Legal
Terms of Use
As of 2026-06-02. These terms govern your use of the piparo.party app and the related Pro content. The English text is provided for convenience; in case of doubt the German version governed by German law prevails.
1. Provider and scope
The piparo.party app is operated by piparo.tech GmbH, Frauentorgraben 61, 90443 Nuremberg, Germany (“we”, “us”). These terms apply to any use of the app and the paid content offered through the app, in particular piparo Pro. The Apple App Store or Google Play terms also apply where you obtain the app or a subscription through those stores.
2. What the app does
piparo.party is a local pass-the-phone party game app. You install it, name your crew, pick a game and pass the device around the table. All games are free to play. piparo Pro unlocks the premium packs in every game.
3. Contract formation and platforms
piparo.party is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The contract for downloads, in-app purchases and subscriptions is concluded according to the rules of the respective store. Payment, renewal, cancellation, refunds and the technical provision of the store purchase interface are governed by the store terms together with these terms.
4. piparo Pro
Pro is available as an automatically renewing subscription with two billing periods: weekly with a 3-day trial or annual. The currently applicable prices, billing periods, trial, renewal and cancellation terms are shown before purchase in the store dialog. Pro renews automatically unless you cancel in time in your Apple ID or Google account subscription settings. Cancellation directly through the piparo.party app itself is technically not possible; the app may link to store management.
5. Trial, cancellation and restore
The weekly Pro plan can start with a 3-day trial if the store offers it to you. After the trial ends, it becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel beforehand. You can restore purchases in the app if the store reports a valid entitlement. Already-started periods are refunded only under statutory rules or the refund rules of the respective store.
6. Consumer rights and withdrawal
Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected. Digital content and digital services are governed by the statutory rules, including rules on provision, defects, updates and withdrawal. Where the purchase is processed through Apple or Google, you generally use the mechanisms of the respective store for refunds and withdrawal; you may also contact us at [email protected].
7. Updates and content changes
We may update the app, provide security updates and add, adjust or remove content as long as the essential feature scope is preserved. Changes may be required for technical, legal, security or product reasons. If a change materially impairs a paid usage option, we will inform you in accordance with statutory requirements.
8. Minimum age
The app is rated 12+ in the stores. Under German law, you generally need full legal capacity for paid subscriptions or consent from your parents or legal guardians. We rely on the stores and family-sharing controls to reflect these requirements as well.
9. Usage rights
You receive a simple, non-transferable right to use the app and unlocked content privately and as intended. Content, design, trademarks, software and game text remain our property or the property of the respective rights holders. Copying, reselling, making publicly available, automated scraping and bypassing technical protection measures are not allowed.
10. Acceptable use
You use the app only for the intended gameplay purpose and not unlawfully. Prohibited actions include reverse engineering, misuse of store or Pro entitlements, distributing infringing or illegal content through custom challenges and attempting to access paid content without a valid entitlement.
11. Your own content
The app includes a “Custom Challenge” feature. Content you create there generally stays on your device; we receive neither the content nor a copy. You are solely responsible for ensuring this content does not infringe third-party rights and is appropriate for your group.
12. Availability and maintenance
We do our best to keep the app reliable. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, technical incidents, store requirements, operating-system changes or necessary security measures may cause temporary limitations.
13. Liability
We are liable in accordance with statutory provisions, in particular for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health and breach of essential contractual obligations. In case of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, our liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.
14. Data protection
Our privacy policy explains which personal data we process. piparo.party is local-first: the core features need no account, gameplay history and card answers generally do not leave your device. Optional analytics is consent-based.
15. Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms when legal, technical or product reasons require it. We will inform you about material changes in a suitable way. Your statutory rights regarding changes to digital products remain unaffected.
16. Dispute resolution
We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
17. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and the use of the app are governed by German law, excluding the UN Sales Convention. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected. Place of jurisdiction is Nuremberg to the extent legally permitted; otherwise the statutory rules apply.
18. Severability
If any provision of these terms is invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force. The invalid provision is replaced by the applicable statutory rule.
19. Platform terms and End User License Agreement (EULA)
If you obtain the app through the Apple App Store, this End User License Agreement also applies. It is concluded solely between you and us; Apple is not a party to it and is not responsible for the app or its content. You receive a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service. Maintenance and support are our sole responsibility, not Apple's. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. We, not Apple, are responsible for claims relating to the app, such as product liability, failure to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or privacy. If a third party claims that the app infringes its intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense and settlement of that claim. You represent that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. embargo or designated by the U.S. government as terrorism-supporting, and that you are not listed on any relevant U.S. list of prohibited or restricted parties. Questions, complaints or claims regarding the app should be directed to piparo.tech GmbH, Frauentorgraben 61, 90443 Nuremberg, [email protected]. You comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and are entitled to enforce it against you. If you obtain the app through Google Play, purchase and renewal are processed via Google Play Billing under Google's terms; here too, the respective platform is not a party to these terms.
