General Terms and Conditions of Zappter AG for the service called Zappter for the creation of mobile applications and websites optimized for use with mobile devices (hereinafter jointly referred to as "Apps").
These GTC govern the terms and conditions for the use of services provided by Zappter AG (hereinafter referred to as "Provider", "we" or "us") in connection with Zappter to customers creating Apps with Zappter (hereinafter referred to as "Users"). Deviating terms and conditions of the user do not apply. They shall not apply even if the Provider does not expressly object to them.

1. Zappter Platform

The Provider provides its services via the website www.zappter.com as well as other sub-domains belonging to this domain (hereinafter "Zappter Platform").

2. User account

The use of Zappter requires a registration for a user account. The registration of a legal entity may only be carried out by a natural person authorized to represent Zappter.
We may refuse to accept registrations at any time without stating a reason.

3. Service offer by Zappter

With Zappter, the provider offers the user the possibility to create apps based on Software-as-a-Service. Further details of the services and functions are described on the Zappter platform. The Provider is entitled to independently update and extend Zappter at any time if this is reasonable for the User. The Provider offers Zappter in different models with different performance and service levels. 

The current, available models as well as their performance and service scope can be viewed on the Zappter platform. The models available at the time of use by the user apply.
The contract about the use of Zappter and other services offered by the Provider is concluded by activating the option "I agree to the General Terms and Conditions" during the online registration of the user account or by signing a separate user contract between the user and the Provider. The Provider is entitled to have parts of its services and products provided by third parties.

The Provider uses computer centres in various countries in Europe, America, Asia and Australia for the operation of its services offered worldwide, whereby the user is allocated the server location geographically closest to his seat/location. The backend services of the app (in contrast to the frontend in the app stores) remain on the servers rented from us. The provider provides the functions of Zappter with an availability of 97% in the calendar month. This does not include times during which the use is interrupted or impaired for compelling technical reasons or due to necessary maintenance work. In case of exceptionally extensive usage / simultaneous number of users in the app, which results in infrastructure costs being higher than income, we reserve the right to consider dedicated hosting as mandatory. In this case, the technical team will contact the customer and reserves the right to temporarily throttle the connections to your app.

The Provider does not owe any success for the Apps created with Zappter. In particular, the Provider cannot guarantee that Apps created with Zappter will pass the test by the operators of the respective App Stores and will be posted in the respective App Store. This decision is beyond the provider's sphere of influence. Upon submission to the respective App Store, the App is subject to the conditions applicable to the App Store in question. These can be viewed at the respective App Store. The provider is entitled to list the user's company and logo in reference lists and to publish these on the Internet or in print media for factual information. Furthermore, the user grants the provider the right to use used app names and icons in references and overview lists.
