2. The PLAYMOBIL universe and our apps

All rights to the apps, information and other content posted on our websites are owned by PLAYMOBIL. This includes, but is not limited to, all rights to trademarks, trade names, titles, designs, graphics, logos, photos, images, text and all other content posted on our websites (together and individually also referred to as "PROTECTED CONTENT"). Our PROTECTED CONTENT therefore also includes all copyrights, ancillary copyrights, trademarks, patents and other rights. All rights to the PROTECTED CONTENT are reserved and any use of our PROTECTED CONTENT not expressly permitted by us is prohibited.

3. Free use of our Apps and availability

We make the use of our apps available to you free of charge, whereby we reserve the right to remove individual or all apps from our offers at any time. For the use of our apps, we hereby grant you the simple, non-transferable right, revocable at any time by us, to use the apps posted on our websites and our PROTECTED CONTENT contained therein for private and non-commercial purposes as provided for in the app and - insofar as a download is permitted in the respective app - to download the content created with the app for exclusively private use. Insofar as the app permits links to social media websites, we additionally grant you the simple, non-transferable right, revocable at any time, to share the content created with the app with other private users on a non-commercial basis via social media, provided that this content and its use are in accordance with our Terms of Use as amended from time to time and the Terms of Use of the social media websites and in compliance with the statutory provisions and in compliance with all third-party rights. Furthermore, any further use of our PROTECTED CONTENT outside of the App is prohibited.

In terms of time, this simple right of use is unlimited unless revoked by us. After that, any further use and distribution of the content you have created based on our content is not permitted. In terms of time, this simple right of use is limited and ends at the latest three months after deletion of the corresponding app on our website, unless we have previously revoked it. After this period, any further use and distribution of the content created by you on basis of our content is inadmissible.

We also do not guarantee the availability of the apps from a technical point of view and exclude any liability for their availability.

4. Your own contents

a. Simple right of use for PLAYMOBIL: As far as you combine the PROTECTED CONTENT of PLAYMOBIL with your own content, such as text or images, when using our apps, you hereby grant PLAYMOBIL a simple, temporally and locally unlimited and at any time freely transferable, free of charge right of use of this content thus created and combined. By doing so, you allow us to use these contents created in this way on our websites, platforms of third parties and also via other media and also for advertising purposes.

b. Rights of third parties: If, in addition to the PROTECTED CONTENTS of PLAYMOBIL, you wish to make use of existing works or protected rights of third parties when using our apps and in the further use of the contents created hereby, you must obtain the consent of the respective third party before such use. This applies to copyrights and ancillary copyrights of third parties (e.g. to photos, artwork, texts, music etc.) as well as to the use of names, business names, trademarks etc. of third parties, which may not be used without their consent. You hereby guarantee that you have clarified any third-party rights that may have been used and indemnify us in this respect against all third-party claims.

c. No illegal content, reputation-damaging content, hate speech, political statements or content which could be inadmissible or impair the development of children or young people (in terms of the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media and the Youth Protection Act) or without being illegal, against the ethics guidelines of PLAYMOBIL (https://company.playmobil.com/Company/)

d. No Market Confusion: You agree that when using our PROTECTED CONTENT, you will refrain from connecting or placing our PROTECTED CONTENT in a common context with any content or offerings of third parties, especially those aimed at children.

e. No liability of PLAYMOBIL for your contents and assertion of claims for injunctive relief and deletion: Beyond our own PROTECTED CONTENT, we do not assume any responsibility and liability for the contents created by you with the help of our apps and distributed by you. You yourself are responsible for this content created by you and for compliance with the statutory provisions and our Terms of Use and indemnify us in this respect from all claims of third parties. However, in order to be able to act and/or to limit possible impending damage in the event of a violation committed or predominantly likely to be committed by you against third parties or against our Terms of Use, we also reserve the right to take our own legal action. You therefore expressly agree that we may at any time directly demand from you, but also from third parties, that you cease and desist from the use and distribution as well as the deletion of the content created by you with the help of our apps and distributed by and/or to third parties, without any further action on your part being required.

5. Informing your children about the terms of use

It is important that your child/children understand the scope of permitted use in accordance with our Terms of Use and, in particular, that when content is shared with third parties via social media, it is in compliance with existing law. Once shared or posted on the Internet, it is difficult to remove content from the Internet, so it is important that you understand the rights of third parties and explain them to your child/children.

If you and/or your child/children violate these Terms of Use, we reserve the right to exclude you from any future use of our virtual content.

6. Updating our terms of use

In an effort to achieve constant optimization, we also reserve the right to continuously improve our terms of use and adapt them to possible changes in legal requirements or our offers. If this is the case, we will post our Terms of Use in an adapted version on our website and, as in the past, we will seek your consent to these Terms of Use before any further use of our Apps by you. If you are already working with content that you created based on a previous version of our Terms of Use and do not agree with the new Terms of Use, you must immediately cease using this previously created content. If you continue to use our content, we assume that you agree with the new terms of use.

7. Applicable law

These terms of use are subject to German law.
