(3) If there are any changes in the information registered, the User shall notify the Company without delay of such changes, in the manner designated by the Company.

3. Use of the Services, Etc.

(1) In preparation for using the Services, the User is required to satisfy the system requirements, and must prepare a compatible device and compatible software which can effectively connect to the Internet. These factors and the usage environment of the Services by the User may substantially influence whether or not the User will be able to use the Services without any problems. The Company shall in no way be responsible for preparing for the User’s use of the Services or for preparing the User’s usage environment; rather, it is the User himself/herself who shall be responsible therefor.

(2) The User may duplicate only three types of materials when using the Services: material free from copyright; material whose copyright is possessed by the User himself/herself; and material which is legally permitted to be duplicated. If it is not clear whether the relevant material falls under duplicatable materials, please contact the Company.

(3) Use of Digital Contents

As long as the Company has the right to provide specified digital contents, after the User has paid the fees for the relevant digital contents, the User may download and use the same, within the relevant restrictions. In addition, the User may duplicate the relevant digital contents on a device, and use such copy on the User’s device.

In the event that the Company loses the right to provide certain digital contents, the Company may discontinue the provision of the relevant digital contents to the User and request the User to discontinue using the same.

The Company may restrict the number of devices and software to be used by the User for accessing the digital contents. The User agrees that the Company may establish such restriction, at its own discretion and at any time. The User also agrees that the Company will record and retain the identification number of the device unique to the User, in order for the Company to establish such restriction.

4. Management of User Information

(2) Change in Prices of Digital Contents The Company is authorized to change the prices and uses of the digital contents at its discretion, and may change the prices of the digital contents at any time.

(3) Use of the Gift Payment Service

Certain of the Audio Assets displayed in the App will indicate when the independent Creator can be paid a small monetary Gift. Using the payment method already available through your mobile device, you may initiate a Gift Payment Transaction to the designated Creator by (i) checking which amount you would like to pay ($0.99, $1.99, $4.99, or $9.99) and (ii) authorizing the Company to make the payment from your mobile device’s selected payment method. PLEASE NOTE: We do not charge a fee for the Gift Payment Service, but your mobile device payment method often deducts a fee before the payment is made. So for example, if the mobile device"s applicable fee is 0.15%, a Gift of $5, would result in a payment to the Creator of $4.25, and a payment to your mobile device payment operator of 75 cents. You should check with your mobile app device operator for information on the amount of fees that are deducted.

(4) Himalaya"s Matching Gift Program To support Creators, Himalaya has a unique Matching Gift Program. The Company will match each User"s Gift, dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $5 per User per month, and up to a limit of $100 per Creator per month. So, if you check off 3 Gift Payment Transactions of $2 each for 3 different Creators, the first 2 Creators will receive an additional $2 from the Company (less any fee charged by the mobile payment operator) and the third Creator will receive an additional $1 (because the maximum Gift Match for the month has been reached) - - unless any Creator has already received $100 in matching funds that month. [Please note that a User who is also a Creator is prohibited from paying himself or herself a Gift.]

(5) Gift Payment Transaction Limitations:

All Gift Payment Transactions are subject to the following Transaction Limitations:

·No more than [$25] in Gift Payment Transactions from the same User to the same Creator in one day.

·No more than [$500] in Gift Payment Transactions from the same User to the same Creator in a month.

The Company reserves the right to change the amount of Transaction Limitations; changes will be posted on our website and on the Application.

(6) Suspicious or fraudulent Gift Payment and Matching Gift Payment transactions

In order to prevent money laundering or other unlawful activities, the Company reserves the right to review Gift Payment Transactions and Matching Gift Payment Transactions before being redeemed by Creators. The Company has the right to refuse to complete any Gift Payment Transactions and Matching Gift Payment Transactions if the Company reasonably determines that suspicious, fraudulent or illegal activity is involved.
