1. Acceptance and Parties
1.1. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the relationship between the Company identified below and you, the subscriber ("you" or "User"). They apply to your use of websites, mobile applications, and other services offered under the Lina brand (the "Service"), including all text, graphics, video, music, software, and other content provided by the Company (the "Content").
1.2. Merchant information. For Services offered through the web channel, the contracting party and Merchant of Record is Alvanko Ltd, 4 Raven Road, Unit 1c3, London, Greater London, E18 1HB, United Kingdom, info@linastudio.co. "Company," "we," and "our" mean Alvanko Ltd. "Lina" identifies the brand and application through which the Service is offered and is not a separate legal entity.

Ouro Yazılım Reklam Teknolojileri Araştırma Geliştirme ve Pazarlama Ticaret Anonim Şirketi ("Ouro") develops Lina's software infrastructure, provides technical operation, and produces in-app content as an independent service provider and content licensor. Ouro maintains a relationship with the Company for technical services and content licensing; it does not sell to, contract with, invoice, or collect payment from end users. Ouro acts only as a local technical representative and content provider and is not the Merchant of Record.
1.4. Governing law and jurisdiction. These Terms and all non-contractual obligations arising in connection with them are generally governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England have jurisdiction over disputes arising from or connected with these Terms. This does not limit mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence.

6. Payments, Subscriptions, and Refunds
6.1. Commercial roles. Lina's application and content are developed by Ouro and technically maintained by Ouro. Ouro does not invoice or collect payment from end users. All payment collection, billing, and subscription management are handled by the Merchant of Record applicable to the channel through which the user accesses the Service.
6.2. Merchant of Record.
- (a) Apple App Store: Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland. Payment, billing, and refunds are subject to Apple's terms. Use your Apple ID account settings to cancel.
- (b) Google Play Store: Google Commerce Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Payment, billing, and refunds are subject to Google's terms. Use your Google Play account settings to cancel.
- (c) Web channel: Alvanko Ltd, identified in Section 1.2, is the Merchant of Record and contracting party. Web payments may be processed through authorized third-party payment providers, including Stripe, acting on behalf of Alvanko Ltd. Alvanko Ltd remains the seller and remains responsible to consumers. Use the Support Center cancellation page or the subscription-management area of your Account to cancel.
6.3. This structure results from the technical and contractual operation of the relevant platforms. Ouro has no direct sales or contractual relationship with end users through these channels.
6.4. Subscription term and billing. The Service is offered as an indefinite subscription relationship. Your subscription is billed periodically in advance according to your plan. You may terminate it at any time without providing a reason or paying a penalty.
6.5. Pre-contractual information. Before a web purchase, we clearly provide the subscription's main features, total price including all taxes, payment and termination terms, automatic-renewal information, and withdrawal-right information as required by applicable law. Confirming the purchase means you acknowledge that you read and understood this information.
6.6. Automatic renewal. Unless cancelled before the end of the billing period, an indefinite subscription automatically renews for the next billing period at the advertised price. For web subscriptions, we send a renewal reminder a reasonable time before renewal: at least 7 days before renewal, and 15–45 days before annual or longer periods.
6.7. Cancellation. You may cancel at any time without giving a reason or paying a penalty. Cancellation must be available through a method no more difficult than the method used to subscribe, including the Support Center one-click cancellation page, Account settings, or written notice to support@linaai.co. We process cancellation requests within seven (7) days after receiving them and confirm the cancellation by email or in-app notification. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
6.8. Effects of cancellation. If cancelled, the subscription ends at the end of the current billing period and you retain access during that period. Because you may continue using the Service until the end of the billing period, no separate refund is provided for unused time. An unexpired promotional or trial subscription may end immediately upon cancellation. This does not limit your rights under Section 6.12 for defective performance.
6.9. Price changes. We may change subscription fees. For web subscriptions, price increases are notified by email at least thirty (30) days before taking effect. If you do not accept an increase, you may cancel without charge and the new price will not apply to you. App-store price changes follow the platform's own notice and consent process.
6.10. Trials. We may offer limited trials that automatically convert to paid subscriptions. Before a trial starts, we clearly disclose its length and the terms of the following paid period. Unless you cancel during the trial, the paid subscription begins automatically at the end of the trial.
6.11. Withdrawal rights. To the extent permitted by applicable law, withdrawal rights may not apply to intangible digital content performed immediately with your consent. By confirming the purchase and expressly requesting immediate performance, you acknowledge that you waive withdrawal rights for the digital content and services. This does not limit statutory rights for defective performance.
6.12. Consumer rights for defective performance. If the Service cannot be provided in accordance with its contractual characteristics for reasons attributable to the Company, you have the statutory consumer rights available under applicable law, including: (i) terminating the contract and requesting a refund; (ii) requesting a price reduction; (iii) requesting free correction of the defect; or (iv) where possible, requesting a defect-free equivalent service. These rights cannot be restricted by these Terms.
6.13. Failed payments and default. If an automatic-renewal payment cannot be collected, access to the Service is suspended for fifteen (15) days from the first failed collection attempt. During this period, we will retry collection and you may update your payment method to reactivate your subscription. If payment cannot be collected within one (1) month from the first failed attempt, the subscription is cancelled without penalty or additional fee. You will not be charged for services that were not actually provided.
6.14. Refund policy.
- (a) Purchases processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are subject to the relevant store's refund policy. The Company cannot issue direct refunds for payments processed through those channels; refund requests must be submitted to the relevant store's support.
- (b) Website purchases are subject to the published refund policy, without prejudice to withdrawal rights, defective-performance rights, or mandatory consumer law in your country of residence.
6.15. Complaints and dispute resolution. Send complaints about the Service to support@linaai.co or through in-app support channels. If the Company cannot resolve your complaint, you retain the right to use the legal remedies available under the law of your country of residence.
