We are not responsible for websites we link to

Where our Platforms contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them.

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to our Platforms or any content on them.

If defective digital content (such as a game) that we have supplied, damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

We may transfer our rights under these terms to someone else

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract. 

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. 

We may not agree if we are unhappy with the proposed transferee or for another reason (although we will act reasonably in making this decision). 

We may make changes to these terms

We may amend these terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use our Platforms, please check these terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.

If we make any material changes to the terms, we will notify you the first time you use one of our Platforms following the change. 

Which country’s laws apply to any disputes?

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.

If you are a consumer, the above provision does not limit or exclude your statutory rights, to the extent such rights provide certain protections or rights to you, which may include the right to enforce these terms in your local court.   

These terms are written in the English language

These terms of use are drafted in the English language. To the extent these terms are translated to another language the English language version of these terms of use shall prevail if there is a conflict.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. 

These terms are between you and us. Nobody else can enforce them and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing them.

If a court invalidates some of these terms, the rest of them will still apply.

If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing these terms, we can still enforce them later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it later.
