4. How CashChat works.
CashChat is a private secure end-to-end messaging app between two users. It offers a unique feature to allow users to charge CashChat Coins to view specific content and also allow a user to send premium media directly to another user with an associated Coins cost. Added features like tipping provide an extra level for the user to monetise their content.
By setting up a CashChat Profile, users can classify themselves as an expert in certain categories, which will then allow them to be displayed in the discovery section, along with their chosen profile picture. By adjusting the various filters, users can refine their search to look for other users within a defined region or of a particular expertise for example.
Users sending/sharing their media affords them the opportunity to monetise their content. By defining a self-chosen price point, users can decide for themselves what they feel the content is worth.
CashChat uses Apple’s in-app purchases to provide its CashChat coins which users can purchase to spend on other user content within the app only.
Users who successfully monetise their content and accrue $100 equivalent CashChat coin balance will become eligible for automated payment to their PayPal account.
The CashChat app is free to download and utilise but in addition to the In-App CashChat coins feature, it also offers an in app, paid user subscription option of either one or twelve months which provides subscribed users additional features including, but not limited to: Unlocking premium content and change of location.
5. Purchases
Generally. From time to time, CashChat may offer products and services for purchase ("in app purchases") through iTunes or Google Play. If you choose to make an in app purchase, you will be prompted to confirm your purchase with the applicable payment provider, and your method of payment (be it your card or a third party account such as Google Play or iTunes) (your "Payment Method") will be charged for the in app purchase at the prices displayed to you for the service(s) you've selected as well as any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your payments, and you authorize CashChat or the third party account, as applicable, to charge you. If you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription through an in app purchase, your Payment Method will continue to be billed for the subscription until you cancel. After your initial subscription commitment period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing.
Auto-Renewal; Automatic Card Payment. Subscriptions are automatically renewed until you terminate or cancel the subscription. When you purchase a subscription, your Payment Method will continue to be billed monthly in advance within 24 hours of the date of the initial purchase at the price you agreed to when initially subscribing. Your card payment information will be stored by iTunes or Google play and subsequently used for the automatic card payments in accordance with the Agreement.
Objections to a payment already made should be directed to the relevant third party account such as iTunes or Google Play. You are also able to object by contacting your bank or payment provider, who can provide further information on your rights as well as applicable time limits.
You may unconditionally withdraw your consent to automatic card payments at any time by going to the relevant third party account, but be advised that you are still obligated to pay any outstanding amounts.
If you want to change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your third party account and follow instructions to terminate or cancel your subscription, even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted the CashChat application from your device. Deleting your account on CashChat or deleting the CashChat application from your device does not terminate or cancel your subscription; CashChat will retain all funds charged to your Payment Method until you terminate or cancel your subscription on the third party account, as applicable. If you terminate or cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires.
Refunds. Generally, all charges for purchases are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. We make an exception for users residing in the EU or European Economic area if a refund for a subscription offering is requested within fourteen days of the transaction date, or other than this if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for refunds.
If you subscribed using your Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple, not CashChat. To request a refund, go to iTunes, click on your Apple ID, select "Purchase history", find the transaction and hit "Report Problem". You can also submit a request at https://getsupport.apple.com.
If you subscribed using your Google Play Store account: please contact support@cashchathelp.zendesk.com with your order number for the Google Play Store (you can find the order number in the order confirmation email or by logging in to Google Wallet).
If you use your right of cancellation (except for purchases made through your Apple ID, which Apple controls), we will refund (or ask Google to refund) all payments received from you, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days of the date when we received notice of your decision to cancel the Agreement. We shall make such refund using the same means of payment as used by you in the initial transaction. In any case, no fees will be charged to you as a result of the refund.
Pricing. CashChat operates a global business and provides services to a diverse community of users. Our pricing structure may vary by region, length of subscription, bundle size, recent in-app promotions and other factors. We may from time to time test new features and price points to provide members with increased functionality and payment options should they choose to use them.

9. Modifying the Service and Termination.
CashChat will strive to improve the Service and bring you additional functionality over time that you will find engaging and useful. This means we may add new product features or enhancements from time to time as well as remove some features, and if these actions do not materially affect your rights or obligations, we may not provide you with notice before taking them. We may even suspend the Service entirely, in which event we will notify you in advance unless extenuating circumstances, such as safety or security concerns, prevent us from doing so.
You may terminate your account at any time, by contacting CashChat Customer support at: support@cashchathelp.zendesk.com, however if you use a third party payment account, you will need to manage termination through such account (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional billing. CashChat may terminate your account at any time without notice if it believes that you have violated this Agreement. Upon such termination, either by your choice or CashChat’s decision you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases made. CashChat may also terminate your account if it remains inactive for a period of 12 months. If your account is terminated by CashChat, no refunds of confirmed in-app purchases will be made and in app CashChat coin balances will be forfeited. IMPORTANT NOTE: All in-app purchases of CashChat coins are final and non-refundable. By making an in-app purchase of CashChat coins, you expressly waive any and all rights and claims you may have to cancel the purchase or get a refund, and you expressly acknowledge and agree that neither the other user nor CashChat will have any obligation or liability to provide you with a refund for any reason.
