Terms & Conditions

These Terms govern the use of this Application (“Ping”) and any other related Agreement or legal relationship with the owner in a legally binding way. The User must read this document carefully.

This Application is provided by its owner:

Accounts

A user is anyone who successfully creates a user profile within the Ping application. A user must be older than 17 years as stated in the Appstore where this application can be downloaded. A user account is created when signing up for Ping. However, a user profile must be created to use Ping. Without a user profile, there is no user generated content visible (other profiles), no interaction is available with other users (sending a Ping, messaging) and the own location will not be displayed to others. To create a profile, mandatory information must be provided (e.g., username, profile picture with clearly visible face), and voluntary information can be provided (bio, further pictures). Input-fields are marked respectively. Failure in creating a profile will cause unavailability of Ping.

By creating a profile, users agree to this terms and conditions. Further, users agree to be fully responsible for all activities that may happen under their user account as it is the user’s responsibility to keep the access to its profile confidential. The users must inform the owner (kontakt@pingnow.de) immediately if they think their user accounts, access credentials or other personal data, have been violated, unduly disclosed, or stolen.

Account termination

All users can delete their account and all associated information at any time by deleting their account (settings, account, delete).

Account suspension and deletion

The owner has all rights at its sole discretion, to delete or suspend user accounts at any time and without any notice, if they behave in an inappropriate, offensive, abusive way or in violation of these terms. A deletion or suspension of user accounts does not entitle respective users to any claims for compensation, damage, or reimbursement.
