Effective Date: September 30, 2026
These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and ALINE INC., a Delaware corporation ("ALINE," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the ALINE mobile applications, public profile pages generated through the apps, aline.network pages that link to these Terms, and related features and services (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account or selecting an acceptance control when these Terms are presented to you, you agree to these Terms. If you created an account before the Effective Date, these Terms apply when you affirmatively accept them in the app. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Section 27 governs later updates and any required renewed assent. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. It is provided for notice purposes and is not incorporated into these Terms.
1 · Eligibility and Authority
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding agreement to use the Service. The Service is designed for professional networking and is not intended for children.
If you use the Service for a company, group, event, venue, school, club, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to the provisions that apply to its use. You may not use the Service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.
2 · Accounts and Security
You must provide accurate, current information and keep it updated. You are responsible for your account and for protecting access to your phone, authentication codes, and devices. Do not share one-time codes, impersonate another person, create an account for someone without authority, or transfer an account without our permission.
Notify hello@aline.network promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We may require verification before restoring access, changing key account information, processing a rights request, or providing sensitive records.
3 · The Service
ALINE is a professional networking platform. The Service may use profile information, professional goals, location and proximity signals, activity, groups, events, and automated systems to recommend people, groups, events, features, or content; facilitate introductions; and support communication before or after an in-person interaction.
The Service is not a dating service, employment agency, background-check service, consumer-reporting agency, investment adviser, placement service, or guarantor of an opportunity or outcome. ALINE does not verify every profile statement and does not endorse a user merely because the user has an account, badge, match score, group affiliation, or verification status.
We may add, remove, suspend, test, limit, or change features, providers, regional availability, or eligibility as the Service evolves. Features may differ by device, account, subscription, group, geography, or rollout. We will provide legally required notice, consent, or renewed assent when a change materially affects your rights or the processing of personal information.
4 · Identity Verification
ALINE offers optional identity verification through a third-party verification provider. The current provider may require a government-issued identification document, selfie, liveness check, and facial comparison, and may create or process facial measurements or similar representations as part of verification. ALINE currently receives verification outputs such as verification status and a face-match result or score, but does not receive the underlying government-ID image, selfie image, facial template or embedding, liveness score, or other biometric representation from Persona. An alternative verification method may be available depending on the feature and configuration.
A verification badge does not mean that ALINE conducted a criminal, employment, education, financial, sanctions, professional-license, or other background check. It does not guarantee that a person is safe, trustworthy, qualified, authorized to act for an organization, or using the Service lawfully.
5 · Location Proximity and In Person Interactions
Location, Bluetooth, ultra-wideband, motion, event check-in, QR, and other signals may be used to identify professionals who appear to be nearby or to confirm that an interaction likely occurred. These technologies are probabilistic and may be delayed, inaccurate, unavailable, or affected by devices, permissions, buildings, networks, or user behavior. Do not rely on a distance label, meeting location, match score, check-in, or notification as a precise statement of a person's location or conduct.
Meeting people in person carries risks, including misrepresentation, harassment, physical injury, theft, fraud, unwanted contact, or other misconduct. ALINE does not conduct criminal background checks or continuously monitor users. Use independent judgment, meet in public when appropriate, protect sensitive information, tell someone where you are going, and contact emergency services if you face immediate danger.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume the risks of voluntarily communicating or meeting with another user. ALINE is not responsible for another user's acts or omissions. This provision does not waive liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.
6 · Profiles Public Pages and Affiliations
You control the information you submit and are responsible for its accuracy. Do not falsely claim employment, education, credentials, group membership, endorsements, achievements, identity, or authority. Organization names, schools, brands, badges, and other references may be used only truthfully and must not imply sponsorship or endorsement that does not exist.
In the United States and Canada other than Quebec, public web profiles are enabled by default. In the EEA and United Kingdom, the public web profile is off unless you turn it on. When enabled, profile information designated for public display may be available to anyone, including search engines. Current public-profile fields may include information such as last name, employer, title, work history, and education; email address and contact links are not included on the public web profile by default. Public-profile fields and controls may change as the Service evolves. Other people may copy, cache, screenshot, or redistribute public content. Turning off a page or deleting your account does not guarantee removal of copies outside ALINE's control.
Users may upload organization names and group logos, which ALINE stores with other uploaded images. You may not upload or direct us to use a trademark, logo, or other brand asset unless you have the necessary rights. Display of an organization name or logo does not imply that the organization sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with ALINE unless we expressly say so.
7 · User Content
You retain ownership of content you submit, including profile information, files, messages, recordings, photos, videos, and group content ("User Content"). Feedback is governed by Section 16.
You grant ALINE a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display, publish, distribute, transcribe, summarize, analyze, and create technical representations of User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, provide, personalize, and improve the Service; follow your settings; enable other users or the public to receive content you choose to share or that a feature is designed to share; and use service providers for those purposes. This license includes publication of content you place on a public profile and processing needed to provide requested AI-assisted features, including summaries, follow-up messages, recommendations, or shared context.
The license ends when the content is deleted from active systems, except to the extent the content remains with another user, in a shared group or event record, in a third-party cache, in a restricted backup, in deidentified form, or where retention is reasonably necessary for safety, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement.
You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed for your User Content and that our permitted use will not violate law or another person's privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, confidentiality, contractual, or other rights.
8 · AI and Automated Features
The Service may use AI or automated systems to parse profiles and documents, create summaries or draft text, produce embeddings, rank people or content, explain matches, transcribe or summarize recaps, generate follow-up messages or shared context from messages, recaps, encounters, or match context, form event teams, detect misuse, and assist moderation.
Automated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or inappropriate. Where a feature allows, review or edit output before relying on, publishing, or sharing it. Some outputs may be generated or shared automatically and may not be editable before delivery. You are responsible for decisions you make using the output. Match percentages, rankings, explanations, badges, summaries, transcriptions, and generated text are not statements of fact, professional advice, or guarantees.
You may not use ALINE output as the sole or determinative basis for employment, recruiting, admission, compensation, lending, housing, insurance, legal, medical, investment, or another consequential decision. Organizations seeking to use ALINE for a regulated or high-impact purpose must obtain ALINE's prior written approval and complete any additional legal and technical review.
9 · Communications Recordings and Recaps
The Service may allow messages, voice notes, video introductions, and audio, video, or text recaps of an in-person interaction. A recap recording may capture another person speaking live. ALINE may use transcription and AI providers to process recap content and, for some AI-assisted features, message content or encounter and match context to generate transcripts, summaries, topics, next steps, follow-up messages, or shared context. Chat voice notes are not currently transcribed. The interface may present recording or processing notices and other feature-specific disclosures.
Before recording, uploading, transcribing, summarizing, or sharing content involving another person, you must provide any required notice and obtain every consent required by the laws that apply to all participants. Do not record a confidential communication or a person who has not agreed where consent is required. You are responsible for determining and documenting consent; an ALINE notification does not replace your legal obligations.
You authorize ALINE and its providers to process content you submit or generate through a feature for delivery, storage, transcription, summarization, AI-assisted generation, safety, and the other purposes described in the Privacy Policy or the feature interface. A completed recap may be shared automatically with the other participant and the feature may not provide the creator a pre-sharing withhold option. Participants may have controls to remove or delete a recap after sharing, but another participant, restricted backup, safety record, or other legally permitted record may retain information after you delete your account or remove the recap.
10 · Groups Events Venues and Administrators
Users may create or manage groups, communities, events, speed-networking sessions, competitions, albums, announcements, rosters, check-ins, and related features. A group or event administrator is responsible for the administrator's content, invitations, membership decisions, rules, exports, and compliance with law. Administrators are not ALINE's employees or agents merely because they use administrative tools.
Unless ALINE expressly states otherwise, a group, community, event, or similar page that uses an organization's name, trademark, or logo is not necessarily owned, controlled, sponsored, endorsed, or authorized by that organization.
By joining or participating, you understand that administrators, participating organizations, and other participants may see information described in the interface or applicable program terms, such as your profile, request, RSVP, registration, attendance, check-in, contribution, vote, leaderboard activity, referral status, or event-related interaction. Administrators may receive information not visible to ordinary users and may export event-specific attendee or check-in rosters where reasonably needed to administer the group or event. A member-facing privacy control may not restrict organizer access where that access is disclosed or reasonably necessary to provide the feature. Separate written agreements may govern ALINE's relationship with a sponsor, venue, nonprofit, pilot partner, or other organization.
ALINE may remove a group, event, administrator, or content; limit features; or require additional terms where needed for safety, law, platform policy, or contractual obligations.
11 · Referrals Invitations and Rewards
ALINE may offer referral codes, invitations, rewards, badges, leaderboards, payments, gift cards, or charitable contributions. The current user referral program is governed by the ALINE Referral Program Terms presented or linked with the Program, which are incorporated into these Terms. Additional program or promotional terms presented with an offer are also incorporated into these Terms. If applicable program terms conflict with this section regarding that program, the program terms control.
- You must be eligible, provide accurate information, and comply with all stated limits and deadlines.
- Do not send invitations without permission, use automated or bulk messaging, create false accounts, refer yourself, manipulate attribution, purchase activity, or engage in spam, deception, or fraud.
- Rewards may be subject to verification, adjustment, expiration, withholding, reversal, taxes, and provider terms. You are responsible for taxes unless law requires ALINE to withhold or report them.
- ALINE may suspend or terminate a program prospectively, disqualify abusive activity, and correct errors, subject to earned rights and applicable law.
- A chance-based promotion will be governed by separate official rules. No purchase will be required unless lawful and expressly stated.
Current reward amounts, qualification criteria, timing, redemption options, expiration, taxes, and fraud or disqualification rules are stated in the applicable Program Terms and may change prospectively as provided there. ALINE may use a third-party rewards provider and may offer group or nonprofit referral programs under separate program or partner terms.
12 · Paid Services and Subscriptions
The Service may offer paid subscriptions or other purchases in the future. Before charging you, the purchase screen will identify the price, billing period, included features, renewal terms, and method for canceling. Additional purchase terms presented at checkout are incorporated into these Terms.
If you purchase through Apple or Google, that store generally processes payment and administers cancellation and refunds under its rules. Unless the purchase screen says otherwise, subscriptions automatically renew for the stated period until canceled through the account or app-store settings. Cancel before the renewal deadline shown by the platform to avoid the next charge. Deleting the app or your ALINE account may not cancel a store subscription.
Prices and features may change prospectively after any notice required by law. Except where law or the applicable store requires otherwise, charges are nonrefundable and we do not provide credits for partially used periods. Mandatory cancellation, cooling-off, refund, and renewal rights remain unaffected.
13 · Acceptable Use
You may not use the Service to:
- violate law, these Terms, another person's rights, or applicable professional or organizational rules;
- harass, threaten, stalk, exploit, discriminate against, defame, embarrass, or harm another person;
- use the Service primarily for dating, romantic solicitation, sexual content, or unwanted personal advances;
- impersonate another person or organization, misstate an affiliation, create a deceptive account, or provide false credentials;
- upload unlawful, infringing, confidential, malicious, deceptive, or harmful content;
- record or share another person without legally sufficient notice and consent;
- send spam, unauthorized commercial solicitation, unlawful marketing, or unwanted invitations;
- scrape, harvest, index, copy, sell, broker, or build a database from Service data without written permission;
- reverse engineer, decompile, bypass, probe, interfere with, overload, or compromise the Service or its security, except to the extent law expressly permits;
- use bots, automated accounts, unauthorized scripts, or deceptive methods to manipulate matches, referrals, badges, votes, leaderboards, reviews, or engagement;
- identify or track a person's precise location, infer a home or sensitive location, or use proximity features for surveillance or stalking;
- use another user's information for employment screening, credit, housing, insurance, background checks, data brokerage, or another unauthorized consequential purpose; or
- help another person do any of the above.
14 · Moderation Reporting and Enforcement
You can use available tools to block, hide, or report a user or content. Our Community Guidelines, as updated from time to time, form part of the rules for using the Service. We may review content, reports, account information, and relevant technical records, but we do not undertake a duty to monitor every interaction or resolve every dispute.
We may remove or restrict content; reduce visibility; limit messaging, discovery, groups, events, referrals, or other features; issue warnings; preserve evidence; suspend or terminate an account; or refer a matter to law enforcement when we reasonably believe action is appropriate. Some measures may be automated. We may delay notice where notice would undermine safety, fraud prevention, or an investigation, except where applicable law requires notice at the time of the decision.
Where applicable law requires notice, reasons, an appeal, a complaint process, or another safeguard for a moderation decision, we will provide it. Automated or rule-based tools may assist with detecting spam, fraud, abuse, illegal content, or policy violations, and humans may review reports or enforcement decisions where appropriate or required. Any person may report allegedly illegal or infringing content using available in-app tools or by emailing support@aline.network with enough information to identify the content and explain the concern. For EU users, where the Digital Services Act applies, we will provide statements of reasons and other required notice or complaint mechanisms for covered restrictions. For UK users, we will maintain reporting, complaints, and illegal-content processes required by applicable online-safety law.
15 · ALINE Intellectual Property and App License
ALINE and its licensors own the Service, software, designs, interfaces, text, graphics, trademarks, data models, ranking and proximity technology, and other materials, excluding User Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you.
Subject to these Terms, ALINE grants you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to install and use the app and access the Service for lawful personal or internal professional-networking purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly permitted.
If you use an Apple version, the license is limited to Apple-branded products you own or control and use permitted by the Apple Media Services Usage Rules, including permitted Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or legacy-contact use. App-store rules may permit additional use.
Copyright complaints
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(3) to: ALINE Copyright Agent, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808; privacy@aline.network; 484-416-6111. ALINE may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and may provide the notice to the person who supplied the material. That person may submit a counter-notice as permitted by 17 U.S.C. section 512(g). ALINE may terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright.
16 · Feedback
If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant ALINE a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and commercialize it without restriction or compensation. Do not submit confidential information through feedback channels unless we have agreed in writing to receive it as confidential.
17 · Third Party Services
The Service may link to or interoperate with third-party services you choose to use, including app stores, calendars, maps, professional-profile sources, payment providers, reward providers, and websites. Those third parties' terms and privacy practices govern their own services. ALINE also uses service providers to operate the Service; their processing on ALINE's behalf is described in the Privacy Policy. ALINE is not responsible for third-party services, and a link or integration does not imply endorsement.
18 · Communications
You agree to receive electronic notices related to your account and the Service. We may send transactional or service messages by email, push notification, in-app message, or SMS where permitted. Message and data rates may apply. You may manage nonessential communications through the available controls, but account, safety, legal, and transactional notices may continue while necessary. Promotional or other commercial electronic messages will include any sender-identification and unsubscribe information required by applicable law.
If you invite another person, you represent that you have permission to contact that person and will not use the invitation feature for spam or unlawful marketing. The current invitation feature prepares text on your device, but you choose the recipient and send the message through your device; ALINE does not send the invitation for you.
19 · Suspension Termination and Account Deletion
You may stop using the Service and may request account deletion through the available settings or support channel. You remain responsible for charges incurred before cancellation and must separately cancel any app-store subscription.
We may suspend, limit, or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create risk or possible legal exposure, threaten safety or security, engage in fraud or abuse, fail to pay an amount due, or if the Service or a feature is discontinued. We will provide notice where reasonably practicable and legally required.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination remain effective, including provisions concerning ownership, content already shared, fees, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes, and general terms.
20 · Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." ALINE DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE.
ALINE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR AVAILABLE IN A PARTICULAR LOCATION; THAT A MATCH, USER, PROFILE, BADGE, GROUP, EVENT, IDENTITY CHECK, DISTANCE, TRANSCRIPTION, SUMMARY, OR RECOMMENDATION IS ACCURATE; OR THAT USE WILL PRODUCE A PROFESSIONAL, FINANCIAL, SOCIAL, OR OTHER RESULT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow particular disclaimers, so some of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
21 · Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALINE AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITIES; OR HARM ARISING FROM ANOTHER USER, AN IN-PERSON INTERACTION, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR RELIANCE ON CONTENT OR AUTOMATED OUTPUT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALINE AND THE OTHER ALINE PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID ALINE FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US $100.
The exclusions and cap do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as, where applicable law so provides, liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or violation of mandatory consumer rights.
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the ALINE parties from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your User Content, unlawful conduct, infringement of another person's rights, unauthorized recordings or invitations, operation of a group or event, or material violation of these Terms. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from ALINE's own unlawful conduct and does not limit nonwaivable consumer rights.
22 · Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
This Section 22 applies only if you reside in the United States. Please read it carefully. It affects the forum and manner in which disputes are resolved.
Informal resolution
Before filing arbitration or a lawsuit, the claimant must send a written notice describing the claimant's name and account, the facts and legal basis of the dispute, the requested relief, and contact information. Send notices to privacy@aline.network and ALINE INC., 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days after receipt. A limitations period is tolled during that 60-day period where permitted by law.
Agreement to individual arbitration
Except for the exceptions below and subject to nonwaivable law, you and ALINE agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service, these Terms, or the relationship between you and ALINE will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. One neutral arbitrator will decide the dispute. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
The hearing will be conducted virtually unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person hearing will occur at a location permitted under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and reasonably accessible to the consumer, as agreed by the parties or determined by the arbitrator. Fees will be allocated under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, subject to applicable law. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies a court could award and will issue a reasoned written decision upon request.
Exceptions
Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court. Either party may seek temporary or preliminary court relief necessary to prevent imminent unauthorized access, misuse, or infringement of intellectual-property rights while arbitration is pending. A public agency may pursue an enforcement action within its authority. Nothing in this Section waives any right to seek public injunctive relief or another remedy that applicable law does not permit to be waived or arbitrated. This Section also does not require arbitration of a dispute to the extent the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act permits the person alleging sexual assault or sexual harassment to elect a judicial forum. Other claims or remedies that applicable law makes nonarbitrable may proceed in the required forum.
Class action and jury trial waivers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND ALINE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER A REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITHOUT EVERY AFFECTED PARTY'S WRITTEN CONSENT.
Mass arbitration administration
If the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules apply to coordinated or similar demands, those supplementary rules will govern the administration of the affected demands. This sentence does not authorize consolidation of claims beyond what those rules and applicable law permit.
Attorneys' fees
Except where applicable law provides otherwise, each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and expenses. The arbitrator may award attorneys' fees or costs to the extent authorized or required by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits a party's right to recover attorneys' fees or costs under a statute or other law that provides for such recovery.
Thirty day opt out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written notice within 30 days after you first accept a version of these Terms containing this Section 22. The notice must include your full name, the phone number or email associated with the account, an unequivocal statement that you opt out of arbitration, and your signature, which may be a typed name if the notice is sent by email. Send it to privacy@aline.network or ALINE INC., 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. Opting out will not affect other provisions or your access to the Service.
Existing users and prior disputes
For an existing user, this Section 22 becomes effective only after the user affirmatively accepts a version of the Terms containing it. It applies prospectively to claims arising after that acceptance. A claim arising earlier remains governed by the terms and dispute provisions in effect when the claim arose, and this Section does not alter the forum for a matter already filed in court or arbitration.
Severability and jurisdictional limits
A court, not an arbitrator, will decide whether the class or representative-action waiver is enforceable. If another portion of this arbitration agreement is unenforceable, it will be severed to the minimum extent necessary, except that if the class or representative-action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will proceed in court after any arbitrable matters are resolved. This Section does not apply to the extent binding pre-dispute arbitration or an individual-action waiver is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law.
23 · Governing Law and Courts
The Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 22. Except to the extent mandatory local law applies, these Terms and nonarbitrable disputes are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 22, the state and federal courts located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania will have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and ALINE consent to those courts.
If you are a consumer in Canada, the EEA, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protections, you retain the benefit of those protections and may bring a claim in any court or forum made available by nonwaivable local law.
24 · Apple and Google Terms
Apple
If you obtained the app through Apple, you and ALINE acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ALINE, not Apple, and ALINE is solely responsible for the app and its content. ALINE is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services required by these Terms or applicable law, and Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. ALINE is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and ALINE is responsible for other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to an applicable warranty.
ALINE, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation. If a third party claims that the app or your possession or use of it infringes that party's intellectual-property rights, ALINE, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging the claim. You represent that you are not located in a region subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism and are not on a U.S. Government prohibited or restricted-party list. You must comply with applicable third-party terms. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple will have, and will be deemed to have accepted, the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
If you obtained the app through Google Play, Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app, support, warranties, or claims relating to the app. Your use is also subject to the applicable Google Play terms and policies.
25 · International Consumer Terms
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be waived under the laws of your habitual residence. If mandatory law gives you a cancellation, withdrawal, refund, conformity, repair, replacement, or other consumer right, that law controls. Where you request immediate access to a digital service during a statutory withdrawal period, we may ask for an acknowledgment or consent required by local law.
26 · General Terms
These Terms and any additional terms presented for a feature constitute the entire agreement concerning the Service and supersede prior terms on the same subject. The Privacy Policy is a notice describing how ALINE handles personal information, not a contractual promise incorporated into these Terms. If additional terms conflict with these Terms, the additional terms control for that feature to the extent of the conflict.
If we do not enforce a provision, we do not waive it. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will remain effective. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, transfer of the Service, or by operation of law.
Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation." Electronic records and signatures may be used. A party is not liable for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations.
27 · Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post the revised version and provide additional notice when a change is material. Changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date. If law or the nature of the change requires renewed assent, we will request it before continued use.
