GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Welcome to Motobit. Motobit and it's owner motobit GmbH (therefore defined as "Motobit" or "we" or "us" or "ours") offer motorcycle-related, app-based tracking services (Android) for non-commercial use. The majority of these services are based on anonymized user data that is recorded while driving. With the services provided, Motobit has made it its goal to provide the user with detailed information about their own driving behavior in order to enable them to move more confidently and safely on the road.
In order to be able to use all functions of the app, the user (therefore defined as “user”) must first complete the registration process when the app is started for the first time and agree to the general terms and conditions (GTC). Motobit respects the right to privacy and shares the user's concern about the security of data transmitted to Motobit through the services provided. It is therefore recommended to read the following statement carefully in order to understand the guidelines that Motobit has laid down to protect the information. These conditions form a fully binding agreement between Motobit, the owner of all rights to and for the service, and the user.
Further information about Motobit and motobit GmbH can be found in the imprint at https://www.getmotobit.com/imprint/.
A) Scope
1.) With the registration, the user expressly accepts the terms and conditions and any agreement contained therein and further confirms with the registration that they have read and understood them. The term “user” is to be understood as gender-neutral and includes all persons who use the services provided by motobit GmbH within this GTC.
2.) The use of all services and the functions of the mobile app is not possible without consent to the terms and conditions, whereby deviating conditions by the user are not recognized by motobit GmbH.

B) Limitation
1.) The application may only be used by natural persons with a valid driver's license. A valid ownership is confirmed by the user during registration of the services.
C) Scope of the services
1.) The functions offered as part of the application include the provision of road and landscape maps (hereinafter referred to as “maps”) and for the creation and display of recorded tours (hereinafter referred to as “tours”) with the route information contained therein.

3.) As of these General Terms and Conditions, the application includes freely accessible functions.
D) User behaviour
1.) Each user may personally create a single user profile during registration. There is no legal claim derived from this registration process to use the functions and content. For this reason, Motobit reserves the right, in compliance with the legal requirements for equal treatment of users, to refuse an application for registration by notifying the user without reason. Consequently, the sharing of a single user account among several natural persons automatically leads to an exclusion from the services.
2.) By successfully completing the registration process, the user submits an offer to conclude the contract for the use of the functions that require registration, which Motobit accepts by activating the user.
3.) If the registration process is not completed, Motobit is entitled to completely and irrevocably delete the incompletely registered user profile including all information previously provided by the user.

The user ensures that the email address is up-to-date and protects the access data communicated to him from the application against unauthorized access by third parties.
5.) The user is aware that the operation of a suitable device while driving is legally prohibited, consequently Motobit does not assume any costs that property damage or punitive mandates can entail on the part of the executive.
6.) The user refrains from making a profit from the services offered by Motobit by selling the database originating from the user. Likewise, no unauthorized duplication of the application (.apk and suchlike) and the services contained therein by the user may occur without Motobit's permission.
