§ 4 General scope of services of Clatch
4.1. Clatch is designed to provide general information about menstrual and reproductive health and related topics.

These data allow statistical and algorithmic data processing that can show you patterns in your menstrual cycle or pregnancy.
4.2. Clatch is a self-management app. This means that Clatch's services are based on the data that you provide, so the information and analysis available in the app depends on the amount and accuracy of the inputs you choose to record.
4.3. Clatch is intended for use on iOS and Android mobile devices in the following app versions:
(a) Usage with an account (requiring registration): In this case, the data is stored both locally on your mobile phone and on our servers, so that the service can be used on multiple logged-in devices ( Clatch as an online service ). Further details regarding the registration process can be found in § 5 of these Terms.
(b) Usage without creating an account (without registration): In this case, the data is only stored locally on the memory of your mobile phone ( Clatch as a local service ) - this service is no longer available to new users.

The basic Clatch app can be acquired free of charge from the relevant app store (if you have an iPhone, the Apple App Store, or if you have an Android phone, the Google Play Store). In addition, you can purchase the Paid Services.

(b) from injury to life, body or health resulting from a breach of duty by us or one of our legal representatives or vicarious agents,
(c) in cases of liability under the German Product Liability Act, due to us having given a guarantee or due to fraudulent misrepresentation, and

9.1. In relation to the free Clatch service, you may terminate the contractual relationship with us at any time by deleting your account in accordance with the instructions in the app. If you are using Clatch without an account, you can terminate this contract by deleting the Clatch App from your mobile phone (remember to export your data first if you don't want to lose it). We too may terminate the contract at our sole discretion and without further notice, subject to the following provisions.

9.3. For technical and legal reasons, contractual relationships related to the use of Paid Services that were originally entered into via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store may need to be terminated via the respective app stores or in the app (e.g. using a feature provided by the respective app store).

9.4. The statutory right of both contracting parties to terminate the contract for good cause remains unaffected. Good cause for extraordinary termination of the contract is, for example, deemed to exist if the continuation of the contractual relationship until the end of the normal period of notice is unreasonable, given all circumstances of the individual case and the interests of the user. Good causes for us to exercise this right of termination include, in particular, if you breach applicable law, obligations under these Terms, or obligations under your contract with the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (or if your actions would cause us to breach our contracts with the Apple App Store or Google Play Store).

§ 10 Other provisions
10.1.

We therefore do not guarantee disruption-free operation or a specific level of availability. In particular, we may restrict access without providing reasons – in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently. In addition, no claims shall exist regarding the maintenance of individual functionalities of the Clatch App. We are entitled at any time to change or remove content, services and functionalities that are provided within the app and to make new content, services and functionalities available or to discontinue the Clatch App entirely; this includes paywalling all or certain services that were previously free of charge, as well as their partial or complete discontinuation.
10.2. We are entitled to transfer the rights and obligations arising under a contract to a third party. Should we wish to transfer the rights and obligations under these Terms, we will inform you in writing about the transfer; you are then entitled to terminate the contract.

10.3. Governing law: German law applies to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
10.4. Jurisdiction: To the extent permissible by law, all disputes arising under these Terms shall be heard in the courts of our registered place of business in Berlin, Germany. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are also entitled to sue you under these Terms in your place of domicile.

10.6. If individual provisions within these Terms are or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision whose effects come as close as possible to the economic objective which the contracting parties had pursued with the invalid or unenforceable provision. The above provisions shall also apply in the event that the provisions prove to be incomplete.
10.7. Clue is used by people with cycles around the world, who access the app in a multitude of different languages. We use professional translators and proofreaders to translate all of our communications, including these Terms, as accurately as possible into those languages. However, please understand that we cannot assure 100% accuracy for all of our translations, in particular with respect to any legal content.
