Why are people making it so difficult?
1 You are looking for an app for your phone.
2 Some developer has made the app you want.
3 Google or Apple or F-Droid have set up a service that makes it possible for party 2 to get the app to party 1 and processes payment. They are the third party.
1 You want to stay in Paris for a week.
2 A hotel there offers rooms you can use.
3 A travel agency lets you find that hotel and books the room for you. They are the third party.
2a If you also want to travel there by train or plane or bus the travel agency can book these other second parties who ONLY deal with you too as the third party. The train, plane or bus company have no business with the hotel. They are separate second parties dealing with you as the first party.
1 You want to buy a product.
2 A store 150 km away has something you want and you buy it from them.
3 A courier service brings the product from the store to you. They are the third party.
The third party in some way aids in two other parties reaching whatever goal it is these two parties want to accomplish.
