Terms and Conditions
1. Subject Matter and Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") apply to all services offered by app-concept.com GmbH (hereinafter "app-concept.com") for the mobile application "Pitch2Match" (hereinafter "App"). The App is available for Android on the Google Play Store and for iOS on the App Store.
App-concept.com and the contracting party undertake to provide the services agreed upon in the contract through the use of the App in accordance with these GTC. The App is provided to the user free of charge. Our GTC apply exclusively. We do not recognize any conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of our contracting parties unless we have expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
These terms and conditions also apply to all future business transactions with contracting parties, insofar as they are related legal transactions.
2. Conclusion of Contract and Term
A contract for the use of the App is concluded between the user and the App operator upon downloading and installing the App. The contract period begins upon creation of a user account and a personal profile. Activating a user account and creating a profile requires explicit acceptance of our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Our service is free for users. The user account remains active for four weeks, or until the user deactivates or deletes their personal profile. The user reserves this right at any time.
3. Description of the service
The contract obliges app-concept.com to publish the created profile via the app. User accounts are created either by registering with a first name, last name, email address, and password, which are stored in our database, or by logging in with a Google or Apple ID. Once these accounts have been set up in accordance with Section 2 of the Terms and Conditions, they will be made available online immediately, but no later than within 24 hours.
Users have the option of adding additional personal information to their Pitch2Match profile, which will also be stored in our database. The profile to be published should accurately reflect the user's interests in order to enable successful matches with other users based on common interests. Users can optionally save their resume, occupation, and other personal information. The operators of the app are not liable for unauthorized content with the consequences described in Section 5 of the Terms and Conditions.
When the app suggests matches, these matches only see the unique anonymous profile number, a self-created “about me” description, and the user's interests. This information is used to compare profiles via the app. If Pitch2Match's analysis finds a sufficient match between the profiles, the application presents these potential matches to the user. The user can accept or ignore these by clicking or swiping and must make a decision before they can see further matches with other users. This feature was developed to ensure the necessary interaction. Further information from the user's personal profile, such as their resume, profession, company name, and length of employment, can only be viewed by other users once the user actively removes the anonymity of their profile.
Each user's profile remains anonymous and can only be made visible by the user themselves, at their own discretion, after a match has been created. When a match is accepted, Pitch2Match sends the profile of the still anonymous user via an internal messenger to the user with completely or partially matching interests. The other user also sees the anonymous profile based on the matching interests. If the match is accepted, a chat between the two users is initiated. The user can only see further matches after they have decided whether to accept or reject the match by clicking or swiping.
If users wish, they can optionally store their address data in their profile. This is intended to make it easier to find other users at a common meeting point. Users have the option of agreeing to the transmission of their GPS coordinates or rejecting this function in their smartphone settings. If they agree, the GPS data will be used exclusively to automatically fill in the address field in their profile. Users can also enter their address manually. If GPS transmission is rejected, the address can only be entered manually during registration or profile update.
App-concept.com is not responsible for the accuracy of the data entered in the profiles and is not obliged to maintain or return it. This service description is not exhaustive and is regularly expanded to include additional functions.
4. Basic principles of cooperation
App-concept.com reserves the right not to execute orders from the contractual partner or to remove profiles that have already been published if the content violates legal regulations, official prohibitions, third-party rights, public decency, or the terms and conditions of app-concept.com.
5. Intellectual property rights
This contract does not transfer any ownership, usage, license, or other rights to the software to the users of the app. All rights to the software, including trademarks, titles, copyrights, and other property rights of app-concept.com, remain entirely with app-concept.com.
All work results and information published by app-concept.com are protected by copyright as the property of app-concept.com. Users of the app or third parties acting on behalf of app-concept.com grant app-concept.com a free, non-exclusive right of use to the texts and images provided, limited to the duration of the contract.
By publishing their profile, users of the app confirm that they have all the necessary rights of use, copyright, ancillary copyright, and other rights required for the publication of their data, or that they are free to dispose of them.
6. Warranty, material defects
App-concept.com warrants that the user profiles published via the app are implemented in accordance with the usual technical standards.
Claims for defects are excluded, as the app only processes data that has been entered and authorized by companies and users.
7. Liability
App-concept.com is only liable for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence, limited to the breach of essential contractual obligations, whereby compensation is limited to the foreseeable, typical damage.
App-concept.com is not liable for accidental data loss or damage and recommends that users back up their data.
App-concept.com does not guarantee the error-free operation and accuracy of user profiles and is not liable for the content posted by users. Responsibility for all interactions or exchanges resulting from matches made through the app, including personal meetings, lies solely with the users.
8. Data protection
By publishing profiles, mutual compliance with all applicable data protection laws is agreed. Users of the app are hereby informed in accordance with the Data Protection Act that app-concept.com stores their data in machine-readable form and processes it automatically for the intended purpose. The app-concept.com privacy policy is available under Data Protection.
9. Final provisions
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to this contract and its interpretation. If the user is a merchant within the meaning of § 1 (1) HGB (German Commercial Code), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the courts at the registered office of app-concept.com GmbH shall have exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the contract. In all other cases, both app-concept.com and the customer may bring an action before any court having jurisdiction under the statutory provisions.
Access to the agreed services is limited to the agreed quotas or the duration of the contract.
App-concept.com strives to continuously develop the app with the aim of achieving the best possible result for all contractual partners. App-concept.com reserves the right to modify or change the app at any time at its own discretion.
10. Severability clause
Should parts of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Instead, the invalid provision shall be replaced by a formulation that corresponds to the intended purpose of app-concept.com GmbH.
