Terms and Conditions

01 Scope

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of the Signaro mobile application (brands "Signaro" and "Wolk", together the "App") in connection with Signaro Player and Seeed E1002 devices (together the "Devices") by natural and legal persons ("Users"). They apply both to consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and to businesses within the meaning of Section 14 BGB.

By downloading, installing, or first using the App, Users accept these Terms. Deviating, conflicting, or supplementary terms proposed by Users do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree to their validity in writing.

The purchase of hardware (Signaro Player, Seeed E1002) is not covered by these Terms, provided the devices are purchased through a separate sales channel (e.g. distributor, retailer). Should direct sales via signaro.eu be established, a separate purchase agreement with its own provisions on delivery, warranty, and retention of title will be required.

02 Contracting party

The contracting party for use of the App is:

03 Conclusion of contract

The usage agreement for the App is concluded once Users download and install the App from the respective app store (Apple App Store / Google Play Store) or — where an account is required for individual features — complete registration. The App's listing in the stores does not constitute a binding offer on our part, but an invitation to download the App.

Downloading the App and any in-app payments (should these be introduced in the future) are additionally subject to the respective terms of use of the app store operator (Apple or Google), over which we have no influence.

04 Description of services

The App enables the creation of content and playlists for digital signage and their transfer to paired devices. The transfer takes place exclusively locally via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, directly between the app and the device — without going through central servers.

• Banner editor for creating and managing banner designs, images, and playlists (playlist management)
• Pairing and local device management: pairing with Signaro Player and Seeed E1002 devices via QR code or local network, as well as managing paired devices within the app
• Offline operation: creating, editing, and managing content even without an internet connection
• Status display of paired devices (storage utilization, active package, playback status)
• Local updates: transfer of firmware and configuration updates to the devices over the local connection

05 Usage rights & license

We grant Users a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to install and use the App as intended on their own or business-operated end devices. No further rights are granted, in particular no rights to the App's source code, trademarks, or design.

Content created by Users (playlists, images, banner designs) remains the property of the respective Users or the rights holders of that content. We claim no rights to this content and do not evaluate its substance.

06 Obligations of users

• The App may only be used within the bounds of applicable law, in particular not for the distribution of unlawful, harmful-to-minors, or rights-infringing content.
• Access credentials (where required for individual features) must be protected from access by third parties.
• Users are solely responsible for the content they transfer to devices via the App, in particular with regard to third parties' copyright, trademark, and personality rights.
• Interference with the functioning of the App (e.g. reverse engineering beyond the legally permitted limits, circumvention of security mechanisms) is prohibited.

07 Availability & changes to the App

Since the App operates locally, its core functionality does not depend on the availability of our servers. However, an internet connection may still be required for individual features (e.g. crash reports, future optional cloud features); we assume no availability guarantee for these.

We are entitled to further develop, adapt, or change individual features of the App as part of updates, provided this is reasonable taking into account Users' legitimate interests. We will announce material deteriorations of the core feature set in the App where possible.

For digital products with digital elements such as the App, Sections 327 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB) provide for a statutory duty to update: we ensure that, during the relevant period, you are provided with the updates necessary to keep the App in conformity with the contract, including security-relevant updates. You will be informed of available updates via the respective app store; installation is carried out by you, unless performed automatically by your operating system.

08 Term & termination

The usage agreement runs for an indefinite period. It ends automatically upon uninstallation of the App or — where an account exists — upon its deletion by the User.

We may terminate or discontinue the provision of the App at any time, for example if we discontinue the product. The right of either party to extraordinary termination for good cause (e.g. in the event of material breaches of Section 6) remains unaffected.

09 Right of withdrawal for consumers

For the free use of the App, there is currently no statutory right of withdrawal, as no payment or provision of personal data is made as consideration within the meaning of Section 312(1a) of the German Civil Code (BGB).

Should paid features be introduced in the future for which consumers are entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal, we will inform you separately of your right of withdrawal and a withdrawal form before such features are introduced.

10 Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as under the Product Liability Act, for injury to life, body, or health, and in the event we have assumed a guarantee.

In the case of slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) — one whose fulfilment is essential for the proper performance of the contract in the first place and on whose observance Users may regularly rely — liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract at the time the contract was concluded. Otherwise, liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty is excluded.

Since content transfer takes place exclusively locally via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth between the app and the device, we assume no liability for disruptions attributable to the User's local network, their end devices, or third-party hardware.

We are not liable for the loss of data to the extent the damage could have been avoided through regular, reasonable data backup by the User.

11 Intellectual property & trademarks

The App, its programming, design, and the "Signaro" and "Wolk" trademarks are protected by copyright and trademark law. Any use of these marks outside the App, for instance in Users' own marketing materials, requires our prior written consent.

The App uses open-source components, including React Native and Expo. The respective license texts and notices regarding further open-source libraries used are available in the App under the corresponding license notices.

12 Changes to these terms

We may amend these Terms with effect for the future, to the extent necessary to adapt to changed legal frameworks, technical developments of the App, or other valid reasons, and provided Users are not unreasonably disadvantaged as a result. We will inform Users of material changes at least two weeks before they take effect, in the App or by email. If Users do not object within this period, the amended Terms are deemed accepted; we will separately point this out in the change notice.

The current version is always available at this address; the date of the last update is shown at the top of this page.

13 Final provisions

• The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of their habitual residence.
• If the User is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is the registered office of AZ Buchstaben GmbH in Witzenhausen.
• Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The applicable statutory provisions shall apply in their place.
