These Terms also govern the use of and access to PagayaVPN's content (the "Content"), which includes the PagayaVPN website (the "Site"), applications (the "Apps"), and any software provided by PagayaVPN (the "Software"). By agreeing to these Terms, you are also agreeing to the Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy"), which you can read here.
1. Acceptance
By accessing the Content or Services, you are agreeing on behalf of yourself or those you represent ("you") to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms in their entirety. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement (the "Agreement") between you and Spheremedia, Inc. If you do not agree with any part of the Terms, you may not use our Services. By creating an account for using our Services, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age or that you are a valid legal entity, and that the registration information you have provided is accurate and complete.
2. Modification
Spheremedia, Inc. may update the Terms from time to time without notice. If you continue to use PagayaVPN's Services, Content, Site, Apps, or Software after these changes take effect, then you agree to the revised Terms. The current version of the Terms is available on the Site.

3. Privacy Policy
Spheremedia, Inc. is committed to your privacy and does not collect or log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries from Subscribers connected to our VPN. During your registration, we may collect some sensitive personal information, such as your email address and payment information. We only collect information that is necessary for the proper delivery of the Site and Services. For the sake of clarity and transparency, we have placed all information related to data collection in a separate document known as the Privacy Policy, which is available on the Site. Please review the Privacy Policy in its entirety to get a clear understanding of how we handle your sensitive data.
4. Subscriptions
PagayaVPN Services are available to you upon registration on the Site. By subscribing to the Services, you agree to become a subscriber ("Subscriber") for the period you have elected. A full list of subscription plans and pricing is available on the Site. Spheremedia, Inc. reserves the right to amend subscription fees or institute new fees at any time upon reasonable advance notice posted on the Site or sent via email. Any changes to the pricing will not affect the Subscriber's current subscription period and will become effective upon subscription renewal. Subscription purchases and refunds are handled via multiple third-party payment companies. When supported by your payment method, plans renew automatically by default at the completion of the billing term.
5.
By default, the renewal term is for the same duration as the billing term for the original subscription. The subscription fee will be charged automatically to the payment method you last selected. If you would like to discontinue automatic renewal, you may sign in to the Site and turn off auto-renewal. By default, auto-renewal is turned on when you use a payment method that supports auto-renewal (such as a credit card or Paypal), and turned off when you use a payment method that does not support auto-renewal (such as bitcoin). Each paid subscription grants you one (1) license to use on five (5) different devices at any given time. If you want to use the Services on more than five devices at a time, then you can either (i) use PagayaVPN on your router, (ii) purchase additional subscription plans, or (iii) purchase additional licenses through the 'volume licensing' option. For more information on the 'volume licensing' program, please contact Support: contact@spheremedia.ai. 16 h 44

14. Arbitration
All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Site or Services shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration ("Rules") of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) by one arbitrator ("Arbitrator") appointed in accordance with said Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, unless all parties agree otherwise by a signed written agreement. The Arbitrator must be qualified and have a background in the area of computer networks, including but not limited to the internet. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to permit an expedited exchange of documents, but any discovery shall be limited to document requests and interrogatories. The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to or detract from this Agreement, and the costs of the arbitration shall be borne equally, except as described below. The arbitration shall be conducted on an expedited schedule. The arbitration must be concluded, and an award issued, no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the filing of the demand for arbitration, unless all parties to the arbitration proceeding agree in writing to an extension of time or continuance. Subject to any applicable law to the contrary, you agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the use of our Site or Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or such action will be permanently barred. In the event that PagayaVPN is the respondent in any such arbitration, damages awarded against PagayaVPN may not exceed the amount you have paid PagayaVPN for use of the Service. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any temporary, preliminary, or injunctive relief in a form substantially similar to that which would otherwise be granted by a court of law. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages. The resulting arbitration award may be enforced, or injunctive relief may be sought, in any court of competent jurisdiction in United States. Reasonable costs (including all costs of arbitration) and attorney's fees shall be awarded against the party that commenced the arbitration, in the event that party does not prevail in the arbitration. The parties subject to this arbitration provision include PagayaVPN, its officers, directors, and employees, and any company or legal entity which is a parent, subsidiary, or sister company to PagayaVPN, or with which PagayaVPN has contracted to provide services to Subscribers through PagayaVPN.
15. Final Provisions
If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect the original intent of the provision, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any failure to exercise or enforce any right or the provision of this agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
