- Be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your home country.

You can delete your Account at any time by going to the ‘Settings’ page and clicking on the ‘Delete account’ link. Your Account will be deleted immediately, but it may take some time for Your Content (defined below) to be completely removed from the App.
We use a combination of automated systems, user reports, and a team of moderators to monitor and review accounts and content to identify breaches of these Terms. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend any Account, restrict access to the App, or use any operational, technological, legal, or other means to enforce these Terms.

Refunds: Generally, all charges for purchases are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
6. Virtual Items

7. Push Notifications; Location-Based Features
We may provide you with emails, text messages, push notifications, alerts, and other messages related to the App and/or Zinglez services. You can manage your notification preferences in your device settings.
