The following additional terms and conditions apply to you if you download the Ziinkle App from a Third-Party Store. To the extent that the other terms and conditions of these Terms are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this Section, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this Section will apply, but solely with respect to the Ziinkle App and the Third-Party Store.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. These Terms are concluded solely between you and Ziinkle and not with the providers of the Third-Party Store, and Ziinkle is solely responsible for the Ziinkle App and the content thereof. To the extent that these Terms provide for usage rules for the Ziinkle App which are less restrictive or in conflict with the applicable terms of service of the Third-Party Store from which you obtain the Ziinkle App, the more restrictive or conflicting term of the Third-Party Store will take precedence and will apply.
  2. The Third-Party Store provider has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the Ziinkle App. Ziinkle is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. The Third-Party provider will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Ziinkle App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributed to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Ziinkle.
  3. Ziinkle, not the Third Party Store provider, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the Ziinkle App or your possession and/or use of the Ziinkle App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claims that the Ziinkle App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; and/or (iv) intellectual property infringement claims.

The Third-Party Store provider and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, the Third-Party provider from whom you obtained the Ziinkle App will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

We are not responsible and have no liability whatsoever for third-party goods or services you obtain through a Third-Party Store or mobile carrier. We encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online transaction with any of these third parties.

10. Payment Terms

Ziinkle may offer products and services for purchase on the Ziinkle App (“In-App Purchases”). If you choose to make an In-app purchase, you acknowledge and agree that additional terms, disclosed to you at the point of purchase, may apply, and that such additional terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference. 

You make an In-App Purchase through the following payment methods (“Payment Method”): (a) making a purchase through a third-party platform such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (“Third Party Store”), or (b) paying with your credit card, debit card, or PayPal account, which will be processed by a third-party processor. Once you have made an In-App Purchase, you authorise us to charge your chosen Payment Method. If payment is not received by us from your chosen Payment Method, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand by us.

Subscriptions and Auto-Renewal: Ziinkle may offer some services as automatically renewing subscriptions e.g., a one-week subscription, one-month subscription or three-month subscription (“Premium Services”). IF YOU PURCHASE AN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION, YOU SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, AT ZIINKLE’S THEN CURRENT PRICE FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTIONS UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel your subscription in the manner detailed below, before the end of the then-current subscription period. Deleting your account or deleting the application from your device does not cancel your subscription. You will be given notice of changes in the pricing of the Premium Services to which you have subscribed and you will have the opportunity to cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period if you wish to do so. 

If Ziinkle changes these prices and you do not cancel your subscription, you agree that you will be charged at Ziinkle’s then-current pricing for any subsequent renewal of you subscription. 

Cancelling Subscriptions: If you purchased a subscription directly from Ziinkle, you may cancel or change your Payment Method via the payment setting option under your profile. If you purchased a subscription through a Third-Party Store, such as the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, you will need to access your account with that Third Party Store and follow their instructions to change or cancel your subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of the subscription period that you last paid for, but:

  1. you will not be eligible for a prorated refund
  2. your subscription will not be renewed when that period expires
  3. you will then no longer be able to use the Premium Services or In-App Purchases enabled in your subscription.

Free Trials: If you sign up for a free trial and do not cancel your subscription prior to the end of the trial period, your trial may convert into a paid subscription and your Payment Method will then be charged at the then-current price for such subscription. Once your free trial converts to a paid subscription, your paid subscription will continue to automatically renew at the end of each subscription period, and your Payment Method will be charged until you cancel your subscription. To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period or free trial period as described above. Deleting or deactivating your account or deleting the application from your device does not cancel your free trial.

Refunds: All charges for purchases are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits that are given for partially used periods. 

The payments required under this Section 4 do not include any Goods and Services Tax that may be due in connection with the premium Services provided under these Terms. If Ziinkle determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Goods and Services Tax from you in connection to these Terms, Ziinkle will collect such Goods and Services Tax in addition to the payments required under this Section 4. If any Premium Services, or payments for any premium Services, under these Terms are subject to any Goods and Services Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Goods and Services Tax to Ziinkle, you will be responsible for the payment of such Goods and Services Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority. As used herein, “Goods and Services Tax” means any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

Changes to our Terms

If we do this, then the Changes will be posted on this page, and we will indicate the Effective Date of the updates at the bottom of the Terms.

Additional items

No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Terms shall operate as a waiver of such right or acceptance of any variation of the Terms and nor shall any single or partial exercise by either party of any right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise of the right or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
