Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 June 2026

§ 1 Scope

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to the use of the lingr mobile application ("App") and the associated website lingr.online, as well as all related services (together, the "Service"), offered by Johannes Lenz, Auenstr. 68, 80469 München, Germany ("Provider").

§ 2 Conclusion of contract and registration

Use of the Service requires registration. Upon registration, a usage contract is formed between you and the Provider.
Registration is permitted only to natural persons who have reached the age of 18. By registering, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity.
Only one account per person is permitted. Multiple registrations may lead to the suspension of all accounts.

§ 3 Description of services

lingr is a social-networking platform that allows users to create profiles, get in touch with other users, and organise and experience events together.

The Provider makes the technical platform available but does not guarantee that contacts, meetings or other interactions will come about. The Provider is not a broker within the meaning of a brokerage contract.

§ 4 User obligations

You undertake to:

provide only truthful information in your profile (in particular regarding age, identity and your own photos),
not impersonate another person, not use other people's photos or identities, and not create a misleading profile ("catfishing"),
keep your login credentials secret and not grant access to third parties,
not post any content that violates applicable law or the rights of third parties — in particular no insults, hate speech, pornographic, violence-glorifying or child-protection-violating content,
not share, forward, photograph or publish intimate or identifying content of other people without their explicit consent (no "outing", no non-consensual imagery),
not harass, threaten, coerce, extort or stalk other users,
not use the App for commercial purposes (advertising, solicitation, arranging sex work),
not perform automated access (bots, scrapers) on the Service.

§ 5 Content and licence

You retain all rights to the content you post (photos, texts). However, you grant the Provider the simple, worldwide, royalty-free right to store, reproduce, display and make your content available to other users — to the extent necessary to provide the Service.

§ 6 Zero tolerance for harmful behaviour

In accordance with App Store Review Guideline 1.2, we enforce the following minimum standards:

Reporting: every profile and every piece of content can be reported ("⋯" menu → "Report profile").
Blocking: every user can block other users.
Moderation: reported content is reviewed within 24 hours. Violations result in a warning or immediate suspension.
Filtering: uploaded images pass through automatic moderation checks before publication.

§ 7 Suspension and termination

In the event of violations of these Terms, the Provider is entitled to suspend and/or delete your account temporarily or permanently. You yourself can end the contract at any time without notice by deleting your account in the App or at /en/account-loeschen.

If you consider a suspension or a moderation decision to be unjustified, you can appeal within 14 days by email to support@lingr.online. We will review the case again and inform you of the result.

§ 8 Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as under the German Product Liability Act. For slight negligence, the Provider is liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract.

The Provider is not liable for content posted by users or for damage caused by the conduct of other users.

§ 9 Changes to these Terms

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms. Material changes will be communicated with reasonable notice by email or in-app notification. If you do not object to the changes within 30 days, they are deemed accepted.

§ 10 Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Consumer-protection provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.

Should individual provisions of these Terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
