Effective Date: 01/05/2021

  1. Introduction

    iSee Life (the "Publisher") app (the "App") is a mobile platform for the Publisher’s users like you ("you", and "your") that enables you to access Publisher-related content alongside social and interactive features.

    These Terms of Service ("Terms") and the associated Privacy Policy apply to your use of the App. The Publisher is also the Data Controller for the purposes of any personal data you provide. For information on how we and the Publisher (as "Data Controller") use your personal data, please see the associated Privacy Policy.

    You must review and accept these Terms before you can use the App. Unless otherwise specified in the App details on the applicable App Store, to use the App you must be 18 or older (or be 12 or older and have your parent or guardian's consent).

    We license use of the App to you based on these Terms and subject to any rules or policies applied by any App store provider or operator from whose platform you download the App ("App Store"). We do not sell the App to you. We always remain owners of the App, but please note that the content provided by the Publisher via the App is owned by and remains the responsibility of the Publisher.

  2. The Purpose of the App

    The App is intended to provide general information only and, as such, should not be considered as a substitute for advice covering any specific situation. You should seek appropriate advice from your medical eye care professional before taking or refraining from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in the App. THE APP IS IN NO WAY TO BE CONSIDERED OR USED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE FROM QUALIFIED EYE CARE OR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.

  3. App and Related Terms

    These App Terms incorporate Apple’s terms and conditions and privacy policies ("Platform Terms"). If there is any conflict between these App Terms and the Platform Terms then these App Terms will prevail.

  4. Changes

    We may occasionally make changes to the App or these Terms. If we do, we will notify you either by updating the Effective Date of these Terms listed above orvia the App. You must accept App related changes to continue using the App. If you do not agree to any changes to the App or these Terms, or related Privacy Policy, you must immediately uninstall the App and discontinue its use.

    We may issue updates to the App via the App Store, as well as change the functionality of the App without limitation and prior notice. Depending on the update, you may not be able to use the App until you have downloaded the latest version of the App and reviewed and accepted any new terms.

  5. Accessing the App and the content on the App

    You may access the App by downloading and installing the App to your device from the App Store. Although we are working to ensure that the App is compatible across various devices, we cannot guarantee that the App will work with all devices. You should check the minimum requirements and specifications (including memory space and operating system) as set out in the App details on the applicable App Store before downloading the App. We will endeavor to support the two most recent versions of the operating systems available in the market. To download the App, you will need a valid App Store account (as applicable to your device).

    It is your responsibility to ensure that you can comply with the relevant system requirements as described above. We accept no responsibility for any lack of functionality that is due to your equipment (including your device, internet connection, operating system or settings and software). Access to parts or all the App and any or all content on the App may be restricted from time to time to allow for repairs, maintenance or updating.

After your initial subscription commitment period, and again after any other subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed when subscribing.

    Automatic renewal. Subscriptions are automatically renewed until you terminate or cancel the subscription. When you purchase an iSee Life Plus subscription your iTunes account will continue to be billed monthly within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

    Objections to a payment already made should be directed to the relevant third party account, i.e., iTunes. NB! You are still obligated to pay any outstanding amounts.

    If you want to change or terminate your subscription after the purchase, you may do so by log in to your iTunes Store and by going to settings and following instructions to change or terminate your subscription. If you terminate or cancel your subscription, you may use the iSee Life Plus until the end of then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires.

We may make an exception if a refund for a subscription offering is requested within fourteen days of the transaction date, or if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for refunds.

    For subscribers residing in the EU or European Economic Area—in accordance with local law, you are entitled to a full refund without stating the reason during the 14 days after the subscription begins. Please note that this 14-day period commences when the subscription starts.

    To request a refund. If you made a purchase using your Apple ID, refunds are handled by Apple, not iSee Life.
