Veke is for fun and is intended to be a place for your entertainment, but we still need some basic rules. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use our Services.
1. Your Access to the Services

-
You are at least 13 years old and over the minimum age required by the laws of your country of residence to access and use the Services;

-
You are not barred from using the Services under all applicable laws; and
-
You have not been permanently suspended or removed from the Services.

​
2. Privacy
Veke’s Privacy Policy explains how and why we collect, use, and share information about you when you access or use our Services. You understand that through your use of the Services, you consent to the collection and use of this information as set forth in the Privacy Policy.
​
3. Your Use of the Services
Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, Veke grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to: (a) install and use a copy of our mobile application associated with the Services that is obtained from a legitimate marketplace on a mobile device owned or controlled by you; and (b) access and use the Services. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you by these Terms.
Except and solely to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, you may not, without our written agreement:

license, sell, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services or Content;
-
modify, prepare derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer any part of the Services or Content; or
-
access the Services or Content in order to build a similar or competitive website, product, or service.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice to you. Any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Services will be subject to these Terms, which may be updated from time to time. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services or any part thereof.

By submitting Your Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to Your Content contained within these Terms. Because you alone are responsible for Your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if you post or share Content without all necessary rights.
You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Veke the following license to use that Content:
When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world. This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Veke. You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.
Any ideas, suggestions, and feedback about Veke or our Services that you provide to us are entirely voluntary, and you agree that Veke may use such ideas, suggestions, and feedback without compensation or obligation to you.
Although we have no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor Your Content, we may, in our sole discretion, delete or remove Your Content at any time and for any reason, including for violating these Terms, violating our Content Policy, or if you otherwise create or are likely to create liability for us.
​
6. Third-Party Content, Advertisements, and Promotions
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services, which may be posted by advertisers, our affiliates, our partners, or other users (“Third-Party Content”). Third-Party Content is not under our control, and we are not responsible for any third party’s websites, products, or services. Your use of Third-Party Content is at your own risk and you should make any investigation you feel necessary before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such Third-Party Content.
The Services may also contain sponsored Third-Party Content or advertisements. The type, degree, and targeting of advertisements are subject to change, and you acknowledge and agree that we may place advertisements in connection with the display of any Content or information on the Services, including Your Content.
If you choose to use the Services to conduct a promotion, including a contest or sweepstakes (“Promotion”), you alone are responsible for conducting the Promotion in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to creating official rules, offer terms, eligibility requirements, and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations which govern the Promotion (such as licenses, registrations, bonds, and regulatory approval). Your Promotion must state that the Promotion is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or associated with Veke, and the rules for your Promotion must require each entrant or participant to release Veke from any liability related to the Promotion. You acknowledge and agree that we will not assist you in any way with your promotion, and you agree to conduct your Promotion at your own risk.

10. Paid Services and Payment Information
Veke is a subscription membership. When you purchase a Veke account, you expressly agree that you are authorizing recurring payments, and that payments will be made to Veke by the payment method and at the recurring intervals (monthly or annually) you have agreed to, until the subscription is canceled by you or by Veke.
You can manage your Veke account subscription and Payment Information by accessing your Account’s user settings or via your mobile app. We automatically process your Payment Information on the calendar day corresponding to the start of your subscription. If your subscription starts on a day not contained in the next month, you will be billed on the last day of that month. Mobile renewal processing dates may vary subject to any additional third-party terms. If your Payment Information is declined, you must provide new Payment Information or your Veke subscription will be canceled. If you provide new Payment Information and are successfully charged, your new subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.
You can cancel your Veke account any time. Your subscription automatically renews (each month or year) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription period ends. To cancel your subscription, follow the instructions in your Account’s user settings. If you purchased your Veke subscription using your Apple ID, you can cancel your subscription through your device’s Account Settings or in the Manage Subscriptions section of the Apple App Store. If you purchased your Veke account subscription using Google Play, you can cancel your subscription by visiting the Subscriptions section of Google Play. Your subscription will remain active from the time you cancel until the end of your current billing period, and you will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current billing period. You acknowledge at the end of your subscription, you will lose access to all features associated with your Veke account including, without limitation, any features enabling you to save or store limited-time Virtual Goods exclusive to your Veke account.
​
11. Virtual Goods
Virtual Goods are virtual currency or items, including Veke coins and awards. Virtual Goods have no monetary value (i.e., are not a cash account or equivalent) and do not constitute currency or property of any type). Users have no property, proprietary, intellectual property, ownership, or monetary interest in promotional or purchased Virtual Goods, which remain Veke digital content subject to these Terms (including, without limitation, the limited license set forth in Section 3 of the Veke User Agreement). Virtual Goods are non-refundable and non-transferable between Accounts. Virtual Goods awarded to other users will not be returned (e.g., if you award another user, you cannot take the Virtual Goods back). You may not sell, barter, or trade any Virtual Goods, or offer to sell or trade any Virtual Goods. Any such attempted transfer will be null and void.
Veke may modify its Virtual Goods at its sole discretion, and such modifications may make some or all Virtual Goods more or less common, desirable, effective, or functional. The number of Virtual Goods required to use other Virtual Goods (e.g., Coins needed to award another user) may be increased or decreased, any Virtual Good may be withdrawn, and restrictions on any Virtual Good redemption may be imposed at any time, even though such changes may affect the value or utility of the Virtual Good, or the ability to obtain certain Virtual Goods.
Veke does not guarantee that the Virtual Goods will continually be offered for any particular length of time. Veke may modify, suspend, or terminate Virtual Goods for any or no reason, in its sole discretion, and without advance notice or liability. In accumulating Virtual Goods, users may not rely upon the continued availability of any Virtual Goods.
​
12. Paid Services Obtained Through Third Parties
If you obtain a Veke account subscription or Virtual Goods via a third party (e.g., Google Play, Apple App Store), that purchase may be further subject to the third party’s terms as agreed between you and such third party. For Paid Services purchases obtained via a third party, your billing relationship will be directly with the applicable third party. Any fees charged for your Virtual Goods or Veke account subscription will be billed by the applicable third party using the payment information you have provided to such third party.
​
13. Intellectual Property
