4. Content and Intellectual Property

4.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you upload to Abbs (photos, videos, text). By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, display, reproduce, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the App. This licence ends when you delete the content or when your account is permanently deleted, except to the limited extent retention is required by law or necessary to establish or defend legal claims.

4.2 Content Moderation

We use automated systems to moderate uploaded content and may review content or reports when investigating a potential violation. Content that violates our guidelines may be removed, and your account may be suspended or terminated. You acknowledge that moderation decisions are at our sole discretion.

4.3 Our Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, features, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Deep Connect Solutions GmbH and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the App without our prior written consent.

5. Premium Subscriptions

5.3 Auto-Renewal

5.4 Refunds

Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with its App Store refund policies. We do not process refunds directly. You can request an eligible refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com.

5.5 Free Trial

If a free trial is offered, it will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled beforehand.

6. Location Services

6.1 Abbs uses your device's GPS to determine your location. This is essential for showing you nearby users and displaying approximate distances.

6.2 Your location is shared with other users only as an approximate distance (e.g., "3 km away"), not as exact coordinates, unless you choose to share your city in your profile.

6.3 You can revoke location permissions through your device settings, but this will prevent the App from functioning as intended.

6.4 In addition to your current location, the App stores a history of your location updates for up to 90 days for service operation, security, troubleshooting, and improvement. After 90 days, location history entries are automatically and permanently deleted. For further details, see our Privacy Policy.

7. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference, explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By using Abbs, you agree to our Privacy Policy.

8. Blocking and Reporting

8.1 You can block other users to prevent them from seeing your profile, contacting you, or appearing in your discovery feed. Blocking is mutual and immediate.

8.2 You can report users who violate these Terms or engage in harmful behaviour. Reports are recorded and may be used to enforce these Terms.

8.3 We may take action including warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans based on the available information and the severity of the violation.

9. Disclaimers

9.1 The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9.2 We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

9.3 We do not conduct criminal background checks on users and cannot guarantee the identity, intentions, or behaviour of other users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users.

9.4 We are not responsible for any content posted by users. User-generated content does not reflect our views or opinions.

10. Limitation of Liability

10.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Deep Connect Solutions GmbH and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App.

10.2 Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty euros (EUR 50), whichever is greater.

10.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Deep Connect Solutions GmbH and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) any content you upload or share through the App.

12. Termination

12.1 You may delete your account at any time through the App (Settings > Account > Delete Account). Account deletion immediately deactivates the account and initiates a 30-day grace period. If you do not restore it during that period, the account and its associated content, conversations, messages, media, and other user-linked records are permanently deleted from our active systems, subject only to the limited legal, audit, and backup retention described in our Privacy Policy.

12.2 Deleting the App or your Abbs account does not cancel an active Apple subscription. You must manage or cancel the subscription separately through your Apple Account subscription settings.

12.3 We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in conduct that is harmful to other users or to us.

12.4 Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Sections 4, 9, 10, 11, and 14) will survive.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the App (for example, by requiring re-acceptance) and update the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the App and delete your account.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

14.1 These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

14.2 For EU consumers, mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence apply to the extent they provide greater protection.

14.3 Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts of Bremen, Germany, subject to mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules.

14.4 We are not obligated and are not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

15. Miscellaneous

15.1 Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the App.

15.2 Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

15.3 Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

15.4 Assignment: You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
