We will notify you of modified terms or policies by posting them on the service, by emailing you at the email address that you have provided for your Wizarding Passport or by using some other reasonable means to notify you. Each time you use the service, the version of these terms in force at that time will apply to your use of the service.

So please review the posted terms, policies and any relevant additional terms each time you use the service.

5 Mobile devices

(a) Wireless charges

If you use a mobile device of any kind (including a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or other portable device) to interact with the service or to receive communications from us, you are solely responsible for all charges from your wireless and internet providers, including any data and messaging fees that you may incur.

(b) Apps

We may make certain mobile software apps available for download in connection with the service, whether from the site or via third-party app stores. Such stores will have their own additional terms of service, rules and policies. You will need to comply with those in addition to these terms.

You may only use such apps for personal use. If you download the app onto any device that you do not own, you must have the owner’s permission to do so, and you will be responsible for complying with these terms, whether or not you own the device.

You are not permitted to copy such apps unless necessary to use such apps on approved devices, and you are not permitted to reverse-engineer, create derivative works from, decompile, modify, translate, merge, alter, transfer or distribute any such apps, unless such actions cannot be prohibited by law.

We do not guarantee that the apps will be compatible with your device, hardware, viewport, platform, operating system or software. Each app will have various technical specifications (such as a particular device type, device platform, operating-system version, browser type or viewport size or a minimum memory requirement) that will need to be satisfied for the app to function properly (or at all) on your device.

Some app features, functions or content may require activation or may only be available if you have created an account with us, or only available for a certain locality or limited period of time.

We may choose to make available software updates, bug fixes, patches, add-ons or other changes or enhancements to the apps from time to time. Such updates may be automatic if you choose, or (at our discretion) mandatory if you wish to continue using the apps.

You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the apps, or any other software provided as part of the service, except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the software was obtained. In particular, neither the apps, nor any other software, may be exported or re-exported into any U.S. embargoed countries or to any persons listed as prohibited under any relevant law or regulation.

So, if you download or use any software in connection with the service, you confirm that you are:

• not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and

• not listed on any U.S. Government list (or other country’s governmental list) of prohibited or restricted parties. (c) iTunes App Store

The additional terms in this section 5(c) apply only to your use of apps downloaded through the iTunes App Store operated by Apple Inc. (“Apple”).

You also agree to comply with all third-party agreements in connection with your use of iTunes apps (for example, your wireless provider agreement).

Finally, you agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries solely for the purpose of enforcing these additional terms against you in connection with your use of iTunes apps.
