2. ELIGIBILITY.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, then you are not permitted to use the Service.

If you become a Member, you represent and warrant that you have never been convicted of a felony and that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any government entity. If any such representations or warranties turn out to be false or misleading in any way, your membership will be terminated immediately without refund of any unused or used funds in your account.
3. MEMBERSHIP AND SUBSCRIPTION; PRICING.
a. Accounts. You may become a Member of the Service at no cost. As a Member, you will have the ability to participate in some, but not all, of the features and services available within the Service. If you register with the Service and create a profile, then you are a “Member.”
b. To become a Member, you must create an account by providing a valid email address, username, password and other information as prompted by the registration form or as required by applicable law. We may also allow you to register by using your social network credentials. When registering, you are prohibited from selecting or using as a username: (i) a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) a name that is subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. You represent and warrant that the information you provide to us upon registration and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete. We reserve the right to reject any username or to terminate your username and give such username to another user of the Service in our sole discretion, and without any liability to you. You also represent and warrant that you will ensure that this information is kept accurate and up-to-date at all times.
c. Premium Features; Credits. Certain features of the Service are only available to paying Members (“Premium Features”). In some cases, we may offer Premium Features for a flat, one-time fee. In those cases, you agree to pay the fee stated on the Service using your Billing Account (as defined below). In other instances, you may subscribe for regular access to certain features of the Service. In either case, you are a “Premium Member.” We may ask you to pay for Premium Features using Hitwe’s virtual currency, “Credits.” You may be required to pay a fee using real-world money to obtain a license to use Credits. Regardless of what we call them, Credits are not real money, do not have monetary value, and may never be redeemed for “real world” money, or other items of monetary value from outside of the Service without our written permission. While we may use terms like “buy”, “purchase” or “sell” in reference to Credits, we do so only for convenience and such terms in no way indicate that Credits have monetary value or are real money. You acknowledge that Credits are not real currency and are not redeemable for any sum of money from us at any time. We make no guarantee as to the nature, quality or value of the features of the Service or any third-party goods or services that will be accessible through the use of Credits, or the availability or supply of Credits.
i. License. Credits obtained via the Service are provided to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable license to use within the Service. Credits may not be transferred or resold in any manner, including, without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. You have no property interest, right or title in or to any such Credits appearing or originating in the Service, or any other attributes associated with use of the Service.
ii. Account Inactivity. All Credits will be forfeited if your account or access to the Service is terminated, or if we discontinue availability of some or all of the Service.
iii. Limitation of Liability. We have no liability for hacking or loss of your Credits or any goods or services obtained with Credits. We have no obligation to, and will not, reimburse you for any Credits or any goods or services obtained via Credits that are lost due to your violation of this Agreement. We reserve the right, without prior notification, to limit the quantity of Credits and/or to refuse to provide you with any Credits. Price, exchangeability, and availability of Credits are determined by us in our sole discretion and are subject to change without notice. Subject to applicable law, you agree that we have the absolute right to manage, distribute, regulate, control, modify, cancel, restrict, terminate and/or eliminate Credits as we see fit in our sole discretion, and that we will have no liability for exercising such right. You agree that under no circumstances are we liable to you for any damages or claims that may arise from the loss or use of your Credits regardless of the circumstances. You absolve us of any responsibility to maintain or update your account balance. However, if there is a loss of Credits in your account due to technical or operational problems with the Service, we will replenish the lost Credits once the loss has been verified. Without limiting any of the foregoing, our maximum liability or responsibility to you is to replenish the Credits lost (i.e., we will not provide you with any real world currency).
iv. Redemption. You may redeem Credits as set forth on the Service. We will, in our sole discretion, determine and communicate the availability and exchange rate for any Credits, which may be modified at any time. All redemptions are subject to this Agreement and all limitations and requirements stated via the Service. All acquisitions and redemptions of Credits are final. Once Credits have been spent, they will be subtracted from your account. We will provide refunds in our sole discretion. If you would like a refund, please contact us at support@DateWiz.Me.
d. Billing Accounts. If you are a Premium Member, we bill you through an online account (your “Billing Account”). Depending on the payment method, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to credit any payment to your account within 30 seconds. You agree to pay us all charges at the prices you agreed to for any use of the Service by you, and you authorize us to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”) for the Service. We may allow you to pay in installments. You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. DateWiz.Me may correct any billing errors or mistakes (e.g., charging you for an incorrect amount) that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, we may in our discretion terminate your account immediately. If we successfully dispute the reversal, and the reversed funds are returned to us, you are not entitled to a refund or to have your account or subscription reinstated. If you are a subscriber, then 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. By subscribing, you authorize DateWiz.Me to charge your Payment Method now and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. You also authorize DateWiz.Me to charge you for any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your subscription payments. Upon the renewal of your subscription, if DateWiz.Me does not receive payment from your Payment Method provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that DateWiz.Me may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Method provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received). Please be aware that when you subscribe to any package, including the trial period, you will become liable for automatic renewal billing at the full subscription price.
e. Auto-Renewal. YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICE PRIOR TO USING THE SERVICE. BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT, ONCE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRES, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AS FURTHER DESCRIBED BELOW. YOU AUTHORIZE US TO CHARGE THE PAYMENT METHOD THAT OUR SERVICE PROVIDER HAS ON FILE FOR YOU TO PAY FOR ANY RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION. YOU WILL BE BILLED FOR THE SAME SUBSCRIPTION PLAN (OR THE MOST SIMILAR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, IF YOUR PRIOR PLAN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE) AT THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PRICE PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES. WE WILL PROCESS YOUR PAYMENTS FOR ANY RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION USING THE SAME BILLING CYCLE AS YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY APPLY UPON RENEWAL, AND SUBSCRIPTION FEES MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW. If you do not wish your account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please log in and go to the Change / Cancel Membership (or similar) page on your Account Settings page.
f. Cancellation Refund Policy. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME, AFTER WHICH WE WILL NOT RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (I.E. CANCELLATION WILL BE EFFECTIVE AT THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT RENEWAL TERM). FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL, BUT YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. WE WILL ISSUE REFUNDS IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A REFUND, PLEASE CONTACT SUPPORT@DateWiz.Me.
4. TERM.
This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Service. You may terminate your membership and/or subscription (subject to Section 3 above) at any time, for any reason, by contacting our Support Team online. We may cancel or suspend your use of our Services, membership and/or subscription at any time, without cause and without notice. If we cancel or suspend your use of the Services without cause (as determined by DateWiz.Me), we may provide you with a refund for any pre-paid, but unused Credits. We are not required, and may be prohibited, from disclosing a reason for the termination of your account. After your membership or subscription is terminated, all terms that by their nature may survive termination of this Agreement shall be deemed to survive such termination.

a. Overview and Repeat Infringer Policy. DateWiz.Me respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of intellectual property very seriously, and we ask you to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service. Our intellectual property policy is to (i) remove or disable access to material that we believe in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or his or her agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available on or through the Service; and (ii) remove any User Content uploaded to the Service by “repeat infringers.” DateWiz.Me considers a “repeat infringer” to be any user that has uploaded User Content to or through the Service and about whom DateWiz.Me has received more than two takedown notices compliant with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512 (or other equivalent notices under applicable law) with respect to such User Content. DateWiz.Me has discretion, however, to terminate the account of any user after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon Hitwe’s own determination.
b. Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” containing the following information to the designated agent identified below. DateWiz.Me may share your Notification of Claimed Infringement with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control, and you consent to DateWiz.Me making such disclosure. Your communication must include substantially the following:
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the material(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
Identification of the material allegedly being infringed, or, if multiple materials are covered by a single notification, then a representative list of such works;
Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit DateWiz.Me to locate the material on the Service;
Information reasonably sufficient to permit DateWiz.Me to contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
You should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 or other applicable law regarding copyright infringement to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.

d. False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides that:
[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [DateWiz.Me] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
DateWiz.Me reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a false notification in violation of the law.
15. MEMBER DISPUTES.
We are not responsible for any disputes or disagreements between you and any third party you interact with using the Service. This includes disputes between users. You assume all risk associated with dealing with third parties. You agree to resolve disputes directly with the other party. You release DateWiz.Me of all claims, demands, and damages in disputes among users of the Service. You also agree not to involve us in such disputes. Use caution and common sense when using the Service. DateWiz.Me makes no representations or warranties as to the conduct of users.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (i) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND THE RELEASED PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES AS TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY BUSINESSES LISTED ON THE SERVICE, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; (ii) THE RELEASED PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT (A) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (B) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (C) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING DATA, WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, (D) THE QUALITY OF ANY DATA OR SERVICE AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND, (E) ANY ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED; AND (iii) ANY MATERIAL OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.
b. In addition to the preceding paragraph and other provisions of this Agreement, any advice that may be posted on the Service is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not intended to replace or substitute for any professional financial, medical, legal, or other advice. DateWiz.Me makes no representations or warranties and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly disclaims any and all liability concerning any treatment, action by, or effect on any person following the information offered or provided within or through the Service. If you have specific concerns or a situation arises in which you require professional or medical advice, you should consult with an appropriately trained and qualified specialist.
18. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF DateWiz.Me HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM: (A) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; (B) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH, FROM, OR AS A RESULT OF THE SERVICE; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (D) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE; (E) YOUR RELIANCE ON CONTENT OR DATA MADE AVAILABLE BY US; OR (F) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES’ MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR YOUR USE OF COMPANY CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO DateWiz.Me AND USD $100.
19. INDEMNITY BY YOU.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold DateWiz.Me, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and other partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Service in violation of this Agreement and/or arising from a breach of this Agreement and/or any breach of your representations and warranties set forth above. The Company reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with the Company in connection therewith.
20. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, there shall be no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
21. RESPONSIBILITY OF PARTIES; DISPUTES
a. Mandatory Arbitration. Please read this Section carefully. YOU AND DateWiz.Me, AND EACH OF OUR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, CORPORATE PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE, UNLESS YOU ARE LOCATED IN A JURISDICTION THAT PROHIBITS THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF ARBITRATION FOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.
b. Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 21 do not apply to any claim in which either party seeks equitable relief to protect such party’s copyrights, trademarks, or patents. For the avoidance of doubt, however, you acknowledge that, in the event DateWiz.Me or a third party breaches this Agreement, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against DateWiz.Me, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement.
c. Claims. You and DateWiz.Me agree that, notwithstanding any other rights a party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Service, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
d. Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against DateWiz.Me must be resolved in accordance with this Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section, DateWiz.Me may recover attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of its costs, provided that DateWiz.Me has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
e. Modifications. In the event that DateWiz.Me makes any future change to the “Mandatory Arbitration” paragraph set forth above (other than a change to Hitwe’s Arbitration Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Hitwe’s Arbitration Notice Address, in which case your account with DateWiz.Me and your license to use the Service will terminate immediately, and this Section, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive the termination of this Agreement.
f. Enforceability. If only the “No Class Actions” paragraph above or the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 will be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
22. GOVERNING LAW
The laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern this Agreement and your use of the Service. Your use of the Service may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws. To the extent that any action relating to any dispute hereunder is permitted to be brought in a court of law, such action will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction in such courts, and waive any defense of inconvenient forum.
23. OTHER AND AMENDMENTS.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between you and DateWiz.Me regarding the use of the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement is subject to change by DateWiz.Me at any time. If you are a non-subscribing Member at the time of any change, the revised terms will be effective upon posting on the Service and your use of the Service after such posting will constitute acceptance by you of the revised Agreement. If you are a subscribing Member at the time of any change, this Agreement will continue to govern your membership until such time that you renew your subscription as contemplated by Section 3. If you continue your subscription, your renewal will constitute acceptance by you of the revised Agreement. Alternatively, if you terminate your subscription at such time, your use of the Service after your termination will constitute re-acceptance by you of the Agreement.
The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor will a waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in this Agreement is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and DateWiz.Me as a result of this Agreement or use of the Service.
24. NOTICE REGARDING APPLE.
If you are using our mobile applications on an iOS device, the terms of this Section 24 apply. You acknowledge that this Agreement is between you and DateWiz.Me only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Service. If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any applicable purchase price for the mobile application to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Service. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession or use of the Service, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any third party claim that the Service or your possession and use of the mobile application infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights. You agree to comply with any applicable third party terms when using the Service. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of Section 24 of this Agreement, and upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Section 24 of this Agreement against you. You hereby represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED ABOVE.
