(hereinafter "Provider") and the user (hereinafter "User" or "you") regarding the web application CrossVocab (hereinafter "Service" or "CrossVocab"), accessible at https://crossvo.cab.
CrossVocab is a web-based vocabulary learning platform that offers the following features:
Conditions of the User that deviate from these Terms will not be recognized unless the Provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.
The use of CrossVocab requires registration. During registration, you must provide a valid email address and choose a password. Upon completion of registration, a usage contract is concluded between you and the Provider.
The use of CrossVocab requires that you are at least 16 years old. Persons under 18 need the consent of their legal guardians, especially for the conclusion of paid subscriptions. By registering, you confirm that you meet these requirements.
You are obligated to keep your account information up to date and to keep your password confidential. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
CrossVocab is in public beta. During this phase, all features of the Service are available free of charge. The beta status is indicated on the website and in the application.
The duration of the beta phase is not fixed. The Provider will announce the end of the beta phase at least 30 days in advance via email to all registered users. This announcement will include information about the future pricing model and options for users.
During the beta phase, the use of CrossVocab is completely free. No payment obligations arise. Providing payment information is not required.
After the beta phase ends, CrossVocab may transition to a paid model. Possible models include:
Important: There will be no automatic conversion to a paid subscription. Any paid usage requires explicit, active consent from the user through a separate order process.
As CrossVocab is in beta phase, interruptions, errors, and unexpected issues may occur. The Provider strives to keep the Service stable but does not guarantee availability. Significant planned maintenance will be announced when possible.
Your data created during the beta phase (vocabulary lists, learning progress, etc.) will be retained and remain available to you after the beta phase ends. If you decide not to continue using the service after the beta phase, you have the option to:
Specific prices for CrossVocab will be announced before the beta phase ends. All prices include applicable VAT. The Provider reserves the right to change prices with reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days).
Payment processing is handled by an established payment service provider. Before subscribing to a paid plan, you will be informed about the payment service provider used and their terms of use. The billing amount is charged in advance according to the selected billing period.
Paid subscriptions automatically renew for the respective billing period unless cancelled before the end of the current period. Cancellation is possible at any time via account settings or by email.
As a consumer in the European Union, you generally have a right of withdrawal of 14 days after the conclusion of the contract.
Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (David Schwab, Draisstraße 24, 79106 Freiburg, Germany, email: info@crossvo.cab) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email).
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of Withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.
During the beta phase, usage is free. Withdrawal therefore results in no financial disadvantage. You can end your registration at any time by deleting your account.
When subscribing to a paid plan (after the beta phase), you expressly consent to us beginning the performance of the contract immediately, and you acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal upon complete performance of the contract. This consent is given during the checkout process through a corresponding confirmation.
During the beta phase, you can delete your account at any time without giving reasons. Deletion of the account terminates the usage contract with immediate effect. There are no contractual commitment periods.
For paid subscriptions, you can cancel at any time effective at the end of the current billing period. Cancellation can be made through the account settings in the application or by email to info@crossvo.cab.
After cancellation of a paid subscription, you will continue to have access to all features until the end of the paid period. Afterwards, your account will be reset to free status (if a freemium model is offered) or deactivated. Your data will be retained for a reasonable period.
The right to extraordinary cancellation for good cause remains unaffected for both parties. Good cause exists in particular if the User violates these Terms.
You can request the complete deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. This can be done through the account settings or by email.
You may use CrossVocab exclusively for private learning purposes. Use is limited to one user account per person.

If you do not object within 30 days of receiving the notification of changes, the amended Terms shall be deemed accepted. In case of objection, the Provider has a special right of termination.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers with habitual residence in the EU, mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of residence remain unaffected.
The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract is, to the extent legally permissible, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS): https://consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu/. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

The contract language is German. In case of discrepancies between the German and foreign language versions, the German version shall prevail.
