You may be given access to our confidential information in connection with your use of our Platform. Where this happens, you shall hold our confidential information in confidence and, for so long as it remains confidential (other than as a result of your breach of these Terms) not make our confidential information available to any third party, or use our confidential information for any purpose other than the use of the Services. This section does not apply to disclosure of confidential information to the extent the disclosure is required by law, by any governmental or other regulatory authority or by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction.

Our rights & obligations. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Service to another organisation. We aim to inform you in writing if this happens.

Nobody else has any rights under these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service are between you and us, and no other person will have any rights to enforce any of the relevant terms.

Complaints. Should you have any complaints about our Platform and/or our services, please contact us providing clear details of the complaint (including, where relevant, an order reference). We will use reasonable efforts to respond to your complaint as soon as possible.

Even if we delay enforcing our rights under these Terms of Service, we can still enforce them later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms of Service, or if we delay taking steps against you in respect of your breaching these Terms of Service, 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.

If a court finds part of these Terms of Service illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the sections of these Terms of Service operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections will remain in full force and effect.

Synthesized may transfer its rights under these Terms of Service to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Service to another organisation – for example, this could include another member of Synthesized’ group of companies. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any such transfer does not affect your rights under these Terms of Service.

Personal agreement. The agreement formed under these Terms of Service is personal to you, and you cannot transfer any of your rights under them to any other person without our prior express written consent.

Email counts as ‘in writing’. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these Terms of Service, this includes emails. For contractual purposes, you: (i) consent to receiving communications from us by email; and (ii) agree that all communications that we provide to you by email satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in a hardcopy writing.
