Geographical Restrictions Policy

Last Updated: August 6, 2025

1. Introduction

This Geographical Restrictions Policy explains how Jovox ("we", "us", or "our") restricts access to our services based on geographical location. By accessing or using our website and services at jovox.online, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this policy.

2. Purpose of Geographical Restrictions

We implement geographical restrictions for the following reasons:

Compliance with local laws and regulations in various jurisdictions
Adherence to licensing requirements and legal obligations
Protection of intellectual property rights that may vary by region
Management of service availability based on operational capacity
Prevention of unauthorized access from sanctioned territories
Maintenance of data sovereignty and privacy requirements

3. Restricted Territories

Access to our services may be restricted or prohibited in certain countries, regions, or territories. These restrictions are subject to change based on evolving legal requirements, business decisions, and regulatory environments.

We reserve the right to restrict access from any geographical location without prior notice. Current restrictions may apply to territories where:

Local laws prohibit the provision of our services
We do not hold necessary licenses or permits to operate
Economic sanctions or trade restrictions are in place
Technical infrastructure does not support service delivery
Regulatory compliance cannot be adequately ensured

4. How We Determine Your Location

We use various technical methods to determine your geographical location, including but not limited to:

IP address analysis and geolocation databases
Device location services when explicitly authorized
Registration information provided during account creation
Payment method details and billing addresses
Network routing information and connection metadata

While we employ commercially reasonable efforts to accurately identify your location, geolocation technology is not infallible. You are responsible for ensuring your use of our services complies with applicable local laws.

5. User Responsibilities

When accessing our services, you represent and warrant that:

You are located in a jurisdiction where use of our services is lawful
You will not use any technology to mask or misrepresent your actual location
You will not use VPNs, proxies, or similar tools to circumvent geographical restrictions
You will provide accurate location information when requested
You understand that circumventing restrictions may result in immediate termination
You will comply with all applicable local laws and regulations

6. Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited:

Deliberately concealing or falsifying your geographical location
Using technical measures to bypass geographical access controls
Accessing services from restricted territories through intermediaries
Sharing access credentials with individuals in restricted locations
Creating accounts using false location information
Attempting to circumvent regional pricing or availability

7. Service Limitations by Region

Certain features, content, or functionalities may be available only in specific geographical regions due to:

Licensing agreements and content distribution rights
Local regulatory requirements and compliance obligations
Language support and localization capabilities
Payment processing availability and currency support
Technical infrastructure and network optimization

We do not guarantee uniform service availability across all regions where access is permitted.

8. Detection of Location Changes

We continuously monitor for changes in user location. If we detect that you have relocated to a restricted territory or are attempting to access services from such a location:

Your access may be immediately suspended or terminated
Certain features may be automatically disabled
We may request additional verification of your current location

You are located in or access services from a restricted territory

You provide false or misleading location information
You violate any provision of this policy
Legal or regulatory requirements necessitate termination

Termination for geographical restriction violations does not entitle you to refunds, credits, or compensation for unused services or remaining subscription periods.

10. Travel and Temporary Relocation

If you temporarily travel to or relocate to a different geographical region:

Service availability may be affected or restricted
You remain responsible for compliance with local laws in your current location
Certain features may become unavailable during your stay
We recommend reviewing local regulations before accessing our services
Access may be restored upon return to an authorized region

Temporary travel does not exempt you from geographical restrictions that apply to your destination.

11. Changes to Geographical Restrictions

Changes in applicable laws and regulations
New licensing agreements or termination of existing agreements
Business expansion or contraction decisions
Evolving compliance requirements
Technical or operational considerations

We will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users of significant changes, but we are not obligated to provide advance notice. Continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified restrictions.
