Terms of Use

Last updated: 25 July 2026

Scope and Provider

These Terms of Use govern your use of the DreamJournal zzZ mobile app (the “App”). The App is provided by:

DigitalZen GmbH
St.-Cajetan-Str. 12
81669 München
Germany

The App is intended exclusively for consumers.

For downloading the App and for purchases through the app stores, the terms of the respective store operator (Apple) additionally apply. These Terms do not alter the store terms.

The App

We provide the App with the features described in the respective store listing. The App’s core features are free of charge; the contract for their use is concluded when you download and install the App. Additional features can be unlocked through a paid subscription; the details are set out in the section “Subscriptions”.

The App does not provide medical, psychological or other professional advice and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment or therapy.

No account is required to use the App. Your entries are processed and stored locally on your device; they never reach our servers. If you enable the optional iCloud sync, your entries are additionally stored in your own iCloud account — we have no access to that data either. Your content is yours — we acquire no rights in the content you create in the App. For details on how personal data is handled, please see our Privacy Policy.

We develop the App continuously. We do not promise that the feature set will remain permanently unchanged; we will only make changes that you can reasonably be expected to accept, taking both your interests and ours into account. Beyond what is required to keep the App in conformity with the contract, we will change paid features only for valid reasons — such as adapting the App to new technical environments or for important operational reasons — at no additional cost to you. We will inform you of such changes in good time in advance, clearly and comprehensibly; where a change more than insignificantly impairs usability, we will inform you on a durable medium (for example by email or a notice in the App). If a change more than insignificantly impairs your use of paid features, you may terminate the contract free of charge under § 327r of the German Civil Code (BGB). Maintenance work or technical faults may temporarily limit availability.

Use of the free features is not limited in time. You can end it at any time by deleting the App from your device. Ending a subscription is governed by the section “Subscriptions”.

License

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the App for private purposes on your own devices. You may not rent out, sublicense or make the App publicly available. You may not copy, modify or decompile the App, except as permitted by mandatory law (sections 69d, 69e of the German Copyright Act, UrhG).

These Terms are concluded between you and us, not with Apple. If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement additionally applies. In the event of conflict, the App Store terms and Apple’s standard licence agreement prevail. We, not Apple, are responsible for the App and for its maintenance and support. You acknowledge that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and are entitled to enforce them against you.

Your Obligations

Use the App only in accordance with applicable law and these Terms.
Do not circumvent or interfere with the App’s technical protection measures, and do not disrupt its operation through automated means.
Back up your data regularly, for example through a device backup — this is your responsibility. Optional iCloud sync through your own Apple account is available for this purpose.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are concluded, billed and priced exclusively through the in-app purchase process of the respective store. The subscription contract is concluded when you confirm the purchase in the store. The price including VAT, the subscription term and the renewal conditions are displayed in the store before you buy. For purchases through the Apple App Store, Apple acts as your contractual partner for the purchase transaction.

Whether and for what term a subscription renews is shown in the store’s purchase flow; there you can turn off renewal. The latest point at which turning it off still prevents the next renewal is shown by the respective store. Periods you have already paid for remain available to you until they end. Subscriptions taken out in the App must be cancelled in the settings of the respective store account. Deleting the App does not cancel an active subscription. After cancelling, you can continue to use the paid features until the end of the term you have already paid for.

Right of Withdrawal

As a consumer, you have a statutory right of withdrawal when buying digital content: you may withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving reasons. The right of withdrawal may expire early under § 356 (4) and (5) of the German Civil Code (BGB) if, in the store’s purchase flow, you expressly agree that performance is to begin before the end of the withdrawal period and confirm that you are aware that your right of withdrawal is thereby lost. Withdrawal and refunds are handled through the respective store. For purchases through the Apple App Store, contact Apple, for example at reportaproblem.apple.com. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Warranty

The statutory warranty rights for digital products (§§ 327 et seq. of the German Civil Code, BGB) apply. Beyond what the law requires, we do not promise any specific personal outcome or uninterrupted availability of the App; this does not limit your statutory rights in the event of defects.

Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and in case of fraudulent concealment of a defect or where a guarantee has been given. This also applies to breaches of duty by our legal representatives and vicarious agents. In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) — obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may rely. In these cases, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded. Liability for injury to life, body or health, liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), mandatory statutory remedies for defects and any other mandatory statutory liability remain unaffected.

For features provided free of charge, we are liable only for intent and gross negligence; liability for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected in this respect as well.

Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms for good cause, such as changes in the law, technical developments, or changes to the App’s features. We will announce changes in advance with reasonable notice in the App, and additionally on this website. If you do not agree with a change, you can stop using the App at any time and cancel your subscription with effect from the end of the current term in your store account settings. Changes do not apply to your disadvantage during a subscription period you have already paid for.

Consumer Dispute Resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Final Provisions

These Terms are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, any mandatory statutory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.

Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

These Terms are available in German and English. The German version prevails.
