These terms of service (“Terms”) explain your rights and obligations in using the websites including but not limited to, www.zedge.net, m.zedge.net and t.zedge.net ("Websites") and mobile applications ("Mobile Apps", and together, the “Services”) of Zedge, Inc., with its address at 1178 Broadway 3rd Floor #1450 New York NY 10001, its subsidiaries, parents, and affiliates ("Zedge", “we”, “us” and “our”). We refer to our Website visitors and Mobile App users as users ("Users") of Zedge's Services, whether as a guest or registered user.

Please read these Terms carefully, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Content Policy. By continuing to use the Services, you agree that you have read and are bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.

These Terms include important agreements about your rights and the rights of Zedge, including, for U.S. residents, a binding agreement about how to resolve any disputes between us connected to the Services. These Terms also contain certain disclaimers may be applicable to you. See ABOUT HOW WE WILL RESOLVE CONFLICTS BETWEEN US CONCERNING THE SERVICES. If you access or use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these Terms. In such case, the term “you” will refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not have authority, you may not access or use the Services.

I. ABOUT THE SERVICES

SOLE CONSIDERATION. You agree that our sole offer to you in connection with the Services is to provide them as-is, or as modified by us in our sole discretion, until such time as we should choose to discontinue the Services or any component of the Services.

SERVICES PROVIDED "AS IS". YOU AGREE THAT THE INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, SERVICES AND CONTENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUBMISSIONS, CONTENT GENERATION TOOLS, AND GENERATED CONTENT, AS DEFINED BELOW) MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS”. UNLESS THE DISCLAIMER OF SUCH WARRANTIES IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ACCESS TO THE SERVICES BY ANY MEANS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS AND ZEDGE AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, STOCKHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, DISTRIBUTORS, SUB-LICENSEES, AGENTS, AND/OR SUBCONTRACTORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “ZEDGE PARTIES”) DO NOT MAKE ANY PROMISES, WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF CONTENT ON THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT OF ANY SITES LINKED TO THE SERVICES AND ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROMISES AND WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR SECURE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICES (OR ANY PART THEREOF) SHALL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR PROVIDE ADEQUATE, COMPLETE OR TIMELY INFORMATION OR DATA. LIABILITY OF THE ZEDGE PARTIES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL EXCLUDE ANY WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, OR LIMIT LIABILITY OF THE ZEDGE PARTIES WHERE IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO.

SERVICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE. We may change or discontinue the Services, temporarily or permanently, in our sole discretion and without prior notice. Where possible or required by applicable law, we will inform you of these changes in advance.

REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNTS. In order to access some features of the Services, you will need to create an account ("Account") and may provide information, data, or content specific to you ("Account Information"). You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete Account Information, (b) maintain and promptly update your Account Information, (c) only maintain one Account, (d) never use another person’s Account, and (e) bear full responsibility for the activity on your Account and the security of your credentials.

You acknowledge that Zedge may use your Account Information to provide the Services and for purposes as otherwise set forth in these Terms. For certain Services, Zedge may require you to verify your phone number or email address and consent to a one-time SMS message or email sent through a third-party service provider. You are responsible for providing your accurate phone number or email address for verification purposes.

KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT SAFE. You are responsible for keeping your username and password secure and for restricting access to your password, your computer and mobile device while logged into the Services. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account or from your computer and mobile devices. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity. If you believe that there has been unauthorized access to your username, password, or your identity, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can work together to limit the damage. Although Zedge will not be liable for losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account, you may be liable for losses sustained by Zedge or others, due to such unauthorized use, subject to any limits set by applicable law. You may register for or log-in to your Account via a third-party network, such as Facebook or Google. If you connect your Account to a third-party network, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions and policies applicable to such third party.

We have the right to disable any Account and refuse current or future access to or use of the Services, at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any provision of these Terms or applicable law, or if we consider that you are using the Services to upload or download content or infringe in any manner the rights of another person. This section of Terms explains the steps we will take in relation to suspending your access to the Services.

We also reserve the right, where permitted by applicable law, to disclose your identity to any person who claims that any Generated Content (as defined below), or any other content you upload to the Services infringes their intellectual property rights, their right to privacy, or is defamatory.

ACCOUNTS NOT RETAINED FOREVER. You agree that any Account created via these Services may be terminated, and/or some or all the associated Account Information deleted, following a period of inactivity. Such deletion may be done without prior notice.

IF IMPORTANT, KEEP A COPY. You agree that, unless otherwise specified, any Account Information which you upload or provide via the Services may be modified or deleted without prior notice and at Zedge’s sole discretion. Therefore, to the extent any Account Information has importance to you, you should maintain an original copy separate from these Services.

YOUR EXPERIENCE ON THE SERVICES. Zedge makes personalized recommendations to help tailor and enhance your experience on the Services. These recommendations are mainly based on the types of things you are interested in, your interactions with the Services (like the content you look at), and information about the content itself (such as tags, titles, the number of downloads, and when it was uploaded). We organize or rank content based on a combination of these things, which can vary between users and devices. Some recommendations are automatically generated, and others are manually selected, or they may be a combination of both. Examples of our features include "for you", "popular collections " and "top creators".

GENERATED CONTENT. You may be able to provide ”Prompts” to, and otherwise use, content generation tools made available in certain parts of the Services (“Content Generation Tools”) to generate images, graphics, and other content (collectively, “Generated Content”). By using the Content Generation Tools, you agree that Generated Content may only be used on the Services and, unless otherwise separately authorized by Zedge, Generated Content may not be reproduced, downloaded, or otherwise distributed other than on the Services. By using the Content Generation Tools, you acknowledge and agree that use of the Content Generation Tools is at your own risk and Zedge makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding any Generated Content, including, without limitation, with respect to any User’s assertion of ownership rights or interest in or to any Generated Content.

By using the Content Generation Tools, you hereby grant Zedge a fully paid-up, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable license to: (i) display all Prompts and Generated Content to other Users and visitors to the Services; and (ii) use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display all Prompts and Generated Content on the Services, third party websites, social media, physical goods and materials, and all other media now known or hereafter developed for any and all purposes, including, without limitation, for the purposes of providing and promoting the Services and Zedge. For the avoidance of doubt, Prompts and Generated Content may be used in the context of promoting the Services and Zedge at our sole discretion and with no additional compensation owed to the User.

By using the Content Generation Tools, you agree that you will not misrepresent the provenance or originality of Generated Content, that you will not use the Content Generation Tools or any other aspect of the Services in any way intended to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, including, but not limited to, deliberately attempting to reproduce, either in whole or part, protected works of others, and that you will clearly label such Generated Content as being the product of an AI-based content generation tool, such as by labelling the Generated Content with #AIgenerated or similar.  Zedge does not endorse any Submission or Generated Content, or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein and, where permitted by applicable law, Zedge expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with Submissions, Generated Content, and your use of third-party websites. 

CONTENT MODERATION. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Zedge cannot and does not review content created or uploaded to the Services by Users. However, at our discretion, we may use automated and manual tools to detect and prevent harmful or infringing content on the Services. Our automated tools use signals to check image and audio content, and we also act on some content through our human review process, which may include reviewing content you have uploaded directly, as well as any content that is reported to us.

MAKING A COMPLAINT ABOUT CONTENT ON THE SERVICES. If you become aware of any content or behavior on the Services that is illegal or otherwise in breach of these Terms, then you can submit a report to us by clicking on the flag in the lower right-hand corner of the content. Please see the “Complaints About Copyright” section below for reports under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

REPEATED UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS. If you frequently submit notices or complaints to us that are clearly unfounded, we may suspend the processing of any further notices or complaints from you for a reasonable period of time. We will take into account the number of clearly unfounded notices or complaints you have submitted within a given time frame when making this decision and will notify you in advance if we take any action related to this.

ACTION WE MAY TAKE IN RELATION TO YOUR ACCOUNT OR CONTENT. Zedge reserves the right to remove any content on the Services, to close Accounts and terminate a User’s access to the Services at any time and at its sole discretion, including, without limitation, if such content or a User’s behavior does not comply with these Terms, for copyright infringement, violations of other intellectual property law or other rights of any third party, for violations of applicable law or regulations, or if otherwise deemed inappropriate or unacceptable to Zedge. If we remove or restrict access to your content, where required by applicable laws we will notify you and explain the reason for our decision. We will also notify the submitter of any report of the action we have taken against the content. Please see our Content Policy for more information.

REPEATED MISUSE OF THE SERVICES. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you are determined to be a repeat infringer of any provision of these Terms, including (without limitation) if you frequently upload to the Services material that is clearly illegal. We will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances when making such a decision, such as the nature, total number, and severity of the infringements that have taken place under your Account. Please see our Content Policy for more information.

APPEALS. If you do not agree with our decision to remove your content, or to suspend or terminate your access to the Services, you can appeal our decision through our internal appeals process. Appeals can be submitted by writing to us at dsa-users@zedge.net. We will review your appeal request and let you know the outcome of our decision. If your appeal is unsuccessful, we will explain to you the reasons why (for example, if your content has breached our Content Policy, these Terms, or is otherwise illegal). If your appeal is successful, your content will be restored.

For Users in the European Union (EU), you also have the option to refer our decision to any independent out-of-court dispute settlement body certified by the Digital Services Coordinator under the Digital Services Act in the EU Member State where you live. This is without prejudice to your rights to take any other legal action against us in court.

If you do not update or change an incorrect e-mail address or other contact information, you understand and agree that any notices, statements or other communications to you from Zedge will still be considered to have been provided to you if they were made available to you in electronic form on the Services or e-mailed to the e-mail address we have for you in our records. Zedge reserves the right, if we choose, to restrict your ability to use the Services if Zedge believes that the e-mail address you provided is incorrect.

The above requirements will not apply to the extent prohibited or limited by applicable laws.

IV. ABOUT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

YOUR SUBMISSIONS. When you provide submissions ("Submissions", which shall include, without limitation, all Prompts) to Zedge, you still retain all of your rights of ownership in your Submissions. However, by uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting your Submissions on or to Zedge, you hereby grant Zedge (and its successors) a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, worldwide, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, communicate to the public, perform and display the content (in whole or in part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content. You also permit any subscriber to access, display, view, store and reproduce such content for personal use, as permitted by the Service and under these Terms of Service.

When you provide any Submissions to Zedge, you understand and accept complete responsibility for your Submissions, including any and all consequences that may arise. As such, you confirm that you own or have secured all necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions for such Submissions and authorize Zedge to make use of these Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms; and have explicit permission, such as a signed, written consent and/or release from every person that may appear within the Submissions for Zedge to use the Submissions, including the names and likeness of those persons, in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms.

OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. You acknowledge and agree that Zedge or its third party licensors own the contents (including, without limitation, Submissions, Content Generation Tools, and Generated Content) of the Services and all copyrights and all other right, title and interest in and to such content, and you agree not to challenge, directly or indirectly, Zedge's ownership (or that of its licensors) in and to such content. Nothing contained in the Services or in these Terms should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppels, or otherwise, any license or right to use any name, logo, trademark or service mark displayed in the Services without the written permission of Zedge or such third party that may own the trademark displayed via the Services, and you may not use any name, logo, trademark, or service mark available via the Services without prior written approval by Zedge. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, display, distribute, perform, create derivative works of, or otherwise use the Services or their content.

COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS.

If you believe in good faith that any content on the Services infringes upon your copyright, you may send notice to Zedge requesting that the material or access to the material be removed, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) and https://www.loc.gov/copyright for further details). The notice must include all of the following:

An electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; sufficient identification of the allegedly infringing material; sufficient information as to the location of the allegedly infringing material so that it may be found and identified; the complainant's name, address, telephone number and, if possible, email address; a written statement by the complainant of a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and a statement by the complainant, under the penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complainant is the owner or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, you may send Zedge a counter-notice. All notices should be sent to our Copyright Agent. Zedge suggests that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. You expressly acknowledge and agree that Zedge shall not be liable to you under any circumstances for declining to replace material. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Zedge's designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:

We welcome your comments, feedback, suggestions, and other communications regarding the Services and the information and services we make available through the Services (collectively, "Feedback"). If you provide Feedback, you hereby grant to Zedge a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, assignable, sub-licensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to copy, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly display and perform and otherwise exploit such Feedback and to use, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, import, and export products and services based on such Feedback. For this reason, we ask that you not send Zedge any Feedback that you do not wish to license to us as set forth above.

V. ABOUT PAYMENT AND VIRTUAL CURRENCY

If you purchase credits ("Virtual Currency") and/or products or services using Virtual Currency through the Services, you will be asked to provide information about your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, online payment service, a third party such as Google Play or App Store (Apple), or other payment method). If you provide your payment information (e.g., name, billing address, credit card information) you authorize us and certain third party service providers, payment card networks and payment processors to receive, store and encrypt your payment information. If you pay through the Google Play or App Store (Apple), you may change your payment method through the corresponding store account. Zedge may change the payment methods offered within the Services from time to time. You confirm that all such billing information is complete and accurate, and that you are authorized to use such account information for such payments. The use of a third party payment service (“Payment Processor”) is subject to any terms and conditions made available by the Payment Processor, and you must comply with all such terms and conditions. You acknowledge that you may be separately required to accept the Payment Processor’s own terms governing use of its services in the manner it specifies, and that your personal data may also be subject to that Payment Processor’s own privacy policy.

We may offer you the ability to purchase a monthly or yearly subscription for an ad-free Zedge experience. When you purchase a subscription, you understand that it is a membership that automatically renews itself every month or year indefinitely without action. Zedge will charge the then-current monthly or annual membership fee to the billing account that you designated as your preference, or if you have not designated a preference, to the payment mechanisms, such as a debit or credit card, most recently used on the Services. The benefits of your subscription will be suspended unless and until payment is received, provided payment is received within 25 days. If payment is not received within 25 days, your subscription will be cancelled.

Your subscription may start with a free trial. The free trial period for any subscription may be subject to additional terms of conditions, which we will notify you, and will last for the period of time specified when you sign up. Free trials may not be combined with certain other offers, as specified. If you begin your subscription with a free trial, we will begin billing for subscription fees at the end of the free trial period of your subscription unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. No charges will be made against the payment method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial period.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Google Play account. You can find information on how to cancel your subscription through your Google Play account by visiting https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7018481.

iOS Users can find information on how to cancel your subscription here by visiting https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039.

When you purchase or receive Virtual Currency, you do not own them. Instead, you receive a limited right to use them for eligible services and merchandise on Zedge such as accessing locked content.

We make no guarantee as to the nature, quality, or value of the services or merchandise that are connected with the use of Virtual Currency. The price for content will be displayed at the point of purchase. Using your Virtual Currency to access content grants you a limited license to access certain features of the Services when, as, and if allowed by us. All Virtual Currency transactions are final, and we do not offer refunds for such transactions. We are not responsible for repairing or replacing content or providing you with any credit or refund in the event that we modify, suspend, or terminate the Virtual Currency program, or for loss or damage due to any service error, or any other reason.

Purchases of Virtual Currency may not be sub-licensed and are non-refundable and non-transferable, even if they expire or are revoked or discontinued. We may change the purchase price for Virtual Currency or for accessing content at any time, as well as the ways you can use Virtual Currency. We reserve the right to suspend, revoke, or stop issuing Virtual Currency or permitting their use at any time without notice, refund, or compensation, and to set expiration dates for Virtual Currency. Without limiting the foregoing, if your Account has been inactive for 180 days or more, or if you have not used your Mobile App for 180 days or more, your Virtual Currency will expire, and we may cancel and terminate your Virtual Currency. We are not required to notify you in advance of these actions, or to provide you any refunds, compensation, or any material or non-material benefit for such expiration, termination and/or cancelation of your Virtual Currency. Virtual Currency may not be redeemed for any sum of money or monetary value, or for services or items of value outside the Services. If you delete your Account or your Account is terminated for any reason, you will lose all accumulated Virtual Currency without refund or other compensation. You agree that we will have no liability to you based on our exercise of our rights with respect to Virtual Currency.

Certain jurisdictions (for example, the United Kingdom and a member state of the European Union) may provide statutory rights, including a 14-day cooling-off period which allows you to withdraw from a purchase. Nothing above or anywhere else in these Terms is meant to limit your return or cancellation rights, or any other rights that may be afforded to you by consumer laws.

VII. ABOUT HOW WE WILL RESOLVE CONFLICTS BETWEEN US CONCERNING THE SERVICES

(APPLICABLE TO U.S. USERS ONLY) DISPUTE RESOLUTION - VENUE. You agree that any dispute connected with the Services or your relationship with Zedge shall be resolved exclusively in New York County, New York. You agree to waive any and all objections to this choice of venue. 

(APPLICABLE TO U.S. USERS ONLY) NO CLASS ACTIONS. You agree that you will only sue us as an individual in any dispute connected with the Services.

You and we agree that at the election of either party, any dispute connected with Services between us may be sent to binding individual arbitration to be administered by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”). If, for any reason, JAMS is not available or will not hear the case, you or we may file our case with any national arbitration company.

STANDARD OF CARE. You agree that our sole obligation to you in connection with the Services is to provide the Services as-is. You agree that unless we do something that is grossly negligent or an act of willful misconduct in connection with the Services, we will not be liable to you or to any third party, unless applicable laws prohibit this.

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. If, for any reason, we are judged liable to you connected with Services, you agree that your recovery will be limited to your actual damages, measured by actual out-of-pocket economic loss. You agree that you will not ask for any consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or indirect or lost profits. You agree that even if you request these types of damages, a court or arbitrator cannot award them to you. You understand and agree that the price of these Services would be significantly higher if we could not place these limitations on our liability. This limitation on liability shall not be apply to any damages or other remedies available to you via statute. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so under applicable law.

WHERE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY ZEDGE PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM ANY: (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT, (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR CONTENT, (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION AND/OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES, (IV) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE, WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY, AND/OR (V) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT THE ZEDGE PARTIES ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

ZEDGE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS THAT THE SERVICES ARE APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THOSE WHO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO SO AT THEIR OWN VOLITION AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAW.

WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL. You agree that we are not responsible for anything beyond our control. For example, we are not liable for: Service interruptions caused by problems with a communications network; problems caused by an Internet service provider; your computer or its programs failing; the acts of criminal attackers, whether in real-time or automated (e.g., viruses); other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or proprietary material due to your use of the Services or to your downloading of any content on it, or on any website linked to it; or errors in information provided to us upon which we reasonably rely. These are only examples and do not affect other rights that may be afforded to you by consumer laws.

THIRD PARTIES. Third party products and services made available on the Services are made and offered directly by the applicable third party. When you pursue or purchase any such product or service, you acknowledge that you are contracting directly with such third party and not with Zedge.
