the App will, when properly used and on an operating system for which it was designed, perform substantially in accordance with any descriptions we have provided; and
-
be free from material defects in quality or workmanship;
for the avoidance of doubt the warranty set out in this Condition 6.1 shall not extend to cover any materials not manufactured, designed, programmed or created by us. Where we are not the creator of any App we shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer to you the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the creator to us.
-
We do not warrant that the use of the App will be uninterrupted or error-free and nor do we warrant that there will be no viruses within the App.

either you or the Licensee have given written notice to us of the breach within 3 Working Days of becoming aware of it; and
-
we have had a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice of the defect and both you and the Licensee have complied with any request to enable any examination of the App and remedy such defect.
The warranty does not apply if:
-
you make any further use of such App after we have been given notice under Condition 6.3; or
-
the defect or fault in the App results from you having used the App in breach of the terms of this EULA; or
-
the defect or fault in the App results from you having failed to follow any instructions we have provided (whether oral or in writing) as to the proper use of the App or (if there are none) good trade practice; or

you or the Licensee have altered the App or otherwise interfered with them without our written consent.
-
Limitation of Liability
-
You acknowledge that the App has not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and that it is the responsibility of the Licensee to ensure that the facilities and functions of the App meet your requirements.
-
Where you make a valid claim in respect of the App, we shall, at our option, be entitled to:
-
correct the App (or the part of the App in question) found not to conform to warranty at our cost; or

re-perform the relevant part of any services we may provide found not to conform to warranty at our cost;
and subject to Condition 7.5 we shall have no further liability to you.
-
Notwithstanding Condition 7.5 below, you acknowledge that you are responsible for ensuring your surroundings are safe to work within and that you are aware of any external risks and hazards. We are not responsible for errors generated by incorrect information provided by you, your colleagues or the Licensee or any parties connected to or working with the Licensee, unreported accidents or inclement weather. Failure to pay full attention to the site instructions, equipment guidance and local health and safety requirements could result in death or personal injury or damage to your property. You assume total responsibility and risk for using the App.

in respect of all other direct loss (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) our total liability under the EULA shall not exceed, in aggregate, the proportion of the applicable price paid for the Licence for the term during which the relevant loss arises which represents the proportionate cost of a single User.
-
Nothing in this EULA seeks to limit our liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence in respect of which our liability shall be unlimited.
-
Subject to Condition 7.5, we shall have no liability under this EULA or otherwise if the Licensee has not paid any amount due under the Licence by the date on which it is due.
-
You and/or the Licensee cannot make separate claims under both the EULA and the Licence in respect of the same matter or set of circumstances.
-
This EULA sets out the full extent of our obligations and liabilities in respect of the supply of the App. Except as expressly stated in this EULA, there are no conditions, warranties, representations or other terms, express or implied, that are binding on us. Any condition, warranty, representation or other term concerning the supply of the Training Materials which might otherwise be implied into, or incorporated in, this EULA whether by statute, common law or otherwise, is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This EULA will terminate immediately upon expiry or termination of the Licence for any reason. In the event of termination in accordance with this Condition 8.1, we will not notify you individually of termination but will inform the Licensee that termination has taken place.
-
This EULA will terminate automatically if you cease to be employed or engaged by the Licensee in the territory specified within the Licence.
-
We may terminate this EULA immediately by written notice to you if you commit a material or persistent breach of this EULA which you fail to remedy (if remediable) within 30 days after the service of written notice requiring you to do so.
-
For the purposes of Condition 8.3, a breach shall be considered capable of remedy if you are able to comply with it in all respects other than as to the time of performance (provided that time of performance is not of the essence).

all rights granted to you under this EULA shall cease, in particular all licences to use the App and those licences granted in relation to our Intellectual Property Rights;
-
you must immediately cease all activities authorised by this EULA; and

Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under this EULA shall be in writing addressed to that other party at its registered office or principal place of business or such other address as may at the relevant time have been notified pursuant to this provision to the party giving the notice. Any notice:
-
sent by post shall be deemed served on the next Working Day following posting where the notice is sent and received within the United Kingdom, or 7 Working Days following posting where the notice is sent and/or received outside of the United Kingdom;
-
delivered personally shall be deemed served at the time of personal delivery, provided the same occurs on a Working Day; and
-

To prove service it shall be sufficient to show that the email was transmitted to the email address of the other party or that the envelope containing the notice was properly addressed and posted.
-
Force Majeure
-
We will not be liable or be deemed to be in breach of this EULA by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to the EULA, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control such as (but without limitation) any strike, lock-out or other form of industrial action, failure of a utility service or transport network, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or government order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or sub-contractors or inability to procure materials required for performance of the EULA.
-
We shall promptly notify you in writing when such circumstances cause a delay or failure in performance and when they cease to do so. If such circumstances continue for a continuous period of more than 30 days, we may terminate this EULA by written notice to you.
-
Other Important Terms
-
Where we have made reference to “Working Days” within this EULA they refer to the hours of 9:00 am – 5:00 pm GMT or BST as the case may be on days other than bank holidays or weekends in England.
-
We may transfer our rights and obligations under this EULA to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under this EULA. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under this EULA to another person if we agree in writing.
-
This EULA, and any document expressly referred to in it, constitutes the entire agreement between us and supersedes any previous agreements or understandings between us and may not be varied except in writing between us. All other terms and conditions express or implied by statute or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
-
If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this EULA, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
-
Each of the conditions of this EULA operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect.
-
This EULA, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter and its formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. We both irrevocably agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
