10. INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

10.1 Please read our Privacy Notice to understand how we collect, use and share information about you.

 

11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Rights of Third Parties. Any contract made between you and us is only made between you and us. No third party will have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
11.2 Transfer of our Rights. We may transfer our rights and obligations under our contract with you to another organisation, and we will notify you if this happens. This will not affect your rights or our obligations under the contract.
11.3 Law and Jurisdiction. This EULA is governed by the law of the Netherlands and the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or related to the contract between you and us for the purchase of the Products or your use of the Software. This does not, however, affect any rights you may have under applicable law in the country where you are resident, including (where applicable) the right to have a dispute in relation to the Products or your use of the Software heard in the courts of that country.
11.4 Disputes. If you have a dispute with us relating to our contract with you, we would welcome the opportunity to try to make things right and resolve the dispute with you ourselves. In the first instance, please contact our complaints team using the details in the "Contacting Us" paragraph above so that we can attempt to resolve the dispute informally through our internal complaints handling process. If you are in the European Economic Area, you may (but are not obliged to) seek resolution of any dispute with us through consumer mediation services. You can do this through the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, available at this link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board except in the circumstances outlined under this paragraph 4. In the unlikely event that we are not able to resolve the dispute informally, we will discuss with you the most effective way of resolving the dispute through a formal dispute resolution process. This paragraph does not affect your statutory rights.
