§ 1 Scope and Subject Matter
(1) These Terms of Use govern the use of the mobile application "Swipesight" (hereinafter "App") by you (hereinafter "User" or "you").
(2) The subject of the contract is the free use of the basic functions of the App, as well as the future option to purchase paid additional functions as part of a subscription.
(3) The contract for 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 allows users to discover sights 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 functions of the App are provided to the User free of charge. The Provider reserves the right to offer paid additional functions in the future (see § 7).
(3) The App is intended exclusively for consumers for personal, non-commercial use. A future opening for commercial users (e.g., advertisers) is reserved and will be governed by separate terms and conditions if applicable.
§ 3 Registration and User Account
(1) Limited use of the App is possible without creating a full user account ("Guest Access"). Guest Access is implemented via Firebase Anonymous Authentication. Users with Guest Access do not have all functions available (e.g., uploading images). Inactive guest accounts and their associated data are automatically deleted after 30 days.
(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. During registration, Google transmits the User's email address, name, and profile picture to the Provider.
(3) The User is obligated to keep the access data for their Google account secure and to protect it from access by third parties. The User is solely responsible for all activities carried out via their user account.
§ 4 Usage Requirements and Minimum Age
(1) The use of Swipesight is permitted only for individuals who are at least 16 years old or are acting with the consent of their legal guardians.
(2) By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. The Provider reserves the right to request proof of age in case of justified doubts and to block the user account if the requirement is not met.
§ 5 User-Generated Content
(1) Users have the option to upload their own images of sights in the App (hereinafter "User Content").
(2) The User warrants that they possess all necessary rights to the User Content they upload ( especially copyright and personal rights) and that this content does not violate applicable law or moral standards.
(3) To display, store, and make the User Content visible to other users in the App, the User grants the Provider a simple, spatially unlimited, free of charge, and transferable right of use to the uploaded content. The User's copyright remains unaffected; the User remains the owner of the rights to their content.
