Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period expires. Cancellation is done through the Google Play Store settings on your device.

5. Content and Intellectual Property

5.1 App Content

All rights to the App, including design, code, graphics, logos, and text, belong to the provider. The App is protected by German and international copyright law.

5.2 User Content

Texts that you import into the App (PDFs, ePubs, website content, etc.) remain your property. The App stores this content exclusively on your device. The provider claims no rights to your content and has no access to it.

6. Technical Requirements and Updates

The App requires an Android device with a current operating system version. The provider strives to keep the App compatible with new Android versions but provides no guarantee. It may be necessary to update the App to continue using it.

7. Support and Maintenance

The provider is not obligated to provide maintenance, support, or update services for the App. Any updates or support requests are handled at the provider's discretion. For questions, you can contact hello@fovearead.app.

8. Availability and Warranty

The provider warrants that the App is free from malware (malware, viruses, trojans) at the time of download. Defects in the App must be reported within 90 days of discovery with a description of the problem to hello@fovearead.app.

Beyond this, the App is provided "as-is." The provider strives for error-free and uninterrupted availability but provides no guarantee. In particular, no guarantee is made that:

  • The App is compatible with all devices or operating system versions

The provider is not liable for damages caused by data loss if the user has not performed adequate data backups. Since all app data is stored locally, the responsibility for backups lies with the user.
