Terms of Service
1. Scope & Operator
These Terms of Service (Terms) govern the use of the DriveBase website, web application, and the mobile apps for iOS and Android (hereinafter 'DriveBase' or 'Platform'), as well as the purchase of the paid upgrade 'DriveBase Pro'. The operator of DriveBase is:
2. Scope of Services
DriveBase is an interactive theory and practical driving trainer designed to help users prepare digitally for their driving exams. The core features — including theory topics, the traffic sign quiz, and the right-of-way trainer — are free to use without registration. Advanced content (e.g., driving simulators, minigames, exam vocabulary, and the license guide) can be unlocked via the one-time paid upgrade 'DriveBase Pro'. We continuously develop the platform and reserve the right to adjust the scope and design of free features. Purchased Pro content will retain its essential functionality.
3. DriveBase Pro – Contract, Prices & Payment
DriveBase Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The applicable price is clearly displayed before you complete the purchase and includes statutory VAT. The contract is concluded when you complete the purchase process and the content is unlocked. Payment is processed depending on the platform: via the payment provider Stripe on the website, via the Apple App Store in the iOS app, and via Google Play in the Android app. For purchases made through the app stores, the terms of use and payment terms of Apple or Google apply in addition. The unlock is tied to your user account or installation and can be re-activated at any time via the 'Restore purchases' feature.
4. Right of Withdrawal & 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Consumers have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal when purchasing digital content. Independently of this, we voluntarily offer a 14-day money-back guarantee: if you are not satisfied with DriveBase Pro, we will refund the full purchase price within 14 days of the purchase date. Simply send an informal email to support@drivebase-app.de including your purchase or account details. For purchases made via the Apple App Store or Google Play, refunds are processed through the respective store's refund procedure; we are happy to assist you with this. Your statutory rights remain unaffected by this guarantee.
5. User Account & Progress Syncing
To save your learning progress, we offer an optional registration via email or Single Sign-On (Google Sign-In and Apple Sign-In). You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and protecting your account from unauthorized access. We assume no liability for damages resulting from unauthorized use of your account attributable to you. You can delete your account at any time in the app settings or via the 'Delete Account' page on this website.
6. Intellectual Property & Usage License
All content on the platform (texts, graphics, interactive simulators, quizzes, source code) is the intellectual property of Hoffleit Digital. We grant you a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for purely private, non-commercial use on your devices. Any duplication, redistribution, or commercial use without prior written consent is strictly prohibited.
7. Liability & Warranty
DriveBase is intended solely as a supporting educational and practice utility. We do not guarantee that you will pass the official theoretical or practical driving tests; the official examination materials and applicable law are always authoritative. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health. In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
8. Final Provisions
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of their country of habitual residence. We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. We reserve the right to update these Terms with future effect; purchases are governed by the version in effect at the time of purchase.
