and users of the software for mobile devices („Apps“) offered by talkie walkie. These T&Cs govern the terms and conditions for the download and use of the various Apps. By using our apps, the user agrees to these GTC.
- user requirements
The range of functions of the apps may differ depending on the operating system. The functions are described in the respective app store such as iTunes, Google Play, etc. (hereinafter for all „App Store“). The hardware and firmware requirements for operating the app on end devices are listed in the App Store.
talkie walkie will provide app updates to the extent required by law in accordance with Section 327f of the German Civil Code (BGB). Talkie walkie reserves the right to make any further updates at its own discretion.
In order for the user to be able to download current content to his device with the help of the apps, talkie walkie requires a stable Internet connection of the user’s end device. After downloading content within an app, the user can use the content independently of an Internet connection (offline).
talkie walkie reserves the right to change an app at any time in a manner that is reasonable for the user, e.g. in order to develop it further and improve its quality. This applies to both technical and content-related further developments.
- in-app purchases and subscriptions
Using the app, the user can access current content in the form of a self-renewing in-app subscription („subscription“). The available terms are displayed in the order options. A Subscription includes the updating of the regulatory content via an update service.
Billing (see Section 4. Payment Processing) and management of the subscription are carried out exclusively via the user’s App Store account. The contract for the (in-)app purchase and the subscription is concluded between the user and the respective App Store operator.
The subscription automatically renews after the minimum contract period expires. Automatic renewal can be turned off up to 24 hours before expiration via the account settings in the App Store.
A subscription can be terminated via the account settings in the App Store. After the subscription is terminated, you can continue to use the rules you have already downloaded. Content is not updated after the subscription is terminated, nor is access to versions of content that precede the last downloaded version.
- payment processing and right of withdrawal
Payment processing for paid apps and in-app purchases takes place directly with the app store operator via the user account.
A refund of payments made in the App Store on the part of talkie walkie is excluded. In this respect, the general terms and conditions/terms of use of the store providers apply.
Any right of withdrawal must be exercised exclusively with the Store Providers. In this respect, the general terms and conditions/terms of use of the store providers shall apply.
- content backup
talkie walkie does not guarantee that entries in the app’s personal watch list (e.g. notes, bookmarks, etc.) are permanently saved. Especially after updates, these may no longer be available.
- limitation of liability
talkie walkie applies the care usually to be expected of a publisher in the selection, maintenance and up-to-dateness of the content. However, talkie walkie does not assume any liability for the correctness, up-to-dateness and completeness of the content provided and its selection and compilation. This applies in particular to the extent that talkie walkie is dependent on the supply of texts by third parties.
Insofar as the availability of the app is dependent on the services of third parties (in particular telecommunications providers), talkie walkie assumes no liability for the availability.
