1. Scope

These Terms of Service apply to the use of the app "Family Calendar" (web app, iOS app, macOS app), operated by:

Email: hey@family-calendar.de

2. Subject Matter

Family Calendar is a family calendar app that manages events, persons, birthdays, and general entries (e.g., public holidays, school holidays, waste collection dates) and synchronizes them across multiple devices. The app is available as a web app and as a native app for iOS and macOS.

3. Registration, Access, and Minimum Age

Access is provided through a family code. No personal user account with email and password is required. However, an email address is required by our payment provider Polar when purchasing a subscription.

You are responsible for keeping your recovery code safe. We cannot issue a new code and have no access to existing codes.

Minimum age: Use of the app requires a minimum age of 18 years. Minors may only use the app with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

4. Free Trial

New calendars receive a free 30-day trial with full functionality. The trial is initiated through our payment provider Polar and requires an email address and a payment method.

After the trial period, the subscription automatically converts into a paid annual subscription unless you cancel beforehand. You can cancel at any time during the trial through the app or the Polar customer portal. No charge is made during the trial period.

5. Subscription and Pricing

The subscription currently costs EUR 17.99 per year per calendar (final price; no VAT charged pursuant to § 19 UStG, German small business regulation). Payment is processed through our payment provider Polar.

6. Right of Withdrawal

Withdrawal Right

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the date of contract conclusion (subscription purchase).

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us

Sebastian Vates
Spitzauer Wiese 19
83416 Saaldorf-Surheim, Germany
Email: hey@family-calendar.de

by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by mail or an email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the model withdrawal form below, but this is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw from this contract. We shall carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you requested that the services begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount proportional to the services provided up to the time you informed us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

Model Withdrawal Form

(If you wish to withdraw from the contract, please complete and return this form.)

(*) Delete as appropriate.

Early Commencement of Service

You expressly agree that we begin performance of the contract (provision of app functionality) before the expiry of the withdrawal period. You acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal upon complete performance of the contract.

7. Availability

We strive for high availability of the app. However, uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed. The app may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or force majeure (e.g., natural disasters, cyberattacks, cloud infrastructure outages). In cases of force majeure, we are released from our obligations for the duration and extent of the event.

Thanks to offline functionality, you can use the app without an internet connection. Changes are automatically synchronized when connectivity is restored.

8. User Obligations

You agree to:

9. Limitation of Liability

Liability is limited to intent and gross negligence to the extent permitted by law. For slight negligence, liability is limited to the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties). In such cases, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.

This does not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, or to claims under product liability law.

10. Data Deletion and Termination

You can delete your calendar completely through the app at any time. This permanently removes all associated data. After canceling your subscription, the calendar remains usable until the end of the paid period.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms with at least 30 days' advance notice. You will be informed of material changes through the app and, where an email address is on file, by email.

For material changes that affect your rights or obligations, your express consent is required. If you do not agree to the changes, you have a special right of termination effective at the time the changes take effect. Amounts already paid for unused periods will be refunded on a pro-rata basis.

12. Final Provisions
