Push notifications are messages sent by the app to your device and displayed there in a prioritized manner. You can turn these push notifications on and off in the app settings of your mobile device. When you activate push notifications for the first time – e.g. when you start the app for the first time – a unique identification number of your mobile device (device ID) is communicated to the service that provides the push functionality at your operating system provider (for Android: “Google Cloud Messaging”, for iOS “Apple Push Notification Service”). This service returns a so-called identifier (“Push Notification Identifier”), which no longer allows any conclusions to be drawn about the device ID and thus about you as the user. Afterwards, communication with the is always carried out with this identifier. This ensures that the device ID is not used for any other purpose.

The BeerTasting App (“App”) is an offer of KALEA GmbH, Biberngasse 31, 5020 Salzburg (KALEA). The following terms and conditions of use and operation apply to the entire use of the App. Users of the app confirm that they have read the following terms of use and agree to them. References to persons refer equally to both genders.

Persons who have reached the age of 16 are entitled to use the facility.

The app offers a platform for beer rating. With the app, the user can view ratings for various beers, but also rate beers themselves. At the same time, the app lists what the user has rated and how, thus providing statistics on user behavior.

The user is responsible for the use of the application and for the fact that third parties may charge for the use of the application (such as Internet or call charges). Roaming charges may also apply when using the application abroad. To avoid additional costs, the user should first make sure that data roaming is disabled in the settings (Settings > General > Network) before traveling abroad. If data roaming is disabled, you can be sure that the device will not automatically connect to the Internet via the mobile network. All charges are the responsibility of the user.

In the case of links, KALEA does not identify with the content of the linked pages. KALEA has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, no liability is assumed for them. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and especially for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, only the provider of the linked page is liable. At the time of setting the link, the content of the linked page was inconspicuous. Should any of the linked pages contain questionable content, please inform us. In this case the link will be deleted.

The availability and function of the app depend on the operation and utilization of telecommunications equipment and servers, over which KALEA has no control. In this respect, it cannot be guaranteed that the app will be available at all times and in full, that all content will be permanently accessible and that all functions will be available around the clock. The user has no claim to availability and no claims whatsoever arise for him in the event that the app is unusable. Nevertheless, KALEA endeavors to enable the highest possible availability of the app and the associated functions.

All contents of the app have been carefully checked. Notwithstanding this, KALEA cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the information or the constant availability of the offer. Insofar as third-party services are integrated into the offer, the responsibility for such services lies exclusively with the third parties. In principle, KALEA is only responsible for content that it has created, published and distributed itself. Liability is generally excluded, except in cases of intent or gross negligence. This applies in particular to damages that may result from errors, delays, or interruptions in transmission, incorrect content, loss or deletion of data, viruses, or in any other way when using the app. However, it does not apply to personal injury.

All contents of the app – in particular texts, images, logos, designs and graphics – are protected by copyright and are the intellectual property of KALEA. Any exploitation within the meaning of the UrhG (e.g. duplications, adaptations, publications) is only permitted with prior written consent.

KALEA reserves the right to change these terms of use at any time. In this case, the amended terms of use shall be deemed approved if the user does not object within 4 weeks. The user is advised that objection will result in the user no longer being able to use the app.

The user undertakes to use this app exclusively in accordance with these conditions. In particular, the user is prohibited from:

• to offend common decency with its usage behavior;
• to violate industrial property rights, copyrights, personal rights, property rights or other rights of third parties;
• to post content containing viruses, Trojan horses or worms or to carry out any other programming or reverse programming that may alter or damage the software;

• to transfer the App or parts thereof to data exchange platforms (except for backup purposes).

If the user violates these Terms of Use, he or she may be excluded from using the app or individual functions. If the violation results in damages, KALEA is entitled to claim damages.
