Terms of service

Provider

VLOGLog is provided by Sven Schöffel, Badener Str. 5, 91126 Schwabach, Germany, contact: sven@socialwarrior.de.

Scope

These terms apply to all users of VLOGLog — whether you use the app in a browser, as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your home screen, or via team access. Your conflicting or supplementary terms do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree in writing. You must be at least 16 years old or have parental consent.

Contract formation

The usage contract is formed when you register or first use VLOGLog and accept these terms at the same time. By clicking "Register" or using the service, you confirm that you have read and accept these terms.

Service description

VLOGLog is a web-based tool for capturing on-set timestamps and markers and exporting them in common editing formats (e.g. TXT, CSV, FCP7-XML).

VLOGLog is provided as a Progressive Web App. There is no entitlement to distribution via app stores, specific browsers, devices, operating systems, or a particular feature set. We may add, change, or discontinue features.

Availability & maintenance

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, updates, third-party outages (e.g. hosting), or force majeure may cause temporary downtime.

Usage rights

We grant you a simple, non-transferable, revocable right to use VLOGLog for private or professional purposes within these terms. All rights to the software, design, trademarks, and other content of VLOGLog remain with us. Reproduction, decompilation, reverse engineering, or redistribution of the service is prohibited except where mandatory law allows.

Your content & data

You retain all rights to your logs, project data, and other content you enter. You grant us the right to store, process, synchronise, and — where triggered by you — export this content to operate the service.

You are solely responsible for ensuring your content is lawful and does not infringe third-party rights. We are not obliged to proactively review user content.

User obligations

• Keep credentials confidential and protect against unauthorised access
• Use VLOGLog only lawfully and for its intended purpose
• Do not use malware, automated mass queries, or security attacks
• Do not infringe third-party rights (copyright, trademarks, personality rights)
• Regularly back up your logs using the export feature
• Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use of your account

Account & access

Solo use requires email registration. Team use may use a team password or invitation. Information provided must be accurate.

You are responsible for all activity under your account. We may temporarily suspend or permanently delete accounts for violations, security risks, or abuse.

Fees

Use of VLOGLog is currently free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid features or plans in the future. You will be notified in good time of material fee changes; paid services require renewed consent before charging.

Liability

We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body, or health. Liability under product liability law remains unaffected.

For slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, our liability is limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Essential obligations are those whose fulfilment enables proper use of VLOGLog in the first place. Otherwise, liability for slightly negligent breaches is excluded.

VLOGLog is provided "as is" and without express or implied warranty — in particular without any assurance of uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, accuracy of timestamps/markers, compatibility with third-party software, or permanent storage of content.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost profits, indirect or consequential damage, production downtime, reputational harm, loss or corruption of data, costs of data recovery or replacement, or damage arising from missing or inadequate backups by you, misuse, unsuitable hardware/software, or disruptions at third-party providers (e.g. hosting, CDN, internet providers).

For data loss, technical failures, sync conflicts, faulty exports, or any other damage arising from use, we are liable only within the limits of paragraphs 1 and 2. You must regularly back up your content yourself (especially via the export feature). Damage that could have been avoided by adequate backup is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability — except in the cases in paragraph 1 — is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event causing the damage; for free use, to EUR 50. Mandatory law remains unaffected.

Indemnification

You shall indemnify us against all third-party claims arising from unlawful use by you, content you submit, or breach of these terms — including reasonable legal defence costs, to the extent permitted by law.

Force majeure

We are not liable for service disruptions due to events beyond our control (e.g. power outages, internet failures, natural disasters, official orders, third-party failures).

Term & termination

The contract runs for an indefinite period. You may stop using the service at any time and — where available — delete your account.

We may suspend access or terminate the contract for cause without notice — in particular for abuse, security risks, or repeated violations. You should export your data before termination; we may delete stored data after a reasonable period.

Changes

We may update these terms when valid reasons require it (e.g. legal changes, new features, security requirements).

Material changes will be communicated appropriately (e.g. in the app or by email). If you do not object within 30 days of notification and continue using the service, the updated terms are deemed accepted. We will inform you of the right to object and the consequences of silence.

Privacy

The processing of personal data is governed by our privacy policy, which is an integral part of using VLOGLog.

Privacy

Severability

If individual provisions of these terms are or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose.

Online dispute resolution

The EU Commission offers an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither required nor, as a rule, prepared to participate in consumer arbitration proceedings, unless mandatory law obliges us to do so.

Governing law & jurisdiction

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected.

If the user is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Schwabach, Germany. Otherwise, statutory places of jurisdiction apply.
