We do not review, approve, endorse, control or make any promises with respect to Third Party Links & Ads, including the accuracy, validity, timeliness, completeness, reliability, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety of Third Party Links & Ads, or any intellectual property rights therein. Certain Third Party Links & Ads may, among other things, be inaccurate, misleading or deceptive. Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Cycling Sports Group with respect to any Third Party Links & Ads. We have no obligation to monitor Third Party Links & Ads, and we may block or disable access to any Third Party Links & Ads (in whole or part) through the App at any time. In addition, the availability of any Third Party Links & Ads through the App does not imply our endorsement of, or our affiliation with, any provider of such Third Party Links & Ads.

You use all Third Party Links & Ads at your own risk, and should apply a suitable level of caution and discretion in doing so. When you click on any of the Third Party Links & Ads, the applicable third party’s terms and policies (including terms of use and privacy policies) apply to these Terms.
11. Disclaimer
11.1 The App is provided "as is" and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we, and our directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, third party providers and affiliates, exclude all representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the functions contained in the App will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected or that the App or its content are free of viruses or other harmful components. You acknowledge that your access to the App may by interrupted for scheduled or emergency maintenance purposes, to fix bugs, or for security reasons. Access to the App may also be interrupted for reasons outside of Cycling Sports Group's reasonable control.
11.2 You acknowledge that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. Cycling Sports Group cannot guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of any documents or information sent or received via the App once they are outside of Cycling Sports Group's firewalls. This means that any document, message or information you send using the App may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission is encrypted.
11.3 We attempt to ensure that information provided on or in connection with the App is complete, accurate and current. Despite our efforts, such information may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Accordingly, we make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or maintenance of such information, including all descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products and prices through, or of, the App. Such information is also subject to change at any time without notice. The inclusion of any products or services in the App at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time.
11.4 You acknowledge that the App has not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the App as described on the applicable app store and as described in these Terms meet your requirements.
11.5 If you: (i) live outside of the United States of America; and (ii) have paid for the App; and (iii) are acting as a consumer, Cycling Sports Group is obliged to ensure that it is fit for purpose, as described, and of satisfactory quality.
11.6 Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you (if you live outside the United States of America):
-
We are responsible to you only for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.
If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaching these Terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time these Terms are entered into, both we and you knew it might happen. Other than under section 11.6(b) below, our liability to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us is limited to the greater of: (i) the total amount paid by you to us in the preceding 12 months (if any) to access or use the App; or (ii) ten pounds sterling (£10).
-
When are we liable for damage caused by a defect in the App?
If the App damages a device, data or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you appropriate compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice, including to apply an update within 30 days after Cycling Sports Group made the update available to you, patch or error correction offered to you free of charge, if you have not backed-up your device at least once in the 60 days before the damage occurred, or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
-
We are not liable for business losses
We only supply the App for your personal sports use. If you use the App for any commercial or business purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
-
What we do not exclude
Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
- death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
- any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
11.7 Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you (if you live in the United States of America):
Section 11.6 does not apply to you. Instead, the following applies:
- IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APPLICATION, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, IN WHICH CASE SUCH EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION APPLIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW.
11.8 Without limitation to the preceding paragraphs, you may contact us using the contact details at the top of these Terms if you have support queries. We will make reasonable efforts to deal with your queries.
12. Your Liability
12.1 You agree to compensate us and our licensors, service providers, suppliers, assignees, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives for any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) reasonably incurred by us that arise out of your use of the App in breach of these Terms. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claim brought by a third party in connection with your use of the App and you agree to assist and cooperate with us in relation to any such claim.
13. Availability
13.1 We reserve the right, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, to modify, suspend or discontinue the App without notice for valid commercial reasons without liability to you. Without limitation to the preceding sentence, we may periodically schedule system downtime for maintenance and other purposes.
13.2 You also acknowledge that unplanned system outages may occur
- The App is provided over the Internet and so the quality and availability of the App may be affected by factors outside our reasonable control. Accordingly, we cannot accept any responsibility for any connectivity issues that you may experience when using the App or for any loss of material, data, transactions or other information caused by system outages, whether planned or unplanned.
- In addition, you acknowledge and agree that you (and not us) are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telecommunications, broadband and computer hardware, equipment and services needed to access and use the App, and for paying any data charges that may be charged to you by your network provider in connection with your use of the App.
14. Terminating these Terms
14.1 We may terminate these Terms (including the rights and licenses granted to you) immediately by written notice to you for any reason, including if you commit a material or persistent breach of these Terms. These terms will automatically terminate if you delete the App from your device.
14.2 Upon such termination for any reason:
- all rights granted to you under these Terms shall cease except for section 11 (Disclaimer) and section 12 (Your liability) which shall continue in force even after any termination.
- you must cease all activities authorized by these Terms;
- we may cease providing you with access to the App; and
- you will not be compensated for any time you have spent using the App.

16. Other important terms

These Terms are between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
-
If a court finds part of these Terms unlawful or unenforceable, the rest will continue in force
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.
-
Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce them later
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
- These Terms and our Privacy Notice are the entire agreement between you and Cycling Sports Group relating to the subject matter in these Terms and our Privacy Notice. They supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between us with respect to such subject matter.
- Any translation of these Terms from English is provided as a convenience only. If this Agreement is translated into a language other than English and there is a conflict of terms between the English version and the other language version, the English version will apply.
-
Which laws apply to these Terms and where you may bring legal proceedings
Unless you live in the United States of America, these Terms are governed by English law and we both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. This means that, if you are resident in another country in the EU, you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with these Terms in England or in the EU country in which you live.
If you live in the United States of America, to the fullest extent permissible by law, the Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, United States of America (the “State”) without giving effect to (a) its conflict of laws provisions, or (b) the United Nations Convention for Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which is explicitly excluded. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the State for any and all disputes, claims and actions arising from or in connection with the App.
