hereinafter referred to as VPS.
2.1 The App provided by VPS is intended exclusively for consumers. Commercial use of the App is not permitted. Use of the App is permitted for entertainment purposes only.
2.2 Only persons who have reached the age of 18 or whose legal representatives have consented to the use are entitled to use.
2.3 By using the App, the User confirms that he/she is of legal age and capacity. If the User is a minor, he/she affirms the existence of the consent of his/her legal representative. VPS has the right, but not the obligation, to request written proof of the User's age of majority or the consent of his/her legal representative at any time.
2.4 As soon as a minor user uses the app beyond the age of majority, all contracts concluded in connection with this account before the user reaches the age of majority are deemed to have been approved, unless the user objects to the approval to VPS within two weeks of reaching the age of majority.
3.1 These Terms and Conditions may be viewed in the App Store and printed or saved on a durable medium before the User downloads the App.
3.2 VPS offers the App for Android devices via the Google Play Store (hereinafter referred to as the App Store). Therefore, it is necessary to create an account in the App Store. Afterwards, the download and installation of the app in the App Store is possible. By downloading, a contract for the free use of the app is concluded between the user and VPS. The corresponding licence and usage agreement based on these GTC is concluded for an indefinite period of time.
3.3 Both parties are entitled to an ordinary right of termination at any time with a notice period of two weeks, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3.4 In the event of ordinary termination by the user or termination by VPS for good cause, no refund of fees paid will be made. However, VPS is entitled to continue to charge any outstanding fees for Premium Content already purchased.
3.5 In addition to the free use of our app, VPS offers additional paid content (hereinafter referred to as premium content). Such in-app purchases are processed via the App Store. For the purchase and use of such Premium Content, section 4 of these GTC and the terms and conditions of the App Store shall apply additionally.
4.1 The purchase of Premium Content is voluntary and does not restrict other use of the App. VPS will separately inform Users of the respective features of the in-app purchases prior to their purchase in the App.
4.2 The contract for additional premium content is only concluded when the user clicks on the "Buy Now" button in the shop area (the exact marking may vary depending on the App Store for purchases within the App). The contract is then accepted by VPS (or on its behalf by the respective App Store Service Provider) by sending an order confirmation email or by the actual provision of the corresponding Premium Content. Payment is made in advance when purchasing Premium Content.
4.3 A refund after the purchase of Premium Content can only be made to the extent of the consumer's statutory rights or the statutory right of withdrawal, subject to the relevant exclusions.
4.4 The prices for Premium Content displayed in the App Store and communicated in the order confirmation for the respective order shall apply in each case. They may vary depending on currency and country. The prices include the applicable statutory value added tax. Payment is made via the corresponding App Store. The terms of use and payment of the App Store as well as these GTC apply. In the event of a conflict between the App Store terms of use and payment and these GTC, the App Store terms of use and payment shall take precedence.
4.5 You are liable for all cancellations or chargebacks, e.g. due to insufficient funds in your account. The user is liable for costs that regularly arise as a result. VPS is entitled to collect these costs together with the original charge from the user's means of payment. In doing so, the user reserves the right to prove that no damage to the extent claimed has occurred.
4.6 In the event of a delay in payment by the user, VPS is entitled to block access to the app and to charge a statutory interest on arrears for the delayed payment, irrespective of the continuing payment obligation.
4.7 VPS may offer new Premium Content, modify existing Premium Content and discontinue Premium Content. Any Premium Content (virtual items) already purchased and removed from the app may continue to be used or replaced by new Premium Content during the transition period. Any further claims by the user are excluded.
4.8 All claims of the User in relation to Premium Content, in particular copyright, liability for defects and damages, are to be asserted against VPS (and not against the App Store).
You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, other than the carrier, has taken possession of the goods.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Valley Path Software UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Tannenweg 4, 54426 Malborn; e-mail: revocation@valley-path.de; telephone: +49 176 47689097) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model cancellation form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to send the notice of exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.
If you withdraw from this contract, we must repay you all payments that we have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged for this repayment. We may refuse repayment until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier. You must return or hand over the goods to us in any case no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling the goods in a way that is not necessary for checking the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.
End of the cancellation policy.
Your right of withdrawal shall expire prematurely if we have commenced performance of the contract prior to the expiry of the withdrawal period after you, as the user, have given your explicit consent to this and have confirmed your knowledge that, by giving your consent, you lose your right of withdrawal upon commencement of performance of the contract.

VPS is not obliged to respond to the feedback or to use or utilise it. The user waives all possible copyright claims in relation to the possible use and exploitation of the Feedback.
