3. Age
Stoic App is not directed to individuals under the age of sixteen (16). To use the App, you agree that you must be 16 or older. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for Stoic to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then you must acquire this minimum age.
4. Using App
Stoic is committed to ensuring that the App is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the App or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the App or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.
It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to Stoic App secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the Stoic App won’t work properly or at all.
Certain functions of the App will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider. Stoic cannot take responsibility for the App not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.
If you’re using the App outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that your terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the App, or other third party charges. In using the App, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the App outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming.
Along the same lines, you need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the service, Stoic cannot accept responsibility.
Although we endeavour to ensure that the App is updated and correct at all times, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. Stoic accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality of the App.
At some point, we may wish to update the App. The App is currently available on iOS and Android – the requirements for systems (and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the App to) may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the App. Stoic cannot guarantee that it will always update the App so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the iOS/Android version that you have installed on your device.
We may also wish to stop providing the App, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the App, and (if needed) delete it from your device.
If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you are using the App, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the App.
