The source code of the app is not disclosed or licensed. The user is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the app as intended.

The provider assumes no liability for the professional execution, the interpretation of the results, and decisions derived therefrom by the user. Likewise, the provider is not liable for the loss of locally stored or exported data.

The app is currently provided free of charge. The provider reserves the right to offer the app or individual features for a fee in whole or in part in the future.

An obligation to pay does not arise automatically and not retroactively. Before incurring any costs, the user is informed of the fee-based nature of the service and the applicable prices, and must explicitly consent to them (e.g., through a confirmation step in the app). This information and consent take place when the user begins the paid use—an advance notice period is not required. No costs are incurred without consent; however, the use of the paid features or the app will then no longer be possible.

The provider may amend these terms of use, for example due to changed functions or legal requirements. Users will be informed of material changes in an appropriate manner – in particular by a notice in the app or as part of an update. Material changes or changes disadvantageous to the user (e.g., the introduction of a payment obligation) shall only become effective with the user's explicit consent. The current version can be found at sinfothek.at/nutzungsbedingungen-der-app available.

Austrian law applies, excluding the referral norms of private international law and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the consumer's state of residence remain unaffected with respect to consumers. If the user is a business, the courts competent for the provider's registered office in Feldkirch are agreed as the place of jurisdiction.

If individual provisions of these terms of use are or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a regulation that comes closest to the economic purpose.
