Such a reason may exist in particular in the event of changes in law or case law, official or regulatory requirements, technical developments, security requirements, changes to the functions or services of Buddycheck, changes to the Platforms used, or further development of the business model.

We will inform you of material changes to these Terms of Use in an appropriate manner. Where your consent to an amendment is required by law, we will obtain it. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

Purchased content and features may only be used within Buddycheck and, unless expressly provided otherwise, may not be sold, traded or transferred.

Where you have a statutory right of withdrawal, the statutory provisions apply. In the case of digital content, the right of withdrawal may expire early under the statutory conditions.

Buddycheck may change prices for future purchases at any time. Purchases already completed remain unaffected by subsequent price changes.

8. Availability and Warranty

Buddycheck is provided to you “as is” and in its currently available form. Buddycheck endeavors to provide the app reliably and with as few disruptions as possible. However, continuous, uninterrupted or error-free availability cannot be guaranteed.

The availability of Buddycheck may be temporarily restricted in particular due to maintenance, updates, technical disruptions, security measures, force majeure or other circumstances outside Buddycheck’s control.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, Buddycheck does not guarantee that the app or individual features will be available at all times or meet the user’s individual expectations.

If Buddycheck is obtained via the Apple App Store, Google Play or another Platform, the respective Platform provider is not obliged to provide maintenance or support services for Buddycheck unless otherwise provided by the Platform provider’s terms.

Your statutory warranty rights remain unaffected by the foregoing provisions.

9. Liability

Buddycheck shall have unlimited liability for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence by Buddycheck, its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations, Buddycheck shall be liable only for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Material contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely.

In all other respects, Buddycheck’s liability for slight negligence is excluded.

The foregoing exclusions and limitations of liability do not apply to damage resulting from injury to life, body or health, fraudulently concealed defects, an expressly assumed guarantee, or in other cases in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law.

Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) remains unaffected.

To the extent that Buddycheck’s liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of Buddycheck’s legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents.

10. User Responsibility

You are responsible for your use of Buddycheck and for the content you create, enter, upload or share.

You undertake not to use Buddycheck unlawfully, abusively or contrary to these Terms of Use and not to take any action that harms Buddycheck, other users or third parties or infringes their rights.

You are responsible for adequately protecting your device, Platform account and, where applicable, your access credentials against access by third parties.

To the extent that Buddycheck provides functions for local storage or backup of User Content or data, you are responsible for taking appropriate backup measures where this is possible and reasonable for you.

Subject to Section 9, Buddycheck shall not be liable for damage resulting from your culpable violation of these Terms of Use or applicable law, your culpable disclosure of access credentials to third parties, or your culpable failure to take reasonable measures to back up your data.

The respective third party’s terms and privacy policies may apply to the use of third-party offers.

12. External Links and Third-Party Services
