Karma

16.1. “Karma” is the official in-app currency of Rivet and can be used to acquire digital items, premium features and/or other services offered on the Platform. Karma is not a substitute for real currency, does not earn interest, and has no equivalent value in real currency. Except as otherwise outlined in the Creator Program Policy, Karma cannot be redeemed for any real currency, and Rivet is not obligated to exchange a User’s Karma for anything else of value.

16.2. Rivet also allows Users to earn Karma (“Earned Karma”) by engaging in qualifying actions as defined on the platform (“Creator Program”). This includes, but is not limited to, contribution, participation, or creator activity on the Platform.

16.3. Earned Karma is subject to and governed by the Creator Program Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Please review our Creator Program Policy to understand more about our Earned Karma.

Terms for Virtual Items

16.4. Virtual Items represent a limited license right governed by this Agreement, and, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, no title or ownership in or to Virtual Items is being transferred or assigned to you. Unless otherwise specifically stated in these Terms, this Agreement should not be construed as a sale of any rights in Virtual Items.

16.5. Any Virtual Item balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. Virtual Items do not incur fees for non-use; however, the license granted to you will terminate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or when Rivet ceases to provide our Services, or Your account is otherwise closed or terminated.

16.6. Rivet, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Items and/or may distribute Virtual Items with or without charge.

16.7. Rivet may manage, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate Virtual Items at any time, including taking actions that may impact the perceived value or purchase price, if applicable, of any Virtual Items. Rivet shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event we exercise any such rights.

16.8. The transfer of Virtual Items is prohibited, and you shall not sell, redeem, or otherwise transfer them to any person or entity. Virtual Items may only be redeemed through our services available on the Platform, including for certain gift cards, which may be made available solely at the discretion of Rivet. Such redemption remains subject to local consumer-protection rules regarding disclosures, expiration, and fees.

ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF VIRTUAL ITEMS ARE FINAL. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RIVET IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR ANY UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY (SUCH AS THROUGH AN ACCOUNT BAN).

Purchasing Karma

16.9. Karma may be made available for purchase through the Platform. Purchases are handled by third-party app stores such as Apple App Store and Google Play Store (each, an “App Store”).

16.10. If you buy Karma through an App Store as an in-app purchase, the applicable store’s terms for in-app purchases apply as well as this Terms of Use. For payment-related support, please contact Apple Support or Google Play Support directly.

16.11. We may also allow Users additional ways to collect Karma from time to time, and which, unless earned in ways as defined under the Creator Program Policy, continue to be non-refundable, non-redeemable and only to be used on the Platform.

16.12. Any and all purchases shall only be available to the registered users of Rivet.

16.13. Prices on Rivet may fluctuate from time to time based on various factors. All transactions occur on an "as presented" basis at the displayed price at checkout.

16.14. If you purchase a gift card to redeem Karma, the relevant gift card terms and conditions will also apply.

16.15. All charges and payments for Karma will be made in the currency specified at the point of purchase. When buying Karma, the price displayed will include any taxes or applicable charges. Additional fees may be imposed by your payment provider.

16.16. We reserve the unconditional right to limit purchase quantities, remove products or features from availability, set conditions on promotional offers, restrict user purchasing privileges, and decline to fulfill any transaction.

Refunds and Chargebacks

16.17. You are responsible for any issues (like refunds, chargebacks, or fees and related costs) related to your payments, whether or not directly authorized by you. If a payment fails, is returned, or remains unpaid, we may suspend your account or your access to Virtual Items.

16.18. All transactions are final with no refunds permitted.

Termination

16.19. We may terminate or suspend your right to access Virtual Items, or to buy Karma, immediately and without notice if we believe that you have breached our Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, Privacy Policy, and if applicable, the Creator Program Policy.
