1. Description and Use of the Services

Services Description: The services provided by Ask Katina are designed to deliver personalized insights based on user-submitted questions and interactions, offering guidance and advice tailored to individual needs. Our Services may include generating personalized readings and insights based on user-provided information, helping users understand their situations, and fostering connections through communication features.

The content of the readings on the Ask Katina website and application is entirely fictional and produced solely for entertainment purposes. It does not provide any information about the future and does not contain any accuracy. The comments on Ask Katina are presented in the style of traditional fortune-telling language for conversational and entertainment purposes. The content provided by commentators may lead to misunderstandings, and therefore, it may not be suitable for children and individuals with mental incapacity.

In addition to personalized readings, Ask Katina may offer features that allow users to record personal thoughts, or track experiences. These records are private and not accessible by the community. The app may also enable interaction with the Ask Katina community through shared experiences or discussion features, allowing users to exchange ideas and engage in community-based conversations.

Subject to your strict compliance with these Terms, Ask Katina grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, personal, and non-transferable license to: (i) download, display, and view the readings on a personal device (such as a mobile phone or tablet) for your personal, non-commercial use. This limited license does not grant you any ownership of, or any intellectual property rights to, readings or other content within the app. Ask Katina reserves the right to suspend or terminate this license at any time, at its sole discretion and without prior notice.

When using the readings or any other content, you must respect the intellectual property and other rights of Ask Katina and third parties. Unauthorized use of any content may violate copyright, trademark, privacy, or other applicable laws and may result in liability, including potential criminal penalties.

2. Eligibility

Certain features of the app, however, may be restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older.

Ask Katina reserves the right to prohibit the use of the Services by individuals who are registered sex offenders or who violate any applicable laws.

Ask Katina may collect anonymous usage information, as well as device, location, and network usage data, while ensuring it does not violate privacy, for the purpose of improving service quality. Ask Katina may use this anonymous information for statistical and performance evaluations, annual reports, and similar reports, as well as for Ask Katina and its partners' marketing campaigns and for the marketing of mobile operators' data services.

10. Purchases

Ask Katina may offer products and services for purchase through a subscription or other in-app purchases (“subscription” or “in-app purchase”) via Apple iTunes, Google Play, or other third-party payment platforms (collectively, "External Party Store") authorized by the Service. If you choose to make a subscription or in-app purchase, you will be prompted to confirm your purchase with the applicable payment provider. Your payment method, whether it is your card or a third-party account such as iTunes or Google Play (“Payment Method”), will be charged the prices displayed for the services you select, including any applicable sales or similar taxes. By making a purchase, you authorize Ask Katina or the third-party platform to charge your Payment Method.

By making a subscription or in-app purchase, you agree that additional terms and conditions from the applicable External Party Store may apply to your use, access, and purchase. These additional terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. Ask Katina is not responsible for any payment processing errors that may occur when using an External Party Store. We recommend reviewing the terms and conditions of any External Party Store before making a purchase.

For subscriptions or in-app purchases, billing will continue according to the manner you selected until you cancel the subscription or in-app purchase, in accordance with the terms of the applicable External Party Store. Note that some features and content are available for free in limited quantities so that you can experience the Service before making a purchase. We encourage you to make purchases thoughtfully.

Please note that using the Ask Katina Service does not require a subscription, and canceling your subscription does not delete your account or profile. To delete your account, follow the termination procedures within the App. Ask Katina reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account without refund for any subscription or in-app purchase if the user violates these Terms of Service or our Community Guidelines.

Automatic Renewal

If you purchase a subscription, it will automatically renew for the same subscription period as originally purchased. To avoid future charges, you must cancel your subscription before the end of any free trial period, subscription period, or renewal. This cancellation must follow the terms and conditions of the External Party Store, such as Apple iTunes or Google Play. Deleting your account or the App from your device does not automatically cancel your subscription. Any purchases made via the App Store must be canceled or refunded directly through Apple.

IF YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR THE SAME SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD/TERMS AS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. TO AVOID FUTURE CHARGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF ANY FREE TRIAL PERIOD, SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, OR RENEWAL.
