Terms and Conditions
Introduction
These terms of service are applicable between the user of the app "Planki" and its operator, Bastian Raschke (contact information is available in the imprint). By using "Planki", the user agrees to these terms.
Definitions
In these terms of service, the following terms have the following meanings:
- "Service": The app "Planki" provided by us (hereinafter referred to as the "app").
- "User": Any natural or legal person who uses the app.
- "Content": All information, data, and materials provided through the service.
Scope of services
The app enables the user to practice the plank exercise with a countdown timer. While the timer is running, the user can play a game to make the exercise less mentally exhausting. The user collects points for doing the exercise itself and the additional achievements in the game.
If the user decides to create an account within the app, his user and workout session data will be synchronized to our servers, so he can use the app on multiple devices and his progress is automatically saved. Additionally, his progress is shown on a publicly available leaderboard.
User rights and obligations
The app must not be used for illegal activities that infringe on the rights of third parties or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
The user can use the app locally only (so all of his data stays on his device). Once he decides to create an account on our servers, this decision is permanent: this means he can't change it back to local usage due to technical reasons.
Creating user accounts through bots or other automated methods is not permitted. Additionally, it is not allowed to conduct so-called benchmark tests or other capacity tests on our technical infrastructure.
The user is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their access credentials (especially their email address and password) and all activities that occur under their account.
Data protection and security
Our privacy policy explains how we handle user data in relation to the use of the app. By agreeing to the terms of service, the user also agrees to the Privacy Policy.
Intellectual property rights
All rights to the app, including but not limited to the source code, design, logos, and other protected content, are owned by us.
The user may not copy, modify, distribute, decompile, reverse engineer, or extract the source code of the app or its contents.
All content that the user stores or creates within the app remains their property. However, we reserve the right to store, process, and backup this content to the extent necessary for providing the services.
Disclaimer of warranties
The app is provided without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. The user expressly agrees that the use is at their own risk.
We may make changes to the app at any time without prior notice. Furthermore, we may, at our sole discretion, limit or discontinue the service without providing a reason.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from the use of the app, including but not limited to lost or corrupted data, service interruptions, use of third-party providers, unauthorized access, or the loss of data following account termination or deletion, unless such damages are due to willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The user agrees to indemnify us from any claims arising from the use of the app.
Termination and suspension/deletion
Both parties may terminate this agreement at any time in writing without providing a reason.
We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently suspend the user's access to the app and delete their data in case of violations of these terms of service. The user will usually be notified by email before a permanent action is taken, unless immediate intervention is required.
Changes to the terms of service
We reserve the right to update these terms of use to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The user will be informed of significant changes through a notification within the app.
Continued use of the app after 30 days from the notification will be considered as acceptance of the revised terms of use.
If the user does not agree to the revised terms, they are required to terminate their account within this period. After the expiration of this period and in the absence of agreement, all data will be deleted and access to the service will be permanently terminated.
Governing law
These terms of service are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Miscellaneous
If any provision of these terms of service is found to be invalid, the remainder shall remain unaffected.
These terms of service constitute the entire agreement between the user and us.
