Locvia is currently free to use in full. This Policy describes the terms that will apply if and when Locvia introduces paid premium plans, subscriptions, or other paid features in the future. No payment is currently required to use any feature of the Service. This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms & Conditions and will take effect for a given user only once that user purchases or activates a Paid Feature.
Paid Features may include, without limitation, premium listing visibility or boosts, verified profile badges, business accounts, additional listing quotas, advertising placements, or other enhancements to the free Service. Core marketplace functionality — posting listings, browsing nearby listings, and in-app chat — is intended to remain free, though this may evolve as Locvia grows; any change affecting free access to core functionality will be communicated in advance.
Where Paid Features are offered through the Google Play Store, purchases will be processed by Google Play Billing and are subject to Google Play's own terms and payment policies, in addition to this Policy. Locvia does not directly store your payment card details; such information is handled by Google Play or another payment processor we may engage in the future.
Where a Paid Feature is offered on a recurring subscription basis, it will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle at the then-current price, unless you cancel before the renewal date through the Google Play Store subscription management settings, or through in-app subscription controls once available. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any price increase to an active subscription, consistent with Google Play policy and applicable consumer protection law.
You may cancel a recurring subscription at any time through the Google Play Store or, once available, through in-app account settings. Cancellation will stop future renewal charges but, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, will not entitle you to a refund for the current billing period already paid.
Refund eligibility for Paid Features purchased through Google Play is primarily governed by Google Play's refund policy. Where Locvia directly processes a payment (outside Google Play Billing), refunds may be granted at our discretion in cases of duplicate charges, unauthorized transactions, or a verified failure of the Paid Feature to function as described, provided a refund request is made within 7 days of the charge. Refunds are not available where a Paid Feature has been substantially used or where cancellation is requested solely due to a change of mind, except where required by applicable consumer protection law.
If Locvia offers a free trial or promotional pricing for any Paid Feature, the terms of that offer (including its duration and what happens upon expiry) will be clearly disclosed at the time of the offer. Unless cancelled before the trial ends, a free trial may automatically convert to a paid subscription at the standard price.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Paid Feature at our discretion. Where a Paid Feature you have already purchased is discontinued during an active subscription period, we will provide a pro-rated refund or equivalent alternative benefit, at our discretion, for the unused portion of that period.
If Locvia introduces an in-app wallet, escrow service, or facilitated payment feature for transactions between buyers and sellers, such features will be governed by a separate, dedicated policy published before launch, addressing fund holding, dispute resolution, applicable Reserve Bank of India regulations (including, where applicable, Payment and Settlement Systems Act requirements), and consumer protection safeguards. No such feature is currently active.
Prices for Paid Features may be subject to applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) or other taxes, which will be reflected in the price shown at checkout through Google Play or our payment processor.
This Policy is subject to our Terms & Conditions and, where applicable, Google Play's Developer Distribution Agreement and Payments Policy. In the event of a conflict specifically regarding payment processing through Google Play, Google Play's policies shall govern.
We will publish an updated version of this Policy, with reasonable advance notice, before any Paid Feature is introduced or materially changed.
