(hereinafter referred to as "Provider" or "we")
§ 1 Scope and Subject Matter
(1) These Terms of Use govern the use of the mobile application "Swipesight" (hereinafter referred to as "App") by you (hereinafter referred to as "User" or "you").
(2) The subject matter of the contract is the free use of the App's basic features as well as the future possibility to purchase additional features within the scope of a subscription.
(3) The contract regarding the use of the App is concluded when the User downloads the App from the respective App Store (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and agrees to these Terms of Use upon first use.
§ 2 Description of Services
(1) Swipesight enables Users to discover sights and points of interest in their vicinity. These can be rated positively ("Like") or negatively ("Dislike") using swipe gestures. Positively rated sights are saved in a personal favorites list and displayed on an interactive map.
(2) The basic features of the App are provided to the User free of charge. The Provider reserves the right to offer paid additional features in the future (see § 7).
(3) The App is intended exclusively for consumers for personal, non-commercial use. Any future opening for commercial users (e.g., advertisers) remains reserved and will be governed by separate terms and conditions if applicable.
§ 3 Registration and User Account
(1) Use of the App is possible to a limited extent without creating a fully functional user account ("Guest Access"). Guest Access is realized via anonymous authentication. Users with Guest Access do not have access to all functions (e.g., uploading images or creating new sights). Inactive guest accounts and associated data are automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity.
(2) To use all functions of the App, registration is required. Registration is currently carried out exclusively via the "Google Sign-In" service. This requires an existing Google account. Upon registration, Google transmits the User's email address, name, and profile picture to the Provider.
(3) The User is obliged to keep the login credentials for their Google account secure and protect them from third-party access. The User is personally responsible for all activities carried out via their user account.
§ 4 Prerequisites for Use and Minimum Age
(1) The App is intended for Users who are at least 12 years of age.
(2) Users who are minors (under 18 years of age in Germany) may only use the App with the consent of their legal guardians (usually parents). By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you represent that you are either of legal age or that you have obtained the necessary consent from your parents.
§ 5 User-Generated Content (UGC)
(1) Users have the opportunity to contribute their own content to the App (hereinafter "User Content"). This includes:
- Uploading photos of sights.
- Suggesting and creating new sights (based on data from OpenStreetMap).
(2) Warranty of Rights: The User warrants that they possess all necessary rights to the User Content uploaded by them (in particular copyright to photos and privacy rights of depicted persons) and that this content does not violate applicable law or standards of decency.
(3) Granting of Rights: To enable us to display User Content in the App, the User grants the Provider a simple, temporally and geographically unlimited, royalty-free, and transferable license to the uploaded content. This includes the right to store, reproduce, and make the images and texts publicly available (display in the App for other Users). The User's copyright remains unaffected by this.
(4) Moderation: All uploaded images and newly suggested sights are reviewed by the Provider's moderators before publication. There is no entitlement to publication. The Provider reserves the right to reject content or remove it retrospectively without giving reasons, particularly if it violates these Terms of Use (e.g., blurry images, third-party copyrighted material, illegal content).
§ 6 User Obligations and Prohibited Conduct
(1) The User agrees to use the App only for its intended purpose and in accordance with these Terms of Use and applicable law.
(2) In particular, the User is prohibited from:
- a) decompiling, reverse engineering, or attempting to disclose the source code of the App;
- b) using the App for commercial purposes without express permission;
- c) uploading content that is illegal, offensive, pornographic, glorifies violence, or infringes on the rights of third parties;
- d) harassing, threatening, or stalking other Users;
- e) using automated systems (bots, scripts) to interact with the App.
(3) Indemnification: The User shall indemnify and hold the Provider harmless from all third-party claims asserted against the Provider due to a legal violation caused by content posted by the User (e.g., copyright infringement through stolen photos). The User also assumes the costs of the necessary legal defense.
§ 7 Future Fees and Payment Terms
(1) The use of the basic features of the App is and remains permanently free of charge.
(2) The Provider plans to offer paid additional features in the future within a subscription model. The User will be informed transparently within the App about the costs before purchasing such functions.
(3) Payments are processed exclusively via the in-app purchase systems of the respective platform providers (Apple App Store, Google Play Store). The terms and conditions of the respective store apply in addition to these Terms.
§ 8 Warranty and Availability
(1) The App is provided to the User in its current version on an "as is" basis.
(2) The Provider strives for the most uninterrupted availability possible but does not guarantee specific availability (e.g., 99%). Maintenance work or technical problems may lead to downtime.
§ 9 Limitation of Liability
(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health.
(2) In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). These are obligations whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which the User may regularly rely. In this case, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.
(3) The above limitations of liability also apply in favor of the Provider's legal representatives and vicarious agents.
§ 10 Term and Termination
(1) The user contract is concluded for an indefinite period.
(2) The User may terminate the contract at any time by deleting their user account in the App settings ("Delete Account").
(3) The Provider is entitled to block the user account or terminate the contract without notice if the User materially breaches these Terms of Use (e.g., uploading prohibited content).
§ 11 Changes to Terms of Use
The Provider reserves the right to change these Terms of Use at any time to adapt them to changed legal situations or technical developments. The User will be informed of changes (e.g., when starting the App).
§ 12 Final Provisions
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies.
(2) Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
