In this case, cabuu is entitled to delete any existing user account of the user after termination of the user agreement.
1.3 In addition to these Terms of Use, the regulations of the respective sales platform (for example Google Play for Android devices or Apple App Store for iOS devices) apply to the download of the cabuu App and the in-app purchase of the premium version of the cabuu App.
1.4 No usage contract is concluded with the respective sales platform. Cabuu and not distribution platforms are responsible for the cabuu App, also with regard to any support or maintenance or in the event that the cabuu App and/or this user contract should infringe the rights of third parties. The same applies to all claims of the user arising from the user contract, in particular but not exclusively regarding warranty for defects or other rights to disrupt performance as well as complaints of any kind regarding the fulfilment of legal or official requirements of the cabuu App. In the event of complaints, claims or questions regarding the cabuu app, the user shall contact cabuu. The contact details of cabuu are listed in these Terms of Use and can also be found in the imprint of the website www.cabuu.app/impressum.
1.5 The use of the cabuu App is only intended for consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB) (hereinafter referred to as the "User"). The User does not have to register to use the basic version of the cabuu App. However, without registration, the use of the services is restricted (see section 4).
1.6 Minors under the age of 14 may not download and use the cabuu App in its free basic version and in its premium version for which a charge is made without the consent of their legal guardian.
2.1 cabuu offers the cabuu App in a basic version and with an upgrade to the premium version.
2.2 Use of the basic version is free of charge. No fees are charged either for the use of the basic version or for the trial use of the premium version, nor for registration.
2.3 If the user decides to upgrade the basic version to the premium version, the use of the premium version after or outside the trial period is subject to a charge. Details of the premium version can be found in section 4 and section 14 of these terms of use.
3.1 The contract for the use of the basic version of the cabuu App including the granting of rights to use the App is concluded when the user taps the "Download" or "Install" button on the sales platform and agrees to these Terms of Use.
3.2 The contract for the use of the premium version of the cabuu App, including the granting of rights of use to the App, is concluded when the user taps the "Buy" button on the sales platform and agrees to these Terms of Use.

3.5 The user has no claim to the conclusion of a usage contract regarding the cabuu app as a whole or to individual or all functionalities of the cabuu app, in particular constant availability.
3.6 After downloading the cabuu App to the end device, the user can register in the App by entering a user name and e-mail address of his choice to create a user account. There is no entitlement to the allocation of a specific user name. Each user can only have one user account. The user's data will only be used in connection with the cabuu app and will not be passed on to third parties. After receipt of the registration, cabuu sends the user an automatic confirmation by e-mail. This e-mail contains a link through which the user can complete his registration. The registration is only completed when the user clicks on the link (so-called "double-opt-in"). The link is valid for 14 days. If it is not activated during this period, cabuu will delete the user's registration data after the 14 days have expired.
3.7 The basic version of the cabuu app can be used with or without registration. Registration is required to upgrade to the premium version.
4.1 The cabuu App is available for the operating systems iOS and Android via the sales platform "Apple App Store" under the title "cabuu - Vokabeln lernen" or "Google Play" under the title "cabuu - Vokabeln lernen" (hereinafter referred to as "sales platform").
4.2 The subject of these Terms of Use is the provision of the cabuu App for use together with the granting of the rights required for its contractual use in accordance with these Terms of Use.
4.3 The cabuu App provides the user with the following functionalities, among others:
4.3.1 The user can learn vocabulary in groups using vocabulary lists (hereinafter "learning lists").
4.3.2 In the basic version, after selecting a learning list, the user can learn this vocabulary in a "fast pass", in which the vocabulary is presented in learning and test units. In the learning units, vocabulary meanings are conveyed to the user by means of animations and graphics, among other things, in which the user has to become active himself/herself by finger gestures in some cases. In the test units, the user is tested on what he or she has learned by means of word puzzles. In the paid premium version, it is also possible, after selecting a learning list and entering a date as the target for learning the learning list, to have a learning plan created that contains daily vocabulary exercises for learning the vocabulary on the learning list until the specified date is reached. The daily vocabulary exercises include learning and testing units.
4.3.3 In the basic version, the user can create learning lists by manually entering word pairs, save them in the cabuu app and use them. In addition, he can download, save and use learning lists already provided by cabuu for specific topics. The user can download the basic version to several end devices used by him/her.
4.3.4 If the user has not registered, his learning lists are only available on the device on which he has created them. If the user has registered, his learning lists, his learning progress and his learning plan are available on all devices on which he has registered with this registration data.
4.3.5 The paid premium version includes additional functions that are not included in the free basic version. In the premium version, the user can also create learning lists by photographing printed lists of word pairs, which he can save and use in the cabuu app. He can also manually add to these learning lists, change them or delete all or part of them. These learning lists are also stored on the cabuu server and can therefore be used by the user on different end devices during the term of the premium version. To do this, the user must have installed the free basic version of the cabuu app on the end device they are using and log in to the cabuu app on the end device they are using.
4.3.6 The use of the premium version requires a paid upgrade, which can be acquired by means of an in-app purchase or a purchase via the website. For the use of the premium version, the user pays a monthly or annual fee during the term (see in detail under section 14).
4.4 cabuu makes every effort within its technical and organisational possibilities to make the cabuu App and its functionalities available at all times, but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. In particular, due to maintenance work, disruptions caused by the Internet or force majeure, usability may be restricted or completely suspended.
4.5 The cabuu App is subject to constant development, therefore cabuu reserves the right to change, delete, expand or offer the functionalities of the cabuu App as part of the basic version at any time, temporarily or permanently, at its own discretion. In the latter case, the user of the premium version is not entitled to a refund of any amounts already paid.
5.1 The use of the cabuu app requires the functionality and operational readiness of the user's end device and the user's mobile network. For example, the transfer of the photographed list of word pairs to the app is not available without an Internet connection. The functionality and operational readiness of the user's terminal device and the user's mobile network are not the subject of cabuu's services. The user is responsible for this and must bear any charges that may be incurred in this connection.
5.2 cabuu reserves the right to further develop the cabuu App. In order to use the cabuu App, it is therefore necessary in particular to keep the operating system of the end device and the cabuu App up to date. Adjustments to the cabuu app may also mean that older end devices in particular will not meet the requirements in the future or will only do so to a limited extent.
6.1 When concluding a distance selling transaction, consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal, which the supplier informs them of below in accordance with the statutory model. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
