Terms of Use

1. Scope and contracting party

These terms of use govern the use of the CountryRush app and the in-app purchases offered through it. The provider and your contracting party is Mathys IT, owner Tizian Mathys (address and contact see Legal Notice). These terms apply to consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Only these terms apply; deviating terms of the user do not become part of the contract.

2. Services

CountryRush is a geography quiz for Android and iOS. Basic use is free and financed by advertising. Optionally we offer the following paid digital products:

Ad-free: permanently removes advertising for your account (a non-consumable one-time purchase).
Ticket packs: skip and time tickets that you use in the game as jokers (consumable products).

The scope, function and price of the products are shown to you before purchase in the respective app store.

3. Conclusion of contract and processing

Purchases are handled through the respective app store (Google Play or Apple App Store). The store processes the payment; we are the provider of the digital content. The contract for an in-app purchase is concluded when you confirm the purchase in the store and the store confirms the transaction. For cross-device restoration of purchases an (anonymous) account may be required in the app.

4. Prices

Prices are shown in the app store in euros. As a small business within the meaning of Section 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG) we do not show value added tax. The prices shown are final prices.

5. Right of withdrawal for consumers

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. The following withdrawal policy applies. Please note the information on the early expiry of the right of withdrawal for digital content.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of conclusion of the contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Mathys IT, owner Tizian Mathys, c/o Adressgeber #2105, An der Alten Ziegelei 38, 48157 Münster, Germany, email: kontakt@mathys-it.de) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but this is not mandatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline it is sufficient that you send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we receive notification of your withdrawal. If the payment is processed through the app store, please also contact the respective store for the refund.

Early expiry of the right of withdrawal

For a contract for the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium (e.g. the ad-free unlock, tickets), the right of withdrawal expires once we have begun performance of the contract after you have (1) expressly agreed that we begin performance before the withdrawal period expires, and (2) confirmed your awareness that by giving your consent you lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins. We obtain this consent and confirmation during the purchase process.

6. Liability for defects

The statutory provisions on contracts for digital products (Sections 327 et seq. BGB) apply to the digital products, including the statutory supply and update obligations where applicable.

7. Use and conduct rules

When using the online features (including display name, leaderboards, duels, friends list) the following applies:

You do not choose an offensive, unlawful, misleading display name or one that infringes the rights of third parties, and you do not submit such content.
You do not manipulate results or leaderboards and do not disrupt operation.
In the event of violations we may reset display names, remove content and block accounts.

You can report and block other users in the app. You can also send reports and complaints by email to kontakt@mathys-it.de.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as under the Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health. In the case of simple negligence we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise liability is excluded.

9. Availability and changes

We strive for reliable operation but do not owe uninterrupted availability. We may amend these terms of use with effect for the future insofar as this is necessary for a valid reason and does not unreasonably disadvantage you. We will inform you of material changes in an appropriate manner.

10. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. This English text is a convenience translation; in case of doubt the German version applies.

11. Status

July 2026. These terms are updated when the app or the legal requirements change.
