Terms and Conditions of the App

These terms and conditions are machine-translated and not legally binding.

General information

The IO Propagator Unternehmergesellschaft (haftungsbeschränkt) (hereinafter “provider”) provides the Vacuna apps on Android and iOS (hereinafter “Vacuna” or “app”) to you, the user, based on the Terms of Use described below. Download, installation and use of the Vacuna Apps, as well as the content and services offered therein, are only permitted on the basis of these Terms of Use.

Translations of the German version of the terms and conditions serve to facilitate access to information. These translations are not legally binding; only the German version of the terms and conditions is legally valid.

Nature and scope of service

Vacuna is a health app for digitizing your vaccination card and for creating non-binding vaccination recommendations and reminders. For the time being, we explicitly do not offer any medical services, diagnoses or therapies of our own with Vacuna. Thus, the use of Vacuna cannot replace a traditional doctor's visit.

The range of services is generally available 24 hours a day. This does not include the times required to maintain the app and/or the servers, or to install security and software updates.

Access to the App is dependent on the technical conditions of the Internet. A permanent accessibility and retrievability can therefore not be guaranteed.

The use of the app is generally free of charge. However, a fee may be charged for certain functions or services. This will be displayed to the user before the corresponding function or service is used.

It is possible to enter promo codes in order to receive discounts or benefits. These promo codes may be limited to a certain number of redemptions and will lose their effectiveness after expiration. The provider reserves the right to change or revoke promo codes at any time and without prior notice. The user is not entitled to redemption of invalid, disabled or deleted promo codes. The submission of promo codes is intended for the personal use of the user only. Passing on the promo codes to third parties is not permitted. In case of unauthorized submission of the promo code, the provider reserves the right to cancel the obtained benefits and advantages.

Registration and requirements

With the registration of a user account in the app, a usage agreement is concluded between the user and the provider in accordance with these terms of use.

There is no legal claim to the use of the services of the provider. The provider is entitled to refuse registration without giving reasons.

The prerequisite for the proper use of the app is a mobile device that meets the technical requirements and an Internet data connection.

Obligations of the user

The user may only use the service offer of the provider appropriately. The user must keep the access data for using the app secret.

The user is obliged to provide all information required for the provision of the services correctly, comprehensively and truthfully.

The user is obliged to anonymize the vaccination records before requesting the automated digitization. To this end, the user removes the cover sheet of the vaccination certificate and all personal data that is not required for the digital recording of vaccination entries. The date of the vaccination and the vaccine or vaccination are required for digitization. The user is responsible for ensuring that the vaccination records provided are anonymized. We are not liable for any data protection violations resulting from the non-anonymization or incorrect anonymization of the user.

Information obligations.

The EU Commission provides an online platform (ODR platform) for the settlement of disputes between entrepreneurs and consumers. The ODR platform can be accessed at: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Blocking of access and termination

The provider reserves the right, in the event of suspicion of improper use or material breach of contract, to investigate these occurrences, to take appropriate precautions and, in the event of justified suspicion, to block the User's access. If the suspicion can be dispelled, the blocking will be lifted again, otherwise the provider is entitled to an extraordinary right of termination.

The user may terminate the contract, unless otherwise agreed, for example as part of a paid service package, at any time by deleting the user account.

Rights of use

The App and the content and services provided therein are works protected by copyright and/or other proprietary rights and are owned by the provider.

The usage rights granted are limited solely to the provision and use of the App and the content and services offered therein within the scope of and in accordance with the provisions of these Terms of Use.

To this extent, the provider grants the User, for the duration of the contractual use of the App, the non-transferable right to use the App and the content and services offered therein on the User's mobile device for the User's own, non-commercial purposes.

Except as expressly permitted in these Terms of Use, the content and services offered in the App may only be accessed and displayed on the User's mobile device. Any use for or in connection with commercial purposes is prohibited.

Data privacy and protection

The provider collects and uses the specified data of the user for the processing of contracts concluded between the user and the provider. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Warranty and Liability

The provider has the right at any time to make changes to the app and the content and services offered therein, to develop them further or to discontinue them in whole or in part. Users have no right to use the content and/or services.

The provider does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, suitability or timeliness of the content and services offered.

Changes

The provider has the right to change the terms and conditions at any time with effect for the future.

An intended change will be communicated by e-mail to the users who have registered. The respective amendment shall become effective unless the user objects within two weeks after the e-mail has been sent. The timely sending of the objection shall be decisive for compliance with the two-week period.

If the user objects to the change within the two-week period, the provider is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship as a whole extraordinarily without notice, without the user incurring any claims against the provider as a result.

Final Provisions

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In this case, the parties shall cooperate to replace invalid provisions with such provisions that correspond to the invalid provisions as far as possible.
