Your use of the T-Bud mobile application ("App") is subject to additional third-party terms and conditions that govern the application marketplace from which you downloaded the App, such as Google Play Store or the Apple App Store ("Stores"). The operators of these stores ("Store Operators") are not responsible for providing maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

You and the Company agree and acknowledge as follows:

• These Terms are concluded between yourself and us, and not the Store Operators. The Store Operators are not responsible for the App. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Stores’ terms of service, the Stores’ terms of service shall prevail solely with respect to the conflicting provisions.
• The license granted to you in the App is a limited, non-transferable license to use the App on any Store Operators branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Store Operators’ terms of service.
• You acknowledge that the Store Operators have no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
• To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Store Operators will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
• The Store Operators are not responsible for addressing product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection, or similar claims related to the App.
• In the event of any third-party IP claim regarding the App, the Store Operators will not be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of such claim.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App (for example, your wireless data services agreement).
• The Store Operators and their subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you.
• You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Miscellaneous

Unless otherwise mandated by non-waivable consumer protection law, these Terms are governed solely by the laws of the State of Israel (without conflict-of-law provisions), and the Tel Aviv District Court has sole and exclusive jurisdiction over claims in connection with the Platform or these Terms. If your national law provides more advantageous rules or local forum rights, those rules prevail.

Relationship. These Terms do not create agency, partnership, employment, trustee, or other legal relationship beyond independent contractual parties.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights and obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any attempted or actual assignment by you, without our prior consent, shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under law, we may assign to a third party these Terms in their entirety, including all rights, duties, liabilities, and obligations therein, upon notice to you and without obtaining your further specific consent, upon a merger, acquisition, change of control or the sale of all or substantially all of our equity or assets. By virtue of such assignment, the assignee assumes our stead, including all rights, duties, liabilities and obligations, and we are irrevocably released from the same.

Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement concerning the subject matter and supersede prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations, agreements and statements.

No waiver. The failure of a party to demand performance of any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver by that party of any of its rights under the Terms.

Severability. If any provision is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible to reflect original intent, and remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
