1. THE APPLICATION
RattleStork (the licensed application) is software that connects users, in particular donors and recipients, and is designed for iOS and Android devices (Devices). It is a matching and communication platform in the context of sperm donation and co-parenting. The App does not provide medical or legal services and does not operate a medical facility or a sperm bank.
2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT
You must be at least 18 years old, or have reached the higher age of majority in your jurisdiction. Protect your login details. Account misuse and access restrictions are subject to the applicable statutory requirements and our Acceptable Use Policy.
3. SCOPE OF LICENCE
3.1 A non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence to install/use the App on devices you own or control, as permitted by the terms of use (including Family Sharing/volume licences, where applicable).
3.2 Updates/supplements are subject to this EULA, unless a separate licence applies.
3.3 You may not share, sell, rent, lend, lease, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works from the App, except to the extent required by mandatory law or with the licensor's prior written consent.
3.4 You may make backup copies for your own devices; remove the app before transferring a device. Do not remove any copyright or other proprietary notices.
3.5 In the event of a breach, access restrictions, termination and compensation claims are subject to the applicable statutory requirements.

4. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The currently required operating system versions and device specifications are listed in the current app store listing. The contractually agreed characteristics and statutory update obligations remain applicable.
5. MAINTENANCE and SUPPORT
The licensor is solely responsible for maintenance and support. The stores (Apple/Google) are not obligated to provide support for the app. SeeSection 23.
6. USE OF DATA
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 and security. Store operators process payment data; the licensor does not store full payment details.
7. USER-GENERATED CONTENT (UGC)
You may create or share content (text, images, audio/video, profile information, messages, etc., UGC). UGC may be visible to others depending on settings and app functionality. You represent and warrant that you own the rights to your UGC; that it is lawful, accurate and not infringing; that it respects privacy and personal rights; and that it does not contain illegal content, threats, harassment, hate, or depictions of child sexual abuse. No spam or unauthorized advertising.
Moderation and access restrictions follow our Acceptable Use Policy and the applicable statutory requirements.
8. LICENSE TO UGC
You retain the rights to your content. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display and technically adapt it solely to provide the services, including security and moderation. Use follows your visibility settings and ends upon deletion, except where statutory retention obligations apply. Advertising use requires your separate consent.
9. FREEMIUM, BENEFITS and SUBSCRIPTIONS
RattleStork offers a free plan with limited features as well as premium subscriptions with expanded 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.
The features you purchase are determined by the service description shown before purchase and your chosen plan.
The term and renewal conditions are shown before purchase. Manage store subscriptions through Apple or Google. Cancellation, withdrawal and refunds are covered by our Refund Policy; mandatory law remains unaffected.
10. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL (EU)
For digital services, a statutory right of withdrawal does not expire merely because access begins. The withdrawal instructions and model form explain the conditions and how to exercise this right.
11. SAFETY and NO ADVICE
The app does not provide medical, legal, or professional advice. Information is general and does not replace professional advice. You are responsible for your decisions and interactions. Be cautious, especially with in-person meetings.
12. NOTICE-AND-ACTION (ILLEGAL CONTENT)
You can report suspected illegal content through our contact form. Our Acceptable Use Policy explains reporting, handling and review of decisions.
13. LIABILITY
Our liability is governed by applicable law. Mandatory claims, particularly those involving intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, and product liability law, remain unaffected.
14. WARRANTY
Statutory rights relating to defects apply, including updates required for digital products. Please report defects for investigation and remedy; no additional contractual time limit excludes these claims.
If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple; Apple may refund the app purchase price. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no further warranty obligations. Statutory claims against us remain available.
15. PRODUCT CLAIMS
The licensor, not the stores, is responsible for handling claims from end users or third parties regarding the app or your possession/use — including product liability, non-conformity with legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer or data protection law.
16. LEGAL COMPLIANCE (SANCTIONS)
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a 'state-sponsor of terrorism', and that you are not listed on any US sanctions list for prohibited or restricted parties.

This licence applies for the agreed period of use. Termination and restrictions for breaches are governed by the statutory requirements and our Acceptable Use Policy. Uninstalling the app does not automatically cancel a subscription; use the cancellation methods in the Refund Policy.

For apps obtained from the Apple App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA and may enforce it against you upon your acceptance. Applicable third-party terms must also be observed.
19. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
If a third party asserts that the app or your possession/use infringes intellectual property rights, investigation, defence, settlement and resolution of such claims are the responsibility of the licensor (not the Services), subject to legal rights and defences.
20. GOVERNING LAW and CONSUMER RIGHTS
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protections in your country of habitual residence and statutory rules on jurisdiction remain unaffected.
