You should not include sensitive, confidential, or private information in event titles, descriptions, locations, notes, or invitations unless you are comfortable sharing that information with the relevant participants and, where applicable, external calendar providers.

By creating or sharing content through VerbinderApp, you grant VerbinderApp the limited rights needed to operate the Service, including to store, process, display, transmit, synchronize, and make that content available to the users you choose or to users involved in the relevant event or time poll.

You retain ownership of your content. VerbinderApp does not claim ownership of your event details, messages, notes, or other user content.

Calendar integrations are provided to help you:

view availability;
avoid scheduling conflicts;
select calendars;
save events to calendars you choose;
update or remove events where supported and requested by you.

You are responsible for the calendar accounts you connect and the calendar actions you approve.

External Calendar providers are not controlled by VerbinderApp. Your use of an External Calendar is also governed by that provider's own terms, privacy policy, account settings, and technical rules.

VerbinderApp is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, synchronization behavior, limitations, outages, or data handling practices of External Calendar providers.

9. Notifications and reminders

VerbinderApp may send notifications, reminders, invitation updates, time poll updates, participant responses, and service messages.

Notifications and reminders are provided for convenience. VerbinderApp does not guarantee that notifications or reminders will always be delivered, accurate, or received on time.

You remain responsible for checking your events, calendars, obligations, and commitments.

10. Third-party services and platforms

The Service may interact with or depend on third-party services, platforms, app stores, calendar providers, operating systems, push notification services, hosting providers, or device features.

Third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies. VerbinderApp is not responsible for third-party services, including their content, availability, security, functionality, or data practices.

If you download VerbinderApp through an app store, your use of the App may also be subject to the terms of that app store.

11. App stores

If you download VerbinderApp from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another app store, the app store provider may be a third-party beneficiary of these Terms to the extent required by that provider's rules.

The app store provider is not responsible for providing support or maintenance for VerbinderApp unless required by applicable law or the app store provider's own terms.

For Apple users, the license granted to you is limited to use of the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by Apple's applicable usage rules, unless Apple's terms allow broader use.

12. Availability and changes to the Service

We aim to provide a reliable Service, but we do not guarantee that VerbinderApp will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

We may modify, suspend, limit, replace, or discontinue parts of the Service where necessary or appropriate, including to:

improve or update the Service;
fix bugs or security issues;
comply with legal requirements;
prevent misuse;
respond to technical, operational, or business needs.

Where reasonably possible and required by law, we will provide notice of material changes that significantly affect your use of the Service.

13. Updates to the App

VerbinderApp may provide updates, upgrades, patches, bug fixes, or other modifications to the App.

Updates may add, change, or remove features. Some updates may be required for security, compatibility, or continued use of the Service.

You are responsible for keeping the App updated where updates are made available through your app store or device.

14. Fees, purchases, and refunds

VerbinderApp may currently be free or may offer paid features, subscriptions, or purchases in the future.

If paid features are introduced, the price, billing terms, renewal terms, cancellation options, and refund rules will be shown before purchase and will apply in addition to these Terms.

If purchases are made through an app store, refunds and billing may be handled by that app store according to its own terms and policies.

Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights you may have under applicable law.

15. Account deletion and termination by you

You may stop using VerbinderApp at any time.

You can delete your account directly inside the App:

Settings → Account Settings → Delete Account

You will be asked to confirm your choice before deletion is completed.

Deleting the App from your device does not necessarily delete your VerbinderApp account. To delete your account, use the in-app deletion option or contact privacy@verbinderapp.com for privacy-related deletion questions.

16. Suspension and termination by VerbinderApp

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to VerbinderApp if:

you violate these Terms;
you misuse the Service;
your use creates risk or potential legal exposure for VerbinderApp, other users, or third parties;
we are required to do so by law, court order, or platform requirement;
we need to protect the security, integrity, or availability of the Service.

Where appropriate and reasonably possible, we will provide notice. However, we may act without prior notice where necessary to protect users, prevent misuse, comply with law, or address urgent security or operational concerns.

After termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Certain provisions of these Terms will continue to apply where their nature requires it, including provisions about intellectual property, user content licenses, limitation of liability, disclaimers, governing law, and dispute resolution.

17. Privacy

Your use of VerbinderApp is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and what rights and choices you have.

You can contact us about privacy matters at privacy@verbinderapp.com.

18. Intellectual property

VerbinderApp, including the App, Website, software, design, user interface, features, logos, trademarks, service marks, graphics, text, and other materials, is owned by VerbinderApp UG or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not use VerbinderApp's trademarks, logos, branding, or trade dress without our prior written permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of VerbinderApp intellectual property to you.

19. Feedback and suggestions

If you provide feedback, ideas, suggestions, or improvement proposals, you allow VerbinderApp to use them without restriction or compensation to you.

This does not affect your ownership of your own user content. It only means that VerbinderApp may use your feedback to improve, develop, market, or operate the Service without owing you payment or credit.

20. Copyright and intellectual property complaints

If you believe that content available through VerbinderApp infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, contact us at support@verbinderapp.com with enough information for us to understand and investigate the issue.

We may remove or restrict content where appropriate or required by law.

21. No professional advice

VerbinderApp is a scheduling and calendar coordination tool. It does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, employment, or other professional advice.

You are responsible for decisions you make based on your events, calendars, invitations, reminders, and communications.

22. Disclaimer of warranties

VerbinderApp is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee that:

the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
reminders or notifications will always be delivered or delivered on time;
calendar integrations will always work without errors or delays;
event information entered by users will be accurate or complete;
the Service will meet your specific requirements;
defects will always be corrected.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties, rights, or remedies that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

23. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, VerbinderApp UG is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising from or related to your use of the Service.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, VerbinderApp UG's total liability for claims arising from or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to VerbinderApp for the Service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. If you did not pay anything to VerbinderApp, liability is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, mandatory product liability, or mandatory consumer rights.

24. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to compensate VerbinderApp UG for reasonable losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from:

your unlawful use of the Service;
your violation of these Terms;
your infringement of third-party rights;
content you submit or share through the Service;
your misuse of contact, invitation, or calendar features.

This indemnity does not apply where the claim results from VerbinderApp's own breach of these Terms or where prohibited by applicable consumer law.

25. Consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms affects mandatory rights you may have as a consumer under applicable law.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, Germany, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, those mandatory rights continue to apply regardless of anything in these Terms.

26. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection laws that may apply in your country of residence.

27. Dispute resolution and jurisdiction

If you have a concern or dispute, please contact us first at support@verbinderapp.com so we can try to resolve it informally.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the courts with jurisdiction under applicable law will decide the dispute.

If you are a consumer, you may bring claims in the courts available to you under mandatory consumer protection rules. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory right you may have to bring a claim in your place of residence.

If you are acting as a business and not as a consumer, the courts of Germany will have jurisdiction to the extent permitted by applicable law.

28. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we will provide notice where required by law, such as through the App, Website, email, or another appropriate method.

The "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms shows when they were last revised.

If you continue using VerbinderApp after updated Terms become effective, the updated Terms will apply to your continued use, unless applicable law requires a different process.

29. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

The invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted or replaced to the extent possible in a way that achieves the original purpose while remaining lawful and enforceable.

30. No waiver

If VerbinderApp does not enforce a provision of these Terms, this does not mean that VerbinderApp waives the right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver is only effective if made in writing by VerbinderApp.

31. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

VerbinderApp may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, legal restructuring, or by operation of law, provided your mandatory rights are not reduced.

32. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms that apply to specific features, form the agreement between you and VerbinderApp regarding your use of the Service.

They replace any prior agreements or understandings about the Service, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
