Terms of Use

Terms for using the Anwalts-Bürger-App.

This is a courtesy English translation. The legally binding version of these terms of use is the German one.

1. Scope & provider

These terms of use apply to the use of the Anwalts-Bürger-App (hereinafter the "App" or "service"), available at anwalts-buerger-app.de. The provider and contracting party is Sebastian Niehues, Aalweg 11, 45721 Haltern am See (hereinafter "we"). By using the service you accept these terms.

2. Description of services

The App is a digital self-help tool and offers in particular:

  • the creation and, at your express request, the sending of GDPR requests (access under Art. 15, erasure under Art. 17 GDPR) to data brokers;
  • the creation of draft letters to companies citing the relevant provisions;
  • a fraud check to assess suspicious messages;
  • in the future, the referral of licensed attorneys.

3. No legal advice (important)

The App does not constitute legal advice within the meaning of the Legal Services Act (RDG) and does not replace it. It provides general information, templates and drafts; no review of your specific individual case takes place. For a binding legal assessment, please consult an attorney. We provide no guarantee of the legal success of letters created.

4. Account & sign-in

Many functions can be used without an account. To save requests, you can create a free account (by email code, email/password or Google). You are obliged to keep your login credentials secret and to provide accurate information. As a rule, one account per person is intended.

5. Obligations and permitted use

In particular, you undertake:

  • to use the service only for your own matters and via your own, confirmed identifier (in particular your email address);
  • not to search for data of other people or to submit requests in the name of third parties without their authorization;
  • not to provide any false, misleading or unlawful information;
  • not to use the service abusively, in an automated mass fashion or to harass third parties;
  • to review the generated letters yourself before sending them.

You are responsible yourself for the letters you initiate and their contents.

6. Availability

We strive for reliable operation, but do not owe any particular level of availability. The service is still being developed; individual functions may change, be temporarily unavailable or be discontinued.

7. Costs

The core functions currently offered are free of charge. Should paid premium functions be introduced in the future, these will be clearly marked as such before booking and ordered separately. Merely using the service does not incur any hidden costs.

8. Attorney referral

Insofar as a referral of attorneys is offered, we act exclusively as an intermediary. A mandate relationship and an advisory agreement are formed solely between you and the respective law firm. We provide no legal services and do not collect any commissions that are impermissible under professional conduct rules (§ 49b BRAO).

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body or health. In the case of slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law. In particular, we assume no liability for the legal accuracy, completeness or success of automatically created letters, nor for decisions that you make on the basis of the App. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

10. Account deletion & termination

You can end your use at any time and request the deletion of your account and your data (for contact details, see the legal notice). We may restrict or end the provision of the service toward users who violate these terms.

11. Data protection

Information on the processing of your personal data can be found in our privacy policy.

12. Changes to the terms

We may adjust these terms of use with effect for the future, for example in the event of changes to the range of services or the legal situation. The version published here applies in each case.

13. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer protection provisions of your state of residence remain unaffected. Should a provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
