However, if you are a resident of another country, you may also bring proceedings in that country if your local consumer law gives you the right to do so.

‍General
‍We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or obligations under these Terms.

Your rights under these Terms cannot be assigned to any other person unless we agree to such transfer in writing. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of these Terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, 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.

These Terms set out the whole agreement between you and us in relation to your use of the Earzz app and purchase of the Earzz device.
