(ii) Teacher Accounts. Teacher accounts may only be registered by an Adult who is currently employed by a school, school district, licensed childcare facility, or other licensed educational institution or educational program (“Educational Institution”) (an “Educator”).

The Educator’s employment status must be independently verifiable, and the Educator may only use or facilitate the use of the Teacher account for students of the Educational Institution for which the Educator has authorization. If an Educator wishes to use the Services for their own family, they must register for a Family account. By registering for a Teacher account, you represent and warrant that (a) you have permission from your Educational Institution to enter into these terms on its behalf and to use the Services in connection with learning activities, and (b) your use of the Services and provision of student data through the Services complies with all obligations you and your Educational Institution have under applicable laws, including without limitation the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Should you at any time no longer be employed by your Educational Institution or no longer receive permission from it to use the Services, you agree to notify the Company immediately. Teacher accounts are free and offered at the Company’s sole discretion, and we reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or change the terms for individual or all Teacher accounts at any time and for any reason, except with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of child user data, which we will handle in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
B. Passwords and Account Access. An adult user who must be at least 18 years old is designated for each account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information.

If we learn that an unauthorized user has created an account, we may obtain confirmation of the user’s status or deactivate the account.
C. Account Fees. We may charge a fee for certain types of accounts, such as an account fee or subscription fee. For existing subscribers, we may change your fee at any time at our sole discretion at the end of your subscription period. All fees are payable in accordance with the payment terms in effect at the time the fee or charge is due. We may offer trial subscriptions for promotional purposes to provide access to the Services free of charge or at specially reduced prices. If you sign up for a trial subscription, your rights to use the Services are limited by the terms of such trial subscription and will end or renew in accordance with the terms of your trial subscription and/or applicable additional terms. Please note that in the event of a price reduction or promotional offer for new subscribers, we do not offer price protection or refunds for existing subscribers.
(i) Authorization to Bill for Services. You must use either a credit card, debit card, or other payment mechanism accepted by us (e.g., Google Play Store, Apple’s iTunes App Store) (“Payment Mechanism”) to activate and maintain a paid account. You authorize us to charge you through the Payment Mechanism you use when registering for an account. You are also responsible for fees for all products or services you order that are offered for sale through the Services, including specific features of our products and/or services, such as Fun Face, Camera, Calls, and Voice Recognition Prototype. In the event that we do not receive payment through the Payment Mechanism you use, you agree to pay all amounts due upon our request and are solely responsible for any disputes with your payment provider. Should the provided payment mechanism initially be declined due to insufficient funds or other reasons, we reserve the right to attempt to charge the payment mechanism in full or in smaller installments of the originally incurred fee. You will not be charged more than the amount for which you purchased your account subscription. You bear sole responsibility for all overdraft fees and/or penalties that may be charged by your payment provider. We use a third party to process payments on our behalf. You acknowledge and agree that in the event the third-party payment processor suffers a data breach that affects your data through no fault of the Company, the Company is not responsible or liable to you in any way for such breach.
(ii) Subscription Renewal. By activating an account, you agree that we may automatically renew your subscription for the same term on the day after your previous subscription expires, and you authorize us to charge you for the subscription term, unless you cancel your account before the renewal date in accordance with the procedures described in the “Subscription Cancellation” section below. We will charge your credit card (or other payment method you originally used) annually, monthly, or for any other applicable period (depending on the term you selected) at the then-current price.
(iii) Subscription Cancellation. Unless you purchased your subscription through Apple’s iTunes App Store, you may cancel your account before the renewal date through the “Manage My Subscription” section in the “Parents” area of the app or by contacting our customer service to cancel your subscription and avoid future billing. In this case, you should know that we strive to process customer requests within 24 hours; however, we cannot guarantee that your cancellation will be registered within this timeframe. We accept all cancellations received before the renewal date, except for iTunes App Store subscriptions. If you downloaded our app through Apple’s iTunes App Store, you must follow the cancellation instructions provided in the iTunes App Store. For all accounts, you will continue to have access to your account for the period you have already paid for in advance. If you activated a paid account at a discounted price or special price, opted for installment payments, and then canceled this account before all installments were paid, the period after cancellation during which your account remains accessible will be calculated based on the non-discounted price in effect at the time of cancellation. After you cancel your account, we will no longer charge you subscription fees after your current subscription expires. Please note that we do not provide full or partial refunds for amounts paid in advance. In any case, you may continue to use the Services during the remaining period of the subscription for which you have already paid.

7. Applicable Law/Jurisdiction.
A. Applicable Law/Jurisdiction. THESE TERMS AND ALL ADDITIONAL TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, REGARDLESS OF CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.
B. Arbitration and Dispute Resolution. In the event that a controversy, claim, or dispute arises from or relates to the Services or these terms (collectively referred to as a “Dispute”), you and we agree to the following procedure for resolving the Dispute. To resolve a dispute as efficiently as possible, you and we agree to first discuss the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. For this purpose, the party wishing to raise the dispute must first send a notice to the other party that must include (1) a description of the dispute and (2) a proposed solution (together the “Dispute Notice”). If you wish to raise a dispute, you must send your Dispute Notice by certified mail to us: Ahoiii Entertainment UG, Gilbachstr. 24, 50672 Cologne. If we subsequently wish to discuss your dispute resolution notice with you, we will contact you using the contact information contained in your dispute resolution notice. If we wish to raise a dispute, we will send you our Dispute Notice to the email address we have on file for you. If we do not have a valid email address on file for you, we will send you our dispute resolution notice by certified mail.
If you and the Company do not reach an amicable solution within 30 days of receiving the dispute resolution notice, you and the Company agree that the dispute shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. The arbitration will be heard and decided by a single neutral arbitrator who is an attorney or retired judge, who will conduct the proceedings in accordance with the AAA’s supplementary procedures for consumer-related disputes. In resolving the dispute, the arbitrator will consider applicable law, the provisions of these terms and any additional terms, and any facts arising from the documents and on no other basis, and will issue a reasoned decision. If a party properly submits the dispute to the AAA for arbitration and the AAA is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within sixty (60) days of filing a “Demand for Arbitration,” then either party may choose to have the arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) and decided by a single neutral arbitrator who is an attorney or retired judge, applying JAMS’s simplified arbitration rules and procedures, or by another arbitration administration service that you and we agree to. Information about AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fees can be obtained as follows:
AAA: 800.778.7879 JAMS: 800.352.5267 http://www.adr.org http://www.jamsadr.com
(i) Nature, Limitations, and Location of Alternative Dispute Resolution. In arbitration, as in court, the arbitrator will resolve the dispute presented and may issue a decision in accordance with this Section 6. However, in arbitration there is no judge or jury; the arbitration proceeding and arbitration are subject to certain confidentiality rules; and judicial review of the arbitration outcome is limited. All parties involved in the arbitration have the right to be represented by an attorney or other representative of their choice at their own expense. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you reside at the time the dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will bear the administrative and arbitrator fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules, but if the applicable arbitration rules or laws require us to pay a greater portion or all of the fees and costs for this Section 6 to be enforceable, then we have the right to pay the fees and costs and proceed with the arbitration. Discovery will be permitted in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator’s decision must consist of a written statement setting out the individual claims of the dispute and must include a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and any award are based. Judgment on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.
(ii) Small Claims are Excluded. Either of us may bring a qualifying dispute in small claims court.
C. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 do not apply to legal action taken by either party to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with an intellectual property claim or a claim related to unauthorized access to data through the Services (including but not limited to claims related to patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as claims related to accessing or retrieving data through the Services, including through certain features of our products and/or services, using an automated process such as scraping).
D. Timing of Claim. To enable prompt and direct resolution of issues between you and us, you and the Company agree that a dispute resolution notice must be sent within one year of the occurrence of the events that led to the dispute, or an injunctive action under this Section 6 must be filed; otherwise, the dispute is barred.
E. No Class Actions. You and the Company agree that all disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with other arbitrations or other proceedings involving claims or disputes of another party.

9. Limitation of Liability.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANY COMPANY PARTY BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, including personal injury or death, or for direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages directly or indirectly related to the Services:
The Services (including Content and User-Generated Content and specific functionalities of our products and/or services); Your use or inability to use the Services, or the performance of the Services; the failure of a child using the Services to learn or otherwise derive educational benefit from them; any actions taken in connection with an investigation by Company Parties or law enforcement agencies regarding your access to or use of the Services, including specific functionalities of our products and/or services; any actions taken in connection with copyright holders or other intellectual property holders or other rights holders; Any errors or omissions in the technical operation of the Services; or Any damage to a user’s computer, hardware, software, modem, or other equipment or technology, including damage from security breaches or viruses, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omissions, interruptions, defects, delays in operation or transmission, computer line or network failures, or other technical or other malfunctions, including losses or damages in the form of lost profits, loss of goodwill, data loss, work interruptions, inaccurate results, or equipment failures or malfunctions.
The foregoing liability limitations apply even if any of the events or circumstances was foreseeable and even if the Company Parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action in contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of God, telecommunications failure, or destruction of the Services).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages of the type described above, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
UNLESS PROVIDED IN ADDITIONAL TERMS, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
