In addition to our other rights, we may also stop providing our Services to you or add or create new limits to our Services. If we discontinue a Service, where reasonably possible, we will give you advance notice.
Intellectual Property Rights
Branding, trademarks, service marks, logos and content (other than content that belongs to you) used in our Services belong to Tapcore or other persons. These Terms do not grant to you the right to use them.

19. Tapcore’s obligations
Where applicable laws require, we will respond to legitimate requests by authorities or court orders to disclose your information.
Tapcore is not required to monitor our users’ content or communications and therefore we cannot guarantee that our Services are free of illegal material or other content that may be considered unacceptable. When it comes to our attention, we may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our Terms, and we may remove or refuse to display it. In serious instances of abuse we may also notify the police or relevant law enforcement agency.
20. What Tapcore is responsible and not responsible for
We provide our Services using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care and we hope that you will enjoy using them. But there are certain things that we do not promise about our Services. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that our Services will never be faulty.
We provide our Services “as is”. Other than as expressly set out in these Terms, neither Tapcore, our subsidiaries nor affiliates makes any specific promises about the Services. For example, we do not make any commitments about the content within our Services, the specific functions of our Services or their reliability, availability or ability to meet your needs.
We are a hosting and facilitating company only and we cannot guarantee or control which Advertisements are placed on a Publisher’s App. We make no representation or warranty that these Advertisements do not contain content that may be offensive, inappropriate or in breach of these Terms.
Some jurisdictions provide for certain warranties, like the implied warranty of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties.
When permitted by law, we have no responsibility to pay you compensation for financial loss, loss of profit, anticipated profits, goodwill or business opportunity, indirect or consequential loss, any information which is lost or corrupted, any damage to software, or any loss that could not have been reasonably expected. To the extent permitted by law, the total liability of Tapcore, our subsidiaries and affiliates for any claims under these Terms, including for any implied warranties, whether in contract or tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the amount that you paid us to use our Services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (ii) fraud; (iii) any breach of the terms implied by section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 or section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979; or (iv) any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
21. Breaking our Terms
If you violate the letter or spirit of these Terms, or otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of our Services to you with or without notice, and you may lose your content and any account. In all such cases, our agreement will come to an end.
Sometimes we may choose to ignore it if you break one of our terms, or we may choose not to enforce a particular term. But even if we do this, we can still choose to enforce that term or take action because you break that or any other term in the future.
22. Your responsibility for misusing our Services
You will keep harmless, defend and indemnify Tapcore against all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities arising from any claims by any third party, in connection with your use or misuse of our Services.
23. Unsolicited information
If you submit any ideas, suggestions, proposals, or documents to Tapcore (collectively, “Contributions” for short), you agree that: (i) your Contributions do not contain confidential or proprietary information; (ii) Tapcore is not under any obligation of confidentiality regarding these Contributions; (iii) Tapcore may have something similar to the Contributions already in development or under consideration; (iv) Tapcore may use or disclose (or not) such Contributions for any purpose in any way; (v) your Contributions automatically become the property of Tapcore without any obligation of Tapcore to you; and (vi) you are not entitled to any payment, compensation or reimbursement of any kind from Tapcore under any circumstances.
24. Sorting out complaints and contacting each other
If you have a problem or complaint about our Services or its users, or just want to give us feedback, you may contact us emailing [email protected].
When we need to contact you with service announcements, administrative messages and other important information, we will use the contact information you provided (e.g. email address) or post them on our Services. You may not opt out from receiving these communications (unless you delete your account and stop using our Services).
25. Changing our Terms
It is highly likely we will have to update our Terms in the future, for example due to ongoing improvement and other changes in our Services and changes to the laws that apply to us and you.
When we update our Terms, we will do our best to give you advance notice either by posting the change on our Services or contacting you directly. However, in some situations, such as where a change is needed to meet legal requirements, an update to our Terms may need to be effective immediately. You should look at these Terms regularly.
If you do not agree to any changes, you should discontinue your use of our Services. If you continue to use our Services after any update is announced, you will be considered to have agreed to these changes. Except for changes made by us as described here, no other changes to our Terms will be effective unless we both agree in writing.
26. What else do I need to know?
These Terms make up the entire agreement between us relating to our Services, and overrides any prior agreements. These Terms, our relationship and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with these Terms.
You accept that this agreement for our Services is personal to you / your organisation and agree not to transfer it to anyone else, or to try to do so. However, we may take instructions from a person whom we think, with good reason, is acting with your permission. We can transfer this agreement for our Services to another company provided this does not adversely affect your rights under our Terms.
Sometimes we may not be able to do what we have agreed because of something beyond our reasonable control, which may include: lightning, flood, severe weather, fire, explosion, terrorist activities, anything done by government or other competent authority, or industrial disputes. There may be other reasons too. In these cases, we do not accept responsibility for not providing you with the Services.
After these Terms come to an end, the provisions of these Terms, which by their nature extend beyond the termination, will survive termination of these Terms or termination of your use or access to all or any portion of our site.
No third party is entitled to enforce any term under this agreement under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect.
