Terms of use for showcases and club posts
These terms apply to everything you show publicly with Waffenschrank: showcases and published club pages, available at waffenschrank.app/p/…. The provider is tap & type UG (haftungsbeschränkt), see Legal notice. They describe which content is not allowed there and how we deal with it (Art. 14 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Digital Services Act – DSA).
They apply equally to posts you make in a club – for example competition results that the club’s admin approves – even if they are only visible within the club; you can report such posts the same way as a showcase. Our general terms of use apply as well.
What becomes public
You choose what a showcase shows: its name, selected guns, ammunition and accessories with manufacturer, model, caliber and downsized photos, plus competition results. A club page shows the club name and the members’ approved results, without their names. Serial numbers, storage locations, stock levels, prices and permit data are technically excluded: the app only lets a fixed list of fields out.
What is not allowed
- Content that breaks the law – for example symbols of unconstitutional or terrorist organizations, glorification of violence, incitement to hatred, insults or threats.
- Offers to buy, sell, swap or broker guns, ammunition or essential parts. A showcase is not a marketplace.
- Photos and texts you hold no rights to.
- Names, images or other details about other people without their consent.
- Details that reveal where guns are stored – for example an address or photos in which the storage location can be recognized.
How we moderate
We do not review showcases in advance and use no automatic content detection. The only automatic restriction is the fixed list of fields above. We act when content is reported to us or we learn of it in another way; a human reviews every report.
If content breaks these terms or the law, we take the showcase or club page concerned offline; its link then becomes permanently invalid. We decide carefully, objectively and proportionately and take the rights of everyone involved into account, including freedom of expression. If we know an electronic contact address of yours, we tell you the decision and the reasons for it (Art. 17 DSA). If you do not remove unlawful content despite our request, we may also terminate your account (terms of use, section 4(1)(a)); we tell you this decision and the reasons for it as well, unless a law prohibits it.
If content points to a criminal offense that threatens people’s life or safety, we inform the law enforcement authorities (Art. 18 DSA).
Reporting content
Below every showcase there is “Report page”. The link opens an email to kontakt@waffenschrank.app with a template; you can also write without it. So that we can process a report, it should contain (Art. 16(2) DSA):
- an explanation of why you consider the content illegal,
- the exact address (URL) of the showcase,
- your name and email address – except for reports concerning sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of children,
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the information in your report is accurate and complete.
We confirm receipt and tell you our decision. You can use the same route to report content that is not illegal but breaks these terms.
If you disagree with a decision
- Reply to our message. We will then review the decision again.
- You can complain to the Digital Services Coordinator of the member state where you are located or established (Art. 53 DSA). In Germany this is the Digital Services Coordinator at the Bundesnetzagentur.
- The courts remain open to you.
We do not take part in out-of-court dispute settlement under Art. 21 DSA.
Intimate images shared without consent (United States)
If a showcase or club page shows an intimate image of you – or of someone you are authorized to act for – that was published without consent, including one that was computer-generated, you can ask us to remove it. Write to kontakt@waffenschrank.app with the subject “Removal request” and include:
- your name and your signature (typing your full name is enough),
- the address (URL) of the page and which image you mean,
- a short statement that you believe in good faith that the image was published without consent,
- how we can reach you.
We remove the image within 48 hours of receiving a valid request and also remove any copies of it that we know of on Waffenschrank. This process follows the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act and is open to everyone, wherever you live. You do not need to report it through “Report page” first.
Pro and pausing
One showcase is free; additional showcases are part of Pro. If Pro ends, we pause the additional showcases you published with app version 2.5 or later; the showcase you published first stays online, as do showcases you published while a subscription started before version 2.5 was active. The address of a paused showcase then shows only “This showcase is paused”, and we delete its content from the server; in the app, it stays unchanged. If you no longer open the app, the pause takes effect no later than 45 days after the end of the Pro period the app last knew of – even if your subscription has since renewed, unless the showcase belongs to an account with Pro; with Pro, the app brings it back the next time it starts. Once Pro is active again, the app republishes paused showcases by itself at the same address as soon as it detects this on the device where you manage your showcases – except those you have taken offline in the meantime. Like any other showcase, a paused showcase is permanently deleted twelve months after its last refresh; after that, you can only publish it again with Pro under a new address.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for the content of your showcase. You can take any showcase offline at any time. A showcase is deleted automatically twelve months after it was last refreshed; its address is never reassigned afterwards.
Changes
New versions are posted on this page with their date. They apply to showcases and posts you publish after they take effect; to those already published, only if you expressly agree. If you do not agree, the previous version continues to apply to them, and you can take a showcase offline at any time. This is the same rule as in our terms of use (section 7).
Contact
Single point of contact under Art. 11 and 12 DSA: kontakt@waffenschrank.app, in German, English and French.
These terms are available in several languages. If versions differ, the one more favorable to you applies.
