9. Fees and Payments

9.1 Subscription Fees

Certain features of the Service may require payment of subscription fees. Subscriptions for the Service are offered exclusively through Apple’s in-app purchase system (the “Subscription”). By purchasing a Subscription, you:

  1. Agree to pay all applicable fees in accordance with the pricing, payment, and billing terms presented to you for that Subscription at the time of purchase.
  2. Acknowledge that GigReal does not collect or process your payment information directly; any billing and refund requests must be directed to Apple, as Apple is the entity processing your payment.
  3. Understand that all fees are non-refundable, except where required by law or explicitly stated otherwise by GigReal or Apple’s policies.

9.2 Auto-Renewal

  1. Renewal Terms. By default, Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle (e.g., monthly, annually) unless you cancel your Subscription.
  2. Payment Authorization. You authorize Apple to charge the payment method associated with your Apple ID at the start of each renewal term for the Subscription fee then in effect.
  3. Cancellation. You can manage or disable auto-renewal at any time by accessing your Apple account settings. You must do so at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period to avoid being charged for the next period.
  4. Effective Date of Cancellation. If you cancel a Subscription, the cancellation will take effect after the current billing cycle ends; you will continue to have access to the paid features until the expiration of the then-current cycle.

9.3 Refunds

  1. Apple’s Refund Policy. Because all Subscription transactions are processed through Apple, any refund requests must be made to Apple in accordance with Apple’s refund policies.
  2. No Prorated Refunds. Unless otherwise required by law or permitted by Apple’s refund policies, no prorated refunds will be provided for cancellations made during an active subscription period.

9.4 Future Price Changes

GigReal reserves the right to change subscription prices for future billing cycles. If a price change occurs, GigReal (or Apple, on GigReal’s behalf) will notify you in advance. Your continued use of the Service after any price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the new price unless you cancel your Subscription according to the process described above.

9.5 Taxes

You are responsible for any applicable taxes (e.g., sales, use, value-added, etc.) that may be imposed on your Subscription and/or in-app purchases, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase. Apple may collect and remit taxes as required by applicable law.
