We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, for any reason, and without explanation, effective upon sending a written notice to you.


You may terminate your account at any time, for any reason, without explanation, by going to the "Settings" in the Services. However, in order to manage or cancel any Paid Services purchase made via a third party’s account, such as Apple’s App Store or Google Play Store, you should use such accounts to avoid additional bailing.


When you terminate your Lovester account, we save your information for three (3) months from the day you delete your account, in case you later decide to restore it. For further details about your information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.


Once your account is terminated, the Agreement will terminate, except all provisions which by their nature should survive termination of the Agreement, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, disclaimers, dispute resolution provisions, and limitations of liability.

We may suspend or end the Services entirely. In such cases, we will notify you in advance unless extenuating circumstances.

Payment Terms

It is free to register and use the Services. However, Lovester may offer certain features, services, or products for purchase (“Paid Service(s)”) for which a fee will be payable through the App Store, Google Play Store, carrier billing, or other payment platforms authorized by Lovester (“Payment Platform(s)”), using the convenient payment method such as your Apple Pay Wallet, your Google Pay Account, or your credit or debit card (“Payment Method(s)”), upon confirmation of the purchase of the Paid Services.


The purchases you make through the Payment Platforms are charged by these platforms and are subject to the Agreement and to the terms of the relevant Payment Platform. You must review the terms of the Payment Platform you select.


When you choose to purchase the Paid Services, you agree to pay the applicable fees and taxes in accordance with the applicable Payment Method and the used Payment Platform’s billing terms that are in effect at the time of purchase.


We currently offer weekly, monthly, 3-month and 6-month subscriptions and we offer promotional rates.


The Paid Services fees are clearly displayed on the Services. We may change such fees from time to time and display the changes on the Services. We may notify you in advance about such changes.


Lovester operates a global business, thus, your purchase of the Paid Services may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on a number of factors.

Auto-renewal:

Your subscription to certain Paid Services will automatically renew for an additional equivalent period and at the price you agreed upon during the purchase process unless auto-renewal is cancelled or terminated at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel or terminate the auto-renewal payment by contacting the relevant Payment Platform directly or by following their prompts and instructions. In case of a subscription cancellation or termination, you will remain able to use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term, your subscription will not be renewed after that, but you remain obliged to pay any outstanding amounts. Cancellation or termination will not affect your obligation to pay the total contractual amount due on your subscription.


If you would like to object to a payment you made, you can contact the relevant Payment Platform or your bank or payment provider, who can provide further information.


By not cancelling or terminating your Paid Services subscription you confirm that we may charge your Payment Method. Deleting your Lovester account or uninstalling the Lovester application from your device does not terminate or cancel your subscription.


Storage and use of payment information:

During the purchasing process of any Paid Services, you will be required to provide certain Payment Method information such as your credit card number. You agree that all information that you provide to us will be accurate, complete and current. You may edit your Payment Method information by going to Lovester's settings.


You acknowledge and agree that such information will be stored and used for automatic payment in accordance with the Agreement.


Unless you edit your Payment Method information, terminate or cancel your subscription, you agree that in the event any problem arises in the payment process which prevents the purchase of the Paid Services from being accomplished, (for example, you do not have enough funds in your account or your card has expired), we will continue billing the Payment Method until the amount due is paid in full since you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, and we may terminate your subscription to the unpaid Paid Service. You acknowledge and agree that we may attempt to obtain updated Payment Method information, and that we may add such information to your Lovester account and use it to process future Paid Services purchases.


Refunds

Generally, all fees and charges for Paid Services are non-refundable and Lovester does not make any refunds or credits for any partially used Paid Services except as expressly provided in the Agreement, as required by applicable law or at Lovester’s discretion.

You agree to contact us within 30 days from the day the Disagreement arises by sending an email at legal@lovester.net and a written registered letter with an acknowledgement of receipt at the following address: 201 Cayan Tower, Al Barsha Heights, Teacom, P.O.Box: 214930 DUBAI - United Arab Emirates.

Both written notifications (email and registered letter with an acknowledgement of receipt ) must include your name and address, a description of the Disagreement, and the specific relief you seek.

If the Disagreement has not been resolved within 60 days from the date of receipt of the letter, the Parties may have recourse to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement or to the courts when the Arbitration Agreement is unenforceable. Please find more details about the Arbitration Agreement here below.

Governing law:

In the event that the Arbitration Agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, and unless prohibited by local law, you agree that the laws of Dubai, U.A.E. will apply to any Disagreement, without regard to its conflict of laws rules that would require the application of the law of a different state or jurisdiction

For the sake of clarity, the choice of Dubai law shall not exclude, limit or supersede any mandatory consumer protection legislation in the jurisdiction where the consumer resides.

Venue:

To the extent permissible by applicable law, and , you agree that any appeals of an arbitration award or in the event where the Arbitration Agreement is held to be unenforceable, any Disagreements shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Dubai, U.A.E.

You agree to waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections or claims to such courts

In accordance with the Agreement, you still have the right to seek equitable relief at any time.

Arbitration

In accordance with the Arbitration Agreement, when a Disagreement with the exception of claims appropriately brought in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction is not resolved by the informal Disagreement resolution process (as provided above), both Parties may have recourse to arbitration (or to the courts when the Arbitration Agreement is unenforceable).

Arbitration is the process of solving an argument between the parties by submitting the procedure to a neutral arbitrator (and not a judge or jury in a public court) who makes a binding decision. Arbitration is a private dispute resolution procedure that replaces the right to go to court. Arbitration proceedings are often simpler than litigations handled in the court, and usually provide a more prompt and efficient resolution.

To the extent permissible by applicable law, the present Section 14 of the Terms is an arbitration agreement between you and Lovester (the “Parties”) that applies exclusively to all Disagreements (the “Arbitration Agreement”), except when the one of the Parties appropriately bring a claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal Disagreement resolution process.

For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, “Lovester” means ZSZ Technology Limited, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees.

BY USING ANY OF THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS AND PRACTICES SET OUT IN THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT, AND BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND LOVESTER WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.

Thus, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN COURT and all opportunities to be heard by a judge or jury (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR CLAIMS (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action). Thus, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, unless the Parties agree in writing otherwise.

Severability: Except for the class action waiver as provided hereinabove, if any part or parts of the Arbitration Agreement are found be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
If the class action waiver part is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be unenforceable, and the Disagreements will be decided by a court.

Confidentiality: The Parties can request from the arbitrator that all information disclosed in the arbitration shall be treated with confidentiality and used or disclosed only in connection with arbitration. The arbitrator can issue an order establishing such provisions.

Language: The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings will be English, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.

Venue and Governing Law: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event where the Arbitration Agreement is held to be unenforceable, any Disagreements shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Dubai, U.A.E., and the laws of Dubai, U.A.E. will apply, in accordance with the Terms.

Survival of the Arbitration Agreement: The Arbitration Agreement will continue, even after your relationship with Lovester and your use of the Services has ended.
