- Thumbs Up may make certain products and/or services available to users of the App in consideration of a subscription fee or other fees (“Paid Services”), including the ability to purchase products, services and enhancements, such as the ability to create multiple templates or use premium templates (“In-App Purchases”). If you choose to use the Paid Services or purchase In-App Purchases, you acknowledge and agree that additional terms may apply to your use of, access to and purchase of such Paid Services and In-App Purchases, and such additional terms are incorporated herein by reference.
- You may purchase Paid Services and In-App Purchases through the following payment methods (each, a “Payment Method”): (a) making a purchase through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or other mobile or web application platforms or storefronts authorized by us (each, a “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 requested a Paid Service or In-App Purchase, you authorize us to charge your chosen Payment Method and your payment is non- refundable. If payment is not received by us from your chosen Payment Method, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand by us. If you want to cancel or change your Payment Method at any time, you can do so via the Third Party Store. Your subscription to the Paid Services will automatically renew until you decide to cancel in accordance with such terms.
- In the event of a conflict between a Third Party Store’s terms and conditions and these Terms, the terms and conditions of the Third Party Store or service provider shall govern and control. We are not responsible and have no liability whatsoever for goods or services you obtain through the Third Party Store, our third party service providers or other web sites or web pages. We encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online transaction with any of these third parties.
- If you choose to purchase an In-App Purchase, you will be prompted to enter details for your account with the Third Party Store you are using (e.g., Android, Apple, etc.) (the “Mobile Platform Account”), and your Mobile Platform Account will be charged for the Paid Service and/or In-App Purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase, as well as the general terms applicable to all other in-app purchases made through your Mobile Platform Account (e.g., Apple App Store, etc.). Paid Services and In-App Purchase may include one-time purchases as well as monthly subscriptions (e.g., a one-month subscription, six-month subscription, one-year subscription, etc.) to additional account features.
- At the end of the free trial period (if any), you will be charged the price of the subscription and will continue to be charged until you cancel your subscription. Please note that for Paid Services and In-App Purchase bought on a subscription basis, your subscription will automatically renew for the same subscription period as you initially purchased (e.g., if you bought an In-App Purchase on a six-month subscription, your subscription will be automatically renewed for an additional six- months). To avoid any charges for additional periods, you must cancel before the end of the free trial period, subscription period or renewal, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of your Mobile Platform Account and the terms and conditions of any applicable Third Party Store.
- Thumbs Up reserves the right to change the prices of any Paid Service or In-App Purchase at any time and for any reason.
- You agree that Paid Services and In-App Purchases will be billed continuously for the subscription or service until you cancel in accordance with your Mobile Platform Account’s or your Payment Method’s terms. In all cases, we are not responsible and have no liability whatsoever for any payment processing errors (including card processing, identity verification, analysis and regulatory compliance) or fees or other service-related issues, including those issues that may arise from inaccurate account information, or products or goods you obtain through your Mobile Platform Account or Third Party Stores. Any descriptions and images of, and references to, products or services (including Paid Services or In-App Purchases) do not imply our or any of our affiliates’ endorsement of such products
or services. Further, Thumbs Up explicitly reserves the right, with or without prior notice, for any reason, to change product descriptions, images, and references; to limit the available quantity of any Service; to honor, or impose conditions on the honoring of, any coupon, coupon code, promotional code or other similar promotions; to bar any user from conducting any or all transaction(s); and/or to refuse to provide any user with any Service.

We strongly encourage you to review the terms and conditions of the applicable third party payment processors, Third Party Store or Mobile Platform Account before you make any In-App Purchases or Paid Service purchases.
- The following additional terms and conditions apply to you if you download the Service 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 Service and the Third Party Store. You acknowledge and agree that:
a. These Terms are concluded solely between you and Thumbs Up and not with the providers of the Third Party Store, and Thumbs Up (and not the Third Party Store providers) is solely responsible for the Service and the content thereof.
b. To the extent that these Terms provide rules for the Service which are less restrictive or in conflict with the applicable terms of service of the Third Party Store from which you obtain the Service, the more restrictive or conflicting term of the Third Party Store will take precedence and will apply.
c. The Third Party Store provider has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the Service. Thumbs Up is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed.
d. Thumbs Up, not the Third Party Store provider, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the Service or your use of the Service.

VIII. INDEMNIFICATION
You (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or activity on the Service) agree to defend (at Thumbs Up’s request), indemnify and hold the Thumbs Up Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf): (i) your Content or your access to or use of the Service; (ii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (iv) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; (v) the actions of any Poster with whom you utilized the Service; and (vi) any misrepresentation made by you. You will cooperate as fully required by Thumbs Up in the defense of any claim. Thumbs Up reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of Thumbs Up.
IX. GOVERNING LAW, VENUE, AND FORUM; NO WAIVER
These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms of Use or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with Thumbs Up exclusively in a state or federal court located in Orlando, Florida, and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Orange County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Thumbs Up’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. Thumbs Up reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with Thumbs Up.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, the use of the Service, or the Content shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Orlando, Florida. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
X. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Thumbs Up and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Thumbs Up. You will not assign the Terms of Use or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Thumbs Up. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Thumbs Up will be null and void. Thumbs Up may assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder without your consent. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that such portion will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms of Use. These Terms of Use do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights. The captions used in these Terms of Use are for the convenience of the parties only and will not be interpreted to enlarge, contract, or alter the terms and provisions of these Terms of Use. If any term or provision of these Terms of Use is held to be void or unenforceable, that term or provision will be severed from these Terms of Use, the balance of these Terms of Use will survive, and the balance of these Terms of Use will be reasonably construed to carry out the intent of the parties as evidenced by the terms of these Terms of Use.
CCPA Addendum to Thumbs Up’s Privacy Policies: Compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information (“PI”). This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your PI over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
• The categories of PI we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the PI we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that PI.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that PI.
• The specific pieces of PI we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If we disclosed your PI for a business purpose, identifying the PI categories that each category of recipient obtained.
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your PI that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your PI from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
• Complete the transaction for which we collected the PI, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you or otherwise perform our contract with you.
• Detect security incidents; protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the
information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability and deletion rights described in the Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights and Deletion Request Rights sections, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
• Calling us at 407-212-7824
• Emailing us at info@getathumbsup.com.
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your PI. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected PI or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with PI if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the PI relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use PI provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your PI that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
Changes to Our Privacy Notice
We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website home page.
