Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

§ 1 Scope

These Terms of Service apply to the use of the mobile application "WatchNPlay" (hereinafter "App") and all associated services. By registering or using the App, you agree to these terms.

§ 2 Description of Service

WatchNPlay is a personal media tracker for video games, movies, and TV series. The App allows you to save titles to a watchlist, track release dates, and receive notifications about availability, deals, and new releases. The basic version of the App is free. Extended features may be offered as paid premium services.

§ 3 Registration and Account

Using the App requires registration via a third-party provider (Google or Apple). You are responsible for keeping your linked account credentials secure. Transfer of the account to third parties is not permitted.

§ 4 Community Content and User Conduct

With the review and recommendation features, you can write ratings, comments, and recommendations about media content in WatchNPlay and share them with other users ("Community Content"). The following additional rules apply to such content.

Prohibited Content

You must not create, publish, or share Community Content that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory; contains hate speech, glorification of violence, threats, harassment, or bullying; depicts pornographic or sexually explicit content or endangers minors; violates applicable law, infringes personal rights, is defamatory or insulting; contains spam, unsolicited advertising, phishing links, or malicious software; or infringes copyrights, trademarks, or other third-party rights.

Reporting and Moderation

You can flag inappropriate Community Content within the App using the built-in reporting function. We aim to review reported content within 24 hours and remove it in case of a violation. Automated filters may additionally block suspicious content upfront or route it to manual review. We reserve the right to remove content violating these rules without prior notice and to temporarily suspend or permanently delete the associated account. In case of serious or repeated violations, account suspension is generally permanent.

Responsibility and License

You are solely responsible for the Community Content you create and warrant that it does not infringe any third-party rights. You indemnify us against any third-party claims brought against us on the basis of your Community Content, including reasonable legal defence costs. By publishing, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, and distribute this content within the App and associated services. Ownership of your content remains with you.

§ 5 Premium Services and In-App Purchases

The App offers optional premium features ("WatchNPlay Pro") as subscriptions that can be purchased via in-app purchases. A monthly and an annual plan are available; current prices are displayed in the respective App Store before purchase. Payments are processed through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Subscription management and premium status verification are handled by RevenueCat (RevenueCat Inc., USA). The terms and payment conditions of the respective store also apply.

Auto-Renewal and Cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically for the respective term unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancellation must be done exclusively through the subscription management of the respective App Store (Google Play Store: Settings → Payments & subscriptions; Apple App Store: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions). Cancellation through the App itself or via email is not possible.

Right of Withdrawal for Digital Content

When purchasing digital content (e.g. premium subscriptions or one-time in-app purchases), your right of withdrawal expires upon commencement of contract performance, provided you have expressly agreed before purchase that performance may begin before the withdrawal period expires and have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. This consent is obtained during the purchase process.

§ 6 Availability and Changes to the Service

We strive to ensure uninterrupted availability of WatchNPlay. However, there is no entitlement to constant, uninterrupted availability of the App or its server-side services.

We expressly reserve the right to modify, supplement, delete, or temporarily or permanently discontinue parts of the App or the entire offering without prior notice. In the event of permanent discontinuation, users will be informed in advance.

§ 7 Liability for Third-Party Content and Data Quality

The App and all information contained therein (e.g. release dates, prices, streaming availability, ratings) are provided "as-is" without any warranty. The App sources data from third-party providers (e.g. TMDB, IGDB, Steam). We assume no liability for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this data.

§ 8 Limitation of Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence.

For simple negligence, we are only liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) whose fulfilment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely. In this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage.

The above limitations of liability also apply in favour of our agents and subcontractors.

§ 9 Final Provisions

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.

Our full legal notice with provider information is available in the App under Settings > Imprint.

Language Version

These terms were originally written in German. In the event of any contradictions or discrepancies between the translated and the German version, the German version shall be exclusively legally binding.
