Terms of Use

1. Provider and scope

Email: hello@stappez.com

These terms apply to consumers and business customers unless a provision states otherwise. Mandatory consumer rights take priority over these terms. A separate agreement expressly accepted for your order takes priority where it differs.

2. Website use

You may browse this website and use its available controls for their intended purposes. Do not disrupt its operation, attempt unauthorised access or use it to infringe another person’s rights. Product demonstrations and planned features do not by themselves create a purchase contract.

3. Orders, price and delivery

The current advertised suite price is $89 USD as a one time purchase, with no recurring subscription. Before a paid order can be submitted, the actual offer must state the total price, currency, applicable taxes, product scope, system requirements and delivery arrangements. The amount and information presented for the order govern that purchase.

Displaying a product is an invitation to place an order, rather than an acceptance of every order. When purchasing becomes available, the checkout will explain the steps to order, correct entries and identify acceptance of the contract. Merely viewing this page or signing up for launch access does not place an order.

When a contract is accepted, the applicable terms and confirmation must be provided in a form you can keep. The offer and order confirmation will identify how and when the installer and any license information are supplied. Do not place an order until these details are available.

Stripe is the selected provider for future payment processing. No Stripe checkout is currently connected. Stripe’s role does not by itself replace Maurice Ihl as the provider identified above.

Launch signup is free and does not place an order, take payment or create an app license. People with confirmed launch signups are offered 20% off their first stappez suite purchase at launch. Based on the current advertised regular price of $89 USD, the discounted price is $71.20 USD. Optional separately priced asset packs are excluded from this discount. The launch email will explain how to redeem the offer. No launch date is promised by signing up for launch access.

4. Software license

A valid purchase grants a nonexclusive license to use the purchased stappez suite and the included library within the scope stated in the offer. You may create and export visuals for personal projects, commercial work and client projects, provided you have the necessary rights to content you import.

You retain rights in your own content. The software and library assets remain the property of their respective rights holders. You may not sell or distribute library files as a standalone asset collection or redistribute the software without permission, except where applicable law permits it.

Each purchased license permits installation and use of the stappez suite on a maximum of two devices at a time. When replacing a device, remove the licensed software from a previous device so that no more than two devices remain licensed. Contact us if a lost or unusable device prevents removal.

Mandatory rights relating to permitted backup copies, testing, interoperability and exhaustion of distribution rights are not restricted by these terms. Separate open source and third party notices continue to apply to the components they cover.

5. Company licenses and reassignment

The license holder is the individual or legal entity that contracts as the purchaser. If a company contracts as the purchaser, the company holds the license. A person placing the order for a company must be authorized to act for it and does not acquire a personal license by placing that order.

A company may authorize its employees and contractors to use its license for company work and may reassign that internal authorization. When a person is no longer authorized, that person must stop using the company license. The end of employment or a contractor relationship does not convert a company license into a personal license.

The two device limit applies across the company license as a whole, not separately to each authorized person. Remove previous installations as needed so no more than two devices remain licensed at a time.

A work email address or payment method alone does not reassign the license or determine whether the purchaser is a consumer or business. The actual contract, order records and purchase purpose govern. A company does not acquire an employee’s personal license merely because of the employment relationship. A transfer requires the holder’s agreement or another lawful basis, subject to applicable mandatory rights.

To update our records or request assistance with an external transfer or change of license holder, you can contact hello@stappez.com with the order reference and proportionate confirmation of authority. Do not send a full card number or account credentials. These terms do not require our discretionary consent for a transfer that applicable mandatory law permits.

An internal reassignment by the same purchaser does not by itself create a new contract, restart the original withdrawal period or cancel rights from the original purchase. All reassignment and transfer rules remain subject to mandatory law, including applicable exhaustion rights.

6. Ongoing use and updates

The purchased license does not expire merely because time has passed. You can continue to use the purchased version without a recurring subscription. As advertised, all future app and feature updates for the purchased stappez suite are included at no additional license charge.

Your purchase includes the library assets described in the offer at the time of purchase. Optional additional library collections or asset packs may be offered separately for an additional price. Their contents and price will be disclosed before you choose to buy them. You do not need to purchase these optional additions to continue using your purchased suite and included library. This does not reduce any library access or update rights already agreed for your purchase.

This promise does not limit any obligation to provide updates needed to keep a digital product in conformity with the contract, including security updates, for the period required by law. Any agreed compatibility requirements and instructions for installing necessary updates will be supplied with the relevant product information.

7. Your content and optional AI services

You are responsible for ensuring that you may use the screens, media, trademarks and other material you import. Exporting a video does not give you rights in somebody else’s content.

An optional connection to an AI service may require an account or payment with that provider. Its terms and privacy policy apply to that service. Such a connection does not transfer ownership of your content to us. The released app must explain what information is shared before the connection is used.

8. Purchaser status and refunds

A consumer is a natural person who enters a transaction for purposes predominantly outside their trade or self employed profession. A business customer is a person or entity acting in the course of a trade or self employed professional activity. The actual purpose of the purchase determines which status applies; the invoice name or payment method alone does not decide it.

For business purchases, we do not offer a voluntary refund for a change of mind. The statutory consumer withdrawal right does not apply to a business purchase. This does not affect statutory or contractual remedies for defects, failure to deliver or other breaches.

For consumers, the usual statutory withdrawal period is 14 days from conclusion of the contract, subject to the information requirements and statutory rules described below. We do not offer an additional voluntary money back guarantee. Where the statutory withdrawal right applies, no reason is required. After the period has validly expired or the right has otherwise lawfully ended, we do not offer a refund for a change of mind. Any statutory extension of the withdrawal period and remedies for defects, failure to deliver or other breaches remain unaffected.

For a claim other than a statutory withdrawal, provide your order details and describe the problem so we can assess it. This is not a precondition to exercising a statutory withdrawal right.

If a purchase is validly withdrawn or terminated and we have paid the full refund due, the purchased license ends. A request alone or a partial refund does not end it. This does not affect your rights in your own content or exports validly created before the license ended.

9. Consumer right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal, you may withdraw from a distance purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. For digital content supplied without a physical medium, the period begins when the contract is concluded, subject to the information requirements and other applicable law.

To exercise this right, please email a clear statement that you wish to withdraw to hello@stappez.com. Email is our preferred contact channel, but it is not an exclusive requirement. You may also notify Maurice Ihl, trading as stappez, at Saxoniastraße 18, 01159 Dresden, Germany, or use another method permitted by law. You may use the model form below, but you do not have to. Sending your notice before the withdrawal period ends is sufficient to meet the deadline.

If you withdraw, we will repay the payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days after being informed of your decision. We use the same payment method unless expressly agreed otherwise, and we do not charge a fee for that repayment.

For paid digital content, the right does not end simply because you download or open the software. Early expiry requires the legally required conditions, including your express consent to supply beginning before the withdrawal period ends, your acknowledgement of the resulting loss of the right, the start of supply and the required contract confirmation. Any required online withdrawal function must be available during the applicable withdrawal period when online ordering launches.

10. Model withdrawal form

Send this form only if you wish to withdraw from a contract.

To: Maurice Ihl, trading as stappez, Saxoniastraße 18, 01159 Dresden, Germany. Email: hello@stappez.com.

I or we hereby withdraw from the contract concluded for the supply of the following digital content:

• Product and order reference
• Date ordered
• Name of the consumer or consumers
• Address of the consumer or consumers
• Date
• Signature, only if this form is sent on paper

11. Defects and statutory remedies

Statutory rights for defective digital products, including rights to conformity, correction, price reduction, termination and damages where their legal conditions are met, remain unaffected. This applies independently of the withdrawal right. Contact us with a description of the problem and your order details so that we can help assess it.

12. Liability

We remain liable without limitation where required by law, including for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, fraudulent concealment, an expressly assumed guarantee and applicable product liability.

For ordinary negligence, liability is limited to breaches of essential contractual duties and the foreseeable loss typical of the contract, to the extent such a limitation is legally permitted. Essential duties are those needed to fulfil the contract and on which you can normally rely. Nothing in these terms removes mandatory consumer remedies or other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

13. Privacy and support

Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. For support, purchase questions and legal notices, email hello@stappez.com.

The website does not promise a particular response time or a paid support service. Any additional support commitment must be stated in the offer or agreed separately.

14. Applicable law and changes

German law applies. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections that apply in the country where you habitually live, where those protections are applicable. Your rights to bring a claim in a court permitted by applicable law remain unaffected.

Changes to these terms apply to future contracts. They do not automatically rewrite an existing purchase or reduce rights already agreed for it. Any change to an existing contract requires a lawful basis and, where required, your agreement.
