1. Overview of READKIDZ Services

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from using the Services; and (c) your registration and your use of the Services comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have the authority to bind you to these Terms, and you agree to be bound by these Terms. You will require your end-users to comply with (and will not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable laws, regulations, and these Terms.

3. Accounts and Registration

Certain features of the Services may require you to pay fees as set forth on our https://www.readkidz.com/pricing/ (“Pricing Page”). We may charge different prices for certain features of the Services. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that will be charged to you. Unless otherwise stated in these Terms, all fees are in US dollars and are non-refundable, except as required by law.

4.3 Package Recharge Services

The Services may include certain package recharge plans, where before using the paid Services of the platform, you can choose to recharge and purchase different packages to enjoy more Services, and each package corresponds to specific service content and validity period. Please read the descriptions of each package carefully. READKIDZ or its third-party payment processor will charge the package fees through the payment method associated with your account or any other payment method you provide to us. You can request a refund by logging into your account or contacting us at help@readkidz.com.
