Registration data and certain other information about you are also governed by our Privacy Policy. In addition, when using the Service, you must either be the owner of the voice and/or data plan for the applicable mobile device or have that person's authorization and consent to use the Service on the mobile device.

2.8 Subscriptions

By signing up for one of our subscription-based services ("Subscriptions") and providing Block Apps LLC with your payment account information, you hereby agree to these payment terms and conditions. If you choose to subscribe to one of our Subscriptions, you agree to sign up for an auto-renewing subscription requiring recurring payments and agree to pay the then current applicable Subscription fee listed in the agreement. You will be billed for the subscription either through your credit card or through your intermediary provider such as iTunes, Google Play, or a similar app store (the "App Store"). The fee will be billed on a monthly, weekly, or yearly basis from the date you first subscribe to the Subscription, and automatically on each renewal date thereafter, unless and until you cancel your Subscription. All fees and charges are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

Credit Card Billing: Credit card payments are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. In-app payments are processed by Apple or Google. If your Subscription is based on credit card billing, we will automatically charge your credit card monthly, weekly, or yearly, based on your selection. If any fee is not paid in a timely manner, or we are unable to process your transaction using the credit card information provided, we reserve the right to revoke access to your Subscription and any applicable Services.

Cancellation: Your Subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your Subscription or we terminate it. You may cancel your Subscription any time before each renewal date in order to avoid billing of the next period's Subscription fee. If you have purchased a subscription from an App Store (e.g. Google Play Store or Apple App Store), follow the cancellation procedure for that platform. If you choose to cancel your Subscription, you may use the Subscription until the end of the current period but will not be issued a refund for the most recently (or any previously) charged fees.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

As detailed herein, the Terms of Service mandate that any dispute, claim or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) between you and Block Apps LLC that arises out of or relates to the Services or these Terms of Service, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment, non-payment, or the timing of any administrative or arbitrator fees (collectively, "Disputes") be resolved first through an informal dispute resolution process. In the event informal resolution fails, the Terms of Service further mandate that all Disputes be formally resolved through binding arbitration.

10.1 Federal Arbitration Act

The parties agree that this Terms of Service affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

10.2 Initial Dispute Resolution

The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any Dispute through the informal dispute process set forth below. Good faith negotiations through this process shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. To initiate informal dispute resolution, the initiating party must first send a written description of the Dispute to the other party. For any Dispute against Block Apps LLC that you initiate, you agree to send to our Customer Service Department, at support@joinghostapp.com: (a) a written description of the dispute and (b) the email address(es) associated with your account.

If the parties' Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written description of the dispute by a party, you and Block Apps LLC agree to resolve any remaining dispute through binding arbitration.

10.3 Binding Arbitration

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution begins, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below and the National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM") rules. The parties understand that an arbitrator and not a judge or jury will decide the Dispute, and that rights to discovery and appeals may be limited in arbitration.

10.4 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND BLOCK APPS LLC ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIM. This provision does not prevent you or Block Apps LLC from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

10.5 Opt-Out

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by these arbitration provisions by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to support@joinghostapp.com. The notice must be sent within thirty days of being subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Block Apps LLC also will not be bound by them.

11. Termination

You agree that Block Apps LLC, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and permanently remove access to the Service or any assigned numbers, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Block Apps LLC believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter and/or spirit of these Terms of Service.

The failure of Block Apps LLC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
