Please note that certain services offered by us may be subject to other terms and conditions. We point out such further contractual conditions to you separately in each case. In the event of dissent, the provisions of such special contractual conditions shall prevail over this GTC, unless expressly provided otherwise. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using our app. Access to the app is contingent on your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
   2. The applicability of general terms and conditions of users or other contractual partners is excluded. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms and conditions of the user or other contractual partners shall only become part of the contract if and in as far as we have expressly agreed to their validity.
   3. In addition, the provisions of the respective App Stores (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, etc.) (“App Store”), which the user has consented to with the provider of the App Store, shall apply.
   4. MindDoc provides the services according to these general terms and conditions only to users who are consumers in the sense of §13 of the German Civil Code.`
   5. We expressly point out that the services offered via the app are no substitute for a diagnosis or medical or psychotherapeutic treatment. If you have suicidal thoughts or need medical help for other reasons, please consult a local doctor or therapist, or in urgent cases an emergency ambulance.
   6. The mobile app is registered as an active medical device of risk class I “MindDoc” (registration number DE/CA59/58/2020-R/Lg) according to the Council Directive 93/42/EEC Annex IX.3 Rule 12

1. MindDoc is an app designed to enable users monitor their emotional well-being. The information obtained in the app can form a basis for the preparation and support of the necessary diagnostics and therapies by a doctor or therapist. Please note: The app cannot replace the diagnosis of a doctor or psychotherapist, it can only prepare and support the path to psychiatric or psychotherapeutic treatment. The  app offers both free and paid options.
2. Free services
   The use of the app in the basic version is free of charge (free part of the app). The free part of the app helps you find out if you are affected by depression. For this purpose, you will answer questions about your mental and physical well-being three times a day during a 14-day screening session. The time required to answer the questions can vary individually and is approximately two minutes per day. Following the 14-day screening, the app gives you a sound assessment of whether and in what form you might be suffering from depression. The only condition is that you have given a minimum number of answers. If the number of your answers is below this limit, you will receive a notification during the survey and can then start the survey again at any time.
3. Payment offers
   You can also obtain paid services and subscriptions within the app and receive additional services. This gives you access to personalized exercises and courses based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy. Please refer to the section on remuneration for more information.
4. MindDoc reserves the right to change, expand or suspend certain services. The services you have already ordered are not affected by this. The current service description in the app when registering or booking a chargeable service is decisive in each case.If we collect, process and/or transmit your personal data within the scope of the free or subscription-based part of the app, the contract or order you have entered with us also constitutes the basis for such collection and processing of personal data. As far as we require your consent for the collection of your health data, we will obtain this separately in accordance with the legal requirements. You can find more information on this in our privacy policy.

1. We offer our services to all natural persons with full legal capacity. If you have no full legal capacity when using our services or entering this contract with us, you must be represented by your parents or legal guardians. By agreeing to these GTC, you confirm that you are acting either of legal age or with the consent of your parents or other legal representatives.
2. Contracts you enter into are exclusively between you and MindDoc. The booking of chargeable services comes about only with the explicit confirmation of an order placed by you. In this respect, our offers in the app only constitute referenced invitations to place orders that still require separate acceptance by MindDoc.
3. The use of the app, however, requires that you agree to these terms and conditions for the entire use.
4. To use both the free and premium parts of the app, you do not need to register with your clear name or other personal information (such as your email address or residential address). However, so that the app can provide the services listed, we use a pseudonymized ID. The ID doesn’t allow us to identify you personally. Optionally, there is the possibility to create a dedicated account that requires the provisioning of further personal data (see our privacy policy)
5. The pseudonymized ID is also used to process payments via iTunes and Google Play Store without MindDoc receiving any personal data from you, e.g. your name. Nevertheless, a strictly confidential handling of all your data is very important to us. Therefore, we treat all data according to the same rules that apply to personal data. For more information, please see our privacy policy.

If you are a consumer within the meaning of § 13 German Civil Code, you have a statutory right of cancellation with the following provision.
