1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing, browsing, or using the Cheery mobile application (the "App")—including all features, content, tools, and services provided through the App—you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this User Agreement (the "Agreement"), as well as our Privacy Policy and any additional terms or guidelines referenced herein (collectively, the "Terms"). If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must immediately cease using the App.

Cheery reserves the right to modify, update, or revise these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Agreement within the App or via other reasonable means (e.g., in-app notification). Your continued use of the App after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. We encourage you to review this Agreement periodically.

This Agreement applies to all users of the App, including but not limited to users who browse content, upload or share videos, interact with other users, use AI chat assistance, or access any other App features. Users may access the App without creating an account ("Guest Access"), but certain features may be limited to Guest Access; this Agreement governs all Guest Access and account-based use (if accounts are introduced in the future).

2. ELIGIBILITY

To use the App, you must:

  • Be at least 13 years of age (in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"));
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement (or, if you are under 18 but at least 13, have obtained parental/guardian consent to use the App);
  • Reside in a jurisdiction where use of the App is permitted by law; and
  • Not be prohibited from using the App by any applicable law or prior written notice from Cheery.

By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet all the above eligibility requirements. If Cheery discovers that you do not meet these requirements, we may suspend or terminate your access to the App without notice.

6. DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. CHEERY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement;

Cheery does not guarantee that the App will be compatible with all devices or operating systems, or that it will be free from viruses or other harmful components. You use the App at your own risk, and Cheery shall not be liable for any damage to your device or data resulting from your use of the App.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such cases, any implied warranties shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHEERY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF CHEERY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

CHEERY’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED $100.00 USD. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UNDER WHICH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT (E.G., CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY).

These limitations of liability shall apply even if the limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
