Description of Services

LIYA is a mobile application offering educational tools for job seekers and individuals looking to learn new concepts for a variety of professional industries. The App achieves its mission by offering users vocabulary, grammar, and word games (the "Services").

Industry professionals from across all sectors have been working on the industry-level content of this application to ensure that users are learning the most relevant information for the professional industries that interest them.

As users move through the game, they will be faced with tougher questions and challenges to test their proficiency of the terminology of these given industries. Through the exercises in this game, users should strive to maximize their understanding of the industry lingo so that they can apply it to their job application processes, day-to-day professional interactions, and even casual conversations.

Eligibility and Registration

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services. The App will be available for download on the Apple Store and Google Play Store, for free. Once registered for the game on the Apple Store or Google Play Store, a free trial will allow users to learn up to 20 terms related to each industry. In order to continue playing beyond that, users will have to register for the premium version of the App, with the option of paying a monthly, auto-renewable subscription fee of $5.99, or an annual, auto-renewable subscription fee of $59.99. This will provide unlimited access to all educational content for all professional industries. Subscriptions will automatically renew unless cancelled within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your Subscriptions settings. If you are an Apple user, you can manage your subscription by accessing the iTunes & App Store Account Settings page under the "Subscriptions" tab. If you are a Google Play user, you can manage your subscription by accessing the Google Play Store's menu page under the "Subscriptions" tab. Please make sure to follow this information, as deleting your App account does not cancel your subscription.

The information you provide is subject to our Privacy Policy. Please see our Privacy Policy [playliya.com/privacy] for information concerning the collection and use of Personal Information from the App. You are responsible for the security of your passwords and will be solely liable for any use or unauthorized use of the App under such passwords.

Promotional codes have no dollar value, and may not be redeemed for cash or a refund on any existing subscription or past purchase. We may modify, suspend, or terminate a promotional code at any time for any reason.

Automatic Renewal Terms for Extended Free Trial Codes

Unless you cancel at least 24 hours prior to when your extended free trial concludes, you will automatically become a recurring monthly subscriber after your extended free trial ends. The payment method you provided will then automatically be charged for the monthly subscription price.

Disputes and Governing Law

Use of this App and these Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event that any portion of these Terms of Use are deemed unenforceable, unlawful or void by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless narrowed by construction, such portion of these Terms of Use shall, for purposes of such jurisdiction only, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable portion had been more narrowly constructed so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (or if such provision cannot be drawn narrowly enough, the tribunal making any such determination shall have the power to modify such portion of these Terms of Use to the extent necessary to make such portion of these Terms of Use enforceable in such jurisdiction, and such portion shall then be applicable in such modified form in such jurisdiction). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such portion of these Terms of Use would be held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such portion, as to such jurisdiction only, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions set forth in these Terms of Use. No narrowed construction, modification or invalidation of any portion of the Terms of Use shall affect the construction, validity or enforceability of such portion in any other jurisdiction. No waiver by YGSG of any term or condition of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or of any other term or condition, and YGSG's failure to assert any right or demand compliance with any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any such right or provision.

Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of you clicking acceptance of these Terms of Use and/or accessing and/or using this App, you agree that (1) any and all disputes and causes of action arising out of or connected with this App shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by final and binding arbitration in New York within one year from the date that the cause of action arose (or, if multiple cause of actions are involved, from the date that the first cause of action arose), with such arbitration conducted pursuant to the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association; and (2) judgment upon such arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no arbitration brought pursuant hereto shall be joined to any other action or arbitration.

Except as otherwise provided, agreeing to these Terms of Use as regards arbitration constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

To the fullest extent permitted at law, under no circumstances will you be permitted to obtain an award for, and by accessing and/or using the App you waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, consequential or any other damages (including multiplied and/or increased damages and/or attorneys' fees and court costs) for, any dispute or cause of action that you may have that relates in whole or part to this App and/or the Materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms of Use or otherwise, your recovery with respect to any and all claims, judgments, and awards for which you are entitled shall, to the fullest extent permitted at law, be limited to your actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys' fees and court costs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms of Use, YGSG may at any time seek injunctive or other appropriate relief against you and/or against others, in any state or federal court in the state of New York and/or in any other court chosen by YGSG, in the event that YGSG believes that there is a violation, or a threatened violation, that has jurisdiction of any of YGSG's intellectual property rights and, in such case, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court.
