In other words, we may not review content for its legality, tastefulness or its compliance with these T&Cs. Use of any third party software or services is subject to the terms of those third parties, and you agree to comply with any such third party terms and conditions when using the Game.

A reporting mechanism may be made available for these purposes in the Game or relevant website, and you can also let us know by contacting us at: chockHossReporting

7.1 Nothing in these T&Cs will limit any of your rights which may not be excluded under law. This means that, notwithstanding any other terms in these T&Cs:
7.1.1 our liability to you for personal injury or death caused by our negligence is not excluded or limited, nor is our liability to you for any fraudulent representation we make;
7.1.2 if a paid-for Game is faulty when we deliver it to you, we will try to repair or replace it;
7.1.3 if we can't fix that fault within a reasonable time, or without significant inconvenience, you're entitled to all or some of your money back that you paid to use the Game (where applicable); and
7.1.4 if, as a result of the fault, the Game damages your device and we haven't used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation.

7.4 The Game and our websites, along with any updates, upgrades and any additional content, are provided ‘as is’. That means we don't make any promises to you about the Game or websites other than that they will be of satisfactory quality, as described, and fit for purpose. We don't make any other promises about the Game or websites.
7.5 We'll use reasonable skill and care to provide the Game and websites, but can't guarantee there won't be any errors, bugs or interruptions to them, or that the Game will not cause any problems with your device.
7.6 If we release a version of the Game which is not yet complete, because we want to give you early access, then you'll need to bear in mind that it may have some errors, bugs or interruptions.
7.7 Please let us know straight away if you discover any problems with the Game, so we are aware and can decide whether it is something we need to address in a future release or update (if there is a future release or update). You can contact us to let us know about any problems with the Game using the following email address: threkkaFeedback.
7.8 If you choose to submit comments, ideas or feedback to us, you agree that we are free to use them for the purposes of operating, developing, improving and providing the Game without compensation to you.
8.1 Under data protection legislation, we are required to provide you with certain information about who we are, how we process your personal data and for what purposes and your rights in relation to your personal data and how to exercise them. This information is provided in our Privacy Notice and it is important that you read that information.
8.2 Please take care when disclosing any information about yourself on or through our websites or Game. A known risk of the public internet is people not necessarily being who they say they are, or behaving in an unreliable, misleading or illegal way. We cannot control information you choose to provide to other users, where our websites or Game include facilities for you to interact with others. We strongly recommend that you exercise caution, act sensibly and not disclose any information which you do not wish to have disseminated into the wider public internet. Any disclosures of your information by you to other users are made by you at your own risk. Once information is disclosed by you in this way, it may not be possible for us to prevent its dissemination over the public internet.
9.1 All intellectual property rights in the Game and our websites throughout the world belong to us and our licensors, and the rights in the Game and websites are granted to you by way of a limited license (and are not sold) to you. You have no intellectual property rights in, or to, the Game and websites other than the right to use the Game and websites in accordance with these T&Cs on the applicable Store and device. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these T&Cs, all rights are reserved by us and our licensors.
10.1 The following terms of this clause are the terms which we are required by Apple to notify you of and obtain your consent of in respect of using the iOS versions of the Game:
10.1.1 You, and Chock Hoss, acknowledge that these T&Cs are concluded between you and Chock Hoss only, and not with Apple Inc., nor any subsidiary or affiliate company of Apple Inc., (‘Apple’). You also acknowledge that we are solely responsible for the Game and the content therein.
10.1.2 Subject to your compliance with all conditions of these T&Cs we grant you a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use one copy of the relevant Game for your personal, non-commercial use for gameplay on the compatible iOS product which you own or control, and as permitted by the usage terms and conditions set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.
10.1.3 We are solely responsible for providing support and maintenance for the Game. You and Chock Hoss acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Game.
10.1.4 You acknowledge that Chock Hoss, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you may have relating to the Game or your possession and/or use of the Game, including but not limited to:
(a) product liability claims;
(b) any claim that the Game fails to confirm to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and
(c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
10.1.5 You acknowledge that in the event of a third party claim that the Game or your possession and use of the Game infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, then Chock Hoss shall be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property right infringement claim, and not Apple.
10.1.6 You confirm that:
(a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a US Government embargo, or that has been designated by the US Government as a ‘terrorist supporting’ country; and
(b) you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
10.1.7 You acknowledge and agree that Apple are third party beneficiaries of these T&Cs, and that when you accept the terms and conditions of these T&Cs, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these T&Cs against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
10.2 The ways in which you can use the Game may also be controlled by the relevant Store's terms and conditions and policies as made available to you by the Store. To the extent that there is a conflict between the terms of these T&Cs and the relevant Store's terms from which you purchased (where applicable) or installed the Game, the Store's terms shall prevail to the extent of the conflict.
11.1 Each Game requires a certain operating system version (or later) and a minimum amount of memory to play the Game. Please review the Game-specific minimum requirements where these are made available to you in the relevant Game description / store page information to ensure that the Game is compatible with your device.
12.1 We may temporarily discontinue the Game, websites and any and all services and content available through it at any time for the purposes of upgrades, maintenance or other service administration reasons. We will use our reasonable endeavours to limit the length of time this occurs for.
12.2 We may end your rights to use the Game and/or websites at any time in the event that you breach these T&Cs. If what you have done can be put right, we may, in our sole discretion, give you a reasonable opportunity to do so. Where you have paid for the Game, content or services in connection with the Game or website and your rights have been terminated in accordance with this clause because of your breach of these T&Cs, we will not refund you.
12.3 We may terminate our agreement with you (in whole or in part) for any reason at our discretion upon reasonable notice to you. This may happen, without limitation, because we choose to end the availability of the Game. As your use of the Game was provided to you free of charge, you will not be entitled to compensation in this event. If you paid for the Game, content or services in connection with the Game or website, you will not be entitled to a refund where you have substantially had the enjoyment of what you had paid for. Where you have not had a reasonable period of opportunity to enjoy the paid-for Game, we may offer you a partial or full refund.
12.4 Upon your deletion/uninstallation of the Game, any in-Game or website rankings or scores, including virtual items or currency balances (whether earned or purchased), or scores or information in connection with the Game services will not be retained or accessible. These may not be recoverable by us once they are deleted or made inaccessible.
13.1 These T&Cs do not affect any legal rights you may have under the law which cannot be excluded or limited.
13.2 We may change or update these T&Cs from time to time, but changes only affect you to the extent they can legally apply. For example, if we release an update with a new set of T&Cs, and you don't use the update, then the old set of T&Cs applies, but if you do use the updates or if you use parts of the Game that rely on our ongoing online services then the new T&Cs will apply. Please check back at our website from time to time in case of updates to the T&Cs.
13.3 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these T&Cs to another organisation. We will let you know if that happens and we will ensure that your rights under these T&Cs are unaffected. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these T&Cs unless we expressly agree to the transfer in writing.
13.4 Except where expressly stated to the contrary in these T&Cs, these T&Cs do not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these T&Cs.
13.5 Even if we delay in enforcing these T&Cs and/or our rights, we can still enforce these T&Cs and/or our rights later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these T&Cs, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking of any term of these T&Cs, 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.
13.6 These T&Cs are governed by English law and you can bring proceedings in respect of the Game or these T&Cs in the English courts. In addition you may have the legal right to bring proceedings in your local jurisdiction and if this is the case then you may bring proceedings there. For instance if you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the relevant Game in either the Scottish or the English courts.
14.1 Should you have any queries or complaints, please get in touch via email to: chockHossLegals.
14.2 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 are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to consider an alternative dispute resolution provider.
