11. Do not rely on information on the App and Service

The App allows users who share a group or are friends to post debts and payments as they please. These are calculated into a determination of debts, or relative financial positions with respect to a group’s expenses, by Kroo.

You agree that you understand these debts are not legally binding, and represent informal information sharing. You agree that Kroo cannot guarantee the accuracy of information entered by users. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on our App.

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the App and the Service, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that such information is accurate, complete or up to date.

13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

We are responsible to you 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 breaking 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 you accepted these Terms, both we and you knew it might happen.

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

We are not liable for business losses. The App is for domestic and private use. If you use the App for any commercial, business or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

We are also not responsible for failure to meet any of our obligations under the Terms where such failure is due to events beyond our reasonable control.

The use of the App and/or its contents is at your own risk. The contents of the App could include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to affect or limit your rights under the law. For more information about your rights contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Bureau.

We can terminate these Terms or stop providing any of the Service at any time and for any reason. We may also change, suspend, terminate or discontinue any aspect of the App or the Service including availability of certain features at any time and for any reason. Where possible, we will endeavour to give you notice before doing so.

You can terminate these Terms insofar as they are applicable to you for any reason by giving us immediate notice. In addition, either party may terminate these terms immediately if the other is breaching any of its responsibilities under these terms (including the Licence restrictions under section 9).

On any termination of these Terms, your right to use the App and the Service will cease and we may terminate your access to and use of the App and Service and invalidate all or any relevant access details.

19. Third party rights and dealings

A person who is not a party to these Terms will not have any rights to enforce its terms.

We may at any time transfer or deal in any other manner with all or any of our rights or obligations under these Terms but you may not do so without our prior written consent.
