TERMS OF USE

By downloading or using the app, these terms will automatically apply to you – you should make sure therefore that you read them carefully before using the app. You’re not allowed to copy, or modify the app, any part of the app, or our trademarks in any way. You’re not allowed to attempt to extract the source code of the app, and you also shouldn’t try to translate the app into other languages, or make derivative versions. The app itself, and all the trade marks, copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights related to it, still belong to WhiteCode.

WhiteCode is committed to ensuring that the app is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.

The app stores and processes personal data that you have provided to us, in order to provide our Service. It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the app won’t work properly or at all.

The app does use third party services that declare their own Terms and Conditions.

You should be aware that there are certain things that WhiteCode will not take responsibility for. Certain functions of the app will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider, but WhiteCode cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.

If you’re using the app outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that your terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the app, or other third party charges. In using the app, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the app outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you’re using the app, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the app.

Along the same lines, WhiteCode cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the app i.e. You need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the Service, WhiteCode cannot accept responsibility.

With respect to WhiteCode’s responsibility for your use of the app, when you’re using the app, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavours to ensure that it is updated and correct at all times, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. WhiteCode accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality of the app.

At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on Android & iOS – the requirements for both systems(and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the app to) may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app. WhiteCode does not promise that it will always update the app so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the Android & iOS version that you have installed on your device. However, you promise to always accept updates to the application when offered to you, We may also wish to stop providing the app, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the app, and (if needed) delete it from your device.

ABUSE PREVENTION AND RATE LIMITING:

Automatic Analysis and Interruption: Our systems continuously monitor and analyze user activity to prevent any form of misuse or abuse. If any usage patterns are detected that may harm or interfere with our applications, our system reserves the right to automatically restrict your access.

Purpose of Rate Limiting: The implementation of automatic rate limiting is crucial to ensure the stability and reliability of our underlying servers. By preventing abusive behaviors, we aim to provide a seamless and uninterrupted experience for all users.   

Behavior Detection and Blocking: Our system is equipped with advanced algorithms designed to detect any suspicious or harmful behavior. If such behavior is identified, your interaction with the service may be temporarily blocked.

Temporary Blocks: Any access restrictions imposed by our system are temporary and will be lifted after a certain period. This ensures that genuine users can continue to use our services after the temporary block has been removed.
‍
Compliance: By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms and acknowledge that the automatic rate limiting measures are in place to protect both our systems and the user community from potential abuse.

For any concerns or if you believe your access has been incorrectly restricted, please contact our support team for further assistance.

REFUND AND ACTIVITY LOG SHARING

If you request a refund, please be aware that your activity logs may be shared with the App Store, if needed, to help verify your usage of the app. This is simply to ensure that any claims of accidental subscriptions are reviewed fairly.
