Subject always to contract and availability of products, the App offers customers using the Outlets the opportunity to use the App to participate in customer loyalty schemes, rewards, special promotions and prize draws (“App Promotions”) advertised and administered via the App. Additionally at the University’s discretion, the University may use the App to provide users with essential information about the Outlets, such as locations, opening times and menus and to allow customer feedback. The University reserves the right to develop the app to provide additional services such as payment and subscription services, subject to service specific additional user terms and conditions.
In the event that you as a customer wish to download the App and create a user account in order to access and participate in the App Promotions, you must visit an app store appropriate to your device and follow the online prompts.

However, in unlikely event a pricing error is identified by the University at any time, the University reserves the right to decline or cancel your order. You are then free to place another order when pricing errors have been rectified. The University accepts no responsibility or liability for any inconvenience caused in the event, or as a consequence, of any pricing error.
