In addition to its other rights under these Terms, Yirika may utilize technical measures to prevent overuse and/or stop usage of the API by an application after any usage limitations are exceeded.

1.6 Communications: In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of those communications.

2. User Accounts

2.1 Registration: In accordance with these Terms of Use, certain Services may require that you register as a member of the Services (a “Registered Member“) and that you provide information about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the Service, or as part of your continued use of the Services. You agree that any registration information you give to Yirika will always be accurate, correct, and up to date.

2.2 Passwords: If you are a Registered Member, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account with or without your knowledge. You agree to immediately notify Yirika of any unauthorised use of your password or account or any other breach of security. Yirika cannot and will not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

2.3 Age Restriction: The Services are intended for a general audience. However, children under the age of 13 years are not, without the consent from the child’s parent or legal guardian, permitted to register as a Registered Member. Parental consent must be verified by an email from the parent to support@yirika.com that explicitly grants such parental consent and provides a phone number at which the parent can be reached to validate such consent.

2.4 Yirika Refund Policy: Our Disclaimer of Warranties, recited in Section 6 of our Terms of Use, applies to our Refund Policy. We make no explicit or implicit warranties. Our Limitation of Liability, recited in Section 7 of our Terms of Use, applies to our Refund Policy. We are not liable to you for any direct or indirect damages (direct or indirect) that result from the use of our Services.

Yirika offers you several membership plans, each with varying limits on the number of calls you can make. Your purchase of a membership plan is, barring circumstances deemed exigent by Yirika, non-refundable. Because we disclaim warranties of any kind when we provide our Services and our Services are provided “as is,” the quality of any goods or services (including the quality of content or data included within the scope of any purchased goods or services) we provide you cannot be the basis for any refund.

Further, your purchase of a membership plan provides you with the ability to make a certain number of calls within a predetermined period (e.g. until the end of the month). If, at the conclusion of this period, you have not made the number of calls afforded to you by your plan, i.e. there is a balance of unused purchased calls, you shall not be entitled to a refund (prorated or otherwise) on that balance of unused purchased calls.
