Your Responsibilities

The Application stores and processes personal data you provide in order to deliver the Service. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your phone and access to the Application.

The Service Provider strongly advises against jailbreaking or rooting your phone. Such actions could expose your device to malware, compromise security features, and may result in the Application not functioning correctly or at all.

Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of connectivity or exhausted data allowances.

If you use the Application outside of a Wi-Fi area, your mobile provider's terms still apply. You may incur data charges, including roaming charges if you use the Application outside your home territory. By using the Application, you accept responsibility for any such charges.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Application is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The Service Provider does not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the Application is at your sole risk.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Application.

In no event shall the Service Provider's total liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the Application exceed the amount you paid to the Service Provider in the twelve months preceding the claim, or £0 if no amounts have been paid.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Service Provider from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Application, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.

Your rights under applicable data protection law regarding your personal data are not affected by termination.
