Sunshine Terms of Service
Last Updated: October 8, 2024
This is the Terms of Service for Sunshine, which is the legal agreement (“Agreement” or “TOS” or “Terms”) that governs the relationship between you and Sunshine Products (“Sunshine” “us” or “we”) when you use Sunshine’s mobile apps (each, an “App”) or our websites, and the services made available by our Apps and websites (collectively, the “Sunshine Services” or “Services”). By accessing our Services, downloading our App, completing the account registration process or checking “I accept” or similar button/box, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Service, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, do not use our Services.
Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Sunshine and you regarding the Sunshine Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between us and you. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT, WHICH REQUIRES THAT YOU AND SUNSHINE ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES YOU MAY HAVE BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF GOING TO COURT, AND LIMITS CLASS ACTION CLAIMS UNLESS YOU OPT OUT AS PROVIDED IN SUCH AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (SEE BELOW“AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER”).
IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO ANY FEATURE OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SUNSHINE SERVICE FOR A TERM (THE “INITIAL TERM”), THEN YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE INITIAL TERM AT SUNSHINE’S THEN-CURRENT FEE FOR SUCH FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF SERVICE TERM IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION TITLED “AUTOMATIC RENEWAL” BELOW.

Creating an Account:
To use the Services you must create an account associated with your device and provide your name and phone number. You agree to use the same name that you use in everyday life and provide accurate information about yourself or your account may be terminated. Additionally, you are responsible for keeping your device secure and are fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place using your account.
Your Use of the Service:
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Sunshine grants you a limited nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install and use a copy of the App on a single device that you own or control and to run such copy of the Application solely for your own personal or internal business purposes.
This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and Sunshine will retain sole and exclusive ownership of, and with respect to, the Services, including its Apps. You may not: modify or copy the Services; use the Services for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial), including but not limited to: accessing, retrieving or indexing the Services for purposes of constructing or populating a searchable database of contact or business information; recording, processing, or mining information about other users; or using any robot, spider, search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, scrape, or index the Services or any content; attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained in the App; remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials; or transfer the materials to another person or “mirror” the materials on any other server. All licenses granted herein to you shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by Sunshine at any time for these reasons or for any other reason at the discretion of Sunshine. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.
Your Content and Conduct:
To create and use your account, you may choose to provide us with information, or access to information, such as email, notes, files, reminders, calendar, phone, messaging, contacts, photos, social media and other content (collectively, “your content”). You own your content and may request deletion of your content at any time, unless you have shared your content with others and they have not deleted it, or it was copied or stored by other users while displayed by you to others through the Services, as further described in our Privacy Policy. In order to host your information within the Service and provide the associated benefits of using the Service, you grant us and our service providers a nonexclusive, worldwide, transferrable right to copy, modify and use your content to provide the Services subject to our Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that you have the right to provide us with your content and to permit us to use and disclose your content within the parameters authorized by these Terms or our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for maintaining and protecting a separate permanent record of all of your content. Sunshine will not be liable for any loss or corruption of your content, or for backing up or restoring any of your content.
Content is the responsibility of the person or entity that provides it to the Service. Sunshine is under no obligation to host or serve content. If you see any content you believe does not comply with this Agreement, including by violating the Community Guidelines or the law, you can report it to us.
Community Guidelines:
Sunshine Products are a place for authentic and safe expression. To foster this community, upload and share only your own photos and always follow the law. Respect everyone on the platform, don’t spam people, post nudity or offensive comments. Objectionable content or abusive users will not be tolerated.
Payment:
You shall pay all fees or charges (“Fees”) to your account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a Fee is due and payable. By providingSunshine and/or our Third-Party Service Provider with your payment information, you agree that Sunshine and/or our Third-Party Service Provider is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all Fees due and payable to Sunshine hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You shall immediately notify Sunshine of any change in your payment information to maintain its completeness and accuracy. Sunshine reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods in its sole discretion. You agree to have sufficient funds or credit available upon placement of any order to ensure that the purchase price is collectible by us. Your failure to provide accurate payment information to Sunshine and/or our Third-Party Service Provider or our inability to collect payment constitutes your material breach of this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Fees for the Service are non-refundable.
a) Third-Party Service Provider. Sunshine uses [Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates] as its third-party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (“Third-Party Service Provider”). If you make a purchase on the Service, you will be required to provide your payment details and any additional information required to complete your order directly to our ThirdParty Service Provider. [You agree to be bound by [Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/ssa)] and hereby consent and authorize Sunshine and [Stripe] to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more Third-Party Service Provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.] Please note that online payment transactions may be subject to validation checks by our Third-Party Service Provider and your card issuer, and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. For your protection, our Third-Party Service Provider uses various fraud prevention protocols and industry standard verification systems to reduce fraud and you authorize it to verify and authenticate your payment information. Your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this. In some jurisdictions, our Third-Party Service Provider may use third parties under strict confidentiality and data protection requirements for the purposes of payment processing services.
b) Subscriptions. If you purchase access to certain features and functionality of the Services on a time-limited basis (a “Subscription”), the Fee for such Subscription (“Service Subscription Fee”) will be billed at the start of the Subscription (“Subscription Service Commencement Date”) and at regular intervals in accordance with your elections at the time of purchase. Sunshine reserves the right to change the timing of our billing. Sunshine reserves the right to change the Subscription pricing at any time in accordance with the Section titled “Modifications” below. If changes to the Subscription price occur that impact your Subscription, Sunshine will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you, such as by sending an email to the email address associated with your account. If you do not agree with such changes, you may cancel your Subscription as set forth in Sections titled “Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via Sunshine” or “Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via a Third-Party Application Store”. Sunshine is not obligated to provide the Service to you until Sunshine accepts your order by a confirmatory email or other appropriate means of communication.
1. Automatic Renewal. If you elect to purchase a Subscription, your Subscription will continue and automatically renew at Sunshine’s thencurrent price for such Subscription until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The frequency at which your Subscription renews (i.e., weekly, monthly, annually, etc.) will be designated at the time at you sign up for the Subscription and may be modified by you via your account settings. By subscribing, you authorize Sunshine to charge the payment method designated in your account now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent Subscription period. Upon renewal of your Subscription, if Sunshine does not receive payment, (i) you shall pay all amounts due on your account upon demand and/or (ii) you agree that Sunshine may either terminate or suspend your Subscription and continue to attempt to charge your designated payment method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new Subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
(i) Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via a Third-Party Application Store. If you wish to cancel, change, or terminate a Subscription that you purchased from a third-party application store, you must do so prior to the Renewal Commencement Date via such thirdparty application store.
(ii) Effect of Cancellation. If you cancel your Subscription, you may use your Subscription until the end of your then-current Subscription term; your Subscription will not be renewed after your thencurrent term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Service Subscription Fee paid for the thencurrent Subscription period.
Third-Party Application Access:
With respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you shall only use the App Store Sourced Application (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (ii) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple Media Terms of Service, except that such App Store Sourced Application may be accessed, acquired, and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Apple’s Family Sharing function, volume purchasing, or Legacy Contacts function. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this section, with respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Google Play store (a “Google Play Sourced Application”), you may have additional license rights with respect to use of the Application on a shared basis within your designated family group.
The following applies to any App Store Sourced Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store:
a) You acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement is concluded between you and Sunshine only, and not Apple, and (ii) Sunshine, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service.
b) You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application.
c) In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between Sunshine and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Sunshine.
d) You and Sunshine acknowledge that, as between Sunshine and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
e) You and Sunshine acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Sunshine and Apple, Sunshine, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by this Agreement.
f) You and Sunshine acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
g) Without limiting any other terms of this Agreement, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.
