Term and Termination

This Terms of Service is effective until you or Boddle terminates it. You may terminate this Terms of Service at any time by discontinuing your use of Boddle. We may terminate this Terms of Service at any time and for any reason without prior notice to you, and accordingly we may choose to, in our sole discretion, deny you access to Boddle and/or discard any Feedback you provide. Termination of this Terms of Service will not affect any right or relief to which we are entitled at law or in equity. Upon termination of this Terms of Service, you must terminate all use of Boddle and any information or materials that have been provided to you. In the event of termination, you will not be entitled to any refund of any fees or other charges, if any, paid in connection with this Terms of Service.

Subscriptions and Renewals

Some of our Services include paid, but optional, subscriptions. Where a fee is paid for a subscription, we may, in our sole discretion, change the fee to be charged for your next subscription period, provided we first notify you by email in accordance with applicable law. 

Activating and maintaining a paid subscription requires either a credit card or other acceptable or approved payment method (for example, through a third-party app store). If you purchase a subscription, you will be responsible for paying all additional applicable fees and taxes. In the event that your credit card or other third-party payment method does not reach us, you agree to pay all amounts due hereunder upon demand, and will be solely responsible for any disputes between your payment provider and us. If your credit card or payment method is denied, we reserve the right to recharge the card or payment method.

All fees are payable in accordance with the payment terms in effect when payment is due. Non-payment of fees for the subscription may prevent you from accessing paid features, as well as platform assets that are exclusively obtained from a paid subscription. Unless otherwise expressly stated otherwise, any fees paid for subscriptions are non-refundable.

Credit Card Information

We do not directly store credit card information - all credit card information and transactions are handled by third-party payment providers. As a result, Boddle will not be responsible or liable for any breach of security suffered by third-party payment processors.

Renewals

Upon purchasing a subscription, you agree that we may automatically renew your subscription at the end of your previous subscription term, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the next subscription term. Please refer to the "Refunds & Subscription Cancellation" section below for instructions on how to cancel your subscription. We will charge your credit card, or any third-party method of payment you selected, each year, month or other applicable period (depending on the payment term that you selected) for the then-current applicable price. By subscribing to paid subscriptions, you authorize us to charge your credit card or other acceptable or approved payment third-party payment methods.

Refunds & Subscription Cancellation

Monthly subscriptions do not qualify for refund. You qualify for a partial refund during the first 14 days of a yearly subscription. The yearly subscription’s partial refund amount is $9.99 off the total cost paid and subject to change at Boddle’s sole discretion. A refund will not be granted after 14 days of an annual term. A refund will only be granted by first requesting a refund by email to contact@boddlelearning.com prior to canceling your membership subscription, and the refund amount will be issued to the method of payment used to purchase the membership - no credits will be issued.

We offer the option of canceling your subscription and avoiding future billing online through your parent portal, via our live support team, or by email.

If you purchased your subscription through a third-party app store, cancellations must be processed through that app store's settings. When you cancel your subscription prior to its renewal date, you won't be billed for another subscription period.

You will be able to access premium features for your child’s account for the period of time that has already been prepaid for all accounts. We will not charge you any subscription fees after the expiration of your then-current subscription period if you cancel your account. You will be able to use paid subscription features throughout the remainder of your subscription period. You will also be able to continue to use features that do not require a paid subscription.

Boddle Bucks

“Boddle Bucks” is an in-game currency that users can earn by playing the game or by purchasing. This currency can be used to unlock special in-game items and perks.

 

You may choose to purchase Boddle Bucks for your child’s account.  These Boddle Bucks can be used in the application for obtaining and purchasing exclusive in-game items or perks.  Your child can also earn Boddle Bucks by taking certain actions when playing a game. UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, THE DOLLAR VALUE OF YOUR BODDLE BUCKS IS NONREFUNDABLE AND MAY NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. The value on your BODDLE BUCKS is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), nor does it earn interest.

‍Boddle Bucks purchases will not be refunded.

No Advertising

Boddle does not advertise to third-parties, nor do we use/sell any personal identifiable information collected from kids/students to third-parties or services outside of Boddle’s operations. References to our paid membership options may be presented to students, parents, and teachers while they are using Boddle. These references and displays are only for Boddle’s services, and are delivered to all students/players in the same context and placements within Boddle’s services.

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce the provisions of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce them.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sell (voluntarily or by operation of law) your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any assignment without our consent will be void and will be a breach of these Terms. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part,  at any time without any notice.

If there is a conflict between these Terms  and any additional policies, disclaimers, guidelines, or rules of specific application, the additional policies, disclaimers, guidelines, or rules of specific application will control.

Update to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion .
