​
Overview of Service. ForUsApps has provided the Service to facilitate your ability to more strongly understand and ultimately use your social media account. The Services perform the functions, complete the tasks, and provide the information described in the description of the application you are using, as amended from time to time. You understand that our Service and the function of the Service, which may generally be described as online marketing and social media presence management, are inherently fluid by their nature. Accordingly, ForUsApps cannot guarantee specific results, only the execution of agreed upon services. Further, you understand that in the course implementing any ideas you develop in reliance on the Services there may be short term declines in performance of your online presence, email, social media platforms, or Service (collectively, “Client Properties”), that these are to be expected, and that ForUsApps cannot control nor guarantee success to your endeavors nor any particular result.This Service is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok, ByteDance Ltd, or Meta!
​
License.
Subject to your compliance with these conditions, ForUsApps grants to you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Service on any mobile device or computer owned, leased, and/or controlled by you. This license is not a sale of the original Service or any copies. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved and retained by ForUsApps. No Service, nor any part of Service, may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without express written consent of ForUsApps. You may make single copies of materials displayed on the Service for your own personal and noncommercial use only, provided any copies include the copyright and other notices displayed with the materials on the Service.
​
Personal and Noncommercial Use.
The Service is for your personal and noncommercial use related to your personal or business social media use. Commercial use including, but not limited to, using our Service to provide social media consulting or similar services to third parties, is expressly prohibited. As a condition to your continued use of the Service, you warrant to ForUsApps that you will not use the Service for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Service of use.
​
Subscriptions & Fees.
​
If your use of the Service is through one of our paid applications, then this Section 5 shall apply. We reserve the right to make changes to which of our applications are paid or free, in our sole discretion. You will receive notice from us at least 7 days prior to any application becoming paid. General. We bill you through an online account (your “Billing Account”) for use of the Service. You agree to pay ForUsApps all charges at the price then in effect for any use of the Service by your or any other persons using your Billing Account, and you authorize ForUsApps to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”) for the Service. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. ForUsApps reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. Recurring Billing. Most subscription plans to the Service consist of an initial period, for which there is a one time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By entering into these Terms, you acknowledge that that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. A third party (e.g. Apple) may manage your subscription (together with ForUsApps, your “Subscription Manager”). The Subscription Manager may submit period charges (e.g. monthly) without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (confirmed in writing upon request by the Subscription Manager) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before your Subscription Manager could reasonably act. To terminate your authorization or change your payment method, go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039. Current Information Required. You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for your Billing Account. You must promptly update all information to keep your billing account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify your Subscription Manager if your Payment Method is cancelled (e.g. for theft or loss) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your Credentials. Changes to such information can be made at https://appleid.apple.com. If you fail to provide your Subscription Manager any of the foregoing information, you agree that your Subscription Manager may continue charging you for any use of the Service under your Billing Account unless you have terminated your subscription for the Service (confirmed in writing by you upon request by your Subscription Manager). Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between your and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your chosen Payment Method (the “Payment Method Provider”). If ForUsApps does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand. Change in Amount Authorized. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and your Subscription Manager shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge at least 10 days before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your Payment Method Provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that your Subscription Manager may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle. Auto-Renewal. Your Service subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. To change or resign your subscription at any time, go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039. If you resign, you may use your subscription until the end of your then current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then current term expires. However, you won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then current subscription period. Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of the Service reaffirms that your Subscription Manager is authorized to charge your Payment Method. Your Subscription Manager may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive ForUsApps right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially subscribed to the Service. Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides subscriber-level access to the Service must be used within the specified time of the trial. You must cancel your subscription before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged a subscription fee. If you cancel prior to the end of the trial period and are inadvertently charged for a subscription, please contact us to have the charges reversed. Refunds. Service subscriptions rendered are based on our cancel anytime policy to terminate. When you cancel/terminate all services will stop at the end of your billing period.We do offer a 30 days money-back guarantee, this means that we offer a full refund for any first-order that was placed by a customer.You will receive a full refund credit on any payment made to your account if the subscription or it’s renewal paid is non deliverable due to any unforeseen circumstances on our part.Multiple service signups of our free trial will break your eligibility to receive a refund.

General.
All Users hereby agree to our Privacy Policy. ForUsApps retains all rights not expressly granted herein. ForUsApps may freely assign these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service are the complete and exclusive agreement of the parties and supersede all prior communications, oral or written, between the parties relating to the Terms of Service’ subject matter. Without regard to its conflicts of laws principles, the laws of the State of New Hampshire govern all matters, including torts, with respect to these Terms of Service. Further, any claim, controversy, or dispute that arises between You and ForUsApps must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of New Hampshire, unless Section 18 applies. You and ForUsApps agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of New Hampshire for the purpose of litigating all such claims, controversies, or disputes. These Terms of Service are severable, and in the event any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

​
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH ForUsApps AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
​
Arbitration Agreement; Claims.
This Section 18 is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement” in these Terms. Unless you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement in accordance with the procedure described in Section 18(i) below, you and ForUsApps (together, the “Parties”) agree that any and all disputes or claims that arise between you and ForUsApps relating to the ForUsApps Service and/or these Terms (including any alleged breach of these Terms) (collectively, “Claims”), except for Excluded Claims (defined in the following sentence), will be resolved as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. As used herein, “Excluded Claims” means (1) individual claims brought in small claims court (if your claims qualify), (2) claims in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property (including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents), and (3) claims that, as a matter of applicable law, cannot be made subject to arbitration.
Agreement to Arbitrate. Unless you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement in accordance with the procedure described in Section 18(i) below, you agree that any and all Claims (other than Excluded Claims) will be resolved exclusively on an individual basis through final and binding arbitration, rather than in a court, in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, and your rights in connection with all Claims (other than Excluded Claims) will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not by a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent that the Parties’ dispute involves both timely filed Excluded Claims and other Claims subject to this Agreement, the Parties agree to bifurcate and stay for the duration of the arbitration proceedings any such Excluded Claims.
​
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.
YOU AND FORUSAPPS AGREE THAT, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 18(i) BELOW, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN A PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION CANNOT BE WAIVED AS A MATTER OF LAW) AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ForUsApps AGREE OTHERWISE (OR TO THE EXTENT THAT THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN A PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION CANNOT BE WAIVED AS A MATTER OF LAW), THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER ForUsApps USERS.
​
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution.
Before you commence arbitration, we suggest that you contact us to explain your complaint. Our preference will always be to resolve complaints amicably and efficiently, without the need for arbitration. You may contact us via email at ForUsApps, Attn: Legal, support@foruapps.com. If the issue is not resolved and results in arbitration, we will need to mutually select and agree upon an arbitrator and the rules and procedures to govern the arbitration.
Arbitration Procedures. The Parties will try in good faith to mutually select and agree upon an arbitrator and rules and procedures to govern the arbitration. If we cannot agree, then the arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The rules that apply are those in effect when arbitration is demanded by either of the Parties. For information on JAMS, please visit its Service, https://www.jamsadr.com/. The JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration, which are incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. If there is any inconsistency between the JAMS Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would, including without limitation, the limitation of liability provisions in Section 17. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms and applicable law. The arbitrator shall submit a decision in writing, specifying the findings of fact and the conclusions of law on which the decision is based. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
​
The arbitration will be held in the county in which ForUsApps’s principal offices are located. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or ForUsApps may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election will be binding on you and ForUsApps subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or ForUsApps, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
​
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different ForUsApps users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same ForUsApps user to the extent required by applicable law. As limited by the Federal Arbitration Act, these Terms and the applicable JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have (1) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Claim, including the determination of whether a Claim is arbitrable, and (2) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.
​
Costs of Arbitration.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be shared equally by you and ForUsApps, except where prohibited by applicable law. In addition, (1) if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, ForUsApps will pay your portion of such fees, and (2) if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, ForUsApps will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Each party will be solely responsible for all other fees it incurs in connection with the arbitration, including without limitation, all attorney fees. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse ForUsApps for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by ForUsApps on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the JAMS Rules.
​
Confidentiality.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
​
Severability.
If any term, clause or provision of this Section 18 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 18 will remain valid and enforceable.
​
Opt-Out Procedure.
You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) in accordance with the terms of this Section 18(i). For new ForUsApps users, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept these Terms for the first time. If you are already a current ForUsApps user and previously accepted the ForUsApps Terms, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than March 30, 2021. You must send the Opt-Out Notice to ForUsApps, Attn: Legal, support@forusapps.com. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to the Arbitration Agreement and must include your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to register for the ForUsApps Service to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, the entire Arbitration Agreement will not apply with respect to you, but the remainder of these Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Claims (including Excluded Claims) in accordance with Section 14.
​
Future Changes to this Arbitration Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you agree that if we make any change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to any notice address or Service link provided herein) in the future, that change will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against ForUsApps prior to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we terminate this Arbitration Agreement by removing it from these Terms, such termination will not be effective until 30 days after the version of these Terms not containing the Arbitration Agreement is posted to the Site, and will not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against ForUsApps prior to the effective date of removal.
