All purchase and billing is handled directly with the relevant app market and any issues with billing should be taken up with them.

Even if we offer our app for free, you must still abide by these provisions and not copy or otherwise use our app in a manner prohibited by this section. You obtain no ownership rights when you purchase and download our app, but are instead buying a license to install and use the app within the confines of this Agreement.
Copyright

Representations & Warranties
WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OF OUR OR OUR CUSTOMERS' GOODS OR SERVICES OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM ANY LIABILITY THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO YOU IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR OUR PRODUCTS, FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE OF OUR SERVICE, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER TORT.

YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY LOSSES CAUSED BY THE PURCHASE OF GOODS OR SERVICES THROUGH OUR SERVICE, WHETHER FROM US OR FROM OUR USERS. THIS INCLUDES ANY FAILURE OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY GOODS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY.
WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES OF OUR COMPANY OR A THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING ANY FAILURES OR DISRUPTIONS, UNTIMELY DELIVERY, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED, INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL, ON OUR SITE WHICH PREVENT ACCESS TO OUR SITE TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY.
THE PROVISION OF OUR SERVICE TO YOU IS CONTINGENT ON YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THIS AND ALL OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS "REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES" SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE GENERALITY OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION.
For Jurisdictions that do not allow us to limit our liability: Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms, if your jurisdiction has provisions specific to waiver or liability that conflict with the above then our liability is limited to the smallest extent possible by law. Specifically, in those jurisdictions not allowed, we do not disclaim liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of any of its officers, employees or agents; or (b) fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any liability which it is not lawful to exclude either now or in the future.
IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.

You agree to indemnify and hold us and our affiliates harmless for any claims by you or any third party which may arise from or relate to this Agreement or the provision of our Service to you, including any damages caused by your use of our app or Service. You also agree that you have a duty to defend us against such claims and we may require you to pay for an attorney(s) of our choice in such cases.

Choice of Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the Republic of India. The offer and acceptance of this contract is deemed to have occurred in the Republic of India.
Forum of Dispute
In order to limit the costs and complexity of legal proceedings against Papertrell, you agree that any dispute naming Papertrell or a party acting for or on behalf of Papertrell arising from or relating to this Agreement or our Site or Service will be heard solely by the most summary court available in the City of Bangalore, in the Republic of India ("Small Claims Court"). You agree that even if you may be entitled to a monetary, equitable, or other remedy exceeding the jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court, you will waive your right to that remedy and still bring your action within the Small Claims Court.
If the subject matter of a dispute includes multiple claims, at least one of which is eligible to be heard in the Small Claims Court, you will release us from liability for the ineligible subject matter and will instead proceed with the eligible subject matter within the Small Claims Court.
If, after the application of these Forum of Dispute provisions, your claim is still ineligible to be heard in the Small Claims Court, you agree that the dispute shall be heard in the next most summary manner available in a court of competent jurisdiction in the City of Bangalore in the Republic of India.
If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.
You agree that the prevailing party in any dispute will be entitled to claim from the unsuccessful party the entire amount of the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements in relation to the dispute.
Force Majeure
You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.
Severability
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.
If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other's operation, Papertrell shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
Non-Waiver
In the event of a breach of this Agreement by you, or other actionable conduct, we may not take action against you, either knowingly or unknowingly. Such a failure to act on our part against you, or anybody else, for actionable conduct, should not be considered a waiver of our rights under this Agreement or under any applicable laws.
Termination & Cancellation
We may terminate your account or our provision of services to you, without explanation, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases. Our liability for refunding you will be limited to the amount you paid directly to us, except in cases where the termination or cancellation was due to your breach of this Agreement or for cause.
Termination for cause includes any activity which may be unlawful and/or harm Papertrell, its Users, or any other person, and includes but is not limited to the engagement or attempted engagement in fraud, hacking, violence, intellectual property infringement, breach of contract with Papertrell, tax evasion, breaching the laws of the Republic of India or any other government having jurisdiction over you, or any other activity which may cause harm to Papertrell.
