(hereinafter the "Provider")
Section 1 Scope and Subject Matter of the Contract
(1) These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the mobile application "CRIS – Cannabis Record & Information System", which the Provider makes available via the Google Play Store (Android) and, in the future, via the Apple App Store (iOS). By downloading, installing or using the App, the user agrees to these Terms and Conditions.
(2) CRIS is a neutral documentation and record-keeping tool. The App does not cultivate anything, does not sell anything, does not direct the user toward any specific course of action, and does not encourage the cultivation or consumption of cannabis. Whether, to what extent and under which legal conditions the user possesses or cultivates cannabis lies solely within the user's own responsibility and is governed by the law of the user's place of residence.
(3) The App is not a commercial offering in the sense of a trading tool; it supports neither the purchase nor the sale of cannabis. Any commercial use is expressly prohibited.
(4) Conflicting terms and conditions of the user shall not be recognized unless the Provider expressly agrees to their application in writing.
Section 2 Cannabis Disclaimer and Personal Responsibility
(1) The App is a neutral tool for documentation and record-keeping. It makes no statement as to whether the possession or cultivation of cannabis is permitted at the user's place of residence.
(2) The Provider assumes no responsibility whatsoever for whether the home cultivation of cannabis is legal at the user's respective place of residence. The user is personally obliged to obtain information on the applicable laws and to comply with them.
(3) Insofar as the cultivation or possession of cannabis is not permitted at the user's place of residence, the App may be used exclusively for informational, educational and documentation purposes relating to knowledge already acquired by other means. The provision of the App does not constitute any encouragement to cultivate cannabis.
(4) The App does not constitute legal advice. The content of the App is purely informational in nature and does not replace legal counsel.
(5) Note for users in Germany: In Germany, private home cultivation is governed in particular by the provisions of the Consumer Cannabis Act (Konsumcannabisgesetz, KCanG). This note applies exclusively to Germany and makes no statement regarding the legal situation in other countries.
Section 3 Age Restriction
(1) The App may be used exclusively by persons who have reached the age of 18.
(2) When the App is first launched, a binding age-verification step is carried out. By entering their date of birth and confirming it, the user warrants that they have reached the age of 18. If a date indicating an age under 18 is entered, use is technically refused. False statements are made at the user's own responsibility.
(3) The date of birth is stored exclusively locally on the device and is not transmitted to the Provider or any third parties.
Section 4 Rights of Use and Licence
(1) The Provider grants the user a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the App for private purposes on the user's own devices.
(2) The following is expressly prohibited:
a) the reproduction, distribution or making publicly available of the App;
b) decompiling, disassembling or reverse engineering;
c) the use of the App for commercial purposes;
d) the disclosure of access credentials or licences to third parties.
(3) The App can be used in a free basic version (CRIS Free) and a subscription version (CRIS Pro).
Section 5 Pro Subscription: Prices, Term and Withdrawal
(1) CRIS Pro unlocks extended features: unlimited active grows, unlimited photos per entry, unlimited fertilizer schemas and grow areas, as well as the notification for the new plant week.
(2) The Pro subscription is processed via Google Play Billing. Billing is carried out exclusively via Google Play.
(3) The current prices for the monthly and the annual subscription are displayed before purchase in the app and during the Google Play checkout, in the currency applicable to the user. All prices include statutory value-added tax (VAT) at the applicable rate.
(4) The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period via the Google Play subscription management.
(5) For digital content and subscriptions, the user, as a consumer, has a 14-day right of withdrawal (see the withdrawal instructions in Section 14). The right of withdrawal expires prematurely if, before performance begins, the user (i) has expressly consented to the Provider beginning performance before expiry of the withdrawal period, and (ii) has confirmed their acknowledgement that, by giving such consent, they lose their right of withdrawal once performance begins. This consent is obtained and confirmed during the purchase process.
(6) The Pro status is validated by RevenueCat, Inc. Permanent local storage of the Pro status for circumvention purposes is not possible.
Section 6 Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
(1) The Provider gives no warranty for any particular cultivation or harvest results.
(2) The Provider is not liable for:
a) legal consequences arising from the cultivation of cannabis;
b) data loss resulting from a change of device, a device defect or uninstallation of the App;
c) damage caused by erroneous data entries by the user;
d) harvest failures or economic losses;
e) damage based on erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete calculations, reference values, recommendations or other information provided by the App.
(3) The App – including all integrated calculators, reference-value tables and recommendations – serves solely as non-binding guidance. All calculations and information are provided without warranty as to accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. The user is obliged to check, on their own responsibility, all values and measures relevant to their cultivation before acting on the basis thereof. The App does not replace the user's own expert judgement.
(4) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) – the fulfilment of which is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on the observance of which the user may regularly rely – the Provider's liability is limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract at the time the contract was concluded. In all other respects, liability for slight negligence is excluded.
(5) The foregoing limitations of liability do not apply to damage arising from injury to life, body or health, to intentional or grossly negligent conduct on the part of the Provider, or to liability under the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz, ProdHaftG).
Section 7 Data Storage and Data Protection
(1) The App stores all data exclusively locally on the device in an SQLite database. No automatic data transfer to the Provider's servers takes place.
(2) The manual backup function exports a ZIP file containing all App data. The user is solely responsible for storing it securely.
(3) Using the device's share function, the user may independently transfer the backup file to a location of their choice (e.g. cloud storage, by e-mail or to another app). This operation is carried out exclusively by the user via the operating system; the App itself does not transmit any data to third parties. Any third-party service selected in this way is subject to its own terms.
(4) For the management of in-app purchases, the App uses RevenueCat. In this process, device-related identifiers and purchase information are transmitted to RevenueCat.
(5) The full privacy policy is available within the App under "Settings → About CRIS".
Section 8 Intellectual Property
(1) The App and all of its components are the intellectual property of the Provider and are protected by copyright.
(2) Content that the user enters into the App (photos, notes, measurement values) remains the property of the user.
Section 9 Amendments to These Terms and Conditions
(1) Amendments to these Terms and Conditions will be communicated to the user at least 30 days before they take effect by means of an in-app notice.
(2) In the case of material amendments, the user's active consent will be obtained. If the user does not consent, they may terminate use or cancel an ongoing Pro subscription; the previous terms continue to apply until the end of the current billing period. Mere continued use shall be deemed consent only in the case of non-material amendments that do not disadvantage the user.
Section 10 Termination
(1) The user may end use of the App at any time by uninstalling it.
(2) An active Pro subscription must be cancelled separately via the Google Play subscription management.
Section 11 Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If the user has their habitual residence in another EU or EEA state, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state of their habitual residence remain unaffected; this choice of law does not deprive the user of the protection afforded to them by such mandatory provisions (Art. 6 Rome I Regulation).
(2) For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply. Any exclusive place of jurisdiction at the Provider's registered office applies only vis-à-vis merchants, legal persons under public law and special funds under public law.
(3) The Provider is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act, VSBG).
Section 12 Severability Clause
Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
