2. services, object and rights, advertising, conduct

(2.1) Basic services of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH:

Vegan Cheffrey GmbH provides you with recipes, shopping lists and illustrated cooking instructions via the VeganCheffrey app. In addition, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH may provide you with your own personal area where you can sort your collected recipes, share shopping lists with friends and plan your cooking activities for each week with a weekly plan.

The scope of the provision of recipes and the usage options depend on the type of account you have chosen. You can choose between account-free use (see 2.3), a free account (see 2.3), a free trial subscription (see 3.2) and a paid subscription (see 3.1).

(2.3) Additional services of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH after registration of a free account:

After your registration, which is also free (free account), you can save as many VeganCheffrey recipes in the VeganCheffrey app as you like - the only limit is the absolute number of recipes made available via the VeganCheffrey app.

You can also use other free functions of the VeganCheffrey app, e.g. weekly plan, shopping list and search. Creating a free account does not oblige you to take out a paid subscription.

(2.4) Additional services of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH after registration of a chargeable account:

In order to take advantage of the full scope of the services of the VeganCheffrey app, it is necessary to register with Vegan Cheffrey GmbH using the VeganCheffrey app. Persons aged 16 and over are entitled to register. If you are not 16 years old, the consent of your parents is required in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 sentence 2 GDPR. We are entitled to make the use of the services of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH via the VeganCheffrey app dependent on suitable proof of your identity, your age of majority or the consent of your legal representative; in particular, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH may demand suitable proof at any time and exclude you temporarily or permanently from using the VeganCheffrey app.

(2.5) You register for a paid account for the VeganCheffrey App by entering your first name, surname, e-mail address and a password of your choice. Vegan Cheffrey GmbH will decide on your application for a paid account at its own discretion and will send you a confirmation of your registration by e-mail if it is accepted.

In this case, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH is free to also send the declaration of acceptance via the electronic means of communication provided on these platforms.

(2.6) The VeganCheffrey app is not an online store. It dynamically links to third-party online stores and their third-party offers that may match the respective recipes. All information presented via the VeganCheffrey App serves merely as a non-binding suggestion for the shopping process at the relevant supermarkets and are not offers in the legal sense. No contracts for the purchase of the products presented are concluded via the VeganCheffrey app; whether this is the case with the linked third-party websites is beyond the control of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH.

(2.7) In particular, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH assumes no liability and gives no guarantee that the products shown on the websites and apps of third parties (in particular supermarkets) linked to the VeganCheffrey app are available from the third parties (in particular in the corresponding supermarkets) and/or can be purchased at the conditions stated by the third parties on the linked websites and apps. We agree and you acknowledge that Vegan Cheffrey GmbH cannot influence the respective offers of the third parties. The responsibility for the product range and pricing lies solely with the respective third party who is the supplier of the product in question. If you intend to make a purchase, you yourself are obliged to check all information essential for the conclusion of the contract and its topicality and to contact the respective third party with the corresponding (purchase) offer and, if necessary, to conclude corresponding contracts. In particular, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH assumes no liability and provides no guarantee that the information and data provided on the websites and apps of third parties linked to the VeganCheffrey app are correct.

(2.8) The rights to the VeganCheffrey app and to the content displayed in the app, in particular the recipes of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH, are and remain with Vegan Cheffrey GmbH; as far as the rights of third parties are concerned (in particular offers of third parties linked to the VeganCheffrey app), they remain with the respective third parties. You are only granted the right to make the uses necessary for the VeganCheffrey app (i.e. in particular calling up the app, cooking); this right applies worldwide, is not assignable and cannot be sublicensed.

All property rights of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH, in particular our trade names (companies), logos, domain names and other special features of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH are the sole property of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH. You are not granted any right to use the VeganCheffrey trademarks, our trade names, logos, domain names or other VeganCheffrey brand features, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

(2.9) On the VeganCheffrey platforms, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH is permitted to display advertising information to you.

(2.10) Vegan Cheffrey GmbH may, at its own discretion, also grant you the opportunity to publish your own comments and contributions on the VeganCheffrey website. Any intentional or knowing use that is likely to harm the interests of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH or its public reputation, impair the security of the IT system or violate applicable legal provisions is not permitted. This applies in particular to

  • Posting or disseminating content that violates personal rights, copyright or criminal law;
  • the posting or dissemination of insulting, defamatory, anti-constitutional, racist, sexist, violence-glorifying or pornographic statements or images and/or
  • posting, linking or otherwise introducing malware (in particular virus programs).

3. framework regulations for paid subscriptions and free trial subscriptions

(3.1) Conclusion of the contract for a paid subscription

To use the comprehensive services of the VeganCheffrey app, additional service packages are available to you after your registration in the form of paid subscriptions ("subscription accesses"). These can be taken out for different, possibly changing terms, which will be displayed in the order options.

The subscription accesses of the VeganCheffrey app are fee-based subscriptions that allow you to access additional content and functions via the mobile applications of Vegan Cheffrey GmbH. Access to the respective services is valid as long as the subscription is active.

You conclude the contract for a paid subscription through an in-app purchase via our iOS or Android apps. In this case, the contractual terms and conditions displayed there by Google, Apple or Digistore apply in addition (in particular also to the individual booking steps)

(3.2) Trial subscriptions/test phases/conversion to paid subscriptions

Occasionally, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH invites new users in particular to use subscription access for test purposes (so-called "trial subscription") for a certain period of time free of charge (so-called "invitatio ad offerendum"). With your declaration of participation, you submit an offer for this trial subscription. Vegan Cheffrey GmbH shall determine at its own discretion whether, when and under what conditions you may receive and then take up the trial subscription. If there is an important reason, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH may discontinue or change such a free trial subscription at any time without prior notice or announcement. The following provisions apply in particular to trial subscriptions:

(3.2.1) You can only participate in some trial subscriptions if you have entered your payment details in the app stores (e.g. Apple App Store or Google Play Store) when registering for the trial subscription. In such a case, Vegan Cheffrey GmbH requires your consent at the beginning of the trial subscription for your free access to be converted into a paid subscription to a subscription access (Section 3.1.) after the trial subscription expires on the day following the end of the trial subscription. In this case, your subscription will be renewed on a recurring basis and can be canceled up to one day before the end of the respective subscription period (Section 7).

(3.2.2) If you do not wish to have the subscription access and the associated charges in a case pursuant to this Section 3.2, you must cancel the subscription access provided to you as part of the trial subscription before the end of the trial subscription. You can do this via the settings of the relevant app store.

(3.2.3) In general, we have no influence on refunds for subscriptions that are concluded as in-app purchases via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and therefore cannot guarantee a refund within 14 days.

(3.3) Subscription means in any case that the relevant contract is automatically renewed at the end of the respective subscription term for a further subscription term, unless you cancel your paid subscription at least 24 hours before the end of the term (Section 7).

4 Liability/warranty and exclusion of warranty
