Terms of Use
These terms apply to the use of the ShiftAlarm mobile app.
1. Provider and scope
The provider is Marcel Nitsch, ShiftAlarm, Eschmarer Str. 23, 53859 Niederkassel, Germany. Contact: support.shiftalarm@gmail.com. The terms of Apple App Store or Google Play also apply.
2. Service
ShiftAlarm helps users organise shifts, templates, rotations, personal and work appointments, leave, absences, overtime, reminders, alarms, widgets, reports, exports and local backups. Individual features may depend on device, operating system, permissions, region and selected plan.
3. Free use and account
Core features can be used without a registered account. Account-related functions and the purchase or restoration of ShiftAlarm Pro require a registered account. Depending on the platform, email and password, Google or Apple may be offered. Login credentials must be kept secure; using another person's account or circumventing access controls is prohibited.
4. Not an authoritative work schedule
ShiftAlarm is an organisational tool. It does not replace binding duty rosters, employer notices, collective agreements, payroll records or statutory documentation. Entries, calculations and exports must be checked before important use.
5. Alarms and notifications
Delivery depends on the operating system, device state, volume, focus mode, battery settings and permissions. Uninterrupted or second-accurate delivery cannot be guaranteed. ShiftAlarm must not be used as the sole warning system for safety-critical, medical or life-critical purposes.
6. Local data and backups
Users are responsible for checking their data and creating local backups when needed. Local data can be lost when the app is deleted, the device is reset or damaged, or a backup file is incomplete. ShiftAlarm currently does not automatically synchronise shift and calendar data to the cloud.
7. ShiftAlarm Pro and subscriptions
Prices, currency, duration, trials and included features are displayed by the relevant store before purchase. If a trial is not cancelled through the store in time, it may become paid and renew automatically under the store's rules. The information shown in the Apple or Google purchase dialog is authoritative.
Subscriptions can only be managed and cancelled through the relevant Apple or Google account. Deleting the app or a ShiftAlarm account does not cancel a store subscription. Eligible purchases may be restored using the in-app restore function.
8. Administrative entitlements and gifts
Voluntary administrative Pro or item entitlements may be time-limited, personal and non-transferable. They are not store purchases and do not create a right to cash payment, exchange or permanent continuation unless expressly agreed.
9. Acceptable use
Prohibited conduct includes abusive access, manipulating purchase or Pro status, automated overloading of services and interference with security mechanisms.
10. Changes and availability
ShiftAlarm may be developed further and adapted technically. Essential paid functions will not be removed arbitrarily. Maintenance, store review and third-party service outages may temporarily affect availability.
11. Liability
Statutory liability rules apply. To the extent permitted by law, liability for ordinary negligence is limited to breaches of material contractual obligations and foreseeable, typical damage. Liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health and mandatory statutory claims remains unaffected.
12. Termination and deletion
The app may be uninstalled and a registered account deleted at any time. Store subscriptions must be cancelled separately through the relevant store. See Delete account and data.
13. Governing law
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country in which the user habitually resides remain unaffected.
14. Changes to these terms
Changes will be communicated in an appropriate way. For existing subscriptions, changes apply only to the extent permitted by law.
