Terms of Service (ToS)

Status: May 2026

§ 1 Scope and Contractual Partner

These Terms of Service govern the provision and use of the SaaS service "bordero" available at https://bordero.de (hereinafter referred to as the "Service"). The operator of the Service is the provider named in the Imprint (hereinafter referred to as the "Provider").

For the paid acquisition of subscriptions and payment processing, your exclusive contractual partner is our reseller Paddle.com Market Limited (London, UK). The terms and conditions of Paddle apply complementarily in this respect.

By registering an account or using the Service, you agree to the validity of these terms. Deviating terms and conditions of the user shall not be recognized.

§ 2 Scope of Services and Availability

The Provider provides the user with a web-based software solution for the digital management and recording of logbook entries. The exact scope of functions is derived from the current product description on the website.

The Provider endeavors to ensure the best possible availability of the Service but does not guarantee uninterrupted accessibility. Necessary maintenance work, server updates, or unpredictable outages (e.g., due to force majeure or disruptions at the infrastructure host) do not justify any claims for damages or reduction of fees.

§ 3 User Obligations and Account Security

The user is obliged to keep access credentials (email and password) secret and protect them from unauthorized access by third parties. Any unauthorized use of the account must be reported to the Provider immediately.

The user agrees to use the Service exclusively for lawful purposes. It is prohibited to introduce malicious code, attack system integrity, or overload the Service in a way that impairs the infrastructure.

§ 4 Payment Terms and Default

The use of the basic version of the Service may be free of charge. Extended features and the full use of the SaaS product require the conclusion of a paid subscription.

Prices, terms, and billing periods are displayed during the checkout process via Paddle. If the user defaults on payment for a subscription, the Provider is entitled to temporarily block access to the Service until all outstanding claims are settled.

§ 5 Limitation of Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health caused by an intentional or negligent breach of duty, as well as for other damages caused by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or malicious intent.

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations – i.e., obligations whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place), the liability of the Provider is limited to the typically foreseeable damage. In all other cases, the Provider's liability is excluded.

The user is solely responsible for regularly backing up their own data (e.g., through exports).

§ 6 Term and Termination

Free accounts can be deleted by the user at any time and can be terminated by the Provider with reasonable notice. Paid subscriptions automatically renew for the selected billing period and can be terminated at any time at the end of the current period via the account settings or via Paddle.

The right to terminate without notice for an important reason (e.g., severe violations of these Terms of Service or persistent default in payment) remains unaffected for both parties.

§ 7 Amendments to the Terms of Service

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms of Service if necessary due to technical, economic, or legal reasons. Amendments will be communicated to the user via email or during login to the application at least four weeks prior to their entry into force.

If the user does not object to the changes within this period, the new conditions shall be deemed accepted. In the event of an objection, the Provider is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship orderly at the earliest possible date.

§ 8 Final Provisions

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive venue and jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract shall be Duisburg, Germany.
