1.2 Symba Health reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use within the existing contractual relationship, insofar as this is necessary to implement amended statutory requirements or amended supreme court rulings, due to changes in Symba's economic circumstances, changes in market conditions or due to technical changes or further developments of the services offered by Symba.

1.3 Symba will inform the user by e-mail at least five weeks before the planned change of the terms of use comes into force and point out that every user has the right to object to the changed terms of use within a period of six weeks from receipt of the notification to info@symbahealth.com. If the user objects within this period, Symba will inform the user by e-mail. If the user does not object within this period, this shall be deemed to be consent to the amendment. 

1.4 Symba is also entitled to change the presentation and functions of the Symba App in order to improve them, insofar as this does not involve essential contractual services.

​

2 Subscription to the Symba App

In order to be able to use the services and performances of the Symba App, it must be obtained from the shop available on the respective smartphone (Apple App Store / Google Play Store). Symba has no influence on the general terms and conditions that apply to the respective shop.

​

3 General requirements for use

3.1 The Symba App has been developed for parents with children suffering from chronic rare diseases. The indication is secondary, as the Symba App has a modular structure.

​

4. scope of services of the Symba App

4.4 Further details on the scope of the Symba App and its availability can be found on the Symba Health website at www.symbahealth.com.

​

5 Registration, conclusion of contract and onboarding

10. obligations of the users

10.1 Users are prohibited from assigning their rights and obligations arising from the Terms of Use in whole or in part to third parties or transferring them to third parties in any other way.

10.2 Users must protect their password to prevent third parties (including family members) from gaining access to their password and user account; users may only use the digital services themselves. If unauthorised use of the user account occurs, the user will inform Symba of this in writing without delay. The user remains responsible for unauthorised use of the Symba app. All declarations of intent made using the user's password or other user account information are effective for and against the user, unless the user has taken reasonable measures to protect his password and other user account information from access by third parties.

10.3 Users must provide Symba with true, accurate and complete personal information (in particular name, address and e-mail address) (hereinafter referred to as "personal information"), both at the time of registration and thereafter. Each user is also obliged to regularly update this personal information as well as all other information provided to Symba.

10.4 Users are prohibited from registering more than once, for another person or under a false identity.

10.5 The user undertakes not to transfer any material to the Symba app that contains viruses or other programs that could endanger or disrupt the functioning of software or hardware. If the user culpably violates this obligation, he will compensate Symba for the resulting damage and indemnify Symba against any claims for damages by third parties.

​

11 Rights of use and user fees

11.1 Unless otherwise agreed in individual cases, Symba hereby grants the user a limited, namely non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access, use and display the Symba App on the screen for private use in accordance with the provisions of these Terms of Use.

11.2 The User is not permitted to modify or adapt the Symba App in whole or in part (including the redistribution of such adaptations) without Symba's prior written consent.

11.3 Symba also draws the User's attention to the fact that additional charges may be incurred for connecting to the Symba App, in particular mobile phone charges, internet provider charges and taxes; these charges are to be borne by the User.

​

12 Accessibility of the App

12.1 Symba endeavours to offer the Symba App for retrieval without interruption. However, it cannot be ruled out that the connection to the Symba App will be interrupted, in particular due to technical or other problems that are beyond Symba's control (force majeure, fault of third parties, etc.). In such cases, Symba will endeavour to make the Symba App available for retrieval again as quickly as possible.

12.2 Symba is entitled to take the Symba App itself offline in whole or in part if this is necessary for maintenance purposes and to carry out repairs and if this is reasonable for the user.

​

13 Liability

13.1 Symba is liable without limitation in case of intent or gross negligence for all damages caused by Symba and its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

13.2 Symba is only liable for slight negligence in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, i.e. in the event of a breach of such an obligation which makes the proper fulfilment of the contract possible in the first place and on which the user has relied and was entitled to rely and/or the culpable non-fulfilment of which jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract (cardinal obligation). This liability in the event of a breach of such a material contractual obligation is limited in type and amount to the damage typical for the contract, the occurrence of which Symba and the user had to expect at the time of conclusion of the contract based on the circumstances known to them at that time.

13.3 The above limitations of liability do not apply to damage to health or physical injury for which Symba is responsible. The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

13.4 The above limitations of liability also apply mutatis mutandis in favour of Symba's employees, legal representatives and vicarious agents.

​

14 Offsetting

The user is only entitled to set-off against Symba with undisputed or legally binding counterclaims.

​

15. health advice

15.1 Symba is not a medical organisation and Symba employees are not in a position to give medical advice or make diagnoses. The Symba App therefore does not contain medical advice or diagnoses.

15.2 The Symba App is not a substitute for medical treatment.

​

16 Intellectual property

16.1 Symba and its licensors own the Symba App. The Symba App is comprehensively and effectively protected by industrial property rights.

16.2 The Symba App and its selection, coordination, arrangement and improvement are also comprehensively protected by copyright; Symba is the owner of the relevant copyrights or is entitled to use them as a licensee.

16.3 All trademarks used in the Symba App belong to the respective trademark owners.

16.4 Symba is the name and registered trademark of Symba Health Ltd. Symba points out that suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, contractual partners as well as other third parties may also hold industrial property rights in the content of the Symba App.

​

17. data protection

Symba endeavours to ensure the security of the user's personal data. Personal data of the user will only be collected and processed in compliance with the applicable legal provisions. 

​

18. final provisions

18.1 These Terms of Use are governed by German law, excluding the conflict of laws rules. In the case of consumers who do not conclude the contract for professional or commercial purposes, this choice of law shall only apply to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

18.2 Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid or contradict the statutory provisions, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining Terms of Use. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the parties by mutual agreement with a provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the invalid provision in a legally effective manner. The above provision shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of loopholes.

18.3 The EU Commission offers consumers the possibility of online dispute resolution on an online platform operated by it. This platform can be reached via the external link https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

18.4 These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between Symba and the User.
