§ 1 Scope of Application, Subject Matter & Availability​

  1. Subject Matter: These General Terms of Service (hereinafter "ToS") conclusively and comprehensively govern the legal relationship between ScootKit UG (haftungsbeschränkt) (hereinafter "Provider") and the natural or legal persons (hereinafter "User") who use the platform featureboard.net (hereinafter "Platform") as well as the interactive features provided thereon.
  2. Scope of Services: The Platform provides a SaaS infrastructure for aggregating user feedback, prioritizing software features, and visualizing development roadmaps. This includes boards for the Provider's own products (especially SCNX) as well as boards for third-party target products.
  3. Conclusion of Contract: By completing the registration process, authenticating via third-party interfaces (OAuth2), or actively using the Platform features (e.g., casting votes), a gratuitous user agreement is concluded on the basis of these ToS.
  4. Availability Reservation: The Platform and its features are provided "as is" and "as available" within the scope of technical and operational possibilities. There is no entitlement to uninterrupted, continuous, or error-free availability of the systems. The Provider reserves the right to restrict operation temporarily or permanently at any time for maintenance work, updates, or other reasons.

§ 2 Integrity of the Feedback Infrastructure​

  1. Singularity Principle: Each User is permitted to create and maintain exactly one (1) user account.
  2. Abuse and Manipulation: The creation of multiple accounts, alternative accounts, or automated user profiles (bots) to artificially influence voting results, rankings, or to gain gamification advantages (e.g., point farming) is strictly prohibited.
  3. Sanctioned Ecosystem Ban: In the event of a culpable violation of the manipulation ban or the singularity principle, the Provider is entitled to permanently exclude the User from the Platform without prior notice. This exclusion explicitly extends to all services and products of ScootKit UG (in particular, access to the services of SCNX). A refund of payments already made will not be issued in this case.

§ 3 Transfer of Usage Rights & Content Control​

  1. Comprehensive Grant of Rights: By submitting or publishing content (suggestions, comments, media), the User grants the Provider a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable right of use and exploitation.
  2. Operational Sovereignty and Right of Revision: The Provider is entitled at any time, without giving reasons, to:
    • edit, shorten, redesign, or translate user contributions editorially to maintain the structural integrity of the Platform;
    • merge or move contributions to avoid redundancies with other entries;
    • irrevocably delete contributions at its own strategic discretion, even if the contribution has gained high popularity.
  3. Commercial Exploitation and Data Monetization: The granted right includes the authority for the commercial exploitation of the content, integration into software products, the sale of aggregated data sets to third parties, and the use of the content for training artificial intelligence systems (Machine Learning).
  4. Exclusion of Remuneration: All contributions are made free of charge on a gratuitous basis. Any claim to author attribution pursuant to Section 13 of the German Copyright Act (UrhG) is expressly excluded.
  5. Guarantee of Rights and Indemnification: The User guarantees that they hold all necessary rights to upload the content and to grant the Provider the rights mentioned in § 3.1. The User indemnifies the Provider against all third-party claims (including reasonable legal defense costs) resulting from the infringement of copyright, trademark, or other protective rights by the content provided by the User.

§ 4 Legal Nature of Status Indicators, Metrics & Gamification​

  1. Information Reservation: Status indicators (e.g., "Planned", "In Progress", "Completed") serve exclusively for the non-binding communication of the current planning vision; they are non-binding and may also deviate from the internal operational status.
  2. Cosmetic Nature of System Metrics: Displayed values such as Implementation Likelihoods, Complexity Scores, and Popularity Scores are purely cosmetic in nature. They represent only non-binding, algorithmically or editorially generated estimates and may be systematically inaccurate. These values can be changed by the Provider at any time without prior notice.
  3. Exclusion of Realization Claims: Neither the number of votes, specific scores, nor a specific status indicator establishes a legal claim or a guarantee for an actual technical implementation, a prioritization, or adherence to a schedule. Strategic product decisions remain the sole responsibility of the Provider.
  4. Gamification and System Manipulation: Gamification elements of the Platform (in particular points, leaderboards, levels, or badges) are for entertainment purposes only and have no monetary or other real-world value. The Provider expressly reserves the right to alter, manipulate, reset point balances, scores, or other metrics at any time at its own discretion, or to discontinue gamification features entirely without replacement. Any claim to retain or restore virtual progress is excluded.

§ 5 Feature Sponsoring​

  1. Legal Nature: The sponsoring of a feature constitutes a service contract (Dienstvertrag) for the financial promotion of a specific development. A guaranteed successful outcome (werkvertraglicher Erfolg) is not owed.
  2. Decisive Scope of Services: For the scope of the development service promoted by the sponsoring, exclusively the content of the original proposal (Initial Post) on the Platform at the time of payment is decisive.
  3. Exclusion of Extensions (Anti-Feature-Creep): Subsequent user interactions, supplementary discussion posts, or comments within the Platform do not constitute an expansion of the contractually owed scope of services. The Provider does not owe the implementation of interpretations or wishes that go beyond the original proposal text.
  4. Technical Sovereignty: The technical architecture, the choice of programming language, and the final design remain the sole competence of the Provider.
  5. Right of Refusal (Security & Architecture): The Provider expressly reserves the right to decline the implementation of sponsored features following an evaluation. This applies in particular if it turns out that the implementation is technically impossible, poses disproportionate security risks (security concerns) for the Platform or its Users, is incompatible with the existing software architecture, or violates the Platform guidelines.
  6. Refund & Processing Fee: In the cases of non-implementation mentioned in § 5.5, the sponsoring amount will be refunded minus an expense allowance for the technical and security-specific evaluation in the amount of **50.00 EUR ** (but strictly not exceeding 10% of the sponsoring value). The User retains the right to prove that the Provider incurred significantly lower or no expenses.

§ 6 Artificial Intelligence & Fair Use Provisions​

  1. System Integrity: The use of AI-based analysis functions is subject to fair use restrictions.
  2. Throttling Reservation: If there are indications of automated behavior, excessive requests, or otherwise disproportionate load on the infrastructure, the Provider is entitled to immediately limit (throttling) or block access.

§ 7 Technical Protection Measures & Contractual Penalty​

  1. Scraping Ban: The systematic extraction of Platform content by automated systems (scraping, crawling, bots) is strictly prohibited without the Provider's explicit written consent.
  2. Contractual Penalty for Entrepreneurs: Provided the User acts as an entrepreneur (Section 14 BGB), they commit to paying an appropriate contractual penalty, to be determined by the Provider at its reasonable discretion and, in case of dispute, to be reviewed by the competent court ("Hamburger Brauch"), for each case of culpable violation against the ban on automated extraction. The assertion of further damages remains unaffected.

§ 8 Account Management & Data Continuity​

  1. Deletion Option: The User can delete their account at any time at featureboard.net/settings.
  2. Persistent Content Clause: To maintain the consistency of roadmaps and discussion threads, User contributions will remain on the Platform in anonymized form even after account deletion. The usage rights granted pursuant to § 3 continue to exist in full.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability & Data Backup​

  1. Liability Standard: The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body, or health. In the event of slight negligence, liability is limited to the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal duties) and to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.
  2. User's Obligation: The Provider is only liable for the loss of data if the User has ensured through regular exports that the data can be restored with reasonable effort.
  3. Force Majeure: The Provider shall not be liable for performance failures, system outages, or delays due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, strikes, cyberattacks, failures of telecommunication networks or hosting providers).

§ 10 Data Protection​

The processing of personal data is carried out strictly in accordance with applicable data protection laws (GDPR). The detailed Privacy Policy of the Provider is permanently accessible at the following link:

§ 11 Final Provisions​

  1. Reservation of Changes and Deemed Consent: The Provider reserves the right to amend these ToS at any time with effect for the future. Planned changes will be communicated to Users at least 30 days before their intended effective date via email or within the Platform (where a longer period is legally required, that period applies). If the User does not object to the validity of the new ToS within this period, the amended ToS shall be deemed accepted. The Provider will specifically inform the User of the right to object and the legal consequences of remaining silent in the notification of change. Alternatively, the User has the option to actively consent to the new terms via the Platform dashboard before the period expires. If the User objects within the given timeframe, the Provider is entitled to terminate the usage agreement without notice.
  2. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction: The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Munich, provided the User is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, a special fund under public law, or has their place of residence outside the European Union.
  3. Class Action Waiver: Where legally permissible, Users outside the European Union waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits against the Provider.
  4. Right of Withdrawal: Consumers can find information on their right of withdrawal at: https://corp.scootkit.com/docs/legal/right-of-withdrawal/
  5. Severability Clause: Should individual provisions of these ToS be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a legally permissible provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

The terms used are not gender-specific.
