Ozone Builds Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Hidaku LLC is dba Ozone Builds. Both names are used interchangeably within the policy. It is Hidaku LLC's policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including via our app, Hidaku Studio Apps, and its associated services.

Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use an app or online service.

In the event our app contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our app.

This policy is effective as of 4 January 2023.

This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.

Please be aware that while this information may not be personally identifying by itself, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify individual persons.

If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.

Invoicing Policies

As of January 1, 2024 the following policy is as follows for all new invoices:

  1. Ozone, henceforth referred to as 'The Company', is committed to providing its customers with unparalleled value and competitive pricing. To this end, The Company is proud to introduce its Price Matching Assurance Policy ('The Policy'). Under this policy, The Company assures all customers that the prices of its products and services will be continuously monitored and adjusted to remain aligned with prevailing market standards and competitive benchmarks. This commitment extends to matching the retail price of identical products or services offered by direct competitors under specific conditions outlined herein.
  2. The Policy applies to all products and services offered by The Company, subject to certain terms and conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the comparability of the product or service, including its features, quality, and warranty; the credibility and legitimacy of the competitor's offering; and the geographical and temporal relevance of the price comparison.
  3. Customers desiring to benefit from this Policy are required to provide verifiable evidence of the competitor’s lower price, which The Company reserves the right to independently verify. Price matching requests must be made within a specified timeframe from the date of purchase or as otherwise defined by The Company.
  4. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue The Policy at any time without prior notice, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This Price Matching Assurance does not supersede any other legal rights or remedies available to the customer under consumer protection laws.
  5. By availing themselves of The Policy, customers agree to these terms and conditions. This Policy is intended to ensure that The Company's customers receive the best possible value, affirming The Company's commitment to customer satisfaction and market competitiveness.
  6. Additionally, a 5% late fee will be applied to overdue invoices related to app building services
    and monthly retainers under our partnership agreements for every week overdue
    on the 7th day from the previous deadline. For example, if an invoice is created on a Monday at 4pm PST, it would incur a 5% addition to the initial cost beginning the next Monday at 4pm PST. On the following Monday, it would incur a 10% addition to the initial cost, and so on. By the 5th consecutive week of no payment, it will automatically be billed to the end user with a 25% incurred addition to the initial cost.

Summative Clause

This Agreement explicitly recognizes and affirms that Hidaku Studio, henceforth referred to as 'The Company', holds the sole and unequivocal authority, discretion, and final decision-making power regarding any and all actions, decisions, policies, and practices that may have a direct or indirect impact on the provision, management, operation, and administration of its services. Furthermore, it is clearly understood and agreed upon by the user, henceforth referred to as 'The User', that by the act of engaging with, utilizing, or otherwise accessing these services in any manner, The User unequivocally accepts, consents to, and agrees to be unconditionally bound by all such decisions, actions, and outcomes as determined, enacted, and deemed appropriate by The Company.
