Welcome to REVIERWELT!

We, Revierwelt Media GmbH, are pleased to welcome you to our website and our comprehensive range of online hunting services. Revierwelt Media is a provider of the hunting ground management software “REVIERWELT” with an integrated social network and the possibility of online communication. The range of multimedia services offered by REVIERWELT is rounded off by an offer to purchase products relating to the use of REVIERWELT and the subject area of hunting and nature – hereinafter referred to collectively as ‘our services’.

This user agreement governs the use of REVIERWELT and all associated services and thus represents the contractual basis between you as the user and us as the provider of the services of REVIERWELT.

A. REVIERWELT – The whole hunt in one place.

Our intention is to give hunters and people interested in hunting the opportunity to form communities, exchange ideas and bring the world of hunting closer together. With REVIERWELT, we go one step further and offer a place that not only enables active exchange and communication between all those involved in the hunting group, but also provides comprehensive services – also outside the hunting group – to support the entire hunt.

Together – REVIERWELT records and coordinates all hunting activities. From simple functions such as recording route reports and creating the hunting ground map to automatic trap monitoring or GPS dog tracking, REVIERWELT offers everything you need for everyday hunting – all in one place!

Reliable – REVIERWELT is always at your side with numerous supporting functions. No matter where you are: You and your hunters always have the hunting group under control. All the information about your hunt is available to you – whenever you need it. All data is reliably synchronized between the hunting ground members and kept up to date.

Safe – REVIERWELT ensures safety in hunting operations: All hunters in a hunting group are automatically notified of new activities. For example, if you create a new hide reservation, all members of the hunting ground will be informed. If you send an SMS or e-mail to Revierwelt, it is saved in the hunting ground book and immediately distributed to all members of the hunting ground.

REVIERWELT offers two different areas of use under one interface. The open area of the social network for all registered REVIERWELT users, in which we also present additional information and offers, and the closed area for the hunting management of your hunting group.

The closed area offers these functions in the sense of a closed user group for simple, open and fast communication and the secure exchange of data within the hunting group. Each hunting group is a closed user group within which all participants can communicate openly with each other and share their respective data and actions with other users for viewing and use. A closed user group is set up by any user, who then also becomes the owner of the closed user group, can add further users to the group or remove them from it and manages the authorizations within the group. The owner can transfer ownership to another user at any time. By adding data to the closed user group, you grant the owner of the closed user group unrestricted, irrevocable and transferable usage rights to all added content and data.

In order to promote this intention of “the whole hunt in one place”, we provide you with the services of REVIERWELT and offer a forum for exchange among like-minded people.

Our data processing aims to offer you a unique user experience. The close integration of the various REVIERWELT services and online communication in one world, REVIERWELT, sets REVIERWELT apart from other services.

We use the data available to us – for example about the content you provide in the open area and the services you use – to personalize your user experience. To do this, we present you with posts, hunting information, events, advertisements and other content that you can see on the REVIERWELT wall, as well as the information you subscribe to, notifications and other functions and services you may use on REVIERWELT.

We offer you the opportunity to communicate and exchange ideas on hunting-related topics:

• In the open area, there are many ways to communicate via REVIERWELT and exchange ideas with hunting friends, hunting ground members and others on the topics that are important to you – for example, by posting messages on your pinboard, sharing photos, videos and news via the REVIERWELT services you use, sending messages to a hunting friend or several users, creating events or groups or adding content to your profile.
• In the closed area, we offer you a REVIER pinboard in addition to the hunting management, which is only accessible to hunting group members.

We help you to discover content, products and services in the hunting environment that may be of interest to you:

• We allow us to show you advertisements, offers and other sponsored content in the open area to present you with content, products and services offered by the many companies and organizations that use REVIERWELT and other REVIERWELT services. Our partners pay us to show you their content. We design our services so that the sponsored content you see is as relevant and useful to you as anything else you can see and experience on REVIERWELT.

We support our users and are committed to combating unfair behavior:

• An open and honest exchange among hunters and people interested in hunting is only possible if all users feel safe on REVIERWELT. We use techniques to detect misuse of our services, harmful behavior towards others and situations where we may be able to help support and protect our users. If we become aware of content or behavior that is contrary to our Acceptable Use Policy or ethical and moral sharing, we will take appropriate action, such as offering assistance, removing content, blocking access to certain services and features, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement.

We are exploring ways to improve our services:

• We actively develop our services and work with others to improve our products. One way we do this is by analyzing the data available to us to understand how you and others use our services.

We enable global access to our services:

• REVIERWELT is a global, Internet-based platform for all users interested in hunting. In order to operate our global service, we must store and distribute content and data in the data centers and systems we use, including in countries outside the country in which you use our services. There is a central storage location for each region where we keep our systems and data storage. For our users in Europe, this is currently a data center in Germany. This infrastructure is operated by RevierWELT Media itself or by a third party commissioned by Revierwelt Media.

B. Our privacy policy

We collect and use your personal data to provide you with the REVIERWELT services described above and to customize them to your personal preferences. We explain how we collect and use your data in our privacy policy.

C. Your obligations towards REVIERWELT and other users

Registration is required for key areas of REVIERWELT and its services. Registration requires truthful and complete personal details.

We reserve the right to check the user’s personal details to the extent permitted by law. We also reserve the right to block access to REVIERWELT at any time. Access will be blocked in particular if a user has provided false personal information during registration or has otherwise violated this user agreement.

With REVIERWELT, we want to achieve our goal of creating a place where all hunters and hunting enthusiasts can meet, communicate and exchange ideas. However, this also requires that all users adhere to common rules, without which cooperation will not work well in either the real or the virtual world. It is therefore necessary for you to make the following commitments:

1. who may use REVIERWELT?

Open and honest communication is important to us. In a forum where statements and opinions are exchanged, everyone must stand behind their actions and be accountable for them. This is the only way to make REVIERWELT a place where we treat each other with respect and openness. For this reason, every user of REVIERWELT:

• I identify with his real name used in everyday life
• keep his password secret and not make it accessible to third parties
• not grant third parties access to your own user account or transfer it to third parties without our express consent
• create only one user account and use it personally for your own purposes

We try to make REVIERWELT available comprehensively and for everyone. However, the use of REVIERWELT is not permitted if:

• you are under 16 years old

or

• we have deactivated or deleted your account in the past due to violations of our terms of use.

2. what are you allowed to do on REVIERWELT?

We want people interested in hunting to use REVIERWELT to exchange ideas and share content that is important to them. However, this must not be done at the expense of the safety and well-being of others or the integrity of other users. Therefore, by logging on to REVIERWELT, you agree not to engage in the actions and behaviors described below:

• You may not use our Services to do or communicate anything to which the following applies:
  • It violates these terms of use.
  • It is unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or fraudulent.
  • It violates legal or official prohibitions or morality.
  • It is pornographic, offensive, threatening, harassing, vulgar, racist, otherwise discriminatory or otherwise objectionable.
  • It violates or infringes the rights of another person.
  • It is to be regarded as an abuse of REVIERWELT.
• You must not upload viruses or malicious code or do anything that could block, overburden or impair the proper working or appearance of our services.
• You may not use automated procedures to access data from our services, collect such data or attempt to access data for which you do not have access authorization.

For all content communicated by you and uploaded to REVIERWELT, you guarantee that you can freely dispose of this content, especially to the extent of the rights granted to REVIERWELT Media, and that the content does not impair or infringe the rights of third parties, in particular the right to your own image, general personal rights (e.g. right to a name), trademark rights (e.g. trademark rights), other industrial property rights and/or copyrights or ancillary copyrights.

We may at any time remove content that you have uploaded or communicated in violation of these Terms and, if necessary, take action with respect to your user account for the reasons described below. We may also deactivate your user account at any time if you have repeatedly infringed the intellectual property rights of others or published content that is discriminatory towards hunters.

Where possible, we will notify you at our discretion if we remove your content due to a breach of our Acceptable Use Policy. It may not be possible to notify you in all cases, for example if we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons or if this could damage the integrity of our services.

In the event that you have violated an insurance policy mentioned in this section, in particular in the event that third parties assert rights against REVIERWELT Media within the meaning of the preceding paragraphs, you are obliged to indemnify REVIERWELT Media in full, including the costs of legal defense, unless you have exercised the care required in traffic. However, you are in any case obliged to support Revierwelt Media in its legal defense, in particular by providing information.

To safeguard our goals and support all users, we encourage you to report content or behavior that you believe violates your rights (including intellectual property rights) or our Terms of Use.

3. what authorization do you grant us?

In order to provide our services, we require the following authorizations from you:

• Authorization to use content created, communicated and transmitted by you to our services:The content you create, communicate and transmit on REVIERWELT and the REVIERWELT services belongs to you. You are free to communicate, download, share and exploit your content and grant rights to third parties to do so wherever you wish. However, in order for us to provide our services, it is necessary that you grant us some legal permissions to use such content, in particular if you upload or communicate content protected by intellectual property rights (such as photos or videos) or in connection with our services on REVIERWELT, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable and global license to process, use, distribute, modify, copy, publicly perform or display, translate and create derivative works from your content. This license is for the sole purpose of providing you with our products. This means, for example, that when you upload a photo to REVIERWELT, you give us permission to store, copy and share it with others in order to perform the services we provide, including with the involvement of service providers who support our service, and you may terminate this license grant at any time by deleting your content or user account. However, we inform you now that, for technical reasons, content deleted by you may remain in backup copies for a limited period of time. (However, it will then no longer be visible to other users). In addition, content that you have deleted may still be visible to third parties if you have shared it with others or communicated it to third parties and these persons have not deleted it.

• Authorization to use your name, profile picture and information about your interactions with our services, advertisements and sponsored content:Your name and profile picture and information about the actions you have taken on REVIERWELT may be used alongside or in connection with REVIERWELT services, advertisements, offers and other sponsored content that we display in our open area without compensation to you. For example, we may indicate to other users within REVIERWELT that you are interested in an advertised product or event or have marked a page with “Waidmann’s like” that has been created by a third party who has paid us to display their advertisements on REVIERWELT. Ads like these can only be seen by people who have your permission to see the actions you take on REVIERWELT.

• Authorization to update the software you use or download: If you download or use our software or app, you grant us the authorization to download and install additional upgrades, updates and additional features to improve, optimize or further develop the software, even without explicit information.

4. restricting the use of our intellectual property

If you use content that is protected by intellectual property rights to which we are entitled and make it available in or on our services (e.g. images or videos provided by us that you add to content created or communicated by you on REVIERWELT ), we retain all rights to this content. You may only use our copyrights or trademarks if this has been expressly authorized by us. You may not modify our source code, create derivative works from it, decompile it or otherwise attempt to extract it.

Links to copyrighted content on the websites of Revierwelt Media or the services of REVIERWELT are only permitted if the links lead directly to the websites of Revierwelt Media or the respective services of REVIERWELT or if access blocks are not circumvented. The link must also be recognizable to third parties.

D. Use of chargeable services – contractual basis

The use of the open area of REVIERWELT and in particular the online communication services of REVIERWELT is free of charge.

The use of the closed areas, which among other things also enable the connection of end devices for the transmission, storage and processing of data (trackers, cameras, trap detectors, etc.), requires the conclusion of an additional contract. The applicable General Terms and Conditions are provided when the order is placed before a contract is concluded.

E. Further provisions

1. subject to availability

The services relating to REVIERWELT are provided by Revierwelt Media subject to reservation, in particular subject to their availability and/or compliance with the provisions of this user agreement by the respective user. Revierwelt Media neither guarantees a defined function, nor a specific availability, nor a specific performance of the services of REVIERWELT. Notwithstanding this, however, extensive measures are taken to ensure both the availability and the performance of REVIERWELT in such a way that a comprehensive user experience is guaranteed.

2. update of our terms of use

We are constantly working to improve our services and develop new features to make our services even better for you and all other users. This also means that we may need to amend or update these Terms of Use from time to time to ensure that they correctly and accurately reflect our Services and how we treat your content. As a rule, we only make changes if the provisions are no longer applicable or are incomplete. Changes will always be made with your interests in mind and only if they are reasonable for you. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you of the changes and the choices available to you at least 30 days in advance (through our Services or by email) and give you a reasonable opportunity to review them before they take effect. Once updated Terms of Use come into effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our products.

We hope that you will continue to use our services. However, if after review and consideration you decide that you do not agree to our updated Terms of Use and therefore no longer wish to use REVIERWELT, you can delete your user account at any time.

3. suspension or termination of REVIERWELT user accounts

We want REVIERWELT to be a place where hunting enthusiasts feel welcome and safe to express themselves and share their thoughts and ideas.

Our right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected by this. Good cause shall be deemed to exist in particular if a party breaches obligations arising from these Terms of Use, laws, third-party rights or data guidelines and the terminating party cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contractual relationship until the agreed termination date or until the expiry of a notice period, taking into account all circumstances of the individual case and after weighing the interests of both parties. Termination for good cause is only possible within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of the respective breach.

If the good cause is a breach of an obligation under these Terms of Use, termination shall only be permissible after the unsuccessful expiry of a period granted for remedy or after an unsuccessful warning. However, a period for remedy is not required if the other party seriously and definitively refuses to fulfill its obligations or if, after weighing the interests of both parties, special circumstances justify immediate termination.

If you delete your REVIERWELT user account or we deactivate it, these Terms of Use will end as an agreement between you and us, but the following provisions will continue to apply: C, E.2 – E.5

4. limitations of liability

We shall be liable without limitation in accordance with the statutory provisions: for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health; in the event of intent; in the event of gross negligence; and in accordance with the Product Liability Act.

We are only liable for slight negligence in the event of a breach of a “material” obligation arising from this agreement. “Essential” obligations in this sense are obligations that are necessary for the fulfillment of the agreement, the breach of which would jeopardize the purpose of the agreement and on the observance of which you can rely. In these cases, liability is limited to typical and foreseeable damages; in other cases, there is no liability for slight negligence.

5. disputes

Our clear regulations in the usage guidelines serve to avoid or limit disputes.

However, if there is a dispute that cannot be settled amicably between you as a user and us, you may take legal action.

In dealings between REVIERWELT Media and a user who is himself an entrepreneur, the exclusive place of performance and jurisdiction for all claims – insofar as permissible – is the Wetzlar District Court or Limburg Regional Court.

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively. For the user as a consumer, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence.

6. other

a. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and REVIERWELT Media GmbH in relation to your use of the free services of REVIERWELT. They replace all previous agreements.

b. Some of the services offered by us may also be subject to supplementary terms of use or contract. If you wish to use such services, you will be expressly informed of the facts and the supplementary terms of use or contract. If you agree to these supplementary terms of use or contract, they will also become part of our agreement with you. This is particularly the case if you wish to use the closed areas of REVIERWELT or, for example, access or use our services for commercial or business purposes, e.g. to book advertisements, sell products, offer services, create and manage a group or page for your organization or to use our communication services. Insofar as supplementary terms of use or contractual terms contradict these terms of use, the supplementary terms of use or contractual terms shall apply to the extent of the contradiction.

c. If any part of these Terms of Use is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of any rights.

d. You may not transfer rights that you are entitled to under these Terms of Use or obligations that you owe under these Terms of Use to third parties without our consent.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
