Terms of Use
These Terms of Use for the Nichtraucher Pro app (internationally "Quit Smoking Pro") reproduce the contract sections of the app's unified legal document; section numbering follows the full document. The Privacy Policy is available at Privacy Policy, the publicly accessible community rules at Community Guidelines.
26. Terms of Use
By using the app you agree to these terms of use. We grant you a simple, non-transferable right to use the app for your personal purposes.
You are responsible for keeping your access credentials confidential and for actions taken through your account. You agree not to use the app abusively, unlawfully, or in a way that impairs other users or the operation of the app.
27. Contract Parties for Purchase and Use
The purchase and payment contract for the app and for in-app purchases is concluded with Apple (Apple Distribution International Ltd.) or Google as the seller (merchant of record). These terms of use govern the use of the app between you and the operator.
Price, tax, cancellation, refund, and withdrawal follow the terms of the respective store.
You can also use the app as a guest, without an account. As a guest you can read, but you cannot post content of your own: no posts, comments, messages, profile text, or images. You can still report. If you convert your guest account into a full account, your progress is kept.
28. Community, User-Generated Content, and Moderation
You remain responsible for the content you upload (posts, comments, messages, images). Upload only content for which you hold the necessary rights.
You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable license limited to operating, delivering, and securing the service: storage, backup and caching, technical and format conversion, transmission to the intended recipients for private messages and to the public for content you post publicly, and use by the hosting and infrastructure processors. This license ends on deletion, except for content that remains in anonymized form and records subject to statutory retention.
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users.
- Unlawful, harassing, hateful, violence-glorifying, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable content is prohibited.
- Also prohibited: encouraging self-harm or suicide, glorifying or promoting eating disorders, advertising or selling tobacco, nicotine, and related products, fraud and misleading offers, publishing other people’s personal data, and content you hold no rights to.
- Writing about your own withdrawal, relapses, frustration, and low moods is explicitly welcome and is never a violation. Saying which aids helped you personally is allowed too; only promoting or selling a specific product is not.
- You can report content and people and block people.
- Public posts are visible to others; there is no guarantee that public content stays private.
Every report triggers an automated review of the reported content within 24 hours, and usually within minutes. Content that the review objects to is withheld until a decision is made, so it is no longer visible to others. A person then looks at the case.
The possible measures are withholding and permanently removing content, a warning, restricting an account (for example to read-only, possibly with the profile text hidden), and suspending an account; a restriction or suspension can be lifted again. Which one we take depends on how serious the violation is and whether it is repeated; we decide case by case and record the reason for every measure. There is deliberately no fixed ladder.
Withheld content stays visible to you, so that you can object to the decision. If you do not object, it is permanently removed seven days after the notice. An objection pauses that deadline until a person has decided.
As a service provider, we are responsible for user-generated content only once we obtain knowledge of a specific illegality and fail to act (Sections 7 to 10 DDG, Art. 6 DSA).
29. Contact and Notice Points
Under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act) we provide a single point of contact for users and for authorities. It is reachable at supportepiclappscom, is handled by a person, and can be addressed in German and English.
You and third parties can report illegal content or violations electronically. The app offers a reporting route on every post, every comment, and every profile. A report should make clear what it is about: the reason from the list provided and, where needed, a short explanation. The more precise the report, the better we can place it. We acknowledge receipt immediately in the app.
Once your report has been decided, we tell you the outcome, including when we reviewed the content and left it up. The notice states the decision, the date, whether it was reached by automated means, and the address for challenging it. You will find it in the app under “My reports”. Legal remedies and the option to turn to an out-of-court dispute settlement body or the competent supervisory authority remain unaffected.
How we moderate: content is screened automatically first. We use classification models and a language model for this, running on our own servers. If that screening finds a possible violation, the content is withheld until a decision is made. A person then looks at the case. These models do not cover every language equally well; content in a language they do not cover is put in front of a person rather than cleared unchecked. Content carried over from the previous version of this app has not been through this screening retroactively; for those items it applies as soon as they are reported or edited again.
If content of yours is removed or restricted, you receive a statement of reasons. It names the ground, the date, the category concerned, and explicitly whether automated means were used and whether a person has already reviewed it. You can object in the app or by email; an objection is handled by a person.
Please send removal orders concerning terrorist content under Regulation (EU) 2021/784 to supportepiclappscom. That address is the point of contact within the meaning of Art. 15(1) of the Regulation. The Regulation requires removal within one hour of receiving the order; please therefore mark such orders as urgent in the subject line so that they are recognisable immediately.
30. No Medical Advice
The app provides information and progress indicators for quitting smoking, but no medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not replace advice from medical professionals. No treatment relationship is created.
The app is not a medical device and has no intended purpose of diagnosing, treating, or curing disease. Displayed values are estimates for motivation, not medical measurements. For health questions, consult medical professionals. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.
31. Availability, Changes, and Liability
We strive for reliable operation but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.
Features may be changed, added, or discontinued only for objectively justified reasons, such as security, changed legal or regulatory requirements, technical necessity, or further development; core functions are preserved. We announce material changes with reasonable advance notice, and you have a right to object and to terminate (Section 308 No. 4 BGB). Paid entitlements are not discontinued at will; if a paid feature is retired, it is handled via the refund process of the respective store.
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for damage arising from injury to life, body, or health. For slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of essential contractual duties (cardinal duties - duties whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you regularly rely) and limited in amount to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.
Liability under the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), for an assumed guarantee, and for fraudulently concealed defects remains unaffected (Section 309 No. 7 BGB).
32. Updates for Digital Products
For the paid digital product we provide the updates needed to maintain conformity for the period you can reasonably expect as a consumer, including security updates, and we inform you of them (Section 327f BGB).
You are responsible for installing the updates provided. Your statutory conformity rights remain unaffected.
33. Store Terms and Subscription Management
- Billing is handled by Apple or Google. Displayed prices may include local taxes.
- A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in the account of the respective store.
- A lifetime purchase is a one-time payment for the relevant store context.
- Cancellations and refunds follow the rules of Apple or Google. The app cannot cancel subscriptions itself; it links to the store management instead.
- A gift purchase is concluded with the respective store, cannot be redeemed for cash, and a gifted entitlement can be revoked on refund, chargeback, or fraud.

34. Right of Withdrawal for Digital Content
A statutory 14-day right of withdrawal generally applies to digital purchases. For purchases made through Apple or Google, the respective store is your contracting seller; at checkout it obtains your express consent to immediate provision and your acknowledgment that the right of withdrawal thereby lapses (Section 356(6) BGB, Art. 16(m) Consumer Rights Directive). The store administers withdrawal and refunds.
Should the operator ever sell directly (e.g. via its website), it will provide a separate withdrawal instruction.
35. Consumer Dispute Resolution
The operator is a sole trader with no more than ten employees and is therefore not obligated under Section 36 VSBG, and is not willing, to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).
36. External Links
The app may contain links to external sites (e.g. the supervisory authority, store management, third-party privacy notices). Before opening an external link we let you know that you are leaving the app. The operators of external sites are responsible for their content.
37. Formation, Term, and Termination
The usage contract is formed by installing and using the app and is separate from the purchase contract with the respective store.
You may end the usage contract at any time by ceasing use and deleting your account. The operator may suspend or terminate it for good cause, in particular for serious or repeated breaches; effects on paid entitlements are handled through the respective store. The contract language is German; the English version is a convenience translation.
38. Governing Law and Final Provisions
German law applies. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in another EU or EEA state, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of that state remain unaffected (Art. 6 Rome I Regulation). No exclusive place of jurisdiction adverse to consumers is agreed.
Should a provision of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. We communicate changes to these terms in text form (Section 126b BGB); where they are material, we obtain your renewed agreement.
