Legal
Terms of Use
These terms are in two parts. Part A applies to your use of this website. Part B is the end-user licence agreement (EULA) for mobile applications published by THINKPOD STUDIOS LIMITED. "We", "us" and "Thinkpod Studios" mean THINKPOD STUDIOS LIMITED, registered in Northern Ireland, Company No. NI737566, registered office 31 Vale Road, Greysteel, Londonderry, Northern Ireland, BT47 3BL.
Part A — Website terms
1. Acceptance
By using https://thinkpodstudios.co.uk you accept these website terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. We may update these terms; the version published here, with its effective date, is the version that applies.
2. Permitted use of the website
You may view, download for caching purposes, and print pages from this website for your own use, including evaluating our services. You may not republish material from this site, sell or commercially exploit its content, or reproduce our branding, without our prior written consent.
3. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, we own or licence the intellectual property rights in this website and its content — text, design, graphics, code and the Thinkpod Studios marks. All rights are reserved beyond the limited permission in section 2. Nothing on this site grants any licence to use our name or marks.
4. Acceptable use
You must not use this website in any way that causes, or may cause, damage to the site or impairment of its availability; in any way which is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful; to probe, scan or test vulnerabilities without our written permission; or to transmit malicious code. We may restrict access to the site to protect it.
5. Third-party links
The site may link to third-party websites (for example, the ICO, or app store listings). Those sites are outside our control; a link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for third-party content or practices.
6. Disclaimers
This website is provided free of charge for general information about our services. While we work to keep it accurate and available, it is provided "as is": we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its content is complete or current. Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice, and no statement on it forms part of a contract unless expressly incorporated into a signed agreement.
7. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of Northern Ireland.
Subject to that paragraph: because the website is provided free of charge, we are not liable for any loss or damage of any nature arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website; and we are not liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss, or for loss of business, revenue, profits, anticipated savings, contracts, data or goodwill arising from use of the website. If you are a consumer, nothing in this section affects your statutory rights.
8. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found by a court or competent authority to be unlawful or unenforceable, that provision is deemed removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.
Part B — Mobile application terms (EULA)
9. Licence grant
These app terms apply when you download or use a mobile application published by THINKPOD STUDIOS LIMITED on the Apple App Store or Google Play. Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to install and use the app, for your own personal use, on devices you own or control, as permitted by the applicable store's usage rules. The app is licensed, not sold; we retain all rights in the app not expressly granted.
10. Your content
Content you create in an app remains yours. We claim no ownership of it. Where an app offers sync or backup, you grant us the limited licence needed to store, transmit and display that content back to you and to devices and people you choose to share it with — solely to operate the feature, and ending when you delete the content or your account (subject to the backup purge cycle in our Privacy Policy).
11. Subscriptions and billing
Where an app offers paid features or subscriptions, they are purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play — we do not take your payment details directly. For subscriptions:
- subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled;
- you can cancel at any time in the store's subscription settings (App Store: Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions; Google Play: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions), at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid being charged for the next one;
- prices are shown in the store before purchase; if we change a price, the store will notify you and, where required, seek your consent before it applies;
- refunds for store purchases are handled under the applicable store's refund policies, in addition to (not instead of) your statutory rights described in section 12.
12. Consumer rights and the 14-day cooling-off period
If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, you have statutory rights that these terms do not reduce — including, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the right for digital content to be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, and remedies (repair, replacement or price reduction) if it is not.
For paid digital content you also normally have a 14-day cooling-off period from purchase during which you may cancel for a full refund. However, where you ask for digital content to be supplied immediately and acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel once the download or streaming begins — which is how the App Store and Google Play deliver purchases — the cooling-off right ends when supply begins. This is the standard immediate-supply waiver under UK consumer regulations; the stores present it at purchase.
13. Acceptable use of the apps
You must not: copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or create derivative works of an app except as permitted by law; rent, lease, sell, sublicense or redistribute an app; use an app to store or share unlawful content or to infringe others' rights; circumvent security or licensing mechanisms; or use an app in a way that could damage our services or other users. Rights under mandatory law (for example, interoperability rights) are not affected.
14. Termination
You may stop using an app and delete it at any time; account deletion is described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these terms and (where the breach can be remedied) fail to remedy it within a reasonable period after notice. On termination the licence ends and you must delete the app; sections which by their nature should survive (including sections 10, 12 and 15–16) survive. If we permanently discontinue a paid app or subscription service, we will give reasonable notice and, where required by law or store policy, a pro-rata refund of any prepaid period.
15. App store terms and Apple as third-party beneficiary
Your use of an app is also subject to the applicable store's terms (Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, including its Licensed Application End User License Agreement; Google Play's Terms of Service). In case of conflict between those store terms and this Part B for a given purchase, the store terms prevail to the extent of the conflict.
For apps obtained from the Apple App Store, as required by Apple's standard EULA terms: these terms are concluded between you and THINKPOD STUDIOS LIMITED only, not with Apple; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app; in the event of a failure of the app to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, and to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation; Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and consumer protection claims; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Part B and may enforce it against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a relevant government embargo and are not on any relevant restricted-parties list.
16. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and the courts of Northern Ireland have jurisdiction over disputes arising from them — except that if you are a consumer, you retain the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.
