Terms of Service (AGB) — Summary¶
The General Terms and Conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen, AGB) govern the use of VoltFracht between the provider and you as a player. The authoritative text is the in-game version under Settings → AGB (status: 15 October 2026, German law applies). Registration constitutes acceptance. Below is an English summary of all sections.
| § | Topic | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope (Geltungsbereich) | These terms govern use of the online game "VoltFracht" between provider and user. |
| 2 | Game character (Spielcharakter) | Economic simulation; basic use is free, optional paid extras (e.g. PRO) may be offered. All in-game vehicles, orders, balances (€), companies and content are purely virtual, hold no real monetary value, and cannot be exchanged for real money or goods. |
| 3 | Paid content, payment & withdrawal | Paid features are supplied as digital content via the platform provider (Apple App Store, Google Play) or the web payment provider. They are provided immediately upon purchase; with the purchase you consent to execution before the withdrawal period ends, so no right of withdrawal exists (§ 356(5) BGB). |
| 4 | No availability guarantee / beta status | The game is under ongoing development and is provided "as is" without any guarantee of permanent or uninterrupted availability. The provider may change, restrict, interrupt or discontinue the game at any time without notice. There is no claim to preservation of game state, individual features or progress; bugs, malfunctions and data loss may occur and give rise to no claims (to the extent legally permissible). |
| 5 | Account & duties (Konto & Pflichten) | Login via email, a supported sign-in provider (Apple, Google) or a guest account. A guest account cannot be restored after loss of device or access — link an email address for permanent backup. You are responsible for keeping credentials secret. Misuse, manipulation of the game or interference with the technical infrastructure are prohibited. |
| 5a | Social features & visibility | The game has public/social features (leaderboard, syndicates). Your company name and aggregated statistics are visible to other users (see privacy policy). Illegal, offensive or obscene content is prohibited in company, syndicate and ad names and free-text fields; the provider may change or remove such content. |
| 5b | Fair play (Faires Spiel) | Two rules: "You play yourself" — no scripts, bots, macros, auto-clickers or access outside the provided client; and "Your account is yours alone" — no credential sharing, joint play, sale, rental or trading of accounts. Playing often on your own devices is fine; round-the-clock uninterrupted use is treated as an indicator of a violation. Enforcement evaluates action timestamps (privacy policy §2): inquiry first, then warning, then ban. Only obvious abuse leads to a ban without prior inquiry. See Economy & Fair-Play. |
| 6 | Limitation of liability | Liability only for intent, gross negligence and injury to life, body or health. No liability for loss of game state, progress or virtual goods (to the extent legally permissible). |
| 7 | Term & termination | You can have your account deleted at any time. A running subscription can be cancelled at the end of the paid period via the platform or in the settings; already provided digital content is not refunded pro rata. The provider may terminate the relationship immediately for TOS violations and ban or delete affected accounts. |
| 8 | Amendments to the TOS | The provider may amend these terms; material changes are announced in a suitable form. |
| 9 | Final provisions | German law applies; if any provision is invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected (severability). |
