Terms of Service

Effective date: 8 September 2026
Last updated: 8 September 2026
Version: 1.0

0. Summary (not legally binding)

This summary is provided for convenience only. It is not part of the agreement and does not modify the sections below.

1. Who we are and what this document is

1.1 These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between:

1.2 The App. "App" means the mobile and desktop application published by the Provider that acts as a client for the Google Blogger platform, together with all associated software, backend services, application programming interfaces, content and updates. The App is distributed under storefront-specific names, including "Blogging for Blogspot Blog" on the Apple App Store in the United States (Apple App ID 6504722976), and under equivalent names in other storefronts and on Google Play. All such listings refer to the same App and are governed by these Terms.

1.3 Contact. support@umango.in

1.4 Acceptance. By downloading, installing, creating an account in, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by the Privacy Policy and the Intellectual Property, Trademark and Acceptable Use Policy, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1.5 Order of precedence. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any of the incorporated policies, these Terms prevail, except that (a) the Privacy Policy prevails on questions of personal data handling, and (b) Section 20 (Apple) and Section 21 (Google Play) prevail over any conflicting term to the extent required by the relevant store's rules.

2. THE APP IS AN UNOFFICIAL, THIRD-PARTY CLIENT — PLEASE READ

2.1 No affiliation. The App is an independent, third-party, unofficial client application. The Provider is not affiliated with, associated with, authorised by, endorsed by, sponsored by, certified by, or in any way officially connected with Google LLC, Google Ireland Limited, Alphabet Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, "Google"), nor with the Blogger or Blogspot services.

2.2 Facilitator only. The App functions solely as a client and facilitator. It presents an alternative user interface through which you issue instructions to Google's official Blogger API v3 and to publicly accessible Blogger/Blogspot resources, using your own Google Account credentials and your own authorisation. Every action the App takes against your blog is taken as you, on your instruction, under authorisation you granted to the App through Google's own OAuth consent screen, and is subject to Google's own permissions, quotas and controls.

2.3 Not a replacement. The App is not a replacement for, substitute for, fork of, or competing implementation of Blogger or Blogspot. Your blog, your posts, your comments, your followers, your domain and your Blogger account remain hosted, stored and controlled by Google, on Google's infrastructure, and remain governed at all times by Google's Terms of Service, the Blogger Terms of Service, the Blogger Content Policy and the Google Privacy Policy. Nothing in these Terms alters, overrides or limits your agreement with Google.

2.4 No trademark claim. "Google", "Blogger", "Blogspot", "Gemini", "Android", "Google Play", "Firebase" and related names, marks and logos are trademarks of Google. "Apple", "App Store", "iOS", "iPadOS" and "macOS" are trademarks of Apple Inc. The Provider claims no right, title or interest of any kind in those marks. Any use of them by the App or in its store listings, screenshots or descriptions is nominative and descriptive only — that is, made solely to identify the third-party service with which the App is compatible, as permitted by applicable trademark law. See the Intellectual Property, Trademark and Acceptable Use Policy for the full statement.

2.5 Dependency risk. Because the App depends on Google's Blogger API and on publicly accessible Blogger resources, features may degrade, break, change or cease entirely if Google modifies, deprecates, rate-limits, restricts or discontinues those services, or if Google revokes or restricts the Provider's API project or your authorisation. The Provider has no control over this and gives no assurance that the App will continue to function. Section 14 and Section 15 apply.

2.6 Your relationship with Google. You are solely responsible for maintaining your Google Account and Blogger account in good standing and for complying with Google's terms. Suspension, termination or restriction of your Google or Blogger account by Google will prevent the App from working, and is not something the Provider can remedy, appeal or compensate you for.

3. Eligibility

3.1 You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if lower and if a parent or guardian has consented.

3.2 You must additionally meet Google's own minimum age requirements for a Google Account and for Blogger in your country.

3.3 If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

3.4 You must not be a person barred from receiving the App under the laws of India, the United States, or any other applicable jurisdiction, and must not be located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or territory subject to comprehensive trade sanctions.

3.5 You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that if you are using the App on behalf of an organisation you have authority to bind that organisation.

4. Your account and authorisation

4.1 Sign-in. The App requires you to sign in with a Google Account and to grant the App an OAuth authorisation scope permitting it to read and manage the Blogger blogs associated with that account. You may review and revoke this authorisation at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revocation will disable most functionality of the App.

4.2 Your responsibility. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, for safeguarding your device and Google credentials, and for promptly notifying us at support@umango.in of any unauthorised use you become aware of.

4.3 Accuracy. You agree that the information associated with your use of the App is accurate and that you will keep it current.

4.4 One person, one account. You may not share your account, sell or transfer it, or permit any other person to use the App under your authorisation.

5. Licence to use the App

5.1 Grant. Subject to your continuing compliance with these Terms, the Provider grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on devices you own or control, solely for your own personal or internal business purposes.

5.2 Reservation. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Provider and its licensors. This is a licence, not a sale. No ownership passes to you.

5.3 Restrictions. You must not, and must not permit any other person to:

(a) copy, modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the App, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law (including, in the EEA/UK, statutory interoperability rights) and then only after giving the Provider prior written notice and a reasonable opportunity to supply the necessary information;
(c) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise make the App available to any third party;
(d) remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notice;
(e) use the App to build a competing product, or to benchmark it for public disclosure without our prior written consent;
(f) circumvent, disable or interfere with any security, authentication, rate-limiting, attestation, entitlement-checking or usage-monitoring feature of the App;
(g) access the App's backend services other than through the App's own interface, or use any automated means (scripts, scrapers, bots, headless clients) to access those services;
(h) impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the App's infrastructure or on the Blogger API through the App; or
(i) use the App in violation of Google's terms, any applicable law, or the Acceptable Use rules in Section 8.

6. The Service, the Feed and content moderation

6.1 Core functionality. The App enables you to view, compose, edit, publish, schedule, delete and manage posts, pages, labels, comments and images on Blogger blogs you control; to view statistics exposed by the Blogger API; to browse, search and follow publicly available Blogger/Blogspot blogs; and to receive notifications about blogs you follow.

6.2 The Feed. The App operates a discovery Feed. Where you publish a post through the App, or where the App identifies a publicly available Blogger post, that post — or an extract, summary, image, title, label or metadata derived from it — may be indexed, cached and displayed to other users of the App in the Feed, in search results, in recommendation surfaces and in notifications. Only content that is already publicly accessible on the open web at its Blogger/Blogspot URL is eligible. Content in blogs set to private, or otherwise not publicly readable, is not included in the Feed by design.

6.3 Automated analysis and moderation. Content that is a candidate for the Feed is processed by automated systems, including a third-party large language model (Google Gemini), to detect the language of the post, assign a topical category, and screen for policy violations (including spam, sexual content, child-safety concerns, illegal activity and violent extremism). These systems are automated and imperfect; they may produce false positives and false negatives. We may also apply automated quality thresholds (for example, minimum content length).

6.4 Our discretion. We may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, decline to include, demote, remove or restrict any content in or from the Feed, search index or recommendations, for any reason or no reason, including suspected policy violation, low quality, legal risk, or a request from a rights-holder or authority. Removal from our Feed does not remove or alter anything on your Blogger blog — your content remains published on Google's systems and under your control.

6.5 Appeals. If you believe your content was wrongly removed from or excluded from the Feed, you may write to support@umango.in with the blog URL and post URL. We will review the matter and respond within a reasonable time, and in any event in accordance with Section 12.

6.6 Reports. The App allows users to report posts appearing in the Feed. Reports are logged against the reporting user's identifier and reviewed by us. Submitting knowingly false or abusive reports is a breach of these Terms.

6.7 No editorial endorsement. Content in the Feed is created by third parties. We do not author, verify, endorse or assume responsibility for it. Any reliance you place on it is at your own risk.

6.8 Changes to the Service. We may add, modify, suspend or discontinue any feature at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to give notice of material adverse changes to paid features, and Section 7.8 applies.

7. Paid features, subscriptions and in-app purchases

7.1 Freemium model. The App is offered on a freemium basis. Certain features require a one-time purchase or a recurring subscription ("Paid Features"). The features included in each tier are described in the App at the point of purchase and may change in accordance with Section 7.8.

7.2 Store billing. All purchases and subscriptions are transacted through, and billed by, the Apple App Store or Google Play (each a "Store"), in accordance with that Store's terms. The Provider does not process, receive or store your payment card or bank details. Your contract of purchase for the transaction itself is with the Store operator.

7.3 Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price for the same period, and your Store account is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of that period. Renewal terms are shown to you before purchase.

7.4 Cancellation. You manage and cancel subscriptions in your Store account settings (iOS/macOS: Settings → your name → Subscriptions; Android: Google Play → Subscriptions). The Provider cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then.

7.5 Free trials and introductory offers. Where a free trial or introductory price is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the trial converts automatically into a paid subscription.

7.6 Refunds. Refunds are governed by the Store's policy and are granted or refused by the Store, not by the Provider. We have no ability to issue refunds for Store transactions. This Section does not limit any non-waivable statutory right of withdrawal, cancellation or refund you may have — including under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India) — and you may exercise any such right by writing to support@umango.in as well as to the Store.

7.7 Entitlement management. Subscription status is verified through a third-party subscription infrastructure provider (RevenueCat, Inc.). Entitlements may take a short time to synchronise across your devices.

7.8 Price and feature changes. We may change prices and the composition of Paid Features. Price changes will not affect a billing period already paid for. Where a Store requires your consent to a price increase, your subscription will not renew at the higher price unless you consent. If we materially and adversely reduce the features of a tier you have already paid for, you may cancel and seek a pro-rata refund from the Store.

7.9 Taxes. Prices displayed may include or exclude tax depending on your jurisdiction and the Store's configuration. You are responsible for any taxes not collected by the Store.

7.10 No effect on Google. Paid Features relate solely to functionality of the App. They do not purchase, upgrade, extend or affect any Google, Blogger or Blogspot service, storage, domain or feature.

8. Acceptable use

8.1 You must not use the App to create, upload, publish, transmit, store, index or distribute any content, or to engage in any conduct, that:

(a) infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, database right, right of publicity or other intellectual property or proprietary right;
(b) is unlawful, defamatory, libellous, fraudulent, deceptive or misleading;
(c) is obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit, or sexualises any person;
(d) depicts, promotes, facilitates or solicits child sexual abuse material or the sexual exploitation of minors (we report such material to the appropriate authorities and terminate the account immediately and permanently);
(e) harasses, bullies, stalks, threatens, or incites violence or hatred against any individual or group, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or serious disease;
(f) promotes or facilitates terrorism or violent extremism;
(g) promotes, facilitates or instructs on illegal activity, including the sale of controlled substances, weapons, or stolen data;
(h) constitutes spam, bulk unsolicited messaging, engagement farming, scraped or auto-generated low-value content published at scale, keyword stuffing, cloaking, link schemes, or other manipulation of the Feed, search index or recommendation systems;
(i) impersonates any person or entity, or misrepresents your affiliation with any person or entity — including any suggestion that you or your content is affiliated with, endorsed by, or official output of Google, Blogger, Blogspot or the Provider;
(j) contains malware, ransomware, spyware or any other malicious code;
(k) violates the privacy or data-protection rights of any person, including by publishing another person's personal information without a lawful basis;
(l) violates Google's Terms of Service, the Blogger Terms of Service, the Blogger Content Policy, or Google API Services User Data Policy; or
(m) violates the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules thereunder (including the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021), or any other applicable law in your jurisdiction or in India.

8.2 You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App, its backend services, other users' accounts, or any system or network connected to the App; probe, scan or test the vulnerability of any system; or interfere with service to any user, host or network.

8.3 You must not use the App or any output of it to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine learning model without our prior written consent, other than for your own personal, non-commercial experimentation on your own content.

8.4 Enforcement. We may investigate suspected breaches and may, at our discretion, warn you, remove or restrict content, limit features, suspend or terminate your access, and disclose information to law enforcement where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law or necessary to prevent imminent harm.

9. Your content

9.1 You retain ownership. You retain all right, title and interest in and to the text, images, audio, video and other material you create, upload or publish through the App ("User Content"). These Terms transfer no ownership of User Content to the Provider.

9.2 Licence you grant us. To operate the App you grant the Provider a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (to our service providers only), transferable licence to host, store, cache, reproduce, reformat, excerpt, translate, index, analyse, transmit and publicly display User Content solely to the extent necessary to: (a) transmit it to Google's Blogger API at your instruction; (b) render it in the App; (c) where the content is publicly published, include it in the Feed, search index, recommendations and notifications as described in Section 6; (d) perform automated moderation and categorisation; (e) create backups and caches; and (f) comply with law.

9.3 Scope and duration. This licence is limited to the purposes in Section 9.2, and terminates when you delete the content or your account, subject to (i) a commercially reasonable period to purge caches, backups and downstream indexes, and (ii) retention required by law or to resolve disputes. The licence does not permit us to sell your content, license it to third parties for their own purposes, or use it in advertising without your separate consent.

9.4 Your warranties. You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licences, consents and permissions in the User Content, and that the User Content and our permitted use of it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or any law.

9.5 Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for your User Content, including its legality, accuracy and appropriateness, and for complying with any law applicable to it in every jurisdiction in which it may be accessed.

9.6 Backups. The App is not a backup service. Your authoritative copy lives on Google's systems. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups. We are not liable for loss of User Content (Section 15).

9.7 Feedback. Any suggestion, idea, bug report or feature request you send us is governed by Section 4 of the Intellectual Property, Trademark and Acceptable Use Policy (assignment of feedback).

10. Public blogs, blog owners and removal requests

10.1 The App discovers, caches and indexes publicly accessible Blogger/Blogspot blogs, public author profile pages, public RSS/Atom feeds, and metadata derived from them, in order to power search, discovery, recommendations, follow and notification features. It does so through the official Blogger API, publicly published feeds, ordinary retrieval of publicly served pages, and publicly available web-crawl datasets.

10.2 If you are a blog owner and you do not want your public blog to be indexed, cached, recommended, followable or surfaced in the App, write to support@umango.in from an email address associated with the blog, or from the Google Account that owns it, identifying the blog URL. We will process the request and exclude the blog within a reasonable period, ordinarily within 15 days.

10.3 Removal from the App does not affect the public availability of your blog on Google's systems or its indexing by any other service.

11. Advertising

11.1 The free tier of the App is supported by advertising served by Google AdMob. Ads are labelled as such.

11.2 Advertisements are supplied by third parties. We do not endorse, verify or assume responsibility for advertised products, services or advertiser conduct. Any dealings with an advertiser are solely between you and that advertiser.

11.3 Where required by law, the App will ask for your consent before ads are personalised, and (on iOS) before any tracking identifier is accessed. You may withdraw consent, and may reset or limit your advertising identifier, using your device settings. See the Privacy Policy, Section 7.

11.4 Purchasing an ad-free Paid Feature, where offered, removes ads served by the App. It does not remove ads that a blog author has placed on their own blog and that appear within embedded web content.

12. Notices, complaints and Grievance Officer

12.1 Grievance Officer (India). In accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023:

Grievance Officer: Utsav Mangla
Email: support@umango.in
Address: Delhi, India (full postal address available on written request)

12.2 We will acknowledge a complaint within 24 hours and endeavour to resolve it within 15 days of receipt. Complaints relating to content that exposes a person's private area, shows a person in full or partial nudity, or depicts a person in a sexual act, or that is impersonating in nature, will be actioned within 24 hours.

12.3 Copyright and trademark complaints are handled under Section 6 of the Intellectual Property, Trademark and Acceptable Use Policy.

12.4 Data protection complaints and rights requests are handled under Section 10 of the Privacy Policy.

12.5 EU users may also complain to their national consumer authority, and may use the European Commission's ODR platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged to participate in, and do not commit to, alternative dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.

13. Term, suspension and termination

13.1 These Terms take effect when you first use the App and continue until terminated.

13.2 By you. You may terminate at any time by deleting the App and revoking its Google authorisation. To delete your account and associated data, follow the in-App deletion flow or write to support@umango.in.

13.3 By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, immediately and without notice where we reasonably believe you have breached Section 8 (Acceptable use), where required by law or by a Store or by Google, or to prevent harm to users or to the App. In other cases we will give reasonable notice.

13.4 Effect. On termination: the licence in Section 5 ends; you must stop using the App; and we will delete or anonymise your data in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Your Blogger content is unaffected and remains with Google.

13.5 Paid Features. If we terminate for your breach, no refund is due. If we discontinue the App entirely, we will use reasonable efforts to facilitate a pro-rata refund of prepaid, unused subscription fees through the relevant Store, subject to that Store's policies.

13.6 Survival. Sections 2, 9.2–9.6, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 22, and any provision which by its nature should survive, survive termination.

14. Disclaimers

14.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. The Provider expressly disclaims all warranties, conditions and representations, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and non-infringement.

14.2 Without limiting Section 14.1, the Provider does not warrant that: the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; defects will be corrected; the App is free of viruses or harmful components; results obtained from the App will be accurate or reliable; the App will remain compatible with Blogger or with any Google API; content in the Feed is accurate, lawful or suitable; or that automated moderation will identify all violating content or will not wrongly flag compliant content.

14.3 The Provider is not responsible for the acts or omissions of Google, Apple, or any other third-party service, or for any loss of data, content, blog, account, revenue or reach arising from them.

14.4 Statutory rights. Nothing in this Section excludes or limits any warranty, guarantee or right that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law. Consumers in the EEA, the UK, India, Australia and other jurisdictions with non-waivable consumer guarantees retain those rights in full, and Sections 14 and 15 apply only to the extent permitted in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of liability and liability cap

15.1 Excluded losses. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROVIDER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, READERSHIP, ADVERTISING INCOME, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR CONTENT, however caused and on any theory of liability (contract, tort including negligence, statute or otherwise), even if the Provider has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

15.2 Aggregate cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROVIDER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP, FOR ALL CLAIMS IN AGGREGATE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

(a) the total amount you actually paid for the App and its Paid Features in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the first such claim; and
(b) fifty United States dollars (US$50) or its equivalent in Indian Rupees at the prevailing rate.

15.3 One cap. The cap in Section 15.2 is a single aggregate cap across all claims and all causes of action. Multiple claims do not enlarge it.

15.4 Basis of the bargain. You acknowledge that the App is offered free or at a low price, that the allocation of risk in Sections 14 and 15 is a fundamental basis of the bargain between the parties, and that the Provider would not make the App available on these commercial terms without it.

15.5 Carve-outs. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Provider's liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) gross negligence or wilful misconduct; (d) any liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India), the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, the EU Product Liability Directive, and equivalent non-waivable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

15.6 Consumers. If you are a consumer, the Provider is liable only for foreseeable loss arising from a breach of these Terms or from a failure to use reasonable care and skill, and is not liable for loss that was not foreseeable at the time you accepted these Terms, or for loss arising from your use of the App for a business purpose.

15.7 Time bar. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, failing which it is permanently barred. This does not apply where a longer limitation period is mandatory under applicable law.

16. Indemnity

16.1 To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Provider from and against any claim, demand, proceeding, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use or misuse of the App; (c) your breach of these Terms or of any incorporated policy; (d) your breach of any law or of any third party's rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights; or (e) your breach of your agreement with Google or with a Store.

16.2 Consumers. If you are a consumer, this Section applies only to the extent that the claim arises from your wilful, reckless or negligent act or omission, or from your breach of these Terms, and does not extend beyond what is permitted by the consumer protection law applicable to you.

16.3 We will notify you of any claim for which we seek indemnity, and you may not settle any claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.

17. Dispute resolution, arbitration and class-action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE PROVIDER ARE RESOLVED, AND CONTAINS A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER AND AN OPT-OUT RIGHT.

17.1 Informal resolution first (mandatory)

Before commencing arbitration or any proceeding, the party raising a dispute must send a written Notice of Dispute to the other (to the Provider: support@umango.in, subject line "Notice of Dispute"). The Notice must state the sender's name, the email address associated with the account, a description of the dispute, and the relief sought. The parties will negotiate in good faith for sixty (60) days from receipt. This period is a condition precedent to arbitration and tolls any applicable limitation period.

17.2 Binding arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved under Section 17.1, it shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, and not in court, subject to the carve-outs in Sections 17.5 and 17.6.

17.3 Class-action and representative-action waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy (and only that one) shall be severed from arbitration and brought in the courts identified in Section 18, and the remainder of this Section 17 shall continue to apply.

17.4 Severability of this Section

If any part of Section 17 is found unenforceable, that part shall be severed and the remainder shall continue in force, except that if Section 17.3 is found unenforceable in its entirety, Section 17.2 shall be void in its entirety and disputes shall be resolved under Section 18.

17.5 Carve-outs — claims not subject to arbitration

The following are excluded from arbitration and may be brought in court:

(a) claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court or equivalent consumer forum in your place of residence, brought on an individual basis;
(b) claims by either party for injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or unauthorised access to systems;
(c) claims that a party is prohibited by mandatory law from arbitrating; and
(d) complaints to, or proceedings before, a data protection supervisory authority or consumer protection authority, which are never restricted by this Section.

17.6 Consumers outside India — mandatory local rights preserved

If you are a consumer and the mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in, or to have your dispute governed by the law of, your home jurisdiction, nothing in Section 17 or Section 18 removes that right. In particular, and without limitation:

17.7 Right to opt out of arbitration

You may opt out of Section 17.2 and Section 17.3 by sending an email to support@umango.in with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms (or, for existing users, within 30 days of the effective date of the version of these Terms first containing this clause). The email must state your name and the email address associated with your account. Opting out affects nothing else in these Terms, and will not be held against you in any way.

18. Governing law and jurisdiction

18.1 These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

18.2 Subject to Section 17, the courts at New Delhi, India have exclusive jurisdiction.

18.3 Consumer carve-out. If you are a consumer, Sections 18.1 and 18.2 do not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are habitually resident, nor of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Where such law applies, it prevails over Section 18.1 to the extent of the inconsistency.

18.4 The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

19. Changes to these Terms

19.1 We may amend these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be available at https://umango.in/blog-manager/tos and within the App.

19.2 For changes that are material and adverse to you, we will give at least thirty (30) days' notice by in-App notice, by email to the address associated with your account, or by a prominent notice on the policy page, before they take effect.

19.3 Your continued use of the App after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, you must stop using the App and may cancel any subscription through your Store.

19.4 A change to Section 17 (arbitration) will not apply retroactively to a dispute of which the Provider had actual notice before the change took effect, and will carry a fresh 30-day opt-out right under Section 17.7.

20. Apple App Store — additional terms

This Section applies where you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, and prevails over any conflicting term. You acknowledge and agree that:

20.1 These Terms are between you and the Provider only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Provider, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.

20.2 The licence granted in Section 5 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

20.3 Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services in respect of the App.

20.4 In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of the Provider.

20.5 Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation, including in connection with the App's use of HealthKit or HomeKit frameworks (which the App does not use).

20.6 In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes intellectual property rights, the Provider, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.

20.7 You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

20.8 Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

20.9 The Provider's contact for questions, complaints and claims regarding the App is support@umango.in.

21. Google Play — additional terms

21.1 Where you obtained the App from Google Play, your use is additionally subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and refunds are governed by Google Play's refund policy.

21.2 Google is not a party to these Terms and has no responsibility or liability in respect of the App, save as expressly provided in Google Play's own terms.

22. General

22.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Intellectual Property, Trademark and Acceptable Use Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the App and supersede all prior understandings.

22.2 Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.

22.3 No waiver. A failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of it.

22.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which they relate, on notice to you; if you object, you may terminate under Section 13.2.

22.5 No agency. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between you and the Provider.

22.6 Third-party rights. Except as stated in Section 20.8 (Apple), no person other than you and the Provider has any right to enforce these Terms.

22.7 Force majeure. The Provider is not liable for any failure or delay caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemic, government action, failure of telecommunications or internet infrastructure, cyber-attack, or the act, omission, outage or discontinuation of any third-party service including Google, Apple or any cloud provider.

22.8 Notices. Notices to you may be given by in-App notice, by email to the address associated with your account, or by posting on the policy page. Notices to the Provider must be sent to support@umango.in.

22.9 Export. You must comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws.

22.10 Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is for convenience only; in the event of conflict, the English version prevails, except where mandatory local law requires otherwise.

22.11 Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

End of Terms of Service.
