PREAMBLE

By clicking on the “Buy” button in the Apple App-Store and entering your password or touch ID, or by clicking the “buy” button after entering your password in Alphabet’s “Google Play” Store, or by clicking the download button on our website, you make an offer subject to this agreement as a purchaser which arises with the imminent start of the download (§ 864 Civil Code ABGB).
Third-party licence holders, advocacy groups, trainers or similar third parties may acquire licenses as part of their own licence agreement in their own name at their own cost as a means of obtaining access codes which can be used by the User to unlock app functions and other offers provided by the Operator. A separate claim or obligation shall not arise to the User from the relationship between third-party licence holder and Operator.
Privacy aspects are regulated in our privacy notice, which forms an integral part of this agreement and is attached to this agreement as “Appendix 1.D“.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

App, Online Platform

The Operator provides access to a program (an “App”) for Apple iOS and Google Android and – where applicable – as an online platform in the form of infrastructure which, in general terms, supports language learning and knowledge management.

Service

As a service (hereinafter “Service”) many vocabulary items are provided with images, sounds and sample sentences, which can be learned using various techniques.

Overall Product

The App, online platform, Service and all other performances are provided due to this agreement are together referred to as the “Overall Product”.

Device

Device means any physical or virtual device that can process data with the aid of a programmable algorithm.

License

License is a name for the right to use the software as per this agreement. The licence sets out the type and scope of the right to use this software.

User-account

The use of our services and access to our content require a personal user account. This user account consists of the User’s email address and a personal password.

Registration Data

The data needed to register a user account are: First name, last name, address, date of birth. The Operator reserves the exclusive and unfettered right to refuse individual Users to register or to be approved as educator / third-party licensee without giving reasons. By way of registration the user accepts the General Terms and Conditions of Use as well as the privacy policy.

Technical Data

Technical Data is information which cannot be used to identify you. This includes technical data about your device and operating system.

Third-Party Licence Agreement and Third-Party Licence

Third-parties, such as employers, advocacy groups, schools, trainers or similar third parties (“third party licence holders”) may obtain third-party licenses to unlock special content (“Third-party licence agreement”) for the benefit of the User and/or for the purpose of the individual training as a part of a separate licence agreement. The third-party licence holder receives unlock codes, which the User of the current agreement can use to unlock functions of the app and other offers from the operator.

LICENCE SCOPE AND CONTRACT IN FAVOUR OF THIRD PARTIES

The Operator shall provide the user with a non-transferable licence for use of the Overall Product in the scope permitted by these usage terms.

The conditions of this agreement apply for all content, materials or services to which the User can access via the App or online platform or which can be purchased within the App or online platform, and all upgrades made available by the Operator which replace or add to the original App; provided that a particular upgrade is not associated with its own agreement.

The Operator strives to make its Apps available for many devices and the latest versions of iOS and Android, as well as any other platforms and operating systems. The Operator does not assume any obligations in terms of performance beyond the above. In particular, the User has no claim to the constant availability of the Apps or particular functionality.

The User may not transfer, redistribute or sub-licence the App. If the User gives his device to third parties either for a fee or free-of-charge for a longer period of time, or the User disposes of the device, he will need to remove the App from the device first.

The User must not reproduce or reassemble the App or any updates or parts thereof (except when the redistribution is permitted or within the realm of this licence or for technical reasons). It is also not allowed to disassemble the App, to change the app or to create works derived from it.

A third-party licence contract which gives the User access to other content and offers from the Operator represents a non-genuine contract in favour of a third party (“unechter Vertrag zugunsten Dritter”). The offered content from a third-party licence agreement may therefore vary or be removed without the User deriving any personal claim from it.

The Overall Product uses a range of open-source software from third-party providers whose licence agreements are listed in Annex 1.

PRECONDITIONS OF USE

Compatible hardware, software (the most recent version recommended and may be necessary) and internet access (fees may apply) is required. The functionality of our services may be influenced by these factors. Offline use is not possible.

A precondition of use is full registration of a user account beforehand as per paragraph 6 of the agreement.

A special fee need not be paid in order to use the basic version of the app or download version. In addition, the Operator operates other additional services from the App or via the online platform. Fees may apply when using such extra services (e.g. additional or native languages, additional dictionaries, or additional course manuals).

PRICES / PAYMENT METHODS

The prices for chargeable produces/services are itemised during the order process. They can also be seen in the price-service breakdown on the website or in the App.

For fixed-term contracts, in which a contract extension is enabled, the given price is charged for the respective term. If the User took advantage of a price discount depending on certain requirements, this discount will not be granted automatically after an automatic extension, if the same requirements are no longer in effect at the time of the extension.

The indicated prices are overall prices for the term of the contact and in the local currency, including applicable VAT. The prices that were made at the time of the order shall apply.

Price information for offers must generally be understood as payment for making the offers available and the opportunity for use during the given term. The payment does not include payment for the sending of data via the mobile phone provider chosen by the users or the Internet service provider (data transfer fees).

Invoices are issued digitally only. No invoices are issued in paper form.

REGISTRATION

In order to register for a User-account a user name, a valid email address and other registration data is required during the registration procedure for the app and online platform. As of 2.7 Users are only allowed to register once. In course of the activation of the User-account, the User is sent a confirmation email, in which the User must confirm his data and email address. After successful confirmation, the User can use his User-Account to ‘dial into’ the Operator’s online database.

The User is responsible for keeping his User-Account and password secret. Similarly, the user is fully responsible for all activities that take place via his User-account. A User-Account is for personal use only and is non-transferable. The User must notify the operator immediately about any unauthorised use of his password or account or other security infringement. He does so by sending the information to the following email address support@visioneducation.net or to the following fax number: +49 30 417075-339.

The User is required to enter true, up-to-date and complete information about himself and to maintain and update his registration data so that such data always remain true, up-to-date and complete.

The Operator reserves the right to close or block a User-Account of such User whose account has been or who has used the Overall Product without permission or illegally.

The Operator will not assume any liability for loss or damage arising due to non-compliance with these guidelines.

The User accepts that all intellectual property rights arising from the rendering of the Overall Product, any software required for usage of the service and all content in the App and online platform (including text, videos, images or other material) – with the exception of user content – belong to the Operator and the Operator’s operator, and that the Operator and his third party providers reserve the right to all intellectual property rights over the Overall Product.

WARRANTY & LIABILITY LIMITATIONS

The User concedes that, despite exercising utmost conscientiousness and care, it is not possible to rule out programme and software bugs with 100% reliability based on the current state of technology.

If the User is a consumer within the meaning of § 1 Consumer Protection Act (KSchG), damage compensation claims due to slightly negligent behaviour of the Operator or his vicarious agents are excluded. This does not apply to the Operator’s obligation to compensate damage to the person of the user.

If the User is not a consumer within the meaning of § 1 Consumer Protection Act (KSchG), damage compensation claims against the Operator are generally excluded unless the damage is the result of an intentional damage from the Operator or his assistants within the meaning of § 1313a ABGB (“Austrian Civil Code”). User’s warranty claims are also excluded. Disputes over errors are excluded, as are disputes due to frustration of contract on the part of the User.
