Payments are processed by our merchant of record (Creem and/or Paddle). When you make a purchase, your payment is subject to the payment processor’s own terms in addition to these Terms.

We may release updates from time to time. Updates may add, modify, or remove features. We do not guarantee continued availability of any specific feature.
