We do this in order to map where you have found litter to enable us to track particular litter hotspots and map where you have collected water quality test results. You can change your choices at any time in the app settings, and you can also turn the location services off at any time. The app will still function if location services are off, but its functionality may be reduced.

Subject to clause 9.2, you have no intellectual property rights in, or to, the app other than the right to use it in accordance with these terms.
9.2 In order to enable us to provide our app and organise events and programmes, you hereby grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide licence to use, copy, adapt, publicly display and create derivative works of any statistical pollution data and images that you upload to the app.
9.3 For Apple users only, if any third party claims that the app or your possession and use of the app infringes their intellectual property rights, we (and not Apple) will be responsible for investigating the claim and, where appropriate, for defending, settling and/or discharging it.
10.1 We may update the app from time to time for reasons that include fixing bugs or enhancing functionality. We might also change or remove functionality but if we do that we will ensure that the app still meets the description of it that was provided to you at the time you downloaded the app.
10.2 Updates will either download automatically or you may need to trigger them yourself, depending on your device and its settings.
10.3 We strongly suggest that you download all updates as soon as they become available. Depending on the nature of the update, the app may not work properly (or at all), or you may be exposed to security vulnerabilities, if you do not keep the app updated to the latest version that we make available.
11.1 We may need to revise this agreement from time to time to reflect changes in the app’s functionality, to deal with a security threat or if there is a change in the law or guidance.
11.2 You will be asked to agree to any material changes in advance by an in-app notification, usually when you download an update. If you do not accept the changes, you will not be able to use the app and, Google users can apply to Planet Patrol for a refund (if you paid for the app).
12 External services and third parties
12.1 The app may enable you to access services, adverts and websites that we do not own or operate (referred to below as ‘external services’). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of these external services, and have not checked and approved their content or privacy policies. Before using them, make sure you have read and agreed to the terms on which they are being offered to you including the way in which they may use your personal data.
12.2 You must not use external services in any way that:
12.2.1 is inconsistent with these terms or with the terms of the external service; or
12.2.2 infringes our intellectual property rights, or the intellectual property rights of any third party.
12.3 From time to time, we may change or remove the external services that are made available through the app.
13.1 If we breach this contract or are negligent, we are liable to you for foreseeable loss or damage that you suffer as a result. By ‘foreseeable’ we mean that, at the time this contract was made, either it was clear that such loss or damage would occur or you and we both knew that it might reasonably occur, as a result of something we did (or failed to do).
13.2 We are not liable to you for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable, any loss or damage not caused by our breach or negligence, or any type of business loss or damage (including business interruption or business opportunity) as you may not to use the app for any commercial or business purposes. This includes damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
13.3 If the app damages your device or any software installed on it as a result of our failure to use reasonable care and skill, please let us know. If we can, we will repair the damage. If that is not possible, we will compensate you. We may ask you for information (including photographs) about what has happened so that we can understand the nature of the problem.
13.4 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for any death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
For Apple users
13.5 If the app fails to meet the standards required by law (including that the app is of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described), please contact Apple who will provide you with a full refund of the price you paid for the app (if any). Subject to clauses 13.1 to 13.4, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses will be our sole responsibility.
13.6 Apple has no other responsibility or obligation in relation to the app beyond providing a refund in the circumstances described in clause 13.5.
14 Failures of networks or hardware
14.1 The app relies on a number of things working properly to enable you to enjoy all of its features. Many of these, such as your internet connection, your device and the Store, are entirely outside of our control. Although we will do everything we reasonably can to resolve issues, we are not responsible to you if you are unable to use all or any part of the app due to a poor internet connection, faulty components in your device (such as a faulty camera), Store failure or anything else that it would not be reasonable to expect us to control.
14.2 We recommend that you back up any content and data used in connection with the app, to protect yourself in case of problems with the app.
15.1 The app is a tool for users to log environmental data and provides associated information. It does not offer advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of information obtained from the app.
15.2 Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the app, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that such information is accurate, complete or up to date.
15.3 The app has not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the app meet your requirements.
16.1 We can end this agreement at any time if you do not comply with any part of it. We will give you a reasonable amount of notice before the agreement ends but if what you have done is serious then we may end this agreement immediately and without advance notice to you. ‘Serious’ means that you are causing harm (or attempting to cause harm) to other users, interfering with the operation of the app or doing anything else that we think presents a big enough risk to justify us ending the agreement quickly.
16.2 The consequences of the agreement ending are as follows:
16.2.1 you are no longer allowed to use the app and we may remotely limit your access to it;
16.2.2 you must delete it (and all copies) from any devices that it has been installed on and confirm to us in writing that you have done this;
16.2.3 we may delete or suspend access to any accounts that you hold with us; and
16.2.4 you are not entitled to a refund of any price paid for the app.
