Terms of Service

1. Provider and Scope

These Terms of Service govern the use of the FriendSync platform (“Service”), operated by Bastian John, John Tech, Lübsche Straße 115, 23966 Wismar, Germany (“Provider”, “we”, “us”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

FriendSync is a group scheduling platform that helps friends coordinate meetups by collecting availability, suggesting optimal dates, and optionally making restaurant reservations. The Service integrates with third-party calendar providers (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook) to import availability data. The Service is offered in both free and paid tiers as described on our pricing page.

3. Registration and Account

To use the Service, you must create an account with accurate and complete information. You may register via email, Google Sign-In, or Apple Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Service, including but not limited to: attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems, interfering with other users’ use of the Service, using the Service for any unlawful purpose, or using automated means to access the Service other than through our provided interfaces. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Paid Subscriptions and Payments

Paid plans (FriendSync Pro) are billed in advance on a monthly or yearly basis as selected at the time of purchase. Payments are processed by the respective app store (Apple App Store, Google Play) or our payment provider. Prices are listed on our pricing page and may be changed with 30 days’ notice. You may cancel your subscription at any time; access continues until the end of the current billing period. Refunds are provided in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws and the policies of the respective app store.

6. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Service are owned by the Provider and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws. You retain full ownership of your personal data, availability information, and any content you provide through the Service.

7. Availability and Warranty

We strive to provide the Service with high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance where possible. The Service is provided with the diligence customary in the industry. Statutory warranty rights remain unaffected.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Provider’s liability is governed by the statutory provisions of German law. The Provider is liable without limitation for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. For slight negligence, the Provider is liable only in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. Liability for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, as well as liability under the German Product Liability Act, remains unaffected.

9. Data Protection

We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

10. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Free accounts may be terminated by either party at any time. Paid subscriptions may be terminated at the end of the current billing period. We may terminate or suspend your account immediately if you materially breach these Terms.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days in advance via email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may terminate your account.

12. 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 (CISG). If you are a consumer within the EU, mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence apply in addition. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Wismar, Germany, provided you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the economic intent of the original.
