Terms & Conditions
Thanks for checking out hearwhatisaY! It's an app and a website that provides conversation between people who speak different languages. When we talk about hearwhatisaY in these Terms & Conditions, we mean both the App and the website. The hearwhatisaY App is based in Texas. Whenever we say "hearwhatisaY," "us," "our," or "we," “the App,” in this Agreement, we are referring to the “hearwhatisaY App,” and “Kashanebo Management LLC,” which owns the hearwhatisaY App.
Unless stated otherwise, whenever we talk about our services (referred to as the "Service" or "Services"), we mean everything available through the hearwhatisaY App and our Website. This includes content, services, and products. It also covers any software provided by hearwhatisaY that lets you use the Services. When we say "user," "you," or "your," we are talking about anyone who uses the App, Website, or Service, even if they haven't made an account. This Terms & Conditions agreement creates a legally binding contract between you and hearwhatisaY for your use of the Service.
Before you use any of our services, please carefully read these Terms & Conditions ("Terms" or "Agreement"). Every time you use our services or buy something through them, you (and if you're acting on behalf of someone else, that person too) agree to follow these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy, whether or not you have signed up with us. If you don't agree to all of these Terms, you cannot use our service. We might change this Agreement anytime by updating the Terms & Conditions on our Website or in our App. If you do not like any changes to these Terms, stop using the App and Website. Otherwise, you will be considered to have agreed to the changes.
Furthermore, specific parts of the Service might have their own additional Terms & Conditions. If you use those parts or any of their sections, you are explicitly showing that you have read and agreed to follow and any of the extra Terms & Conditions that apply to them. If any of those additional Terms & Conditions conflict with these Terms, the extra terms will take precedence.
Please take note of the binding arbitration clause and class action waiver provisions outlined in the Dispute Resolution section of these Terms. They impact how disputes are settled. By agreeing to this Agreement, you explicitly acknowledge that you comprehend this Agreement, including the dispute resolution, arbitration provisions, and class action waiver, and agree to all of its terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not use or access our platform, our app or any service we provide.

5. Subscription Plans; Refund Policy; Trial Subscription |
- Subscriptions: hearwhatisaY allows you to purchase access to the Service through a one time use or a recurring subscription ("Subscription") via a Third Party App Store. By choosing a Subscription, you agree to pay the Third Party App Store a subscription fee for the Service ("Subscription Fee") on a set schedule. To make these payments, you'll need an active account with the Third-Party App Store and provide a valid payment method ("Payment Method"). The Subscription Fee will be charged when you start your Subscription and regularly thereafter unless you cancel it. We have the right to change the price of a Subscription at any time, and we'll inform you of any price changes as required by law.
- Payments: Payments can be handled by hearwhatisaY or the Third-Party App Store, not hearwhatisaY. The initial Subscription Fee will be charged to your Payment Method once the Third-Party App Store confirms your Subscription purchase. After that, the Third-Party App Store will charge your Payment Method for the Subscription Fee, taxes, and any service fees on a recurring basis according to your chosen subscription cycle. You're responsible for all charges related to your payments. If you have any payment-related questions, you should contact the Third-Party App Store directly. You can update your Payment Method anytime by accessing your account with the Third-Party App Store. If the Third-Party App Store cannot charge your Payment Method for the Subscription Fee due to insufficient funds, expired account details, or other reasons, you are still responsible for the cost. If your Payment Method fails to pay the Subscription Fee, the Third-Party App Store and hearwhatisaY may suspend your Subscription until the issue is resolved.
- Cancellation; Termination: You have the option to cancel your Subscription whenever you wish. It's important to cancel before the next term begins to avoid being charged for the upcoming Subscription Fee. If you do cancel, it will take effect at the end of the current term. We also hold the right to terminate your Subscription and access to our Service at any time and for any reason without owing you anything. Termination will be effective once we notify you.
- Refund Policy: Once you cancel your subscription, we do not offer refunds. We do not give credit, refunds, or partial refunds for subscriptions terminated by you before the term ends. In such cases, you'll maintain access to your subscription until the current billing cycle concludes. If we terminate your subscription due to a violation of this Agreement, you won't receive a refund of your Subscription Fees. However, if we terminate your subscription for reasons other than a breach of this Agreement, you might qualify for a prorated refund of your last billing cycle's Subscription Fee.
- Trial Subscriptions: HearwhatisaY might offer a free 14-day trial subscription period ("Trial Subscription"). The duration of this trial will be specified when you sign up. Trial Subscriptions are available only to new subscribers of the Service. To use the Service during the Trial Subscription period, you'll need to provide the Third-Party App Store with a valid Payment Method. During the Trial Subscription Period, your Payment Method won't be charged by the Third-Party App Store, but a preauthorization process may be used. Once the Trial Subscription ends, the first Subscription Fee for the Service will be charged to your Payment Method unless you cancel the Trial Subscription on time.
- Prices: Prices shown in our Services are in U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise. Any taxes and additional charges are your responsibility and will be added to the displayed price. We have the sole discretion to change prices at any time without prior notice.

7. Dispute Resolution
- This section includes an agreement to arbitrate, meaning that you must resolve any claims against us through binding arbitration, which provides a final decision. This agreement also requires that you can only bring claims against us individually, not as part of a class action. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, you and hearwhatisaY, Kashanebo Management LLC, agree that any legal or equitable claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between us—including any involving a third-party agent— related to this Agreement, your use of our Services, our actions, or any products or services sold or purchased, will be resolved as outlined in this agreement.
- Applicable Law: You agree that, unless overridden by federal law, the laws of the State of Texas, without considering its conflict of laws principles, will govern this Agreement and any claims or disputes between you and hearwhatisaY, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.
- Agreement to Arbitrate: This section on Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration is referred to as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any disputes or claims between you and hearwhatisaY, whether related to these Terms & Conditions (including any alleged breaches), the Services, advertising, or any aspect of our relationship or transactions, will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, not in court. The only exception is that you may bring individual claims in small claims court if they qualify. By agreeing to these Terms, both you and hearwhatisaY waive the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not by a judge or jury. If you reside in the U.S., the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Class and Representative Actions: Unless prohibited by law, you and hearwhatisaY agree that we can only bring claims against each other individually, not as part of a class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and hearwhatisaY agree otherwise, the arbitrator cannot consolidate or join multiple parties' claims into a single case or oversee any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. The arbitrator can only award relief to the individual party seeking it and only to the extent necessary to address that party's specific claims.

- If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect. Only the specific portion that is unlawful, void, or unenforceable will be removed.
- If we fail to enforce any right or provision in these Terms, it does not mean that we are waiving that right or provision. A waiver is only valid if we acknowledge and agree to it in writing.
- This Agreement, along with the Privacy Policy, represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding its subject matter. It replaces all previous agreements, understandings, and representations related to the same.
