Goat Tea will offer Users a weekly subscription known as Super Spill for an enhanced user experience. This can be purchased by tapping See Who Likes You on your Inbox. If you sign up for a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew until you cancel, and you will automatically be charged the associated fee (plus any applicable taxes) until you cancel. To see your next renewal date and current fee, visit your mobile device’s account settings, or the Subscriptions tab that is available through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
You must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of your current billing period to avoid being charged for the next billing period. After cancellation, you will have access to your subscription through the last day of your current billing period, at which point your subscription (and access to your subscription features) will be discontinued.
You may cancel your subscription any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store. To access the subscription features after discontinuing your paid subscription, you may need to purchase a new subscription, subject to then-current fees, terms, and conditions.
Payments for your subscription are processed via Apple or Google (“App Provider”) and you will need to provide your App Provider with your payment information. You are responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date payment information. If a payment is unsuccessful, we may suspend your access to the relevant subscription features until you provide a valid payment method. Goat Tea is not responsible if your subscription fails to renew due to invalid payment information.
Refund requests are handled by your App Provider, not Goat Tea. To request a refund, you should follow your App Provider’s refund procedures. Goat Tea does not offer refunds for your subscription. If you cancel, we will not issue you a refund or credit for any partial-period access to your subscription. You are not entitled to a refund or credit for any part of a billing period if the Subscription Features are unavailable, defective, experiencing delays, or for any other reason.
Lorem
We reserve the right to change or discontinue your subscription plans, subscription features, terms, or pricing at any time. Goat Tea is not responsible for any damage or loss caused by failures or delays of your subscription or the subscription features.
Goat Tea will send you SMS or short message service messages, also commonly known as text messages, for two factor authentication. Please note that message and data rates may apply.

Goat Tea reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify, suspend, limit the use of, discontinue or permanently cancel all or any portion of the SMS Services.

Email: help@goattea.co
NOTE: This contact information is for inquiries regarding potential copyright and other intellectual-property infringement only.
It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any purportedly infringing material. We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers.
We may suspend or terminate your license to access and use Goat Tea at any time and for any reason. Normally we provide notice and the reason for the termination or suspension. However, our termination or suspension may be immediate and without notice if in our sole judgement you committed a serious violation of these Terms or our policies.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Goat Tea, its parent company PT Alpha Jaya Inovasi, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, from any and all legal actions, demands, claims, losses, expenses or damages arising out of or in any way related to your access or use of Goat Tea or our Service (or any other person accessing or using Goat Tea through your account), your User Content, any breach of these Terms or violation of our policies.
In such circumstances, you agree we are entitled to payment from you for any judgment, our reasonable legal fees and all costs we incur to defend ourselves. Our right to indemnification survives any cancellation, termination or suspension of your Goat Tea account.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOAT TEA, ITS PARENT COMPANY FIND YOUR CRUSH, AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OF INABILITY TO USE OUR SERVICE OR ITS CONTENT; ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONTENT OR CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT; ANY CLAIM ATTRIBUTABLE TO ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR OTHER INACCURACIES IN THE SERVICE OR THE CONTENT); HOWSOEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF GOAT TEA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ANY LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS IS LIMITED TO $100.00 OR SUCH THE SMALLEST AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHICHEVER IS LESSER.
IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICE.
If we cause damage to you and you&aposre a consumer in the EEA, the above doesn’t apply. Instead, Goat Tea&aposs liability will be limited to foreseeable damages arising due to a breach of material contractual obligations typical for this type of contract. Goat Tea isn’t liable for damages that result from a non-material breach of any other applicable duty of care. This limitation of liability won’t apply to any statutory liability that cannot be limited, to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct, or if and to exclude our responsibility for something we have specifically promised to you in writing.
This limitation of liability provision survives any cancellation, termination or suspension of your Goat Tea account and termination of these Terms.
If a dispute arises with Goat Tea, please contact us. We will work to address it with you quickly and informally.
Should an informal resolution of the dispute prove impossible, you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access or use of Goat Tea or these Terms, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this provision, shall be determined by final, binding and non-appealable arbitration.
Arbitration is a less expensive, and often quicker, means for parties to resolve their dispute than filing a lawsuit in a court of law. An independent and neutral arbitrator decides the case, not a judge or jury. The arbitration award is final and not subject to review by a court. Arbitrators, however, can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to help@goattea.co within 30 days of October 13, 2024, or within 30 days of when you first register your Goat Tea account, whichever is later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Goat Tea also will not be bound by them.
We are continually working to improve Goat Tea. As a result, our Terms may be modified or we may publish new Terms at any time. Any modified and/or new Terms will become effective immediately upon posting. You agree that we may provide you notice of new or modified terms by posting them on the Goat Tea website and/or within the settings of the Goat Tea app. By continuing to access and use Goat Tea, you agree to be bound by the new or modified terms.
Some of Gas&aposs services include software subject to separate open source license terms, and your use of those services are subject to your compliance with those license terms, when applicable. We encourage you to review them, as some licenses may explicitly override these Terms.
By using our app, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its Terms and Conditions.
