Termination and Access Restriction
You can delete your account at any time by logging into the App and going to "Settings", clicking "Delete Account", and following the instructions. However, you will need to cancel any external service purchases through your external service account (e.g., iTunes, Google Play) to avoid additional billing.
Amature reserves the right to investigate and, if appropriate, suspend or terminate your account without a refund if Amature believes that you have violated these Terms, misused our Services, or behaved in a way that Amature regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off our Services.
If your account is terminated by you or by us for any reason, these Terms continue and remain enforceable between you and Amature, and you will not be entitled to any refund for purchases made. Your information will be maintained and deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Purchases and Subscriptions
To enhance your Amature experience, we may offer products and services for purchase on the App ("In-App Purchase"). If you choose to make an In-App Purchase to use Amature Premium or other offerings, you acknowledge and agree that additional terms, disclosed to you at the point of purchase, may apply and are incorporated herein by reference.
If you make a purchase, you agree to pay the prices displayed to you for the Services you've selected as well as any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your payments, and you authorise Amature to charge the payment method you provide (the "Payment Method"). We may correct any billing errors or mistakes even if we have already requested or received payment.
You may make an In-App Purchase through a third-party platform such as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store ("Third Party Store"), or by paying with your credit card, debit card, or other supported payment method processed by a third-party processor.
Subscriptions and Auto-Renewal: We offer automatically-renewing subscriptions unless stated otherwise. Your Payment Method will continue to be periodically charged for the subscription until you cancel. To avoid charges for a new subscription period, you must cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period. Deleting your account or deleting the application from your device does not cancel your subscription.
Cancelling Subscriptions: If you purchased a subscription through a Third Party Store such as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you will need to access your account with that Third Party Store and follow instructions to change or cancel your subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of the period you last paid for, but you will not be eligible for a prorated refund, and your subscription will not be renewed when that period expires.
All charges for purchases are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

If there is any dispute about or involving the App and/or the Service, by using the App, you unconditionally agree that all such disputes and/or differences will be governed by the laws of India and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Competent Courts in Delhi, India only.
Any claim or dispute related to the App or under these Terms must be instituted within one (1) year after the claim arose, or be forever waived and barred.
Assignment
Amature may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without Amature's prior written permission. Any attempt by you to assign your rights under these Terms without Amature's permission shall be void.
Miscellaneous
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Amature as a result of these Terms or use of the App or Services. The waiver by Amature of a breach of any provision of these Terms shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
