§ 3 Service

  1. Planaberry is a web application developed and operated by Lavndr that can be accessed via a web browser. With Planaberry, the User can obtain an overview of their pension and provision situation or asset situation in the future. The projections provided are simulative and are based on financial mathematical formulas and iterative algorithms. The prerequisite for this is the input of personal financial data, pension information and details of future sources of income, such as investments, company pension schemes, pension insurance, etc.

  2. Lavndr reserves the right to use subcontractors to provide the services.

  3. The services provided by Lavndr are expressly not services in the area of financial services requiring a permit, investment advice and/or investment brokerage and/or other activities requiring a permit by law.

  4. It should be noted that the calculation basis on which the expected pension situation at retirement age in Planaberry is calculated has been prepared to the best of our knowledge and belief. As the pension situation at retirement age depends on factors and developments that cannot be foreseen in some cases, the results are only intended as a guideline. No guarantee can be given that the values determined in the context of Planaberry represent the actual pension entitlements and/or the actual provision and asset situation at retirement age. In this respect, Lavndr only provides the results of a calculation according to the current state of the art and state of knowledge.

§ 4 Access to Planaberry and data processing

  1. The Software is provided to the User as Software as a Service (SaaS). The software is accessed via secure and encrypted connections. Details of the respective offer can be found in the product description on our website www.planaberry.de.

  2. The entry of financial information is necessary and serves exclusively to provide an overview of retirement planning. No financial transactions can be carried out via Planaberry; the app serves to visualize and support independent planning. Planaberry collects, stores and processes user data only within the framework of the statutory provisions and in accordance with the privacy policy. The User expressly consents to the user of their data to provide the services. If sensitive personal data is collected, Lavndr undertakes to obtain the prior consent of the User. Data will not be passed on to third parties unless the User has previously consented. Lavndr is not liable for any security gaps in the transmission of data over the Internet. The User has the right to have data deleted. In addition, the User has the right to request information about the data stored about them free of charge.
  3. Lavndr uses external data sources as the basis for some of the services offered. Some of this data is transferred to Planaberry's systems without prior verification. Lavndr therefore reserves the right to correct data subsequently.
  4. Lavndr shall make the services available to the User for retrieval via the website for the duration of the contractual relationship. Lavndr sets up the services on one of its servers, which is accessible to the User via the Internet. Lavndr is only responsible for the availability of the services on its own servers.

§ 5 Use and availability of the service

  1. Lavndr endeavors to make the software available without interruptions. However, no liability can be assumed for temporary unavailability of the software. Lavndr may temporarily limit the availability if it is necessary with regard to capacity limits, the security or integrity of the servers or to carry out technical maintenance or repair measures and this serves the proper or improved provision of services. In such cases, Lavndr shall take into account the legitimate interests of the User, e.g. by providing information in advance.

  2. The User is responsible for providing a suitable terminal device and a sufficient Internet connection. The User is also obliged to notify Lavndr immediately of any defects.
  3. Lavndr reserves the right to discontinue the provision of the services for good cause. An important reason exists in particular if the continuation of the service is no longer economically viable for Lavndr or if legal conditions make it impossible to continue the service.
  4. In the event of a discontinuation of our services, there is no entitlement to reimbursement of any fees already paid for current annual subscriptions. This provision is expressly agreed and acknowledged when the subscription is taken out.

§ 6 General obligations of the user – Copyrights

The User undertakes to refrain from doing anything that could impair the infrastructure, functionality or one or more features of www.planaberry.de in any way. Any use of third-party software and any extraction or external processing of data is not permitted.

§ 8 Terms of payment

Payments for fee-based plans are made via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. ("Stripe"), to which Lavndr assigns its payment claims.

Stripe is authorized to collect the invoice amount via the payment method selected by the User. In the event of an assignment, a payment can therefore only be made to Stripe with debt-discharging effect.

The payment method is debited immediately after the order has been placed on the website. Irrespective of the payment method selected, Lavndr remains the responsible contact for general user inquiries.

The GTC of Stripe can be viewed at https://stripe.com/de/legal/consumer.

§ 9 Changes to fees and services

Lavndr is free to change the subscription fees and other prices at its reasonable discretion in order to compensate for increased costs for the provision of Planaberry. Decisive for the calculation of these costs are, for example, consts for administration, costs arising from the maintenance and operation of the necessary IT infrastructure, financial costs, taxes, fees and other charges. Changes to the statutory value added tax lead to an adjustment of the subscription fees.

Price changes shall come into effect at the earliest 30 days after the User has been notified of an impending price increase, but at the earliest for the next billing period for the respective subscription. In this case, the User shall also have the ordinary right of termination.

§ 10 Granting of rights

  1. Lavndr is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights to the web application provided, the Planaberry brand and the content on the website and all associated subdomains.

  2. Lavndr grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable right, limited in time to the term of the contract, to use the services via the website as intended and only for their own purposes.

  3. The granting of use by Lavndr to the User is not associated with any transfer or granting of any property rights.

The right to withdraw does not apply to distance contracts which

  1. for the delivery of goods which have been manufactured according to the customer's specifications or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs or which are not suitable for return due to their nature or which can spoil quickly or whose expiration date has been exceeded,

  2. for the delivery of audio or video recordings or software, provided that the User has unsealed the data carriers supplied,

  3. as the main performance obligation, the delivery of digital content not on a physical data carrier, which is not prefabricated and for the production of which an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which is clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer, and if Lavndr has begun with the execution of the contract after the User has given their express consent that Lavndr shall begin with the execution of the contract before the end of the withdrawal period and has confirmed their knowledge that they will lose their right of withdrawal by giving their consent with the beginning of the execution of the contract. We would like to point out that we can make the conclusion of the contract dependent on the aforementioned consent and confirmation. The declaration of consent to be provided reads: "I understand and agree that Planaberry (Lavndr GmbH) will start providing the service immediately, before the withdrawal period ends. I'm aware that this means I will lose my right to withdraw once the service has been fully delivered."

§ 12 Exclusion of liability

  1. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Lavndr shall only pay damages or compensation for futile expenses to the extent specified below:

    1. Lavndr shall only be liable for damages incurred if these are based on breaches of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) or on intentional or grossly negligent conduct by Lavndr, Lavndr's legal representatives or vicarious agents. A breach of cardinal obligations within the meaning of this provision exists in the event of a breach of obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract or the breach of which endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on the observance of which the User may regularly rely.
    2. Any further liability for damages is excluded. The liability of Lavndr, its legal representatives and vicarious agents for culpable injury to life, body or health in accordance with the statutory provisions remains unaffected by this, as well as for a defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the goods and in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect. This also applies to mandatory liability under the Product Liability Act.
    3. The objection of contributory negligence on the part of the User remains unaffected.
    4. Lavndr shall only be liable for the loss of data up to the amount that would have been incurred if the data had been properly and regularly backed up in order to restore it.
  2. The User shall be directly and personally liable for any infringement of third-party rights and for any violation of statutory regulations or requirements. The User undertakes to indemnify Lavndr against all claims for damages by third parties arising from non-compliance with the obligations under these General Terms and Conditions or from a breach by the User of statutory regulations or requirements.
  3. Lavndr shall not be liable for damages caused by force majeure, riots, war, natural disasters or other events for which it is not responsible (e.g. strikes, lockouts, traffic disruptions, orders from higher authorities at home or abroad).
  4. Lavndr stores the User's data with the utmost care. Nevertheless, a partial or complete loss of a User's data, both with regard to personal data and the data in connection with the use of the services, cannot be completely ruled out. Lavndr's liability for the data loss of any kind is excluded.
