5. Conclusion of the Contract
Registration in the App will create the legal relationship between you and the App FYNTS.
6. Member account
6.1 In order to access and use certain areas and features of our App, you must first register and create an account ("Member Account"). You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your Member Account.
6.2 If someone other than You accesses Your Member Account and/or Your Settings, they may perform all actions available to You and, for example, make changes to Your Member Account. Therefore, we strongly advise you to keep your Member Account login information safe. Such activities may be deemed to have been done for you and on your behalf, and you alone may be responsible for those activities that occur under your Member Account, whether or not expressly authorized by you, and for all damages, expenses and losses resulting therefrom. You will be liable for activities related to your Member Account in the manner described if you negligently enabled the use of your Member Account by failing to exercise reasonable care in protecting your login credentials.
6.3 You may create and access your Member Account through a designated website or through a third-party platform such as Facebook or Google (the "Social Network Account"). If you sign up through a Third Party Platform Account, you hereby grant us access to certain information about you that is stored in your Social Network Account.
6.4 You may only open an account for another person if you have given us permission to do so.
6.5 We may permanently or temporarily block or suspend your access to the Member Account, without liability to you, to protect us, our App and Services, or other users, for example, if you violate any provision of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation in connection with your use of the App or your Member Account. This may occur without notice if the circumstances require immediate action, in which case we will notify you as soon as possible. In addition, we reserve the right to terminate your Member Account upon two months' notice by email if, for example, we discontinue our Member Account program. You may discontinue use and request deletion of your Member Account at any time by contacting us.

7.3 Retailers and service providers can adjust or delete their promotions at any time.
7.4 The FYNTS app is not responsible for controlling the execution of the actions of retailers or service providers. In case of a promotion with a retailer or service provider, their terms and conditions will apply.

Our Services and related content (and any derivative works or enhancements thereof), including without limitation with respect to all text, illustrations, files, images, software, scripts, graphics, photographs, sounds, music, videos, information, content, materials, products, services, URLs, technology, documentation, trademarks, service marks, trade names and trade dress, and interactive features, and all intellectual property rights therein, are either owned or licensed by us (collectively: "our Intellectual Property Rights") and nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in connection with our Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly set forth herein or as required by mandatory legal requirements for use of the Services, you do not acquire any right, title or interest in or to our Intellectual Property Rights. Any rights not expressly granted in these Terms are expressly reserved.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all actual or alleged claims, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site and Services in violation of these Terms, including, without limitation, any use in violation of the restrictions and requirements set forth in the "Permitted Use" section, unless such circumstances are not due to your fault.
11. Limitation of Liability
11.1 Generally, retailers and service providers are responsible for the content - product descriptions, promotions, coupons and other information - in the App. Any liability of the app FYNTS for the content of retailers and service providers is therefore excluded.
11.2 We are liable only in case of intent, gross negligence, negligent injury to life, body, health or slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, and only in case of paid services or sale of products. A "material contractual obligation" means an obligation the performance of which is a basic requirement for the proper performance of the agreement and on which you normally rely and may reasonably rely. Our liability for a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation is limited to the amount of ordinary and foreseeable damages for that type of contract.
11.3 Our liability under the Product Liability Act or in the event that we have explicitly given a guarantee shall remain unaffected.
11.4 The above provisions shall apply to our contractual (including liability for futile expenses) and non-contractual liability (including liability in tort) as well as to liability arising from transactions prior to the conclusion of the contract (culpa in contrahendo). They shall also apply in favor of our directors, officers or other legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents.
12. Modification of the terms and conditions and the services
We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion to reflect changes in law or additional features we may introduce, or as we otherwise develop our business. Therefore, you should review these Terms periodically and, in any event, during the payment process when you purchase our Services. The new Terms will apply to any new order you place after the effective date of the new Terms. If any ongoing services you use are affected by the changes to the Terms, we will reasonably consider your legitimate interests in doing so. We will notify you of such changes in a timely manner in advance. You will be deemed to have accepted the changes unless you object to them within two months of such notice. We will advise you of this in our notice. If you object to the changes, we will have a special right of termination - without further obligation to you - effective on the date the changes take effect.
We may change the Services, discontinue providing the Services or any feature(s) of the Services offered, or limit the Services. We may terminate or suspend access to the Services themselves permanently or temporarily - without cause and without further obligation. We will notify you in advance in a timely manner, if possible under the circumstances, and will give due consideration to your legitimate interests in taking such action.
13. Links to Third Party Sites
Retailers and service providers may provide links to their own homepages from which you may leave the Site. Unless otherwise indicated, the linked sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for the contents of any linked site, any link contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to such sites. We are not responsible for transmissions received from any linked site. Links to third party websites are provided for informational purposes only. The fact that we have provided links to other websites does not mean that we endorse their owners or their content.
14. Applicable Law
14.1 The terms and conditions described herein shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (without regard to its conflict of law provisions). The place of jurisdiction shall be the Munich Local Court.
14.2 Unless expressly provided otherwise, if any part of these Terms is held to be unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, it is agreed that such part of the Terms shall be deleted and the remaining Terms shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.
14.3 If you are a merchant and have your registered office in Germany at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be the registered office of the Seller. Otherwise, the applicable statutory provisions shall apply to the local and international jurisdiction.
15. Miscellaneous

15.2 The headings used in these Terms are for convenience only and shall have no legal significance.
