13. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a new “Last updated” date and will be effective when published at this URL. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Apple-specific terms
The following terms apply to the App as licensed via the Apple App Store and supplement, but do not replace, the rest of these Terms:
- These Terms are concluded between you and Outlane only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Outlane, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Outlane’s sole responsibility.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including (i) product-liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
- In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual-property rights, Outlane, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of the claim.
- You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of these Terms.
15. Miscellaneous
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Outlane concerning the App and Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
