General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

§ 1 Scope & Provider

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "Terms") apply to the use of the web application "Libravio" (hereinafter "Service").

(2) The provider of the Service and contractual partner of the user is:
Tamir Neffgen (Sole Proprietorship)
Külbstraße 19
55131 Mainz
Germany
(hereinafter "Provider").

(3) Deviating conditions of the user are not recognized unless the Provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§ 2 Subject of Service & Third-Party Functions

(1) Libravio is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application for the management and organization of personal audiobook libraries, subscriptions, and wish lists.

(2) Important Notice regarding Third-Party Data (Import/Scraping):
The Service offers functions that can retrieve and import metadata (e.g., titles, authors, covers) from public third-party sources (e.g., Audible, Amazon) to save the user from manual entry. The Provider has no business affiliation with these third-party providers.

(3) The availability of these import functions depends on the technical accessibility and terms of use of the third-party providers. The Provider assumes no warranty that these import functions will be permanently available. Should third-party providers take technical measures that prevent data retrieval (e.g., changes to website structure, IP bans), the Provider reserves the right to restrict or discontinue these functions without prior notice. There is no legal claim to these specific functions.

(4) Cover Images: Displayed book covers are not hosted on the Provider's servers but are embedded directly from the rights holders' or third-party providers' servers into the user's browser ("hotlinking"). The display serves solely for identification purposes within the private library management.

§ 3 Registration & Conclusion of Contract

(1) Use of the Service requires registration. By completing the registration process (clicking on "Register" and confirmation), the user submits an offer to conclude a free-of-charge user agreement. The Provider accepts this offer by activating the user account.

(2) There is no entitlement to registration or use of the Service. The Provider is entitled to reject registrations without giving reasons.

§ 4 User Obligations

(1) The user assures that all information provided during registration (in particular, the email address) is truthful and complete.

(2) The user is obliged to keep their access data secret and protect it from access by third parties.

(3) Prohibition of automated retrieval: It is prohibited to use the Service by means of automated scripts, bots, or crawlers, or to burden the Service's API in a manner that exceeds normal human usage.

(4) The user undertakes not to post any content (e.g., in notes or comments) that violates applicable law or the rights of third parties.

§ 5 Right of Withdrawal

Consumers are generally entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal when concluding a distance selling contract. Since the Service is currently provided free of charge, no costs are incurred in the event of a withdrawal. The user can terminate the contract at any time by deleting their account, which equates to a withdrawal.

§ 6 Term & Termination

(1) The user agreement runs for an indefinite period.

(2) Termination by the user: The user may terminate the contract at any time without notice by deleting their account in the profile settings.

(3) Termination by the Provider: The Provider is entitled to terminate the user agreement at any time with a notice period of two weeks via email. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause (e.g., in the event of violations of § 4) remains unaffected.

(4) Upon the termination or deletion becoming effective, all user data will be irretrievably deleted, unless statutory retention obligations exist.

§ 7 Liability

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for intent or gross negligence as well as for injury to life, limb, or health.

(2) In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties). In this case, liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage for this type of contract.

(3) The Provider assumes no warranty for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the provided metadata for audiobooks, as these are created automatically or obtained from third parties.

§ 8 Changes to the Terms

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time with effect for the future. The user will be informed of changes via email or upon the next login. If the user does not object to the changes within 4 weeks, they are deemed accepted.
