These Terms are between Simantea and you. These Terms are not between you and Apple.
Simantea's responsibilities and liabilities to you are explained in the other sections of these Terms.
Simantea, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the App.
Simantea, not Apple, is responsible for any product warranties in relation to the App.
If the App does not conform to a warranty given by Simantea, you may notify Apple, and if you have paid a purchase price for the App, Apple will refund you the purchase price. Apple has no other warranty obligation in respect of the App.
Any other claim that you might have in relation to the App is Simantea's sole responsibility (and not Apple's) and will be determined in accordance with the law and these Terms.
Simantea, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your use or possession of the App. This includes: product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App does not comply with any law; and (iii) consumer protection, privacy and similar claims.
If a third party claims that the App or your use or possession of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Simantea, not Apple, will be solely responsible for investigating, settling, defending and/or discharging the claim.
Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these Terms in accordance with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Apart from this, no other person has rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce these Terms. There is no requirement to obtain consent from Apple, any Apple subsidiary or any other person who is not a party to these Terms in order to rescind, vary, suspend, enforce or terminate these Terms, or to assign or transfer any rights or obligations, or to grant any waiver under these Terms.

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.
24. Third parties
Except where Paragraph 21 applies, this agreement does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this agreement.
25. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
26. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later
If we fail to insist that you meet your obligations under these Terms 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 it does 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. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.
27. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings
These Terms are governed by UK law.
28. Alternative dispute resolution
Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you reach the end of our internal complaints handling procedure without resolution, we will provide you with the name and website address of an independent body that is competent to deal with your complaint, should you wish to use alternative dispute resolution. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
