases for anything of value. MV Search is not liable for hacking or loss of your in-app purchases.

Price and availability of in-app purchases are subject to change without notice.

All purchases and redemptions of in-app purchases made through the Application are final and non-refundable. You acknowledge and consent that in-app purchases are provided to you immediately upon purchase and that you forfeit any right to cancel or withdraw from the purchase once the process has commenced. Accordingly, you agree that MV Search is not required to provide a refund for in-app purchases for any reason. You further acknowledge that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused in-app purchases, regardless of whether your loss of license under these Terms was voluntary or involuntary. The foregoing does not affect your rights under applicable law, including those you may have based on the legal guarantee of conformity described in the section headed “Disclaimer”.

If you ask for your personal data to be deleted, in compliance with our privacy policy, you will permanently forfeit all of your in-app purchases without the right to a refund because we will no longer be able to associate such in-app purchases with you.

The Application and Services may be temporarily unavailable due to technical issues or maintenance-related reasons, which may occur on a scheduled orunscheduled basis.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MV SEARCH, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BELIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, COVER, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF MV SEARCH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Severability

All rights and restrictions contained in these Terms may be exercised and shall be applicable and binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render these Terms illegal, invalid or unenforceable. If any provision or portion of any provision of these Terms shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions or portions thereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining provisions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

Dispute resolution

For United States residents, these Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and a class-action waiver that affects your rights about how to resolve disputes. If you live in the United States, please read it carefully. Except where you opt out, and except for certain types of disputes set forth hereunder, you agree that disputes arising between you and MV Search.Net. will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and you waive your right to participate in any class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

If you are a United States resident or otherwise make any claim against MV Search.Net. in the United States, you expressly agree that any legal claim, dispute or other controversy between you and MV Search.Net. arising out of or otherwise relating in any way to the Application and Services, including controversies relating to the applicability, enforceability or validity of any provision of these Terms or MV Search.Net. Privacy Policy (collectively “Disputes”), shall be resolved in confidential binding arbitration conducted before one commercial arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), rather than in a court, as described herein. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s commercial arbitration rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). You acknowledge that you are voluntarily and knowingly forfeiting your right to a trial by jury and to otherwise proceed in a lawsuit in state or federal court.

Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case MV Search.Net. will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. MV Search.Net. also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by the AAA. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.

The arbitration may be conducted in New York, NY, or upon your request, in the city closest to your location where AAA maintains an office. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on you and MV Search.Net. and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

As an exception to the binding arbitration rule, to the extent the dispute arises from: (a) A violation of MV Search.Net. intellectual property rights in any manner; (b) Any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act or Section “Code of Conduct” of these Terms; and (c) Any claim for equitable relief; then both parties agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any court with jurisdiction over the other party. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

To the extent permissible under applicable law, all disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other disputes shall be consolidated or joined with your dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

You and MV Search.Net. agree that there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures, there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity or as a private attorney general, and no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration.

You may opt out of this obligation to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor MV Search.Net. can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify MV Search.Net. in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out: MV Search.Net. ATTN: Legal Department, 8 Uri Lesser St. Tel Aviv, 6495408, Israel, 3467937, Israel. You must include your name and residence address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration clause.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter to: MV Search.Net. ATTN: Legal Department, 8 Uri Lesser St. Tel Aviv, 6495408, Israel, 3467937, Israel, Israel, requesting arbitration and describing your claim.

MV Search.Net. will provide 30-days’ notice of any changes to this section “Binding Arbitration / Class Waiver” through the Application and/or Services or via other similar means. Changes will become effective on the 30th day and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 30th day.

If you are not a United Stats resident, then the formation, interpretation, and performance of these Terms and any dispute arising out of it shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of Israel without regard to its rules on conflicts or choice of law. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter hereof shall be the courts located in Tel Aviv, Israel, and you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

Assignment

You may not assign, resell, sub-license or otherwise transfer or delegate any of your rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, which consent shall be at our own sole discretion and without obligation; any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void. We are free to assign any of the rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third-party as part of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock or as part of a merger.

Changes and amendments

We reserve the right to modify these Terms or its policies relating to the Application or Services at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of these Terms in the Application. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. Continued use of the Application after such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Entire Agreement

These Terms set out the entire agreement between you and MV Search.Net. regarding the Application and Services and supersede all earlier agreements and understandings between you and MV Search.Net. .

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver

Any failure by MV Search.Net. to exercise or enforce any of its rights under these Terms does not waive its right to enforce such right. Any waiver of such rights shall only be effective if made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of MV Search.Net. .

Additional Terms for Apple Users

In addition to the terms set forth above, the following terms apply if you are accessing the Application and/or Services using devices by Apple Inc. (“Apple”).

You acknowledge and agree that these Terms are concluded between you and MV Search.Net. , not with Apple, and that MV Search.Net. , not Apple, is responsible for the Application and/or Services and related content therein. The license granted to you under these Terms is subject to the permitted usage rules specified in the Apple App Store Terms of Service and any third-party terms of agreement therein. You must comply with any third-party terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Application and/or Services.

MV Search.Net. , not Apple, is responsible to you for: (a) providing any relevant maintenance or support for the Application and/or Services in accordance with these Terms; and (b) addressing any claims you may have regarding the Application and/or Services, including product liability claims, any claim that the Application and/or Services fail to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar laws. If the Application and/or Services fail to conform to the warranties or other conditions set forth in these Terms or applicable law, you may notify Apple, after which Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the Application and/or relevant Services. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other obligation with respect to the Application and/or Services.

In the event of any third-party claim that the Application and/or Services or your possession and use of the Application and/or Services infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, Apple will not be responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, or discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, you agree that Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
