We offer a streaming service of audio guides for sexual exploration as well as educational articles about sexuality in the form of stories (which we call "products" below).
Melba's products are provided to you subject to acceptance of the terms and conditions set forth in these terms and conditions.
Prices, descriptions or availability of Products are described in the respective parts of the app and are subject to change without notice.
Although the Products on the app are presented with the greatest possible technical accuracy, the representations on the app by any means (including, as the case may be, graphics, images, colors, sounds) are for informational purposes only and do not imply any guarantee as to the characteristics of the Product purchased.
After an initial free registration on the app and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, various paid options allow you to access Melba products. We currently offer (as of September 15, 2024) the following access options: monthly access or annual access.
Monthly access is a subscription per month. Payment of a monthly subscription gives you unlimited access to Melba content for the duration of the subscription. The subscription contract begins at the time and date the contract is concluded.
Annual access is one subscription per year. Payment of an annual subscription gives you unlimited access to Melba content for the duration of the subscription. The subscription contract begins at the time and date the contract is concluded.
If you subscribe on registration, you are entitled to a 7-day trial period. You must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of the current term to cancel its automatic renewal and avoid switching to a paid subscription.
Purchases can be made directly on our app via in-app payment systems (such as the App Store/Google Play). When you choose to make a Purchase, you will be prompted to confirm it with the relevant payment provider. Your payment method, such as a payment card or your third-party account, e.g., Apple Pay/Google Play in the App Store/Google Play (the user's "Payment Method"), will be debited with the amounts posted for the Purchase(s) you selected and you authorize us and/or Apple/Google or another third-party account (if applicable) to debit you.
The Purchase is confirmed at the time the financial transaction is authorized and confirmed with your bank or third party account (such as mobile operators or the Apple/Google App Store).
In the event you purchase a recurring subscription with automatic renewal (a "Subscription"), your Payment Method continues to be charged for the Subscription until the end of the current Subscription period. After your initial commitment period, and again after any subsequent commitment period, your Subscription will automatically renew for an equivalent period unless otherwise specified at the time of Purchase. By purchasing a Subscription, you are contractually committed to continue recurring payments throughout the Subscription period and any current renewal period, until you terminate the automatic renewal of that Subscription.
We remind you that some Subscriptions are subject to special offers, under which the price is reduced for a given period before renewal at the standard price (without reduction).
Your payment information is then stored and used to automatically renew the Subscription. You are free to update your Payment Method at any time. By agreeing to our Terms and Conditions, you authorize us to continue to collect payments due for each Purchase (whether payment or renewal) following any update to your Payment Method.
Any objections to a payment already made should be directed to our Customer Service Department at the address listed in the "Requests and Complaints" section below if you made your Purchase directly on our Services. You may unconditionally withdraw your consent to automatic card payments at any time. Please note, however, that you remain obligated to pay any outstanding amounts owed to us until the end of the current Subscription period, provided that you have also cancelled the automatic renewal of your Subscription.
In accordance with Article L.221-18 of the French Consumer Code, you have a period of fourteen days from the day following a Purchase to exercise your right of withdrawal (without penalty and without giving any reason) by writing to the e-mail address indicated in the section "Requests and complaints" below.
Subscriptions begin as soon as the Purchase is confirmed. You may, if you wish, access the Services immediately without waiting for the end of the withdrawal period, in accordance with Article L.221-25 of the French Consumer Code.
If you purchased a paid product through the App Store/Google Play and wish to cancel within 14 days of purchase, cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple/Google under Apple/Google's own terms and conditions, over which we have no control. To request a refund, you must log into your Apple/Google account and follow Apple/Google's cancellation and refund instructions.
