TERMS OF USE

Introduction. The flirtyQWERTY™ mobile application (“flirtyQWERTY™”) is a keyboard application that you install on your iOS mobile phone or other mobile device (“Mobile Device”)  and use to add playful and flirty images (“flirtyQWERTY™ Images”) to your text messages and communications in any app in which you are writing on your phone. You can simply add the keyboard to your other keyboards in your Mobile Device settings, or open flirtyQWERTY™ itself as an app. Some flirtyQWERTY™ Images, including the ones that come in the keyboard, are free. There are additional images available for sale in the iTunes® store. flirtyQWERTY™ is provided by NTWC, LLC (“NTWC” or “we”).  

Basic Conditions. These terms of use (the “Terms of Use”) contain the complete terms and conditions that apply to your use of flirtyQWERTY™. They are a legally binding agreement between you and NTWC, LLC, the owner of flirtyQWERTY™ (“NWTC” or “we”). The Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect as long as you use flirtyQWERTY™. 

Implications of Acceptance. By accepting these Terms of Use, you hereby waive any rights or requirements under any laws or regulations in any jurisdiction which require an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. If you are not the end user and are installing flirtyQWERTY™ on a Mobile Device on behalf of the end user, you warrant and represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of the end user and to accept and bind the end user to these Terms of Use.

Availability.  flirtyQWERTY™ is available to handheld Mobile Devices running iOS 7 or iOS 8. NTWC will use reasonable efforts to make flirtyQWERTY™ available at all times. However, flirtyQWERTY™ is provided over the Internet and mobile networks and so the quality and availability of flirtyQWERTY™ may be affected by factors outside NTWC’s reasonable control. NTWC also may restrict, suspend, or block access to flirtyQWERTY™ for maintenance, operational, or technical reasons, without prior notice to you.

Support and Backup. NTWC does not back up or store your texts or other messages that you send using the flirtyQWERTY™ keyboard or flirtyQWERTY™ Images (“flirtyQWERTY™ User Content”).   The only way to save those texts and messages is to back up the application that you use to send them. 

Withdrawal of App or Payment Requirement. flirtyQWERTY™ is currently made available to you free of charge for your personal, non-commercial use (separately from any flirtyQWERTY™ Images that are available for purchase in the iTunes® store). NTWC reserves the right to amend or withdraw flirtyQWERTY™, or charge for flirtyQWERTY™ itself (in addition to charging for the flirtyQWERTY™ Images that are available for sale), at any time and for any reason. 

Changes to Terms of Use. We will use our reasonable best efforts to give you sixty (60) days’ notice of any changes to these Terms of Use (unless the law requires or permits us to make a more immediate change) through a notification within flirtyQWERTY™. If we notify you that way of a change to these Terms of Use and you continue to use flirtyQWERTY™ after the date on which the change takes effect, you will be bound by the changed Terms of Use. 

Mobile Provider Charges and Restrictions. Text messages that you send using flirtyQWERTY™ may be charged under your regular data plan with your communications carrier (“Mobile Provider”). If texts are not included in your data plan, or if they are sent via SMS (short messaging system), you may be charged separately, over and above your data plan charges. You should check with your Mobile Provider to find out what data plans are available and how much they cost and how your texts will be charged.  If you are not the bill payer for the Mobile Device being used to access flirtyQWERTY™, you will be assumed to have received permission from the bill payer to use flirtyQWERTY™.  Also, your Mobile Provider may prohibit or restrict certain mobile apps and flirtyQWERTY™ may be incompatible with your Mobile Provider or Mobile Device.
