5. USAGE OF HUMTHUM 5.1 Access/Restriction Once HumThum has been installed and your account created, you cannot access your account from any other mobile. Your mobile will be registered with us and it will be your only gateway to use your account. The benefit of this feature of HumThum is that your account will be secured from any type of mishap. Only in case when someone gets access to your mobile, he can access your account. Otherwise, thereâ€&#x;s no other way for anyone to hack your account. So, HumThum guarantees you a state-of-the-art account security.

(Note: You cannot access your HumThum account from any other mobile)

5.2 Mobile number change To create your HumThum account, you have to register with your mobile number and information regarding your mobile is automatically taken by the system to make your account hack-proof. Now, your HumThum account is activated for the combination of your mobile number and mobile. Any change in this combination will make your account inaccessible. Your account, in any way imaginable, cannot be accessed through other mobile nor can a request be sent for the same. But changing the SIM in your own mobile will also make your account inaccessible. In that case you will have to send a request to us to activate your account for new number. Here, you will have two options; you can use your account through both SIMs or you can de-activate your account with earlier SIM and activate it only for the new SIM. Rest assured, there is no such request application to access your account through other mobile.
