Hiya may cancel an order even if it has been confirmed and the purchaser's credit or debit card or PayPal account has been charged. Hiya reserves this right up until the time of delivery of the file to that purchaser. If a cancellation of this nature occurs after the purchaser has been charged for the product, we will immediately credit the customer's credit or debit card or PayPal account for the amount in question.

General
You agree that: (i) the Hiya Website shall be deemed solely based in India; and (ii) the Hiya Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Hiya, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than India. These Terms of Use shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of India, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.

These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Notice, any applicable contest rules, and any other legal notices published by Hiya on the Hiya Website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Hiya concerning your use of the Hiya Website. If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of this these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Hiya's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Hiya reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use for any changes. Your use of the Hiya Website following any amendment of these Terms of Use will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.

OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

If a court with authority over this Agreement finds any part of it not enforceable, you and us agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and us agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Agreement. To the extent allowed by law, the English version of this Agreement is binding and other translations are for convenience only. This Agreement (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.

If we don't act to enforce a breach of this Agreement, that does not mean that Hiya has waived its right to enforce this Agreement. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that Hiya may assign this Agreement to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

We reserve the right to change the terms of this Agreement and will provide you notice if we do and we agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you don't agree to these changes, you must stop using the Services.
