Your liability for any breach of these Terms is limited to $50 but this limit does not apply to any losses, damages, and costs (whether direct or indirect) incurred by us as a result of your wilful breach of any of these Terms, fraud, breach of any intellectual property rights, or breach of any applicable law. In relation to such losses, damages and costs you specifically agree to indemnify and hold us and our affiliates, employees, agents, representatives and third party service providers, harmless from any and such claims and liabilities.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide you any reasons for a decision to suspend, limited, cancel or disable your access or membership prior to doing so.

You can cease using the Services at any time. Simply removing the App from your mobile device will not have the effect of closing any of your accounts. You will remain responsible for Your Data and any activity through your accounts.

Upon termination of your registration you will be restricted from accessing any registered user only area of the Services, submitting any User Content to the Services and any User Content submitted by you to the Services or other information held by us in relation to your use of the Services may be deleted and is not returnable to you.
