Terms of Use

1. Scope and conclusion of contract

These terms apply between you and the provider (Leon Achteresch) for the use of the app and its features.

You expressly accept these terms when registering. Before accepting, you can view, save and print them in full at https://vaultdex.de/nutzungsbedingungen; we do not store a separate copy of the contract text for you. The contract language is German.

Deviating terms of your own do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree to their application.

2. Description of services and VaultDex Pro

The app lets you capture, manage and value trading cards and sealed products, scan cards for recognition, view market prices from third-party sources, set price alerts and receive push notifications, use social features (profiles, friends, comparisons, stories), a map of card shops, and an in-app support chat. The core features of the app are provided free of charge.

In addition, we offer an optional paid subscription (“VaultDex Pro”) with extended features. Purchase, billing and management of the subscription are handled exclusively through the Apple App Store. The applicable price and billing period are shown to you in the app before purchase.

Your contracting party for the purchase is Apple; any statutory right of withdrawal therefore exists vis-à-vis Apple and can be exercised through your purchase history in the App Store. We are your contracting party for the provision and use of the app and its features.

The subscription renews automatically for the respective term unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period via the subscription management of your App Store account. Cancellation, restoring earlier purchases (“Restore”) and any refunds are governed by the App Store terms; refunds are handled by Apple, not by us.

Deleting your account does not automatically end an active store subscription. You must additionally cancel the subscription via the subscription management of your App Store account to avoid further charges.

Displayed prices are non-binding estimates from external sources and do not constitute offers to buy or sell, nor investment or valuation advice. Details are set out in the disclaimer.

3. Registration and account

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and ensuring that your information is accurate.

4. Minimum age

Use is permitted for persons aged 16 and above. Minors require the consent of their legal guardians.

5. User content and conduct rules

You remain responsible for the content you post (e.g. username, profile text, showcase, stories, shop photos and notes, support messages). A zero-tolerance policy applies to offensive, insulting, unlawful, or harassing content and behavior.

The following is prohibited in particular:

• posting unlawful, violence-glorifying, discriminatory, pornographic, or youth-endangering content;
• harassment, threats, or bullying of other users;
• infringement of third-party rights (copyright, trademark, personality rights);
• spam, fraud, impersonation, and automated mass access.

For your own content, you grant us a simple, revocable right to store it and display it to the intended recipients (e.g. your friends) within the operation of the app.

6. Reporting, blocking, and moderation

You can report offensive content and abusive behaviour directly in the app. You can also block other users so that their content is no longer visible to you and no further contact is possible.

We review reported content without undue delay, usually within 24 hours, and remove content that is unlawful or violates these terms; where necessary, we exclude the responsible users from the app. You can also send reports to info@vaultdex.de.

If we remove content or restrict an account, we inform the person concerned of the reasons (Art. 17 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). You may lodge a complaint against our decision informally at info@vaultdex.de within six months; we will review it again and inform you of the reasoned outcome. Recourse to the courts and to an out-of-court dispute settlement body under Art. 21 DSA remains unaffected.

7. Third-party rights and trademarks

"Pokémon" and related names, symbols, and card content are trademarks or copyrighted works of Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and GAME FREAK inc. The app is not affiliated with these companies and is neither sponsored, supported, nor endorsed by them. Trademark and card references are used solely for identification purposes.

8. Availability and changes

We strive for continuous availability of the app. For VaultDex Pro we aim for 99% availability on a monthly average. Excluded are periods of scheduled maintenance, which we announce where possible and schedule during off-peak times, as well as disruptions outside our sphere of responsibility (e.g. third-party outages, network or store failures, force majeure).

We may change or further develop the features of the app where there is a valid reason – such as a change in the legal situation, security requirements, technical development or the discontinuation of an external data source – provided the change involves no additional cost for you and is reasonable for you. If a change adversely affects your access to essential features of VaultDex Pro to more than a minor extent, we will inform you in text form at least 30 days in advance; in that case you may terminate the subscription free of charge within 30 days of receiving the information or of the change (Section 327r German Civil Code).

We will offer you changes to these terms in text form (e.g. by email or in-app message) at least six weeks before they are intended to take effect, pointing out the provisions concerned. Changes only become effective if you agree to them. If you do not agree, the previous terms continue to apply; if continuing them is unreasonable for us, we may terminate the user relationship with ordinary notice as of the intended effective date – an active subscription then ends at the end of the period already paid for.

9. Rights in case of defects and updates

The statutory provisions on contracts for digital products (Sections 327 et seq. German Civil Code) apply to VaultDex Pro and – to the extent that you provide us with personal data – also to the features provided free of charge. Your statutory rights in case of defects remain unaffected and are not restricted by these terms.

During the supply period we provide the updates that are necessary to keep the app in conformity with the contract, including security updates, and inform you about them (Section 327f German Civil Code). If you fail to install a provided update within a reasonable period despite having been informed, we are not liable for defects that result solely from the missing update.

If the app is defective, you may demand subsequent performance and, subject to the statutory requirements, terminate the contract or – in the case of a paid subscription – reduce the price. Please report defects to info@vaultdex.de or via the in-app support chat.

10. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, for fraudulently concealed defects, within the scope of a guarantee assumed by us, and under the German Product Liability Act.

In cases of ordinary negligence we are liable only for the breach of material contractual obligations – i.e. obligations whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely – and limited in amount to the damage foreseeable and typical for this type of contract at the time the contract was concluded. Any further liability is excluded.

These liability provisions also apply for the benefit of our legal representatives and vicarious agents. Your rights in case of defects under Section 9 and mandatory statutory liability remain unaffected.

Displayed prices originate from external sources and are non-binding estimates; results of the card recognition may be inaccurate. We do not owe any particular accuracy or timeliness of this information; the liability provisions above remain unaffected. Details are set out in the disclaimer.

11. Termination, suspension and account deletion

You can delete your account at any time in the settings. You must additionally cancel an active store subscription via your App Store (Section 2).

If you breach these terms, we may – graduated according to the severity, intent and repetition of the breach – remove content, restrict individual features, temporarily suspend the account or terminate the user relationship. Before a suspension or termination we will warn you and give you the opportunity to comment, unless this is unreasonable due to a serious breach (e.g. criminal content, substantial danger to other users or to system security). We will inform you of the reasons; the complaint procedure under Section 6 applies.

If we terminate or suspend the user relationship for reasons you are not responsible for, we will refund the portion of an already paid subscription attributable to the remaining term. The right of both parties to terminate for good cause and your statutory rights remain unaffected.

12. Additional terms for Apple App Store

If you obtain the app via the Apple App Store, the following additionally applies: These terms exist only between you and the provider, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content and provides no warranty; any warranty, support, and product liability claims are directed against the provider. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. If any provision is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
