Consumer dispute resolution: I am neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).
The postal address above is a post office box in Erlangen; for a fast response please use e-mail.
By using my software applications and services, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
The applications are intended solely for personal use.
azdw, the work-item and portfolio tool for Azure DevOps and GitHub, is licensed to organizations for internal business use and has its own terms: see the azdw legal page. Where that page is silent, this page applies.
License: You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the applications on a number of devices as specified in the license within your personal work and home contexts, subject to compliance with these terms and applicable laws. By purchasing the software you agree to the terms of service and privacy policy.
For auto-renewing subscriptions purchased through Apple, the Apple Standard Terms of Use (EULA) also apply.
Warranty: The statutory warranty rights of consumers — in particular §§ 327 ff. BGB for digital products — remain unaffected. Beyond these statutory rights, I do not guarantee that the applications will be error-free, uninterrupted or suitable for a particular purpose of yours.
Limitation of Liability: I am liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and where I have assumed a guarantee. In cases of slight negligence I am liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction: These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence. If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Erlangen, Germany.
