Hivve gives no other warranty in connection with any of the Websites or its content or any External Sites and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Hivve excludes liability for any loss, damage, inaccuracies, interruptions, third party infringement, external site issues, malware, or other warranties not expressly stated.

These terms of use and the terms referred to herein, including our privacy policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hivve relating to your use of the Websites. Failure to enforce any term does not constitute a waiver of that term. If any part of these terms of use is found to be unenforceable, it will be amended to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect. The Websites are intended for and directed at the United Kingdom. These terms of use are subject to the laws of England and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
