1. Scope

These Terms of Service govern your use of the PublicStatus service (the "Service"), operated by Cosmic Drift Game Studio, Marc Frost, Slevogtstr. 10, 04159 Leipzig, Germany (the "Provider"). By registering for or using the Service, you accept these Terms.

2. Service Description

The Service provides hosted status pages on which operators publish the availability status of their systems and visitors can subscribe to updates. The feature scope depends on the selected plan. The Provider continuously develops the Service and may change, add or discontinue features.

3. Registration and Account

An account is required to use the Service. You provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential and notify us without undue delay if you suspect misuse of your account. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

4. User Obligations

You will not use the Service unlawfully or abusively, will not publish unlawful, offensive or infringing content, will not distribute malware and will not impair the operation of the Service (e.g. by automated mass requests). You are solely responsible for the content you submit.

5. Availability

The Provider strives for high availability but does not warrant it. In particular, the free plan carries no entitlement to any specific availability (no SLA). Maintenance, incidents or circumstances beyond the Provider's control (e.g. outages of sub-processors) may cause interruptions.

6. Pricing and Payment

Paid plans are billed at the prices shown in the Service. Payments are processed by our payment provider (Stripe). Unless stated otherwise, prices include statutory VAT. Payments for current billing periods are not refunded on a pro-rata basis except where required by mandatory law.

7. Term and Termination

The contract runs for an indefinite period. Free accounts may be terminated by either party at any time without notice. Paid subscriptions may be cancelled effective at the end of the respective billing period. The right to extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected. The Provider may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

8. Liability

The Provider is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health and for intent and gross negligence. For slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected. For services provided free of charge (free plan), the Provider is liable only for intent and gross negligence.

9. Warranty

The Service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, the Provider does not warrant that the Service is uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose.

10. Data Protection

Information on the processing of personal data is available in our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to the Terms

The Provider may amend these Terms with effect for the future, e.g. due to changes in the law or feature scope. You will be informed of material changes in good time. If you do not object within a reasonable period or continue using the Service, the amended Terms are deemed accepted.

12. Final Provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is the Provider's registered seat. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country of your habitual residence remain unaffected. Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
