Terms and Conditions 

You agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions: 

General 

  1. The price (if any) of an App is separate from and additional to the data download charges which you will incur when browsing or downloading Apps. Therefore, in addition to the price of the App (if any), you will also be liable for the data download charges (at the rate and on the terms and conditions applicable to your package) in respect of browsing and downloads (whether successful or not) from the App store. 

  2. You will not be entitled to any exchanges, returns and/or refunds in respect of the Apps unless the App does not work on your device. Under no circumstances will refunds be granted in respect of the download charges. 

  3. You can retrieve Apps that have failed to download from the My Downloads history section.

  4. Apps can be downloaded to any Vodacom approved compatible cellphone, but are handset specific. 

  5. You may only use the Apps for lawful purposes and you warrant that you shall not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to make sure a third party does not sell, resell, lease the Apps to any other party. 

  6. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided to you "as is", without support or maintenance and we disclaim liability for any damages that the App may cause to you or any other person (whether through malware or otherwise). Vodacom does not warrant that the App will meet your requirements or that the operation of the App will be uninterrupted or error free. To the extent permitted by law we disclaim and exclude all warranties, representations, conditions and other terms of any kind, express or implied and whether arising by statute, common law or otherwise. In any event, our maximum liability and sole remedy to you is a refund of the price of the App at the time of your purchase. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you indemnify and holds us harmless against all and any loss, liability, actions, suites, proceedings, costs, demands and damages of all and every kind, (including direct, indirect, special or consequential damages), and whether in an action based on contract, negligence or any other action, arising out of or in connection with the failure or delay in the performance of the Apps.
