12 Platforms and publishers

12.1 Our Services may be provided through a third-party platform, including (without limitation) iOS and Android. These third-party platforms will impose additional terms and conditions governing the use of their services. Those terms and conditions will form a separate agreement between you and the relevant platform and are in addition to these Terms. Even if you have purchased our Services separately from a third party, you must accept these Terms before you may use our Services. We encourage you to read the terms and conditions imposed by third parties carefully before you agree to them.

We may assign or otherwise transfer our rights and may sub-contract our obligations under this Agreement to anyone else.

14.3 Each of the terms and conditions of these Terms operates separately. If any court or other competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Nothing in these Terms will create any relationship of partnership, agency or employment between us.

14.5 If we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that does not mean that we have waived our rights against you, and it does not mean that you are relieved of your obligations under these Terms. If we do waive a breach by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later breach by you.

14.6 These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. You and we both agree that the courts of England will have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any dispute connected with these Terms or our Services.
