Preamble

The Provider offers an infrastructure on Ballmod.com to facilitate the User’s ability to convert files from one format to another using file conversion programs, as well as to edit and manipulate those files on Internet servers.

§ 1 General and Application

  1. These Terms and Conditions apply to every business relationship between the Provider and the User as a Customer.
  2. A Consumer, in terms of these Terms and Conditions, is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose outside their trade, business, or profession. An Entrepreneur refers to a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality acting in the exercise of their trade, business, or profession when entering into a legal transaction. Customers, for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, include both Consumers and Entrepreneurs.
  3. Individual contract agreements take precedence over these Terms and Conditions. Diverging, conflicting, or supplementary terms and conditions do not become part of the contract unless their validity is expressly agreed upon.

§ 2 Service Description and Prices

  1. The Provider offers an infrastructure on Ballmod.com that facilitates file conversion and editing services via Internet servers. The services allow downloading and uploading files in various formats, converting files between formats, and manipulating files using Software as a Service (SaaS) mechanisms.

    Users can convert files from one format to another, edit files, and then download them via a unique, non-guessable link. The specific services available depend on the service level selected: “Free”, “Registered Free”, “Billed Monthly”, and “Billed Annually”. The Provider may establish general practices and limits concerning the use of these services.

  2. The Provider offers both free and paid services on Ballmod.com. Paid services are accessible through a premium account, which provides advanced features.
  3. The Provider provides memory space within the limits of its technical capabilities and reserves the right to delete files or refuse uploads if storage capacity is insufficient. The Provider may also change or discontinue any services at any time and is not responsible for any data loss during service provision.
  4. The specific scope of services depends on the detailed descriptions offered by the Provider, which form an essential part of these Terms and Conditions.

§ 3 Customer Identification

  1. Free services can be used without registration. However, to access paid services, Customers must register with a username (email address) and password. By completing the registration and accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Customer makes a binding offer to use the services.

    If using paid services, the Customer must provide accurate and complete payment details and keep this information updated. Registration is completed once the Customer confirms it via email.

  2. If the Customer becomes aware of any misuse of their account, they must inform the Provider immediately. The Provider may block access in cases of misuse.

§ 4 Terms and Termination

The use of the Provider’s services is not tied to a specific period unless otherwise stated in the description of paid services. Paid services may be subject to specific contract periods, which are detailed in the service descriptions. The Provider retains the right to terminate contracts for important reasons, especially if the Customer violates section 6(2) of these Terms and Conditions.

§ 5 Right of Withdrawal for EU Consumers

  • Withdrawal Instructions for EU Consumers
