These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and Mélange Studios LLC, a California limited liability company (“Mélange,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), governing your access to and use of the Mélange mobile application (the “App”), the website at getmelange.app (the “Website”), and all related services, features, and content (collectively, the “Service”).

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MÉLANGE STUDIOS LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO MÉLANGE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mélange Studios LLC, its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with:
You may stop using the Service at any time. You may delete your account through the App (Settings → Delete Account) or by contacting us at support@melange-studio.com. Deleting your account will cancel any active subscription at the end of the current billing period and remove your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15) shall survive.
Upon termination, we may delete your account data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We are not obligated to retain or provide you with copies of your data after termination, although you may export your data before deleting your account.
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, you agree to first contact us at legal@melange-studio.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in the State of California, or, at your election, may be conducted by phone, video conference, or based on written submissions.
The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND MÉLANGE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.
You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to legal@melange-studio.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. To the extent that litigation is permitted under these Terms, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California.
We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.
