9. Dispute Resolution

9.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, you agree to first contact us at legal@tenzlist.com and attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. If we are unable to resolve the dispute informally, either party may proceed as set forth below.

9.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof (a "Dispute"), that cannot be resolved through the informal resolution process described above shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Section 9. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in Franklin County, Ohio, or at another mutually agreed location, or via telephone, videoconference, or other remote technology as determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply Ohio law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law.

9.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND TENZ AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND TENZ AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

9.4 Small Claims Exception

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for Disputes within the jurisdiction of such court, provided the action remains in small claims court and is advanced on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

9.5 Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver set forth in this Section 9 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@tenzlist.com within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Service. Your notice must include your name, your Tenz username, the email address associated with your account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, neither you nor Tenz will be required to arbitrate Disputes, but all other provisions of these Terms will continue to apply.

9.6 Arbitration Fees

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and you agree to reimburse Tenz for all fees that were your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

10. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

10.1 In-App Purchases

Tenz offers optional in-app purchases, including a premium subscription plan. All in-app purchases are processed through the Apple App Store. By making an in-app purchase, you agree to Apple's payment terms and conditions.

10.2 Subscription Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as applicable) unless you cancel the subscription at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current billing period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for the renewal within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal by accessing your Apple ID account settings after purchase.

10.3 Refunds

All in-app purchase transactions are processed by and subject to the refund policies of Apple. Tenz does not directly process payments or issue refunds for in-app purchases. To request a refund, please contact Apple directly.

10.4 Pricing Changes

Tenz reserves the right to change the prices of any in-app purchases or subscriptions at any time. Price changes for existing subscribers will take effect at the start of the next billing cycle following the date of the price change. Your continued use of the subscription after the price change takes effect constitutes your agreement to pay the new price. If you do not agree with a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

10.5 Free Trials

Tenz may offer free trial periods for subscriptions from time to time. If you do not cancel before the end of the free trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription, and your Apple ID account will be charged the applicable subscription fee.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not owned or controlled by Tenz, or may integrate with third-party services such as Unsplash, TMDb, TheSportsDB, and others. Tenz has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites, applications, or services. You acknowledge and agree that Tenz shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such third-party websites, applications, or services. We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party services that you access through the Service.

12. Modifications to Terms

Tenz reserves the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service, by email, or through other reasonable means. The "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms indicates when the most recent revisions were made. Your continued access to or use of the Service after the effective date of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Service.

13. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You may terminate your account at any time by using the account deletion feature in the app settings or by contacting us at legal@tenzlist.com.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, the license grants set forth in Section 3, and the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 9.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its original intent to the greatest extent possible.

15. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or additional terms and conditions published by Tenz on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tenz regarding your use of the Service. These Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Service. No waiver of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by Tenz to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

16. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. To the extent that litigation is permitted under these Terms, you and Tenz agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Franklin County, Ohio, for the resolution of any Disputes not subject to binding arbitration.
