Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to [APP NAME] ("we," "our," "us," or the "Company"), operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], a company established in Germany. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the [APP NAME] mobile application and any related services (collectively, the "App" or "Service").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, including by tapping "I Agree," creating an account, or making any purchase, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App.

These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver in Section 18. Please read them carefully.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Minimum Age

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

2.2 Capacity

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction.

2.3 Restricted Persons

You may not use the App if you are barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, or if you are located in a country subject to U.S. embargo or sanctions (including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, and the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics).

2.4 No Minors' Data

The App is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at [SUPPORT EMAIL] and we will delete it.

2.5 Purchases by Minors

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to purchase a pass or subscription. If you are between the minimum age in Section 2.1 and the age of majority, you may use the free tier only, and any purchase requires verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

3. Nature of Service: AI-Generated Content

3.1 Description

The App identifies points of interest near your location and generates descriptive text and audio guides using third-party Large Language Models ("LLMs"), including but not limited to models provided by OpenAI, Google, and other third parties (collectively, "AI Providers").

3.2 Third-Party AI Models

We do not own, operate, or control the AI Providers' underlying models. Your use of AI-generated content is also subject to the AI Providers' terms of service and policies. We make no representation or warranty regarding the AI Providers' services.

3.3 Transmission to AI Providers

To generate content, the App transmits certain data to AI Providers, which may include identifiers of nearby points of interest, language preference, and limited device or session metadata. The App does not accept free-form user prompts; all prompt content is determined by the Company. By using the App, you consent to this transmission. AI Providers may process this data under their own policies, which we do not control.

3.4 Accuracy Disclaimer

AI-generated content is probabilistic and may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, fabrications ("hallucinations"), outdated information, or content that conflicts with the historical, scientific, religious, cultural, or factual record. You acknowledge that:

1. Names, dates, attributions, anecdotes, and historical claims may be wrong;
2. Architectural, religious, or cultural descriptions may be inaccurate or oversimplified;
3. Operational information (hours, prices, accessibility, opening status) is not verified and may be incorrect or out-of-date;
4. Translations and pronunciations may be wrong.

You agree to independently verify any information before relying on it.

3.5 Not Professional Advice

Content is provided for entertainment and informational purposes only. It is not academic, historical, religious, legal, navigational, medical, safety, or professional advice and must not be relied upon as such.

3.6 Sensitive, Biased, or Offensive Content

Despite safety filters, AI models may generate content that is inaccurate, biased, stereotyped, culturally insensitive, religiously inappropriate, politically charged, or otherwise objectionable. You acknowledge this risk and agree the Company is not liable for such content. If you encounter problematic content, please report it to [SUPPORT EMAIL].

3.7 Content Variability

Outputs are non-deterministic. The same selection may produce different content for different users or different sessions. We do not guarantee any specific output, length, style, language quality, or audio characteristics.

3.8 No Guarantee of Coverage

The App may not have content for every location, language, or category. Coverage and quality vary by region.

4. User Accounts and Access

4.1 Guest Access

Guests may access limited functionality (currently one free guide per 24-hour period). We track guest usage using device-level identifiers; circumventing these limits is prohibited (Section 10).

4.2 Registration

To purchase passes, upload photos, or use full features, you must create an account using a valid email address or supported third-party sign-in. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.

4.3 Account Security

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at [SUPPORT EMAIL] if you suspect unauthorized access. We are not liable for losses caused by unauthorized account use that you fail to promptly report.

4.4 One Account Per Person

You may not maintain multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits or pricing.

4.5 Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from within the App settings or by emailing [SUPPORT EMAIL]. Deletion is processed within 30 days and may be subject to retention obligations described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

5.1 Passes

We offer Day, Week, and Yearly passes. Features and pricing for each tier are displayed in the App at the point of purchase.

5.2 Payment Processing

All purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store ("Stores"). The Stores are responsible for billing. We do not collect or store payment card information.

5.3 Auto-Renewing Subscriptions

Where a pass is configured as an auto-renewing subscription:

1. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each period at the then-current price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period;
2. Cancellation must be made through your Apple ID or Google account settings;
3. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription;
4. Payment is charged to your Store account at confirmation of purchase.

5.4 Free Trials

If we offer a free trial, you must cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged. Trial eligibility is one per user.

5.5 Refunds

All refund requests are subject to the policies of the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not directly process refunds. Where required by mandatory consumer law (including the EU 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content), refund rights provided by such law are not waived; however, by accessing AI-generated content immediately upon purchase, you may forfeit the EU right of withdrawal in accordance with Article 16(m) of the Consumer Rights Directive, and you expressly consent to this.

5.6 Price Changes

We may modify prices for new purchases at any time. For active recurring subscriptions, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cancel before any price change takes effect, as required by law and Store policies.

5.7 Taxes

Stated prices may exclude applicable taxes; you are responsible for any taxes assessed by the Stores or tax authorities.

5.8 Promotional Codes

Promotional codes are non-transferable, may not be redeemed for cash, and may expire. We may revoke codes obtained fraudulently.

6. Location Services and Physical Safety

6.1 Location Data

Core App functionality requires access to your device's precise location (GPS). By granting permission, you consent to our collection and processing of location data as described in our Privacy Policy. You may revoke permission at any time in your device settings, but the App may not function correctly without it.

6.2 Assumption of Risk

You expressly assume all risks associated with using the App in physical environments. The App is a digital companion, not a navigation tool, safety device, guide service, or trip planner.

6.3 Safety Rules

You agree:

1. Not to look at the App while walking, driving, cycling, or operating any vehicle;
2. Not to use the App in traffic, on roadways, on bridges, near cliffs, near water, in extreme weather, in low visibility, or on uneven or unsafe terrain;
3. Not to use the App as a substitute for navigation, mapping, or emergency services;
4. Not to enter any private property, restricted area, closed site, archaeological site, religious site, military zone, conflict area, or other off-limits location, regardless of whether the App or AI-generated content suggests or describes it;
5. To comply with all local laws, customs, dress codes, photography rules, and conduct restrictions at any site;
6. To exercise independent judgment about whether a location is safe, accessible, lawful, or appropriate to visit;
7. Not to rely on the App for survival, wilderness, medical, or emergency information.

6.4 AI Suggestions Are Informational Only

Mention or description of a location by the App does not imply that the location is safe, open, accessible, lawful to enter, or appropriate to visit.

6.5 Release and Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release the Company, its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including bodily injury, death, property damage, emotional distress, illegal entry, or arrest) arising out of or related to your use of the App in physical environments, regardless of whether the AI-generated content was accurate or inaccurate. This release does not apply where prohibited by law (e.g., for gross negligence or willful misconduct in jurisdictions that prohibit waiver of such claims).

7. Privacy and Data Processing

7.1 Privacy Policy

Our collection, use, and sharing of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7.2 Third-Party Processing

By using the App, you acknowledge that personal data (including location, device identifiers, and selected point-of-interest data) will be transmitted to and processed by our service providers, including AI Providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, and the Stores, in accordance with their respective policies.

7.3 International Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including the United States. By using the App, you consent to such transfers, subject to safeguards required by applicable law.

7.4 Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for details and how to exercise these rights.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, interface, branding, logos, trade dress, organization, and all materials we create, are owned by the Company or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

8.2 Limited License to You

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial purposes.

8.3 AI-Generated Content License

To the extent we have rights in AI-generated outputs delivered through the App, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use those outputs for personal, non-commercial purposes only. We make no warranty regarding the copyright status, originality, or non-infringement of AI-generated content. Some AI-generated content may not be eligible for copyright protection under applicable law.

8.4 Restrictions

You may not, and may not allow any third party to:

1. copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App or its content;
2. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code (except to the limited extent expressly permitted by mandatory law, such as Article 6 of EU Directive 2009/24/EC);
3. sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the App or its content;
4. scrape, harvest, or systematically extract content;
5. use the App or its content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI or machine learning model;
6. remove or alter any proprietary notices.

8.5 Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use them without restriction or compensation.

8.6 Trademarks

[APP NAME] and our logos are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written consent.

9. User-Submitted Photos

9.1 Submissions

The App allows registered users to upload photographs of public attractions ("User Photos") for use in the App.

9.2 License Grant

By uploading a User Photo, you grant the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, crop, edit, create derivative works of, publish, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit the User Photo, in whole or in part, in any media now known or later developed, including within the App, on our website, in newsletters, on social media, in advertising and promotional materials, and in any future channels we may use, for any purpose related to the App or the Company's business, without any obligation to credit, notify, or compensate you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any moral rights, attribution rights, or rights of integrity in the User Photo.

9.3 Your Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that, for each User Photo:

1. you are the sole author and owner of all rights in it, or you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to grant the license in Section 9.2;
2. it does not infringe any copyright, trademark, trade secret, design right, privacy right, personality right, right of publicity, moral right, or other right of any third party;
3. it does not depict any identifiable person, whether as a focal subject or otherwise;
4. it does not contain illegal, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, threatening, violent, or otherwise inappropriate content;
5. it accurately depicts a publicly accessible attraction and was taken lawfully, including in compliance with any photography restrictions, no-photography zones, or rights-of-publicity rules at the site;
6. it does not contain copyrighted artworks, performances, signage, logos, or installations that are not covered by Panoramafreiheit (Section 59 UrhG) or an equivalent free-use exception in the country where the photograph was taken;
7. it does not contain confidential, classified, or commercially sensitive information.

9.4 Metadata

Uploaded photos may contain embedded metadata (EXIF), including GPS coordinates, capture time, and device information. We re-encode uploaded photos to strip EXIF metadata before storage.

9.5 Pre-Publication Review

No User Photo is published in the App without our prior approval. Submissions are reviewed through an internal moderation workflow that may combine automated tools (including AI-based image-classification services) with human review by Company personnel via an internal admin dashboard. We may approve, edit, crop, watermark, reject, or remove any User Photo at our sole discretion, with or without notice or explanation, and we are under no obligation to provide reasons for rejection. Our approval of a User Photo does not constitute a representation that the photo is lawful, accurate, non-infringing, or accompanied by all necessary consents, and does not relieve you of any obligation, representation, or warranty under Section 9.3.

9.6 No Compensation

You will not receive any payment, royalty, attribution, or other consideration for User Photos.

9.7 Your Responsibility; Editorial Discretion

You remain solely responsible for User Photos you submit and for the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Section 9.3. We exercise editorial discretion over which User Photos we publish, but we do not, by reviewing or approving a User Photo, become a co-author, guarantor, or independent verifier of the photo's lawfulness, accuracy, ownership, or consents. Where applicable, we will act expeditiously upon obtaining actual knowledge that any published User Photo is unlawful, in accordance with Sections 7-10 of the German Telemedia Act and Articles 6 and 16 of the Digital Services Act.

9.8 Notice and Takedown

If you believe a User Photo infringes your rights or violates these Terms, send a notice to [SUPPORT EMAIL] containing: (a) your contact details; (b) identification of the User Photo; (c) the legal basis for the complaint; (d) a statement of good-faith belief; and (e) a statement of accuracy. We will assess and act on valid notices in accordance with applicable law.

9.9 Withdrawal of Your Submission

You may request deletion of a specific User Photo by contacting [SUPPORT EMAIL]. For photos still under review, we will discard the submission promptly. For published photos, we will remove them from active distribution within 30 days. The license in Section 9.2 survives with respect to copies already lawfully sublicensed, distributed, or used in promotional materials before your request, and with respect to derivative works in active production. Backups may retain copies for up to 35 days.

10. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

1. use the App for any illegal, harmful, fraudulent, or infringing purpose;
2. attempt to manipulate, reverse engineer, or extract the prompts, system instructions, model parameters, or other internal logic used to generate content, including by intercepting, modifying, or replaying network requests, spoofing location data, or using a modified client;
3. attempt to elicit or generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, threatening, or that promotes violence, self-harm, or discrimination;
4. impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
5. interfere with, disrupt, or overload the Service or its infrastructure, including via automated requests, denial-of-service techniques, or excessive usage;

7. probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach security or authentication measures, except as expressly authorized through a coordinated disclosure program;
8. use the App or its content to develop competing products or to train AI/ML systems;
9. use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access the App;

The Service is provided on a commercially reasonable basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

11.2 Third-Party Dependencies

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature at any time, with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access without liability.

12. Disclaimers; "AS IS"

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (b) USD $100.

13.3 Essential Basis

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US.

13.4 Non-Waivable Laws

Some jurisdictions do not permit exclusion or limitation of certain damages (e.g., for personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or gross negligence). In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law and nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

15.4 No Refund on Termination for Cause

If we terminate your access for violation of these Terms, no refund is due, subject to applicable mandatory consumer law and Store policies.

16. Apple App Store Specific Terms

If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, the following terms apply and override any conflicting provisions:

16.1 Acknowledgment

These Terms are between you and the Company only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

16.2 Scope of License

Your license is limited to use of the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.

16.3 Maintenance and Support

The Company, not Apple, is solely responsible for any maintenance and support.

The Company is solely responsible for product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, which will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

16.5 Product Claims

The Company, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your use of it, including (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to applicable legal requirements; and (c) consumer protection or privacy claims.

16.6 IP Claims

The Company, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property.

16.7 Legal Compliance

You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed country and not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

17. Google Play Specific Terms

If you obtained the App through Google Play, your use is subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App. Refunds for purchases via Google Play are subject to Google Play's policies.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

18.1 Informal Resolution

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at [SUPPORT EMAIL] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

18.2 Binding Arbitration

Except as provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by [JAMS / AAA] under its then-current rules. The arbitration will be conducted in [ARBITRATION VENUE] in English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to [SUPPORT EMAIL] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out.

If the class action waiver is held unenforceable as to any claim, that claim must be severed and brought in court; the remainder of this Section remains enforceable.

18.7 EU/UK Consumers

If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, this Section does not deprive you of mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [STATE/COUNTRY - e.g., the State of Delaware, USA], without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. This choice of law does not deprive consumers of mandatory protections of the law of their country of residence, including the law of Germany.

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the invalid provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

23.3 No Waiver

Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
