APP PLATFORM TERMS. When You download the IoTA from a third-party app store (the “Application Platform”), You acknowledge and agree that:

These Terms are an agreement between us and not with the Application Platform. As between Licensor and the Application Platform, Licensor is solely responsible for IoTA.
The Application Platform has no obligation to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the IoTA.
In the event of any failure of the IoTA to conform to any applicable warranty, (i) You may notify the Application Platform and the Application Platform may refund the purchase price for the IoTA to You (if applicable), (ii) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Application Platform will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the applications, and (iii) any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty is, as between Licensor and the Application Platform, Licensor’s responsibility.
The Application Platform is not responsible for addressing any claims You have relating to the IoTA or Your possession and use of the IoTA.
If a third party claims that an application infringes another party’s intellectual property rights, as between the Application Platform and Licensor, Licensor is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by this Agreement.
The Application Platform and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement as it relates to Your license to the IoTA. Upon Your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Application Platform will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement as related to Your license of the applications against You as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the applications.

If this Agreement conflicts with the Application Platform Terms, then the Application Platform Terms shall apply with respect to access and use of the IoTA or any other mobile application operated by Licensor.
