3. Obtaining the App
If you accessed or downloaded the App from any app store or distribution platform (like the Apple Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore) (each, an “App Provider”), then you acknowledge and agree that:
- These Terms and Conditions are concluded between you and Wüdya, and not with any App Provider, and that, as between us and the App Provider, Wüdya is solely responsible for the App.
- App Providers have no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
- App Providers are not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your installation of the App on your mobile device (also referred to as “possession of the App”) and use of the App including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

4. Account
Use of the App is limited to individuals who have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they reside and who otherwise have the capacity to enter into binding agreements. If you have not yet reached the age of the majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, you are not permitted to create an Account or otherwise use the App.
The App and Content may only be used for lawful purposes. YOU MAY NOT USE THE APP IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THE FOREGOING IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAWS.
Creation of an account (an “Account”) is required if you want to use certain features of the App. To do so, you must disclose your name and certain information about yourself. You may also create an Account through a pre-existing account you have created with Facebook, Google or such other pre-existing third-party accounts as we may choose to support in the future (notification of which will be provided by allowing selection of such pre-existing accounts on the relevant account-creation screen). Your Account will be created by extracting from your Facebook, Google or other pre-existing third-party account certain personal information (such as your e-mail address) that your privacy settings on the applicable account permit us to access. If such privacy settings do not allow extraction of all required information, you will be required to disclose such information yourself. You will also be asked to supplement any information required for creation of an Account which could not otherwise be extracted from your Facebook and/or Google account.
Certain features of the App are limited to users who have created a premium Account and who have paid all associated registration, subscription and/or usage fees (collectively, “Fees”). Wüdya may increase fees from time to time in its sole discretion without prior notice.
You must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information for your Account, and you agree to update such information to the extent required to keep it accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Failure to do so may result in suspension or termination of your Account.
We reserve the right to validate your age to ensure that you have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside but we are not required to do so. If we elect to confirm your age but for whatever reason we cannot do so or we cannot do so with a reasonable degree of certainty, your account will be deleted and you will no longer be permitted to use the App.
As part of the delivery of the features and functionality of the App, Wüdya will send you SMS, e-mails, push notifications and other messages and alerts in accordance with the way you have configured your Account and to inform you of changes or problems. It is important therefore that you keep your contact details in your Account up to date.
5. Use of the App
Use of the App is limited to individuals who have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they reside and who otherwise have the capacity to enter into binding agreements.
Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms and Conditions, Wüdya hereby grants you a license to use the Content for your personal use and to use the App. Any commercial activity through your Account or any commercial use of Content is strictly prohibited. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Content may not be copied, compiled, harvested, distributed, republished, uploaded, posted, decompiled, or transmitted in any way, without the prior written consent of Wüdya.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for whatever Content you submit through use of the App, and you, not Wüdya, have full responsibility for such Content, including its accuracy, currency, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and non-infringing nature. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from the App any unlawful, illegal, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, infringing, hateful, harassing or otherwise inappropriate Content.
In connection with your use of the App, you acknowledge and agree that you are strictly prohibited from: (i) committing unauthorized intrusions into any part of the App or related systems which are restricted from general access; (ii) circumventing security provisions in order to improperly access the App; (iii) uploading, posting or transmitting through or on the App any viruses or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; (iv) using the App to seek or provide advice, opinion, diagnosis or assessment in a professional capacity; and (v) utilizing the App in any other manner so as to interrupt or interfere with the access to and/or usage of the App by another party.

6. Transactions
The creation and maintenance of a premium Account and the procurement of any pay-per-use feature or any other good or service through the App are subject to the transaction terms and conditions which can be accessed here.
Certain paid features of the App require use of prepaid credits (“Wüdya Credits”) which are applied to and exhausted after use of any such paid features. You acknowledge and understand that Wüdya Credits do not constitute any form of currency and rather constitute units of non-refundable prepaid services. Wüdya Credits can only be used for those paid features of the App that specifically state both acceptance of Wüdya Credits and the required amount of Wüdya Credits. Wüdya credits are non-transferable and cannot be converted to cash or any other type of asset. Wüdya credits are extinguished, without refund, credit or compensation of any sort, upon termination of your Account.
7. Termination
Either party may terminate these Terms and Conditions for convenience upon written notice. Without limitation to the foregoing, if at any time we believe that you have breached these Terms and Conditions or the terms of any other agreement with us, or are using the App improperly or illegally, we may terminate, restrict or suspend your access to the App immediately and/or terminate your Account without notice to you. In the event of termination all provisions relating to intellectual property (except for any express or implied licenses granted to you), all indemnification obligations, all disclaimers and all limitation and exclusion of liability provisions will survive any such termination or any termination of the agreement formed by these Terms and Conditions, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whom initiates termination.
8. Personal Information
The App is designed to provide you with a personalized experience and personalized Content that is tailored for you and identify potential companions and provide you with the opportunity to be introduced to such companions and otherwise interact with them. The App is also designed to identify and provide you with third party offers and promotions that are tailored for you. As a result, your use of the App necessarily entails collection of personal information about you and use and disclosure of such personal information. It also entails you receiving personal information about other users of the App.
By using the App, you acknowledge and confirm that you have read Wüdya’s privacy policy available here and that you provide your consent in regard to any and all activities, tasks, practices and undertakings discussed in such privacy policy relating to the collection, use, disclosure, storage, communication, transmission, modification, retention and destruction of your personal information.

You acknowledge and understand that the App uses artificial intelligence and other algorithms and automated processes in terms of certain its features including, without limitation, interpersonal matching and making recommendations in terms of interpersonal compatibility. The foregoing may be undertaking through use of your personal information (including, without limitation, your personal characteristics, your stated personal preferences, feedback you provide in terms of other users and previous information and/or recommendations made by the App).
Certain features of the App may allow you to make purchases from Wüdya or from third parties. If you make a purchase from Wüdya through use of the App, all information obtained during your purchase or transaction and all of the information that you give as part of the transaction, such as your name, address, method of payment, credit card number, and billing information, may be collected by Wüdya, the third party merchant, and their respective payment processing service provider.

12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
As with any mobile application that makes use of a GPS smartphone, the accuracy of the location information captured and used by the App depends on, amongst other things, the quality of the connection between the smartphone and the GPS satellites and the connection with the mobile phone network. These can be affected by environmental factors such as bad weather or the presence of tall buildings and information can be delayed, corrupted or lost. Any geolocation information used or displayed by the App is therefore to be regarded as being a guide to the location of the smartphone at the time of the last update received from it, and subject to error.
We do not warrant that the App (and features and functionality of the App) will be available at all times, as (in addition to the factors mentioned above), it may be down for maintenance or as a result of a bug or other deficiency. Although we will endeavour to fix deficiencies, we provide no guarantee or assurances in this regard. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY USING THE APP, ARISING FROM THE APP, FROM ANY INFORMATION DISPLAYED AS PART OF USE OF THE APP OR FROM ANY UNAVAILABILITY OF ANY OF THEM. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, ANY TELECOMMUNICATION FEATURE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE APP IS NOT SUPPORTED BY ANY EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY E-911 SERVICE) AND SHOULD THEREFORE NOT BE RELIED UPON IN TERMS OF ANY EMERGENCY OR CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS. SUCH FEATURES ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR SOCIAL INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS AND FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE.
Use of the App should be avoided when operating a vehicle or in other circumstances requiring the user’s attention, concentration or focus. It is your sole responsibility to consider and decide whether use of the App is prudent in the circumstances. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH ARISING FROM USE OF THE APP IN IMPRUDENT OR INAPPROPRIATE CIRCUMSTANCES.
WHILE CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN THE PREPARATION OF THE APP AND THE CONTENT AND IN DEVELOPING ALGORITHMS THAT PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN YOUR PROFILE, YOUR PRIOR USE OF THE APP AND YOUR SHARING OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES AND VIEWS THROUGH THE APP, THE APP AND THE CONTENT IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS AND WÜDYA DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO QUALITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, LEGALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, CURRENCY, RELIABILITY, EFFICACY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS TO THE APP, ERROR-FREE OPERATION OF THE APP, THE ABSENCE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES AND OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR CORRUPTED DATA OR INFORMATION ON THE APP.
THE APP ALLOWS YOU TO SHARE INFORMATION AND SOCIALLY INTERACT WITH THIRD PARTIES. WÜDYA DOES NOT ENDORSE, RECOMMEND, GUARANTEE OR PROVIDE ANY ASSURANCE WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY ANY STATEMENT OR COMMUNICATION FROM ANY THIRD PARTY. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR DEALINGS WITH ANY OTHER USER AND WÜDYA WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY RESPECT IN REGARD TO THE FOREGOING. ALTHOUGH USE OF THE APP IS RESTRICTED TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY IN THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THEY RESIDE, WÜDYA IS NOT REQUIRED NOT VALIDATE THE AGE PROVIDED BY ITS USERS AND MAKES NO WARRANTY AND PROVIDES NO ASSURANCES THAT USERS OF THE APP HAVE IN FACT REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT USERS WITH WHOM YOU INTERACT HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY AND THAT YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THEM ARE LAWFUL, LEGAL AND OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE. IF YOU SUSPECT THAT A USER OF THE APP HAS NOT REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY REFRAIN FROM ANY FURTHER INTERACTION WITH SUCH USER AND CONTACT WÜDYA IMMEDIATELY TO ADVISE THEM OF YOUR BELIEF AND PROVIDE SUPPORTING FACTS.
WÜDYA, ITS ADVERTISERS, SPONSORS, CONTENT PROVIDERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP AND/OR THE CONTENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF REPUTATION, PURE ECONOMIC LOSS, INTRUSION UPON SECLUSION, PAIN AND SUFFERING, INJURY TO DIGNITY, FEELINGS AND SELF-RESPECT, LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DEPRECIATION OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF REVENUE, AND NON-MONETARY LOSSES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE), AND/OR VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY, FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, FUNDAMENTAL BREACH, BREACH OF A FUNDAMENTAL TERM OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF.
THE CONTENT IS INTENDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE ADVICE, ENDORSEMENTS OR RECOMMENDATIONS, AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON IN ANY SUCH REGARD. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE OR DETAILED STATEMENT CONCERNING THE INDIVIDUAL(S) INVOLVED AND/OR THE MATTERS ADDRESSED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EVENT. WÜDYA DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR ENCOURAGE ANY COMMUNICATION, INTERACTION AND/OR DEALING WITH ANY USER OR OTHER PERSON FEATURED, INTRODUCED OR OTHERWISE PRESENTED THROUGH THE APP OR REGISTRATION FOR AND/OR ATTENDANCE TO ANY EVENT. LIKEWISE, WÜDYA DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE THE USE OF ANY THIRD PARTY GOOD OR SERVICE THAT MAY BE SHOWN, FEATURED AND/OR DESCRIBED BY THE APP. ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE APP SHOULD BE USED ONLY AFTER HAVING BEEN VALIDATED AND VERIFIED. WÜDYA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IN TERMS OF ANY INACCURACY IN TERMS OF THE CONTENT, WHETHER PROVIDED BY WÜDYA, ANOTHER USER OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY. IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY, CURRENCY AND COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT AND TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS WHERE THE FOREGOING CANNOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH CERTAINTY.
ANYONE USING THE APP DOES SO AT HIS OR HER OWN RISK, AND BY USING OR SUBMITTING CONTENT, INTERACTING WITH ANY OTHER USER AND/OR ATTENDING ANY EVENT, AGREES TO INDEMNIFY WÜDYA AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS AND CONTENT PROVIDERS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, INJURY, DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES) AND OTHER LOSSES ARISING FROM SUCH PERSON'S USE OF THE APP, USE OR SUBMISSION OF CONTENT, ATTENDANCE AT (OR FAILURE TO ATTEND) ANY EVENT AND/OR COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS AND/OR DEALINGS WITH ANY OTHER USER.
13. User Submissions: Grant of Licence
The App may contain Interactive Functions allowing users to submit, post, publish, display, or transmit (collectively, "submit") content, material, and information through use of the App (collectively, "UGC"), including direct messaging and other communications with other users.

By submitting any UGC through use of the App, you grant Wüdya and its affiliates and service providers, and each of their respective licensees, successors, and assigns the right to a world-wide, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for the purpose of operating the App, allowing you and others to use the App and providing you with any other services that you have procured or are otherwise obtaining from us (including both operational, financial, technical and administrative matters relating thereto), and/or incorporate such UGC into any form, medium or technology throughout the world without compensation to you. Handling of any UGC that constitutes your personal information will be subject to our privacy policy which can be accessed here.

You understand and agree that you, not Wüdya nor Wüdya's parent, subsidiaries, affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, service providers, contractors, licensors, suppliers, or successors, are responsible for any UGC you submit or contribute, and you are fully responsible and legally liable, including to any third party, for such content and its accuracy. Wüdya is not responsible or legally liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any UGC submitted by you or any other user of the App.
14. Intellectual Property Rights
All feedback, remarks, suggestions, ideas, graphics and other information (other than your personal information) communicated to Wüdya through the App become the exclusive property of Wüdya and Wüdya may make unfettered use of same without compensation to you. Likewise, subject to our compliance with privacy laws, all data collected in regard to any use of the App (including demographic and statistical information compiled in regard to users of the App) are the sole property of Wüdya.
The App and the Content are protected by Canadian, United States and other national copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. All rights in the Content that have not been expressly granted in these Terms and Conditions are expressly reserved.
Wüdya and its licensors retain exclusive ownership of all copyright, trademark and all other rights in the App and Content. No portion of the Content may be used or reproduced, other than for personal use, or harvested, scraped, distributed, transmitted or "mirrored" in any form, or by any means, without Wüdya’s prior written consent, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld.
Certain names, words, titles, phrases, logos, icons, graphics or designs used in the App may constitute trade names, and/or registered or unregistered trademarks (collectively, “Trademarks”) of Wüdya or of third parties that are used under license. The display of Trademarks on the App, and those to which it is linked, does not imply the grant of any license to any other party.

Should you access other applications or websites via a link provided through the App or a link embedded in the Content and view content or materials that are not provided by Wüdya, you do so at your sole risk.

WÜDYA WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY SUCH LINKED APPLICATIONS OR WEBSITES, OR FROM ANY TRANSACTIONS, GOODS OR SERVICES PROCURED IN RELATION TO THE FOREGOING.
The terms of use and privacy policies applicable to such linked applications or websites may be different than those applicable to the App. You should therefore ensure that you have read these prior to accessing any third party application or website.

You may not assign your rights or obligations hereunder without Wüdya's prior written consent.
If any part of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void, invalid or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
