By accessing the App, this EULA will apply to you and you agree to the terms of this EULA. You should therefore read the terms carefully before using the App.
1.2 ) When certain words and phrases are used in this EULA, they have specific meanings (these are known as “defined terms“). You can identify these defined terms because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence). Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in the section of this EULA where it was defined (you can find these meanings by looking at the sentence where the defined term is included in brackets and speech marks).
1.3 ) This App requires a smartphone or other mobile device running either the iOS or Android operating systems (the device you use, the “Device“) and, to download the App and to access the latest features, you will need Internet access.
1.4 ) Please note, however, that certain services made available by us are governed by additional terms and conditions, including:
(1) any use of our website, which is governed by our website terms of use (available here);
(2) to download the App, you must also review and agree to the additional app terms set out in appendix 1 to this EULA and any other terms and conditions imposed by the app store from which you have downloaded the App; and

(1) we will notify you at least thirty (30) days in advance of such amendment; and
(2) if you are dissatisfied with such amendments, you may cease using the App.
7.2 ) Please check this EULA regularly to ensure that you understand the up-to-date terms that apply at the time that you access and use the App. If we update the terms of this EULA, the updated terms will apply to each of your uses of the App from that point on.

8.4 ) We shall cease to make the services available to you via the App promptly upon the termination or expiry of your employer’s subscription under the applicable Subscription Terms.
9. Other important information
9.1 ) Each of the clauses of this EULA operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
9.2 ) 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.
9.3 ) If you wish to have more information on online dispute resolution, please follow this link to the website of the European Commission: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. This link is provided as required by Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, for information purposes only. We are not obliged to participate in online dispute resolution.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
10.1 ) This EULA is governed by the laws of England and Wales. This means that your access to and use of the App, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection therewith (including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by the laws of England and Wales.
10.2 ) You may bring any dispute which may arise under this EULA to – at your discretion – either the competent court of England, or to the competent court of your country of habitual residence if this country of habitual residence is an EU Member State, which courts are – with the exclusion of any other court – competent to settle any of such a dispute. We shall bring any dispute which may arise under this EULA to the competent court of your country of habitual residence if this is in an EU Member State or otherwise the competent court of England.
10.3 ) As a consumer, if you are resident in the European Union and we direct this App to (or you otherwise pursue commercial or professional activities in) the member state in which you are resident, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident. Nothing in this EULA, including clause 10.1, affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.
