App terms & Apple app users
Streaming of our Services are subject to these Terms of Use and the terms of any third party app store through which your Services download is made. Downloads of the Services are made via permitted third party stores, such as Apple App Store. You acknowledge that you have agreed to the relevant store’s terms of use and service (i.e. Apple App Store or Google Play Store) relating to your transaction with such store. To the extent that these Terms of Use conflict with such agreement between you and the relevant third party in respect of any use of our Services, the terms of your agreement with the third party app store shall prevail.
If you access our Services via our mobile app on the Apple platform, the following terms specifically apply to you:
You acknowledge that these terms and conditions are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple, and we, not Apple, are solely responsible for our Services and the content thereof. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Services. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no warranty obligations whatsoever with respect to the Services.
Your licence to use the Services is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the Services on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the usage rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service, except that the Services may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing.
You acknowledge that we, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Services or your possession and/or use of the Services, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Services fail to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
You acknowledge that, in the event of any third party claim that the Services or your possession and use of Services infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

General
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us in respect of its subject matter.
Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms of Use and/or our rights, we can still enforce these Terms of Use and/or our rights later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms of Use, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking of any term of these Terms of Use, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to another organisation (such as, without limitation, in the event of a business restructure or acquisition). We will let you know if that happens and we will ensure that your rights under these Terms of Use are unaffected. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use unless we expressly agree to the transfer in writing.
Except where expressly stated to the contrary in these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use do not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these Terms of Use.
In the event that any provision of these Terms of Use (including, without limitation, any restriction) shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be interpreted in such a way as to ensure it is enforced to the maximum extent permissible in a manner reflecting the parties’ intentions and the remaining portions of these Terms of Use shall, in any event, remain in full force and effect.
Which country’s laws apply to any disputes?
Please note that these Terms of Use, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have
exclusive jurisdiction on any disputes arising from these Terms of Use. In addition you may have the legal right to bring proceedings in your local jurisdiction and, if this is the case, then you may bring proceedings there. For instance if you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the relevant Services in either the Scottish or the English courts.
