RattleStork is licensed to you (the „End User“) exclusively by RattleStork UG (limited liability), Sternstraße 23, 39104 Magdeburg, Germany (the „Licensor“), solely under this End User License Agreement („EULA“). VAT ID: 102/115/07476.
By downloading or updating the app from the Apple App Store and/or Google Play Store (the „Services“) you agree to this EULA. The Services are not parties to this EULA and are not responsible for the licensed application; it is solely the responsibility of the Licensor.
This EULA must not conflict with the current Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Google Play Terms of Service (the „Usage Rules“).

RattleStork (the „licensed application“) is software that connects users — especially donors and recipients — and is tailored for iOS and Android devices („devices“). It is a matching and communication platform in the context of sperm donation/co-parenting. The app does not provide medical or legal services and does not operate a medical facility or sperm bank.
The app is not tailored to sector-specific regulations (e.g., HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA). Do not use it if such laws apply.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher). You are responsible for securing your login credentials and all activities under your account. The Licensor may implement identity/age verification (optional or mandatory) and suspend or terminate accounts for EULA violations.
3.1 Non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to install/use the app on devices you own/control as permitted by the usage rules (including family sharing/volume licenses, if applicable).
3.2 Updates/additions are subject to this EULA unless a separate license applies.
3.3 You may not share, sell, rent, lend, lease, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of the app except as required by law or with prior written consent of the Licensor.
3.4 You may create backup copies for your own devices; remove the app before transferring a device. Do not remove any notices of protection.
3.5 Violations or attempts may be subject to criminal/civil prosecution and liability for damages. The licensor may adjust license terms for the future.
3.6 Nothing in this license limits applicable third-party terms; you must comply with them when using the app.
Requires firmware/OS version 1.0.0 or higher (current version recommended). Compatibility may change; specifications can be updated at any time. You are responsible for ensuring your device meets the requirements.
Maintenance/support is solely the responsibility of the licensor. The services are not obligated to provide support for the app. See Section 23.
The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. The app may collect technical data to provide support, deliver updates, improve features, and ensure integrity/security. Store operators process payment data; the licensor does not store complete payment details.
You may create/share content (text, images, audio/video, profile info, messages, etc., “UGC“). UGC may be visible to others depending on settings and app functionality. You warrant/guarantee that you own rights to your UGC; it is lawful, accurate, and non-infringing; respects privacy/personality rights; and contains no illegal content, threats, harassment, hate, or depictions of child sexual abuse. No spam or unauthorized advertising.
The licensor may remove, restrict, or reclassify UGC at its discretion to protect users or comply with laws/this EULA and our Acceptable Use Policy.
To provide and improve the service, you grant the licensor a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, perform, transmit, and technically adapt your UGC solely to provide the app (including moderation, security, backup). This license ends when your UGC is deleted from our systems, except where legal retention or dispute/security logs require longer storage within legal limits. You retain ownership; to the extent permitted by law, you waive moral rights.
RattleStork offers a free plan with limited features and premium subscriptions with extended features. Benefits may vary by country, platform (iOS, Android, Web), and billing cycle. Current plans, prices, and details are shown in the app or on our Subscription Overview.
Examples (not exhaustive): Free users can send up to three first messages per month and see “last online”; premium users can send unlimited first messages, see “last active,” and use visibility boosts.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled. Renewal charges may occur up to 24 hours before period end. Trial periods (if offered) may be forfeited upon purchase. Manage/cancel via Apple / Google. Refunds are handled by the store operator; the licensor does not refund except as legally required.
EU consumers generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance sales of digital content/services. This right may expire once provision begins with your prior explicit consent and confirmation of loss of withdrawal rights. Purchases via Apple/Google are subject to their processes/policies.
The app does not provide medical, legal, or professional advice. Information is general and does not replace professional consultation. You are responsible for your decisions and interactions. Be cautious and careful, especially with in-person meetings.
Report suspected illegal content or violations via our contact form or the in-app report feature (profile/messages menu). Provide the content URL/profile, a description, legal basis if applicable, and your contact details. We review reports without undue delay, take appropriate action, and provide — e.g., per EU DSA — a reason including legal remedy options as legally required.
The licensor's liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. For breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties), the licensor is also liable for slight negligence, limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages. Liability for injury to life, body, or health and mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.
At the time of download, the app is free of malware and essentially matches the description. No warranty applies if used on unsupported devices/OS, unauthorized modification, misuse, combination with unsuitable hardware/software/accessories, or causes beyond the licensor's control.
Defects must be reported promptly (within 30 days of discovery). After confirmation, the licensor may remedy or provide replacement. For store purchases, you may request a refund from the store operator; no further warranty obligations exist from the store. For businesses, defect claims expire 12 months after provision; statutory periods apply for consumers. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
The licensor is responsible for handling claims from end users/third parties regarding the app or your possession/use — including product liability, non-compliance with legal/regulatory requirements, and consumer/data protection claims — not the services.
You warrant and guarantee that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or classified as “terror-supporting,” and that you are not listed on any US sanctions list for prohibited/restricted parties.
This EULA applies until terminated by you or the licensor. Your rights end automatically without notice if you violate this EULA. After termination, you must stop use and delete all copies. Cancel subscriptions in your store settings.
The licensor respects applicable third-party terms. Apple and Google (including subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA and may enforce it against you after your acceptance.
If a third party claims the app or your possession/use infringes intellectual property rights, investigation, defense, settlement, and resolution of such claims are the licensor's responsibility (not the services), subject to legal rights/defenses.
This EULA is governed by German law (excluding conflict of law rules). If you are a consumer with habitual residence in another EU member state, you also benefit from the mandatory provisions of your country of residence. Nothing in this EULA affects such rights.
We may change this EULA from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in the app and/or in an appropriate manner before taking effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using and cancel subscriptions in store settings.
22.1 Severability. If a provision is invalid, the rest remains effective; invalid provisions will be replaced by ones closest to the original purpose.
22.2 Written form. Side agreements, changes, and additions require written form; waiver is only possible in writing.
22.3 No assignment. You may not assign this EULA or rights from it without prior written consent of the licensor.
22.4 Entire agreement. This EULA includes our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy; these apply additionally.
