To confirm your understanding and acceptance of this Agreement, click “Accept.”## INTRODUCTION TO OUR SERVICESThis Agreement governs your use of Locus Mariologicus services (“Services”), through which you may purchase, obtain, license, rent or subscribe to content, and other in-app services (collectively, “Content”). Content may be offered through the Services by Locus Mariologicus or third parties. By creating an account to use the Services in Brazil, you specify such country as your residence for tax purposes (“Residence Country”). Our Services are available for your use in your Residence Country, as well as any other state where you may temporarily be present. To use our Services, you need compatible hardware, software (recommended to be up-to-date and sometimes required), and internet access (fees may apply); performance of our Services may be affected by these factors.## USING OUR SERVICES### PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUNDS…## Mariology Services Terms and ConditionsYou can acquire Content through our Services either free of charge or for a fee. Either way, such acquisition is referred to as a “Transaction.” Each Transaction grants you a license to use only the specific Content acquired. Each Transaction constitutes an electronic contract between you and *Locus Mariologicus* or, alternatively, between you and the entity providing the Content through our Services. *Locus Mariologicus* will charge for any paid Transactions, including all applicable taxes, using your selected payment method (credit card, debit card, vouchers/promotional codes, or other methods available in your country of residence). If we are unable to process a charge through your chosen method (e.g., due to expiration or insufficient funds), you remain responsible for any unpaid amounts and we will attempt to charge again using your selected payment method once you update your payment information. If you pre-order Content, we will charge you upon delivery of the Content (unless you cancel before delivery). In accordance with local law, *Locus Mariologicus* may update your selected payment information if provided by your financial institution. You agree to receive all invoices in an electronic format, which may include email.Content prices are subject to change at any time. If technical issues prevent or unreasonably delay Content delivery, your sole and exclusive remedy is either replacement of the Content or a refund of the price paid, as determined by *Locus Mariologicus*. *Locus Mariologicus* may deny a refund request if we find evidence of fraud, abuse, or other manipulative behavior that entitles *Locus Mariologicus* to corresponding legal action.## Cancellation RightYou have the right to cancel your order without giving any reason within 14 days of receiving your receipt.To cancel your order, you must inform us of your decision.
