There are features of the MYSanggha Service that may be accessible via certain mobile carriers (the "Mobile Services").

In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you agree to promptly update your account information on the MYSanggha Service to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person that acquires your old number.

Third Party Applications and Connect Sites

The "MYSanggha Platform" is a set of APIs and services that third parties may use to (a) create applications for use on the MYSanggha Service ("Applications") and (b) enable their websites to work like Applications ("Connect Sites") through MYSanggha Connect ("Connect"). Applications and Connect Sites will be referred to together as "Applications/Connect Sites," which should be read as Applications and/or Connect Sites.
If you authorize an Application or allow a Connect Site to connect with your account on the MYSanggha Service, you agree that such Application/Connect Site can (a) access information on the MYSanggha Service related to you (including your profile information, friends and privacy settings) and (b) generate and publish news feed and other stories about actions you take on such Application/Connect Site without any additional permission. If you want to change the information that Applications/Connect Sites can access, you may modify your privacy settings. If you no longer want these news feed or other stories to be published, you can disable this feature by changing your application settings. If you, your friends or members of your network use any Application/Connect Site, such Applications/Connect Sites may access and share certain information about you with others in accordance with your privacy settings.
Once you allow a Connect Site to connect with your account on the MYSanggha Service, you will be able to use your login information for the MYSanggha Service to log into and interact with your friends on that Connect Site. In order to make Connect possible, you agree to allow us to check your cookies for the MYSanggha Service when you are visiting Connect Sites. When your friends connect their account on the MYSanggha Service with a Connect Site, Connect will enable them to find friends on the MYSanggha Service that may also be users of that Connect Site and invite them to use Connect as well. If you do not want your friends to be able to invite you to connect on a Connect Site, you may change your privacy settings to disable this feature. Even if you have not gone through the Connect process, you may be able to authorize a Connect Site to generate and publish news feed and other stories about an action or all actions that you take on that Connect Site. If you want to change your settings for that Connect Site, visit your application settings.

Your Privacy Practices

We respect the privacy rights of third parties, and you must do so as well on the MYSanggha Service.
If you collect, access or use information relating to any user of the MYSanggha Service (including information contained in any user profile) you must obtain consent from the user and make it clear to the user that the collection, access and use is being carried out by you and not MYSanggha.

Gift Credits

You must be authorized to use the credit card, debit card or other payment source ("Card") you provide to purchase gift credits. By purchasing gift credits, you authorize MYSanggha or its designated payment processor to charge the purchase amount (plus any applicable tax) to your Card.

When you purchase gift credits, you are purchasing only a limited license to use certain features on the MYSanggha Service that will enhance your experience on the MYSanggha Service, such as giving virtual gifts to your friends. Gift credits have no real value, are non-refundable and are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from MYSanggha at any time. MYSanggha does not guarantee the transferability of gift credits. Gift credits may not be transferred to any third party outside of the MYSanggha Service and may not be used as a means to transfer money to a third party. You agree that MYSanggha has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate gift credits as it sees fit, and MYSanggha will have no liability to you for exercising such rights.
