The use of the App Stores (Apple Store, Google Play) is subject to its own terms and conditions, which can be found on the App Store operator’s website; meisight has no influence on these terms and conditions or the operation of the App Stores. However, meisight, not the respective App Store operator, is solely responsible for the operation of the App.

meisight expressly reserves the right to update and adapt these terms of use due to changes in the law, the highest court of law or changes in market conditions. The user will be informed separately in text form about changes to the terms of use. The changes are considered approved if the user does not object to them in text form within one calendar month. meisight will also separately inform the user of this legal consequence.
2. Registration and user account
2.1
In order to use all features in the app, a registration is required first. The registration is done by creating a user account or via a single sign-on by using an existing social media account. In order to create the respective user account, the information requested in the registration form must be provided. After submitting the registration data, the user should confirm his registration by clicking on a link sent by e-mail.
2.2
In the event of input errors during registration, the user has the opportunity to correct his data at any time in his profile settings or by re-registering.

2.4
In case a user authorizes meisight to create an account on his behalf via any verifiable channel, he accepts these terms and conditions.
3. Conditions of use
3.1
The use of the app requires the download and installation on a suitable device (e.g. smartphone) of the user. For some devices and operating systems, the app may not be available for technical reasons. However, meisight strives to offer the app for as many different models and operating systems as possible. Due to the constantly changing product ranges on the mobile device market, meisight cannot provide an up-to-date list of all devices and operating systems with which the app can be used.
3.2
The user alone is responsible for the compatibility of the device. The system requirements can be found in the respective App Store.

These terms of use are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. The statutory provisions restricting the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory provisions, in particular of the state in which the user as a consumer has his habitual residence, shall remain unaffected.
11.2
If the user is an entrepreneur in the sense of § 14 BGB (German Civil Code) or a legal entity under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from and in connection with these terms of use is meisight’s place of business.

Should individual provisions of these terms of use be or become invalid, the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In their place the law will apply. If the law is not available or would lead to an unacceptable result in the respective case due to a gap in the regulations, the parties will enter into negotiations to find an effective provision that comes as close as possible to the ineffective provision.
