Terms of Service

1. Scope of application

1.1 These "Terms of Use" of Envoy Foundation apply to the Envoy Foundation App, available for download in various app stores and online (hereinafter the "App"), and to all services related to the App (the App and the services related to the App are hereinafter jointly referred to as "Services")

1.2 In case the App is provided via an app store, the Terms of Use apply in addition to the terms of use made available by Apple (as the operator of the iTunes / Apple app store), Google (as the operator of the Google Play store) or other providers (in the following collectively the "App Store Operators"). In the case of conflict, the present Terms of Use will take precedence over those of the App Store Operators with regard to the relationship between Envoy Foundation and the user of the Services ("User"). The App Store Operators are entitled, however, to assert the rights against the Users arising from the present Terms of Use directly against the Users.

1.3 Any terms and conditions of the User that deviate from or supplement these Terms of Use shall not apply.



2. Use of services

2.1 A prerequisite for the use of the Services is that the User has a device which complies with the current state of the art and which complies with the relevant specifications stated as minimum requirement in the respective app store. Moreover, the use of the Services requires an internet connection of the User that provides a sufficient data transmission rate as well as sufficient disk space on the User's device, for example to download and watch videos.

2.2 Unless this is unreasonable for the Users, Envoy Foundation reserves the right to adjust the Services to the market conditions and to improve, expand, change and delete Services in whole or in part on an ongoing basis.

2.3 The User must keep the device which is used to access the Services up to date.



3. Registration

Most functions of the App require a prior registration of the User, which will be effectuated on platform me.fan. The registration is free of charge. The User undertakes only to provide true and up to date data during registration. After completing the registration, Envoy Foundation creates an account for the User which the User can access with his/her access data.



4. Scope of services

4.1 The App provides its Users with various fan engagement activities. Those activities include, but are not limited to, news, videos, pools, discussion boards, shops.

4.2 The User can use a blockchain-based token within the App for certain activities ("Token"). Such Token is subject to the purchase terms available under "Token Purchase Terms". The Token Purchase Terms also describe some scenarios in which the Tokens may be used. The Token is not tradeable and may only be transferred as directed on the platform, with legally binding effect, that the Tokens shall be transferrable also to third parties.

4.3 Envoy Foundation provides custody services to the Users, which means that we store the Tokens (i.e. the private key necessary to dispose of the Token) on behalf of the Users. The Users do not have a right to receive the private key, unless Envoy Foundation has publicly announced, with legally binding effect, that the Tokens shall be transferrable also to third parties (see section 4.2). In this case, the Users are entitled to receive the private key.



5. Provision of the App; Warranty; Liability; maintenance and service

5.1 The Services are provided free of charge, unless it is expressly mentioned in the App that a Service in the individual case is only provided against payment of a fee, which can be either in Euro, another state currency or Tokens.

5.2 The User's right to use the Services is limited to the term of this agreement and is revocable, non-exclusive, not sub-licensable and not transferable.

5.3 In case of defects in the Services, Envoy Foundation is entitled to provide an updated version of the App in the respective app store and User is obliged to install such updated version on his device. In case of minor defects, the warranty is excluded.

5.4 In any case of simple negligence each party is liable for the breach of a contractual obligation which gives distinction to the agreement and on which the other party may rely on (essential obligation) and limited to the typical and foreseeable damage only; this exception does not apply to culpable damage to life, body or health nor in cases of mandatory liability including without limitation liability resulting from the German Product Liability Act or the EU General Data Protection Regulation. In addition, strict liability for defects that already existed at the time of conclusion of the agreement is excluded. Liability for indirect damages, including loss of profit, is excluded.

5.5 Regardless of section 5.4, the following applies to Services which are provided by Envoy Foundation free of charge:

5.5.1 Envoy Foundation does not give any warranty of any kind.

5.5.2 Envoy Foundation's liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. Strict liability for defects that already existed at the time of conclusion of the agreement is excluded.

Envoy Foundation reserves the right to restrict access to the App or the possibility of its use temporarily in whole or in part if this is necessary due to capacity limits or the security or integrity of the servers or to carry out technical measures serving the purpose of providing the Services properly or with improvements (e.g. for maintenance work). If reasonably possible, Envoy Foundation shall conduct maintenance work in the App during after 8.p.m. and before 8 a.m.
