2. Your privacy

We only use any personal data we collect through your use of the Services in the ways described in our privacy policy, as this is set out in an annex to these Terms.

Please be aware that internet transmissions are not completely private or secure and that any message or information emanating from you while using the Services may be read or intercepted by others, even if is indicated that a particular transmission is encrypted.

3. App store’s terms also apply

The ways in which you can use the Services may also be controlled by the relevant app store’s (typically Apple App Store or Google Play Store) rules and policies, which will apply instead of these Terms if there are differences between the two.

You are solely responsible for the contents of any User-generated Content. You grant us a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable and licence to use, copy, modify, adapt, delete, publish, distribute, and otherwise make use of the User-generated Content in our sole discretion, without compensation or obligation to you.

Limitations to the Services. The Services are provided for general information and entertainment purposes only. They do not offer advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of information obtained from the Services. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the Services, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that such information is accurate, complete, or up to date.

Check that the Services are suitable for you. The Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the Services are suitable for you.

We are not responsible for events outside our control. If our provision of the Services or support for the Services is delayed or disrupted by an event outside our control, then we will not be liable for such delays or disruptions.

Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce them 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 violating 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.

23. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Icelandic law. You can initiate legal proceedings in respect of the Services before the Icelandic courts. We can initiate legal proceedings against you before the Icelandic courts or before the courts of any other competent jurisdiction, as we may elect.
