We are not liable or responsible for any consequences of your having read or been told about such advice or other materials as you assume full responsibility for your decisions and actions. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability for any purpose of the advice, other materials and information published as part of the Services.
11. Our Responsibility For Loss or Damage
11.1 The Services are not bespoke to you. You acknowledge that the Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Services meet your requirements.
11.2 We are responsible to you only for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time these Terms are entered into and both we and you knew it might happen.
11.3 We are not liable for business losses. As noted above, we only make the Services available for your domestic and private use. If you use the Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
11.4 No liability for User Content. We do not control User Content and you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content, whether provided by you or by others. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content.
11.5 No liability for User interactions. Your interactions with other Users are solely between you and such Users. We simply host the Services and do not control your interactions with other Users. You agree that Paradym will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions.
11.6 No liability for damage caused by unauthorised access. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as a result of unauthorised access to your Account which is not within our reasonable control, including where you fail to comply with Section 5.5.
11.7 What we do not exclude. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
12. Term and Termination
12.1 Duration of Terms. Subject to this Section 12 and Section 13, these Terms will remain in full force and effect while you access and use the Services.
12.2 When we might suspend or terminate your Account or Services access. We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Services (including your Account) at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Services in violation of these Terms.
12.3 What happens when these Terms terminate? Upon termination of your rights under these Terms, your Account and right to access and use the Services will terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of your Account may involve deletion of your User Content associated with your Account from our live databases – for this reason, we recommend you pay particular attention to Section 8.3 (Backing up User Content).
12.4 What terms will continue after these Terms have been terminated? Even after your rights under these Terms are terminated, the following provisions of these Terms will remain in effect: Sections 6.2 to 6.6, Sections 8 to 11, and Section 142
13. Your Rights To Cancel
13.1 You can cancel a subscription at any time. Since your subscription includes a digital element, by placing your Order you hereby acknowledge and agree that we may start your subscription immediately once we send you confirmation of your purchase by email according to Section 7.7. You may cancel a subscription you purchased at any time but any cancellation will be effective at the end of the applicable monthly period and you acknowledge and agree that you will lose your right to a refund in respect of that monthly period.
13.2 How to cancel. Please make any such cancellation through the Apple iTunes Store or our Application on an iPhone, you may cancel your subscription by cancelling automatic renewal of paid in-app subscriptions by selecting Manage App Subscriptions in your iTunes Account settings and selecting the subscription you want to modify. If you purchase a subscription through the Google Play store you may cancel automatic renewals in account settings under Subscriptions in the Google Play app, or according to the current process outlined by Google Play.
14. Other Important Terms
14.1 Headings and Interpretation. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”.
14.2 Corporate and other consumer communities. While Paradym is aimed at consumers like you, there is increasing interest by large consumer communities (corporations, universities, hospitals, etc.) (“Communities”) to introduce the Services to their employees and members. In some cases, these Communities may supplement these Terms with their own terms and conditions. In such event, these Community terms and conditions shall also apply to
your use of the Services. In the event of any conflict with such additional terms and these Terms, these Terms shall prevail.
14.3 We may transfer these Terms to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation – for example, this could include another member of our group of companies or someone who buys our business. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these Terms.
14.4 Nobody else has any rights under these Terms. These Terms are between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
14.5 If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the Sections of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining Sections will remain in full force and effect.
14.6 Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
14.7 The laws that apply to these Terms and where you may bring legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by English law and we both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. This means that if you reside in the EU, you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with these Terms in England or in the EU country in which you live.
14.8 Copyright/Trademark Information. Copyright © 2022 Paradym Ltd. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos and service marks (“Marks”) displayed on the Services are our property or the property of other third parties. You are not permitted to use these Marks without our prior written consent or the consent of such third party which may own the Marks.
