Whilst 23snaps takes all reasonable steps available to it to provide you with a good level of service, you acknowledge and agree that 23snaps does not warrant that the App shall be uninterrupted or fault-free at all times. 23snaps therefore shall not be liable in any way for any losses you may suffer as a result of delays or failures of the Services and App as a result of 23snaps’ service providers.

2.10. The App Provider and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App. Upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third party beneficiary. You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the App.
