Please read this agreement carefully before accessing the App or Hubs from our website or downloading the App from any Appstore. 

Introduction:

This end-user licence agreement (“EULA”) is a legal agreement between you (“End-user” or “you”) and Olio Exchange Limited (registered number 09428660) of 11A Brackenbury Road, London W6 0BE, England (“Licensor”, “us”, “our” or “we”) for the licence of our:

  • Olio mobile application software and the web-based version of the App (the “App”); 
  • Volunteer Hub and Partner Hub (together the “Hubs”);
  • online or electronic documents (“Documents”); and
  • the services you connect to via the App or Hubs and the content we provide to you through it (the “Services”). 

We licence the use of the App, Hubs, Documents and Services to you on the basis of this EULA and subject to any terms, rules or policies applied by any appstore provider or operator from whose site (“Appstore”) the End-user downloaded the App (the “Appstore Rules”). With regards to the App, the Appstore Rules will apply instead of the terms of this EULA where there are differences between the two.

Although you may subscribe for our Services, we do not sell the App, Hubs, Services or Documents to you. We remain the owners of the App, Hubs, Services and Documents at all times.
