These Terms of Service govern your use of the Advent App applications for iOS and Android, and the website at advent-app.com (together: "the Service"), operated by Pintumo UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Max-Beer-Str. 27, 10119 Berlin, Germany ("Pintumo UG", "we", "us"). By installing the app or using the website you agree to these Terms.
These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you as a user and Pintumo UG. The apps are distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The respective platform terms (Apple Media Services Terms, Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement, Google Play Terms of Service, Google Payments Terms) apply in parallel and prevail in their respective domains in case of conflict.
The Service lets you create, give and receive personalised 24-door digital Advent calendars. You can fill doors with photos, videos, GIFs, YouTube links and text messages, and share a calendar with recipients via a link. Recipients receive the link out of the Service and open the calendar either on the web or inside an app.
You may use the Service only if you are at least 16 years old, or if a parent or legal guardian has given consent in accordance with Art. 8 GDPR and § 8 BDSG. The Service is not directed at children under 16.
You retain all rights to the content you upload, publish or share through the Service ("Your Content"). By publishing Your Content, you grant Pintumo UG a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process and transmit Your Content solely to the extent necessary to operate the Service and deliver it to the recipients you choose.
You are responsible for Your Content and warrant that you own the necessary rights to it and that it does not infringe any third party's rights or applicable law.
You agree not to:
Downloading and using the apps is free of charge. Creating and receiving calendars is free. A one-time in-app purchase ("No Ads") can be used to send a calendar without advertisements. Payments are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Billing); Pintumo UG never sees your payment method details.
As a consumer within the EU, you normally have a 14-day right to withdraw from distance contracts for digital content (§§ 312g, 355 BGB).
By purchasing the "No Ads" option and confirming that you want us to begin performance immediately, you expressly consent under § 356 (5) BGB to immediate execution and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal lapses once we have begun to provide the digital content. Your statutory rights for defective digital content under §§ 327 ff. BGB (implementing EU Directive 2019/770) remain unaffected.
The Service embeds or links to content and services provided by third parties, including YouTube, Giphy, Google Mobile Ads (AdMob), Apple Inc., Google LLC, and Amazon Web Services. Your use of these services is additionally subject to their respective terms.
We strive to keep the Service available but do not guarantee continuous, error-free operation. We may modify, suspend or discontinue features for legitimate reasons. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access where you breach these Terms or applicable law.
Pintumo UG is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health caused by intentional or negligent breach of duty, and in cases of intent and gross negligence. For ordinary negligence we are liable only where we breach a material contractual obligation, and our liability in such cases is limited to damages that are foreseeable and typical for the type of contract. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
If a paid feature of the Service is defective, the statutory warranty rights under §§ 327d ff. BGB apply (implementing EU Directive 2019/770). You can request the defect to be cured; if cure fails or is unreasonable, you may claim a reduction of the price or terminate the contract.
Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the EU member state where you have your habitual residence still apply. For users who are not consumers, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany. Consumers can sue and be sued at their place of residence as well.
The European Commission operates an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Pintumo UG is not obliged and not willing to take part in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer arbitration board within the meaning of § 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).
We may amend these Terms for valid reasons. Material changes are announced in-app and on the website at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
