This license allows VEME to operate, improve and promote the platform, as well as its functionalities, in an efficient manner, allowing its use in promotional campaigns, commercial and any other purpose related to VEME's services.

6. AI MODEL TRAINING AND DATA USE

As part of the services offered by VEME, we use artificial intelligence (AI) models for the generation and improvement of video and meme content. In order to continuously optimise our services and provide a better user experience, VEME may use the content you generate, share or interact with, as well as other data associated with your use of the platform, to train and refine our AI models. This includes improving the accuracy, cultural relevance and effectiveness of the content generated by the AI models and optimising the platform's algorithms to provide you with a more personalised and functional experience.

Using this data allows us not only to fine-tune the performance of our AI models, but also to improve user interaction with the platform, tailoring our features more effectively to your needs and preferences. The data generated by your use of the platform may include information related to the type of content you create, the interactions you have within the community, and video and meme performance metrics, among others.

VEME is committed to treating all data used to train our AI models in accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations, such as the GDPR and other applicable regulations. In order to protect your privacy, we will take steps to anonymise or pseudonymise any personal data where necessary or appropriate. This means that, while we use your data to improve our services, we will take precautions to ensure that your personal information cannot be directly identified, unless it is strictly necessary for the operation of the platform or the provision of our services.

By using the platform, you agree that VEME may process your content and data in this way in order to improve its services and AI models. However, we will never use your personal data beyond what is strictly necessary for these purposes, and we will always respect your privacy and data protection rights. If at any time you decide to delete your account or stop using the platform, VEME may continue to use the data collected in an anonymised form to further improve its services, without linking such data to your identity.

7. SUBSCRIPTIONS

The user will be able to use additional premium features of the platform through recurring billing subscriptions. When a user purchases a subscription, VEME will send a confirmation email to the user. This confirmation email will be produced automatically so that the user has confirmation of the payment and the start of the subscription. If the user does not receive the purchase and subscription start confirmation email, it may have been sent to their spam folder.

Subscriptions include automatic billing payments. You authorise VEME to renew your subscription and to charge you periodically and progressively on each billing date. The subscription billing date is the date on which you purchase the subscription and make the first payment. On the corresponding billing date, you will automatically be charged the corresponding subscription fee. The subscription will remain active until you cancel or unsubscribe. You must cancel the subscription before it renews to avoid the next billing period. We will bill you for the subscription billing fee in the payment method you choose during registration and subscription purchase.

Subscriptions will automatically renew for an additional period unless cancelled before the next billing period. To cancel subscriptions, users must submit a cancellation request via our contact information and the subscription will be cancelled for the next billing period. If a subscription is cancelled, the user may continue to use the paid features of the website for the subscription until the next billing period, at which time the subscription and access to the paid features of the website will be cancelled.

VEME may change or discontinue the availability of subscriptions at any time at its sole discretion. If a subscription purchase is cancelled, the payment made for the subscription for the applicable billing period will be refunded. This does not affect your statutory rights.

8. PAYMENTS

Users will be able to pay for subscriptions through the following payment methods:

Credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex, Diners, etc.)

The subscription payment will be charged to your credit or debit card once the payment and subscription registration process is completed. The subscription will be activated once the payment process is completed and the user will have access to the platform's functionalities immediately. The subscription will be charged on each billing date automatically. Once the transaction is processed, we will send an electronic receipt to the user's email address.

If you find any inconsistencies in your billing, please contact us via our contact details or you can make a complaint via the customer service of the relevant payment processor.

If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. No payment will be charged to your card and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card issuing bank withdraws the authorisation. This usually takes 2 to 5 working days. Your card may be declined for a number of reasons, such as insufficient funds, AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch or you have entered an incorrect security code.

If your payment is declined, you will need to provide an alternative payment method or provide another card on which the payment can be charged and processed.

Your payment details will be treated and retained securely and for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of the subscriptions. VEME reserves the right to engage any payment processor available.
