Additionally, a statement of our privacy policy may be found at the “Privacy Policy”, such Privacy Policy which is incorporated herein by this reference. We reserve the right to modify the Agreement at any time.

It’s your responsibility as a user to review the most recent version of the Agreement frequently and remain informed about any changes to it. By continuing to use the Platform, you consent to any updates to this Agreement. This version of the Agreement supersedes all earlier versions, and comprises the entire agreement between you and Smacktive regarding the Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you accept this Agreement and any modifications that we may make to this Agreement from time to time. If you do not agree to any provision of this Agreement, you should not use the Platform.

You agree to comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of our Platform, including without limitation your participation in or involvement with anyone you match up with and meet in person. You also agree to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that our Platform may require you to update third party software from time to time in order to receive services and all efforts shall be made at your own expense and risk. Subject to the terms hereof, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-exclusive and non-sublicensable license to access and use to the Platform and our services. Ownership in the services, the Platform and our website, in whole or in part, shall at all times remain with Smacktive.

Additionally, you represent and warrant that you are not prohibited from receiving products of U.S. origin, including without limitation, services and/or software. Additional eligibility requirements for a specific event may be set by the creator of the event. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your use of our Platform and refuse any and all current or future use of all or any portion of our Platform at any time.
Password/Security.

Fees and Payments
General. Access to our website and use of selected features of our Platform is currently free. We may charge fees in the future to ensure quality of the Platform but we will notify you of those charges at the time that we offer you the premium features or services. We may, at our sole discretion, and by notifying you on our website, change this policy and begin charging for access to our website and other features and services, and we may, in our sole discretion, add, remove or change the features and services we offer or the fees (including the amount or the type of fees) we charge at any time. If we introduce a new service or charge a new fee, we will establish and notify you of the fees for that service at the launch of the service or start of charging a new fee. If we notify you of new fees or change the fees for an existing service, you agree to pay all fees and charges specified and all applicable taxes for your continued use of the applicable service. We are not responsible for any charges or expenses you incur resulting from being billed by us in accordance with these Terms of Service (e.g., overdrawn accounts, exceeding account limits, etc.).
Fees Assessed by Event Creators or Venues.
Some Event Creators or Venues may require or request fees for membership into a specific Event. These or other event costs are at the discretion of each Creator or Venue, who decides whether such fees are required, the amount frequency, payment options, refund policies, and how such fees are spent. Fees assessed by Creators or Venues are remitted to the Creator or Venue and not to Smacktive. You acknowledge that Smacktivedoes not control any transaction, and you, the user, incur all risk in connection with the transaction. Refunds of any payment you make to any Creator or Venue are subject to that Creator’s or Venue’s policies and applicable law. If you believe any payment to a Creator or Venue is incorrect, you must contact the Creator or Venue personally to rectify. You should use common sense and be careful in deciding whether to make a payment to a Creator or Venue. Creators or Venues have full discretion whether and how to spend money in connection with their Event. We cannot ensure that a Creator or Venue is legitimate and truthful, that he or she will use payments as promised, or that you will be happy with how your payment used. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of Smacktive, including payment and related services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and the Creator or Venue.
Consent to Disclosure.
