terms & condition

We may occasionally make changes to the App or these Terms. If we do, we’ll notify you either by updating the Effective Date of these Terms listed above and via the App. You must accept these changes in order to continue using the App. You should stop using the App if you disagree with any changes to the App or these Terms.

From time to time we may issue updates to the App via the App Store. Depending on the update, you may not be able to use the App until you have downloaded the latest version of the App and reviewed and accepted any new terms.

You may access the App by downloading and installing the App to your device from the App Store. Although we are working to ensure that the App is compatible across various devices, we cannot guarantee that the App will work with all devices. You should check the minimum requirements and specifications (including memory space and operating system) as set out in the App details on the applicable App Store before downloading the App. We will endeavour to support the two most recent versions of the operating systems available in the market – for example, if iOS 11 is the current version, we will aim to support iOS 10 and iOS 11). To download the App, you will need a valid App Store account (as applicable to your device).

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to comply with the relevant system requirements as described above. We accept no responsibility for any lack of functionality that is due to your equipment (including your device, internet connection, operating system or settings and software). Access to parts or all of the App and any or all content on the App may be restricted from time to time to allow for repairs, maintenance or updating.

It is your responsibility to pay for all costs and expenses (including all telephone call or line charges or Internet service data access) that you may incur using the App.

Your use of the App and enjoyment of its features and content hosted or made available through the App may vary in functionality, availability and quality depending on the type of device and operating system and any restrictions imposed by our content providers.

that any content you upload or post to the App (with the exception of private messages, which are confidential in nature) will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary and that such content may be viewable by any users of the App (whether registered or unregistered). You will own your content, but you hereby grant us, our licensee’s and any third parties and other users of the App (each as we determine) a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferrable, sub-licensable, worldwide licence to use, store and copy that content and to distribute it and make it available to third parties via any and all media, including, without limitation, the right for us to upload and make available and to authorise third parties to upload and make available such content on third party sites and services, including social media applications and channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram and on the Publisher’s own websites;

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any disputes in connection with these Terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any claims made in relation to these Terms. If the court in your country will not apply the laws of England and Wales, or if the courts in your country will not permit you to consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in England and Wales, then your local law and jurisdiction will apply to such disputes related to these Terms.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else.

If you breach these Terms and we take no action against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and we will still be entitled to enforce our rights and remedies against you in relation to that breach and to use our rights and remedies in any other situation where you breach these Terms.
If any part of these Terms is disallowed or found to be ineffective by any court or regulator, the remainder of the Terms will continue to govern each of our respective obligations.

Except as otherwise expressly stated, these Terms and our Privacy Policy contain the entire agreement between us, the Publisher and you relating to use of the App and supersede any previous agreements, arrangements, undertakings or proposals, written or oral, between us, the Publisher and you relating to use of the App.
