This Terms of Service document (the “Terms”) outlines the terms and conditions of use of the Proxy services (the “Services” or “Service”) provided by iGuge. (“Mzke”).

1. Acceptance
By accessing the Content or Services, you are agreeing on behalf of yourself or those you represent (“you”) to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms in their entirety. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Mzke. If you do not agree with any part of the Terms, you may not use our Services.
By creating an account for using our Services, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age or that you are a valid legal entity, and that the registration information you have provided is accurate and complete.

The current version of the Terms is available on the Site.

3. Privacy Policy
Mzke is committed to your privacy and does not collect or log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries from Subscribers connected to our VPN. During your registration, we may collect some sensitive personal information, such as your email address and payment information. We only collect information that are necessary for the proper delivery of the Site and Services.
For the sake of clarity and transparency, we have placed all information related to data collection in a separate document known as the Privacy Policy, which is available on the Site. Please review the Privacy Policy in its entirety to get a clear understanding of how we handle your sensitive data.
4. Subscriptions
Mzke Services are available to you upon registration on the Site. By subscribing to the Services, you agree to become a subscriber (“Subscriber”) for the period you have elected. A full list of subscription plans and pricing is available on the Site. Mzke reserves the right to amend subscription fees or institute new fees at any time upon reasonable advance notice posted on the Site or sent via email. Any changes to the pricing will not affect the Subscriber’s current subscription period and will become effective upon subscription renewal. Subscription purchases and refunds are handled via multiple third-party payment companies.
When supported by your payment method, plans renew automatically by default at the completion of the billing term. By default, the renewal term is for the same duration as the billing term for the original subscription. The subscription fee will be charged automatically to the payment method you last selected. If you would like to discontinue automatic renewal, you may sign in to the Site and turn off auto-renewal. By default, auto-renewal is turned on when you use a payment method that supports auto-renewal (such as a credit card or Paypal), and turned off when you use a payment method that does not support auto-renewal (such as Bitcoin).
Each paid subscription grants you one (1) license to use on five (5) different devices at any given time. If you want to use the Services on more than five devices at a time, then you can either (i) use Mzke on your router, (ii) purchase additional subscription plans, or (iii) purchase additional licenses through the “volume licensing” option. For more information on “volume licensing” program, please contact Support.
The User shall have the option to cancel their account and to get the full refund (Money Back Guarantee) within 7 days of the first payment made for subscribing our VPN services. Any claim for refund by the subscriber beyond the period of 7 days as mentioned above may be entertained, in the sole discretion of the Company, only if such subscriber can prove that the services were not available or usable during the subscription period, and every reasonable effort was made in that regard to the Company for resuming the Services.
The Company may refund on the pro-rata basis for service fees paid by the Subscriber during the period for which the services were not available or usable. The refunds are generally processed within a weeks time (7 Days) from the date when the purchase was made via the respective mode of payment. The refunds shall be made in HKD, and it may be possible that such refund amounts could differ from the amount what was paid originally in local currency or bitcoin. The Money Back Guarantee shall not be applicable in the cases when 5 or more accounts are purchased under any scheme or the volume-licensing program for the time being in force.
Any change to the original purchase, such as upgrading to an extended billing term or purchasing of additional licenses under the same account, shall constitute a waiver of the Money Back Guarantee option. To request a refund under the Money Back Guarantee, send an email with your request to the following email address: [email protected]
Users whose subscriptions are billed as an in-app purchase through the Apple App Store (iTunes) do not have access to the Mzke 3-day money-back guarantee. Instead, users can request refunds through the App Store, which are issued solely at the discretion of Apple Support.
