Terms of use – Schlagwerk
Version: 2026-11-10
Scope and contact
These terms govern Schlagwerk, an app for recording pigeons, pedigrees, breeding pairs, clutches, exhibitions and sale records. Contact: schlag_werk@gmx.de. No user account is required. By accepting these terms you agree to the use described here. The privacy policy explains processing separately.
Free plan and annual subscription
The free plan allows up to 20 active pigeons, 3 non-deleted breeding pairs and 3 exhibitions. Pair and exhibition limits apply across all breeding years and include inactive pairs. Archived sold or deleted birds do not count towards the active-pigeon limit; deleted pairs do not count towards the pair limit. An active Schlagwerk Plus annual subscription removes these three limits. The binding local price, currency, taxes and billing period are shown by the store before purchase. Clutches and results within an existing exhibition are not separate exhibition purchases.
Payment, renewal and cancellation
Purchases take place through Apple App Store or Google Play, not by payment to the operator within the app. The annual subscription automatically renews for another year unless cancelled in the store account in time; on Apple, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Cancellation stops renewal and access continues until the paid period ends, subject to store rules and refunds. Restore an eligible subscription using the same store account. An active store subscription is required; exporting local data does not create a purchase entitlement. Deleting or uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription.
Records after expiry and existing data
When Plus expires, existing records remain available for viewing, editing and export; records are not automatically deleted. Further entries may require Plus if the relevant free limit would be exceeded. The app requires your legal acknowledgement before normal use. There is no advertising or optional camera/location consent requirement to obtain paid access.
Local data and backup
Records are stored locally without operator-provided cloud backup or cross-device sync. You are responsible for exporting important records and keeping backups secure. App-data loss, removal or device changes can lead to loss of records. A JSON export does not guarantee an automated import. Photos, exports, device backups and copies shared with others must be managed separately. A bird moved to the archive remains part of historical pedigrees and results.
Accuracy and appropriate use
You are responsible for the accuracy of entered ring numbers, sex, parentage, breeding years and results. Hatch dates and statistics depend on your entries and are planning aids, not veterinary advice or a guarantee of hatching or breeding success. Follow animal-welfare requirements and seek veterinary care where appropriate. Record or share information and photographs concerning other people only where permitted. Do not use the app for unlawful content or infringe others’ rights.
Rights and service availability
You receive the right to use the app for its intended functions under the applicable app-store licence. The provider retains rights in the app and branding; your own recorded content remains yours. Device features, network availability and third-party store services can affect functions. Legally required conformity and security obligations remain unaffected. Changes must respect purchased rights and applicable consumer law.
Consumer rights and liability
Mandatory consumer rights, including statutory conformity, warranty and any applicable withdrawal rights, remain unaffected. Refund requests can be made through the relevant store’s procedure, without restricting statutory claims against the responsible party. These terms do not exclude mandatory liability, particularly for intent, gross negligence or injury to life, body or health. No term limits rights that cannot legally be limited.
Changes and contact
Changes are identified by a new version date. Material changes require a new acceptance before continued normal use. A new acceptance does not remove mandatory rights or retroactively change completed purchase contracts contrary to law. For app, privacy or purchase enquiries contact schlag_werk@gmx.de. The standard Apple end-user licence may apply additionally to iOS downloads: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/.
