16. SEVERABILITY
This User Agreement operates to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law. If any provision (or part thereof) of the User Agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision (or part thereof) is deemed severable from the User Agreement and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions (or part thereof).
17. OTHER
Nothing in the User Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership or agency relationship between you and us and neither party shall have the right or authority to incur any liability debt or cost or enter into any contracts or other arrangements in the name of or on behalf of the other.
If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under the User Agreement, 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 will 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.
This User Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us and you with respect to the subject matter contained in this User Agreement and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, and communications, written or oral, related to that subject matter.
You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use the products or services of a third party that are available through the App. In the event of any conflict between such third-party terms and conditions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.
This User Agreement is personal to you and you may not assign it to anyone. If any provision of this User Agreement is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from this User Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This User Agreement is not intended to benefit any third party and does not create any third-party beneficiaries. Accordingly, this User Agreement may be invoked or enforced only by you or us. You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action that you may have arising out of or related to use of the App or this User Agreement must be filed by you within one year after the claim or cause of action arose or else be forever barred. Any and all provisions of this User Agreement that reasonably would be expected to be performed after the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive and be enforceable after such termination or expiration, including, without limitation, provisions relating to ownership, indemnification, limitation of liability and governing law.
18. IRISH LAW APPLIES
Ireland is the place of performance in respect of this App. Accordingly, this User Agreement, and any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, shall in all respects, be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive and procedural laws of the Republic of Ireland, without regard to any conflicts-of-laws principles.
This User Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it are or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland, and you agree that the courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any actions or proceedings that may arise out of or in connection with the User Agreement. However, this does not prevent us from instituting proceedings outside of Ireland.
