General Terms and Conditions

2.1 Basic use of the app for private users is free of charge. Users can create profiles, log catches, interact with others, and purchase digital permits (day/guest tickets) for connected waters.

2.2 Clubs acquire paid usage licenses to use the app as management and distribution software for their members. No direct paid contract for software usage is established between the Provider and individual club members; licensing is handled through the club.

2.3 Users are required to provide truthful information during registration. Identity fraud or uploading forged documents (e.g. fishing license) will result in immediate suspension.

2.4 Users must comply with the water and catch rules configured by clubs (including closed seasons, size and weight limits, and catch limits). If a configured catch limit is exceeded, a documented rule violation is recorded, or authorized club administrators review a reported security violation, the Provider may disclose the user's name and - where available - postal address from the buyer profile to the respective club for enforcing club and water rules and for communicating with fisheries authorities. Details are set out in the privacy policy.

3.1 SaaS and test phase: Digital acceptance of the SaaS contract (onboarding or admin dashboard) starts the test phase. The test phase runs until the club decides on continued use, at the latest until the club's next annual general meeting (AGM). The club must provide the date of the next relevant AGM and keep it up to date.

3.2 Hold: If the club makes no decision within 30 days after that AGM, use is placed on hold (access suspended or blocked) until a decision is made or the contract ends. Hold alone is not a termination.

3.3 Commitment and 30-day money-back: With the club's commitment (continued use and acceptance of the remuneration terms), the test phase ends; from then the proper contract start applies. Within 30 days of that commitment the club may withdraw without stating reasons (email to [email protected] is sufficient). Payments made for usage packages/fees are refunded. Without commitment there is no money-back entitlement. The 30-day period after the AGM (hold) is not the money-back period.

3.4 Term after commitment: The initial term ends on 31 December of the calendar year of the commitment and renews for successive 12-month periods unless terminated with four (4) weeks' notice before year-end (31 December) in text form (e.g. by email).

3.5 Usage packages and prices: Billing is via usage packages of 50 member seats each. During the test phase, up to 50 seats are free of charge. In billing years 2026 and 2027, more than 50 seats triggers a payment obligation with a freely chosen positive amount (pay-as-you-want); €0 above 50 seats is not permitted. From 2028, fixed cohort prices and cost caps apply as set out in the digitally accepted SaaS contract or dashboard.

3.6 The club is obliged to provide all provider, tax, register, and payment data required for tax reporting obligations under PStTG/DAC7 completely, accurately, and up to date. Changes must be updated without undue delay in the admin dashboard or communicated to the Provider.

3.7 Trust basis and naming: Clubs may only use club and water names on the platform for which they actually hold the rights (in particular ownership, lease, or other usage rights). Cooperation is based on truthful information. A breach constitutes a material breach of contract and may result in exclusion from the platform and extraordinary termination of the contract.

4.1 Registered users can purchase digital permits (day or guest tickets) from participating clubs within the app.

4.2 Prerequisites: Purchasing digital guest tickets requires an approved fishing license and a complete buyer profile (display name, date of birth, and postal address).

4.3 Chargebacks and refunds: Chargebacks via the payment service provider Mollie as well as refunds by the selling club or the Provider may be processed in accordance with the applicable payment terms and platform rules. This does not automatically create an entitlement to a refund beyond the cases regulated in these terms.

4.4 Digital wallet passes (Apple Wallet / Google Wallet) may optionally be provided after purchase. There is no entitlement to the provision of wallet passes.

4.5 Cancellation and refund: A voluntary cancellation and refund of the purchase price by us is possible up to 24 hours before the official start of the guest ticket's validity.

4.6 Refund exclusion: Once the validity period of the ticket has begun or the ticket has been used in any way within the app (e.g. fishing day started, catches logged), any refund is excluded.

4.7 Note on statutory right of withdrawal for consumers: The right of withdrawal for digital content and services expires prematurely if we have begun executing the contract (providing the valid digital guest ticket) after you have expressly agreed that we begin execution before the expiry of the withdrawal period and you have confirmed your awareness that by giving your consent you lose your right of withdrawal upon commencement of execution.

4.8 Security system and bans: Verified rule violations may be visible to other clubs in the platform network. Clubs may reject anglers with violations, require purchase approval, or impose club-specific bans. Reaching platform thresholds (weighted violations within two years) may result in a platform-wide ban. Affected guest tickets become invalid upon a ban; there is no entitlement to a refund in these cases. Details are set out in the privacy policy.

4a.1 Fisheries wardens may report violations at the water in the app. Authorized club administrators are notified of new reports by email and, where enabled, push notification, and review the report (verify or reject).

4a.2 Verified violations are shared with all participating clubs so inspections and guest ticket sales can be risk-based.

4a.3 Users are informed of club-specific and platform-wide bans by email.

4b.1 The app may provide selected features without an active internet connection (in particular display of cached water/map information, local fishing days and catch reports, and offline inspections using time-limited digital grants). Scope depends on data previously cached online and on the technical capabilities of the device.

4b.2 Operations recorded offline (e.g. fishing days, catches, warden reports) are synchronized with the Provider's servers when connectivity is restored. Until successful synchronization, local entries are provisional. Conflicts, failed sync, or device loss may cause delays or data loss.

4b.3 Offline inspection grants (QR/grant data) and inspection data for guest tickets cached on warden devices (lookup by guest ticket code, including physical ticket or wallet QR) are usable only within their technical validity, from at most 24 hours before start (valid_from) until at most 24 hours after the ticket validity period ends (valid_until), and only by authorized fisheries wardens. They do not replace official inspections and do not create an entitlement to any particular offline availability, completeness, or currency.

4b.4 The Provider does not owe uninterrupted offline functionality. Offline use is provided within technical limits; no warranty is given for completeness, currency of cached regulations, or continuous sync capability.

5.1 Users can upload their own content within the app (e.g. catch photos, forum posts, profile pictures, comments). The user grants the Provider a simple, spatially and temporally unlimited right to display this content within the app.

5.2 It is strictly prohibited to publish illegal, pornographic, sexually explicit (NSFW), offensive, racist, or otherwise objectionable content.

5.3 The Provider expressly reserves the right to delete content at any time, without prior notice and at its own discretion, and to temporarily or permanently suspend corresponding user accounts in the event of violations. Users can report inappropriate content via an in-app function. Content reports may be reviewed and processed by staff of JetztAngeln UG (platform moderation).

6.1 The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health.

6.2 For slight negligence, the Provider is only liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

6.3 Disclaimer for third-party and user content: The Provider assumes no liability for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information provided by clubs or users. This applies in particular, but not exclusively, to:

• Documents uploaded by users (e.g. validity of fishing licenses)
• Water boundaries, closed seasons, minimum sizes, or catch limits set by clubs
• Provided addresses and phone numbers
• Fraud attempts by users among themselves or against the club
• Currency and completeness of locally cached offline data as well as delayed or failed synchronization

8.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as it does not deprive mandatory legal provisions of the state in which the consumer is domiciled.

8.2 If the customer is a merchant (club as a legal entity), the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Göttingen.

8.3 If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
