Futuro Farming GmbH
Franz-Mayer-Str. 1,
93053 Regensburg
Germany
Represented by the management: Mr. Alexander Zacharuk Mr. Daniel Kotter Mr. Jens Eckberg +49 (0) 941 46297790 info@futurofarming.com The above information also represents the fulfillment of the information requirements according to § 5 TMG.
2 Scope of application and order of precedence
The Licensor shall publish mobile applications (“Apps”) on platforms for mobile applications (“App Stores”) exclusively under the following conditions, irrespective of the obligation to pay a fee, the end device type, operating system, language, place of use or the context of use. The publication free of charge or the possibility of subscription does not release the user from the payment of fees, insofar as there is an obligation to pay on the basis of other agreements with the licensor. The use of the apps is – subject to deviating or supplementary regulations in individual cases – dependent on the acceptance of the following conditions (“License Conditions”). These terms and conditions govern the legal relationship between the user of the contractual software (“Licensee”) and the Licensor (collectively: “The Parties”). Insofar as the Parties have made other agreements regarding the use of mobile applications, these shall take precedence over the following provisions.
3 Conclusion of the agreement
This agreement is concluded by the Licensee’s acceptance after installation and before commencement of use of the App. It is concluded for an indefinite period, subject to deviating provisions in other agreements between the parties. If the Licensee does not agree with the following terms and conditions, he/she must refrain from using the App. The terms and conditions shall also apply to future updates or new versions of the software, unless otherwise agreed.
4 Changes of the license conditions
The Licensor may amend the License Terms at any time and shall notify the Licensee of the amendment to the License Terms by means of a corresponding insertion following a change to the License Terms, in the event of updates or a version change. Alternatively, the Licensor may notify the Licensee of a change in the terms and conditions of the License in a suitable manner (usually in text form) at least one month before the change comes into effect. Within the scope of this notice, the Licensor shall make special reference to the changes to the terms and conditions of use and to the possibility of objection and termination, the deadlines and the legal consequences, in particular with regard to a failure to object. The Licensee has the right to object to changes within one month after publication and possibility of knowledge to the Licensor. In the event of a timely objection, both parties shall be entitled to terminate the user agreement extraordinarily. If the adjustment is reasonable, the Licensee shall remain obligated to pay the agreed fee despite its termination. Other rights of termination shall remain unaffected. If the Licensee does not object within the objection period or continues to use the services thereafter, the change or amendment shall be deemed accepted. These License Terms may be viewed and printed out or stored on a permanent data carrier at any time, but in particular prior to downloading the App by the Licensee via the Licensor’s website or in the respective App store.
5 Age limit
The use of the software is only permitted to persons over the age of 16. Until the age of 18, the permission of a parent or guardian is required to use the app and to agree to the terms of use. By using the app, the licensee affirms that he or she is of age and legally competent. If the Licensee is a minor, he/she assures the existence of the consent of his/her legal guardian by using the App. The Licensor is entitled, but not obligated, at any time to request written proof of the Licensee’s age of majority or the declaration of consent of the Licensee’s legal representative.
6 Granting of rights of use (license)
6.1 General terms of use To use the Apps, the download and installation of the app from the App Store is required. This requires registration in the respective App Store. The operators of the app stores usually make registration dependent on acceptance of the respective terms of use. The Licensor grants the Licensee a simple, personally limited, non-transferable, temporally unlimited, geographically limited to the target market of the App Store, revocable right to use the App. The right of use extends to all mobile devices linked to the respective App Store account. Additional terms of use or restrictions may result from the end user conditions of the respective app store through which the software is offered. 6.2 Open source software The Licensor’s apps contain open source software. This involves software libraries or program components (“Libraries”) that were developed by third parties and are used by the Licensor by virtue of a grant of rights of use by the developer. These grants of rights of use (licenses) require certain specifications in these license conditions. The following conditions do not affect the liability of the Licensor. 6.3 List of open source program components The open source software used by the licensor is shown in the table below:
6.4 MIT License Where “MIT” is shown in the above table, the following license text applies. The information <YEAR> and <COPYRIGHT HOLDER> are also to be taken from the above table.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
7 Technical requirements / updates
The Licensee is solely responsible for fulfilling the technical requirements for use. In order to use the software, the Licensee requires a terminal device that meets the applicable system and compatibility requirements for the corresponding version of the software. The Licensor provides system requirements and compatibility information to the best of its knowledge. Due to the large number of conceivable combinations of end devices, operating systems, network operators and hardware components, it is not possible for the Licensor to check and ensure the operability of the App in all constellations. The App can automatically download and install software updates to eliminate any program errors (so-called patches or bug fixes). The functionality and the scope of services are usually not changed by such updates.
8 Data protection
The privacy policy for the use of mobile applications of the Licensor is available within the application under the menu item “Privacy” or on the website of the Licensor.
9 Notifications
The Licensor may also send notifications to the Licensee by means of electronic communication services (e.g. push messages, e-mail, SMS) as part of the execution of the Application. These may contain general information (e.g. about available updates) as well as user-specific messages (e.g. warnings, reminders, recommendations). The licensee can freely configure the display of messages via the operating system of its end device.
10 Warranty and liability
The Licensor points out that its Apps are generally state of the art, but that absolute freedom from errors cannot be guaranteed. The Licensor is generally interested in providing an App that is as error-free as possible. The Licensor may provide a workaround in individual cases – even for a longer but reasonable period of time. A defect shall only be deemed to exist if an error in the software no longer allows it to be used as intended. In the case of free Apps, the Licensor shall not assume any warranty for the proper functioning and permanent availability of the application. Any liability for damages on the part of the Licensor and its bodies, employees and vicarious agents arising from or in connection with the provision of free apps, irrespective of the legal grounds, shall be limited, to the extent permitted by law, to cases of intent or gross negligence. In the case of paid Apps as well as App functionalities that are offered and/or advertised as a product feature in connection with hardware products distributed by the Licensor or its partners, the statutory warranty provisions shall apply. Decisive is always the intended use. Liability for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health and from the breach of essential contractual obligations shall not be limited, nor shall liability in accordance with the Product Liability Act. In all other respects the Licensor shall only be liable in cases of gross negligence and intent and in other cases only for damage typical of the contract to a foreseeable extent. The above provisions do not imply any change in mandatory statutory rules on the burden of proof to the detriment of the Licensee.
11 Service level agreement
Unless otherwise provided for in other agreements with the Licensee, the Licensor guarantees availability of online functions of the App outside a maintenance window between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. CET for chargeable functions. Within the aforementioned time frame, the guaranteed availability is 95% on an annual average. Times during which the servers are unavailable due to causes beyond the control of the Licensor shall be disregarded if the causes of the unavailability are beyond the control of the Licensor (e.g. force majeure, fault of third parties, etc.). The Licensor may restrict online functions if the security of system operation, the maintenance of system integrity, and in particular the avoidance of serious disruptions to the overall system or network so require; these times shall also not be taken into account in the calculation of the guaranteed accessibility. The provisions of the above liability provisions shall remain unaffected.
12 Final provisions
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Should individual provisions of these terms of use be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The English language version is for information only. Only the German version is legally binding. Jurisdiction: Regensburg, Germany
