PENLAB TERMS OF USE

Welcome to Penlab!

These Terms govern your use and access of the Penlab Application and Penlab Website ( collectively “Penlab”), including the communications, features, content, and services of the platforms (“Penlab Service”), except where we expressly state that a different set of terms apply. 

Although we tried to make the Terms reader-friendly, there are still parts that may read like a traditional contract. We believe this is necessary and unavoidable since these Terms actually form a legally binding contract between you and Penlab. Please read these Terms carefully.

We amend these Terms from time to time, for instance when we update the features and functions of the Penlab Service. We will use reasonable efforts to inform you of any important changes to these Terms. For example, we can put a notice on the Penlab website / Penlab App or send you an email. 

In case there will be changes in the Terms of Use, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Terms. Please note that this is also the date when the updated Terms become effective (“Effective Date”). You should also look at the Terms regularly to check if there are changes in the Terms of Use.

Your continued use of the Penlab Service after the Effective Date means that you accepted the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Penlab Service.

Access to Penlab Content

There are two types of content that are available on Penlab: Unlocked Content and Locked Content Unlocked Content refers to content that is available to all registered users of Penlab. This may include the first few pages of a Locked Content.

Locked Content refers to content that may be unlocked or accessed only by a Penlab user after complying with certain requirements. Some Locked Content may be accessed only by those who have an existing subscription, while other Locked Content may be accessed by using coins that can be purchased on Penlab (“Coins”). Please refer to the description of the Locked Content to determine how it can be accessed.

Penlab Coins and Diamonds 

Penlab has a plan to offer Coins to its users. Once available, you may purchase Coins by visiting My Profile Page and clicking the My Wallet tab. You may purchase Coins by using any of the available payment methods.

By purchasing Coins, you agree that the amount of the Coins do not refer to any credit balance of real currency, e-money, or its equivalent. You also understand that your purchase of the Coins grants you a limited license to use Penlab, including software programs according to the terms and conditions that we may provide from time to time.

 Please note the following about the use of Coins:

   a.) Coins should be purchased lawfully and with real currency.

   b.) Coins cannot be exchanged or be used for any other purpose other than to access content offered by Penlab. Penlab reserves the right to change the purchase price for the Coins at any time and the number of Coins required for accessing any of the Locked Content.

   c.) All Coin Sales are final and will not be refunded for any reason unless required by applicable laws. Your purchase of Coins is completed upon confirmation of electronic payment via iTunes App Store, Google Play or other channels.

   d.) You are not allowed to transfer Coins outside of the Penlab Services, nor sublicense, trade, sell or attempt to sell the Coins for real money or exchange the coins for value outside of Penlab Services.

   f.) The Coins that you purchased will not expire.

   g.) You cannot transfer Coins directly to another Penlab user.

You may use Coins to provide tips to your favorite Penlab comic book artist (“Creator”). Coins that are gifted to Creators will result in the receipt of diamonds in the Creator’s account. If the diamonds stored in the Creator’s account (“Diamonds”) is equal to or greater than fifty thousand (50,000), the Creator is entitled to receive a certain amount in real currency. Such amount shall represent the Creator’s revenue share from the sale of the Coins purchased and thereafter given to the Creator (the “Rev Share”). The value of any real currency received from any Rev Share shall be determined by the rate at the time of the payout of such Rev Share, which we may set and change from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion. The exchange rate may also change due to the fluctuating price of the Coins, which are subject to change between the time when they were purchased and the time of the payout of the Creator’s Rev Share.

If you are a Creator, we may deduct Diamonds from your wallet if we have a reasonable ground to believe that you have obtained the Diamonds fraudulently, that the sender of the Coins (that turned into Diamonds in your Wallet) has used Coins that were obtained fraudulently or that there was a mistake in crediting the Diamonds to your wallet. In case any of these instances happened, we will inform you of our decision. If you have concerns, you may reach us at support@penlab.ph. . The deduction of the Diamonds is without prejudice to our other rights and remedies that are provided by these Terms and applicable laws.

Should your access to Penlab be suspended, limited, or terminated due to your violation of these Terms and other guidelines which will be adopted in the future and duly published on the Service, we have the right at our sole discretion to exhaust and invalidate any and all Diamonds in your account, in addition to other remedies available to us under law or contract.

The price of the Coins, the value (i.e. the exchange rate for Diamonds), and the Rev Share described are determined by us in our absolute and sole discretion, based on your country of origin. We reserve the right to modify these rates from time to time without prior notice.

If you disagree with any part of, or do not fully understand how Coins are purchased or used, please refrain from purchasing or using the Coins.
