Terms of Use
This mobile application (the “App”) is made available by Progress Concepts Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with number 10099891 (“Progress Concepts Limited”, “us”, “we” or “our”).
You, the user of the App, confirm your acceptance of these App terms of use (“App Terms”). If you do not agree to these App Terms, you must immediately uninstall the App and discontinue its use.
These App Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
General Terms
App and Related Terms
These App Terms incorporate Apple’s terms and conditions and privacy policies (“Platform Terms”). If there is any conflict between these App Terms and the Platform Terms then these App Terms will prevail.
Use of the App
AuroraWatch UK app is only available to individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older but under the age of 18, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand and agree to the following terms.
Progress Concepts Limited hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use and only on an Apple device (“Device”) as permitted by the Platform Terms and in accordance with these App Terms (“User Licence”). All other rights in the App are reserved by Progress Concepts Limited.
In the event of your breach of these App Terms we will be entitled to terminate the User Licence immediately.
Progress Concepts Limited is committed to ensuring that the App is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.
The AuroraWatch UK app stores and processes data that you have provided to us, in order to provide our Service. It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the AuroraWatch UK app won’t work properly or at all.
You should be aware that there are certain things that Progress Concepts Limited will not take responsibility for. Certain functions of the app will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider, but Progress Concepts Limited cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.
You acknowledge that your agreement with your mobile network provider (“Mobile Provider”) will apply to your use of the App. You acknowledge that you may be charged by the Mobile Provider for data services while using certain features of the App or any such third party charges as may arise and you accept responsibility for such charges. If you are not the bill payer for the Device being used to access the App, you will be assumed to have received permission from the bill payer for using the App.
Along the same lines, Progress Concepts Limited cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the app i.e. You need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the Service, Progress Concepts Limited cannot accept responsibility.
At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on iOS – the requirements for iOS (and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the app to) may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app.
Progress Concepts Limited does not promise that it will always update the app so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the iOS version that you have installed on your device. However, you promise to always accept updates to the application when offered to you, We may also wish to stop providing the app, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the app, and (if needed) delete it from your device.
You acknowledge that where you use services provided by Apple (or any other third parties) in connection with your use of the App, you will be subject to Apple’s (or the applicable third party’s) terms and conditions and privacy policy and you should ensure that you have read such terms.
