Terms and Conditions

This English version is for convenience; the German AGB are legally binding.

§ 1 Scope and provider. These Terms apply to our software products (CtrlField, CtrlField Pro, CtrlTheme) and services provided by ctrlCheese, owner Lama Mtit, Hopfgartenstr. 14, 01307 Dresden, Germany. A “consumer” and “entrepreneur” are defined as under §§ 13, 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

§ 2 Seller / payment (Merchant of Record). Paid products are sold through our reseller Lemon Squeezy, which acts as Merchant of Record and is the legal seller; the purchase contract for the product is concluded with Lemon Squeezy, and its terms and refund policy also apply. Lemon Squeezy handles payment, invoicing and any VAT/sales tax. We provide the licence and support under these Terms.

§ 3 Products. CtrlField (Free) is provided free of charge under its accompanying licence. CtrlField Pro is a paid licence; plans differ in the number of permitted live websites (staging included) and include updates and Pro features for the licence term. Other products are offered as available.

§ 4 Formation of contract. Product listings are an invitation to order. By submitting your order via Lemon Squeezy you make a binding offer; the contract is formed upon confirmation / delivery of the product or licence key.

§ 5 Prices and payment. Prices are in euros as stated at the time of order. As a small business under § 19 UStG we do not show German VAT; any applicable tax is handled by Lemon Squeezy, which issues the invoice.

§ 6 Licence terms. On full payment you receive a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the product within the agreed scope (number of live websites plus staging). The licence key is confidential; resale or use beyond the purchased scope is not permitted without our consent. Where components are under an open-source licence (e.g. GPL), those terms prevail for those components; the paid licence covers access to updates, Pro features and support.

§ 7 Term, renewal, cancellation. Annual licences run for the stated term; one-time licences include updates for the stated period. If a subscription auto-renews, we state this before purchase; consumers may cancel as provided by law (after the initial term, with no more than one month’s notice), via the customer account, Lemon Squeezy, or by email. After a licence ends, installed products keep working but receive no further updates or new Pro features until renewed.

§ 8 Right of withdrawal (consumers). You have the right to withdraw within fourteen days of contract conclusion without giving reasons, by a clear statement to us or to Lemon Squeezy. For digital content not supplied on a physical medium (software download / licence key), the right of withdrawal lapses once performance has begun after you (a) expressly consented to performance beginning before the withdrawal period ends, and (b) acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. (A model withdrawal form is included in the German version.)

§ 9 Warranty and liability. Statutory warranty rights apply. We do not warrant fitness for every individual purpose or uninterrupted, error-free operation in every environment. We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation, limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damage. Liability under the Product Liability Act is unaffected.

§ 10 Services (agency/projects). (optional) Individual development, consulting and maintenance work is governed by the relevant quote/order confirmation in addition to these Terms.

§ 11 Licence server availability. Activation and updates may require a connection to our licence server. If it is temporarily unreachable, a three-day grace period applies during which Pro features remain available.

§ 12 Changes. We may change these Terms for the future where there is a valid reason (e.g. changes in law), notifying you of material changes in good time.

§ 13 Final provisions. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; for consumers this does not deprive them of mandatory protections of their country of residence. If any provision is invalid, the rest remains effective.
