These services are available as a browser-based application ("Services"). By visiting the website or the corresponding WAP site ("Sites") and/or registering the Services, you accept that you are entering into a binding contract with us governed by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Please take the time to read and understand the Terms of Service. If you do not agree with the Terms of Service as well as the Privacy Policy, please don't use the Sites or any of the Services.

The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. These changes will form part of the Terms of Service, even if you do not re-use the Sites. You are responsible for being familiar with any amendments or modifications of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

2. ACCESS AND AVAILABILITY

Full access to the Service can be provided by a fee-based subscription which can be purchased for different periods and will be automatically renewed if not cancelled. We grant our subscribers full access to the content as long as they have an active subscription.

The fees shall become due upon purchase of the subscription irrespective of whether or not you actually use the Service; the consideration for the fees shall solely be the provision of the right to download, receive and/or access the content.

You agree to pay on time any fees, tariffs or other charges incurred in creating the subscription.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" at the time of use or consumption and Provider does not accept any liability or provide any guarantees if personal settings, information or messages are not saved (on time), are deleted or incorrectly delivered.

To make the most out of our Service you must have the necessary mobile communication means with easy internet access. Some wireless applications are only available for a select number of mobile devices. This is an issue with its manufacturers, hence out of the control of Provider. To prevent any disappointment, we ask you to check the compatibility of your device before subscribing to the Service.

For getting full access to a Service you will be charged the applicable fees.

Ooredoo: The charge for the service is OMR 1.575 per week (5% VAT inclusive). You will be charged proportionately as per available balance.

The charges will be invoiced through the mobile bill you receive from the mobile operator of your network or through any other selected payment method. Separate text message fees and/or network fees from your mobile operator can apply.

In the free welcome message from Provider you will find information about the Service fee and the frequency of the Service. We ask you to check and store this welcome message on your mobile device. You will pay or reimburse to Provider all national and local or other taxes (excluding taxes based on the net profit of Provider) including but not limited to VAT or any levies imposed in lieu thereof, which taxes are based on the costs due for the use of the Service, regardless of whether those taxes are levied either now or in the future by international, European, national or local authorities or by any other body or bodies authorized to levy taxes.

All fees, including fees for existing subscription contracts, are subject to change upon notice from Provider. Provider will provide you with reasonable notice of such change. If you do not accept the new fees (which will be applicable on a prospective basis only), you may cancel your subscription effective immediately upon termination.

If you dispute any payment made, you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim.

5. SECURITY AND REGISTRATION OBLIGATION
