Terms of service

Preamble

These Terms of Service govern the use of My Wishlists (my-wishlists.com) between Stargate Innovationhub (hereinafter “My Wishlists” or “provider”) and you as the user (hereinafter “user”).

My Wishlists is a platform for creating and managing digital wishlists. Guests can view and reserve wishes — without an account of their own.

§ 1 Scope

1. These terms apply to all usage contracts via my-wishlists.com, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
2. The contract language is German.
3. Conflicting terms of the user are not recognised unless the provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

1. The usage contract is concluded upon successful registration of an account (email and password or magic link).
2. Use is currently free; no usage fees apply.
3. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
4. By registering, you confirm that you have read these terms and the privacy policy.

§ 3 Description of services

1. My Wishlists enables you in particular to:
   • Create and manage wishlists
   • Add wishes (manually or by product-link import)
   • Share a list via a secret link
   • Have guests reserve wishes without registration (where technically available)
   • Surprise protection: by default no insight into who reserved what (configurable)
2. The feature set may evolve. The provider strives for stable operation; maintenance windows are possible and are announced in advance where foreseeable.
3. There is no claim to a particular availability, unless otherwise required by law.

§ 4 Prices

1. Use of My Wishlists is currently free. No payment data is requested.
2. Should paid features be introduced in the future, the provider will inform you in advance and obtain — where required — separate consent or contract confirmation.
3. Under § 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG), no VAT is currently shown.

§ 5 Term and termination

1. The contract runs for an indefinite period.
2. You can terminate at any time by requesting deletion of your account at hello@my-wishlists.com. Associated lists and data are deleted, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
3. The provider may block access in the event of serious breaches of these terms, or terminate the contract for good cause without notice.

§ 6 User obligations

1. You are responsible for all content of your lists.
2. You do not provide unlawful content, in particular nothing that violates applicable law, infringes third-party rights, or is harmful to minors.
3. You keep your credentials secret and prevent unauthorised access to your account.
4. You indemnify the provider against third-party claims arising from your content or breaches of these terms, to the extent you are responsible for the violation.

§ 7 Guests and secret link

1. Lists are reachable via a secret link. Anyone who knows the link can see the list and possibly reserve. Share the link only with people you trust.
2. Guests may optionally provide name and email when reserving. You are responsible for adequately informing guests when personal data is processed.
3. The provider is not liable for unauthorised persons guessing or forwarding a link.

§ 8 Link import

1. When importing a product URL, the provider technically fetches the page to read metadata. Security restrictions apply (e.g. http/https only).
2. The respective shop provider, not My Wishlists, is responsible for external shop content and the accuracy of imported information (price, availability).
3. Links to shops may be marked as affiliate links (e.g. Amazon Associates); a purchase through them may earn the provider a commission at no extra cost to you.

§ 9 Usage rights

1. For the duration of the contract, you grant the provider the right to store your content and make it technically available (e.g. display to guests with the link).
2. Rights to your content remain with you.
3. The provider grants you a simple, non-transferable right to use the platform for the term of the contract.

§ 10 Liability

1. The provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health.
2. For slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract.
3. The provider assumes no responsibility for content of users or guests, or for external websites (e.g. linked shops).

§ 11 Data protection

Personal data is processed in accordance with our privacy policy.

§ 12 Changes to the terms

1. The provider may amend these terms where reasonable for you — e.g. due to legal changes, technical adjustments or new features.
2. We will inform you of material changes by email at least four weeks before they take effect. If you do not object within this period, the amended terms are deemed accepted.

§ 13 Final provisions

1. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
2. If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Wiesbaden.
3. The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged to participate in consumer arbitration.
4. Should individual provisions be invalid, the rest of the contract remains valid.
