Terms and Conditions of Glowiszyn UG

Last updated: 19 September 2026

Part A

General Terms – applying to all our apps

1. Scope and Provider (Umbrella Terms)

These Terms apply as “umbrella” terms to all mobile applications, web services and websites (together, the “Service”) operated by Glowiszyn UG. Part A applies to every app. Parts B and C apply in addition as soon as you order physical print products through an app. Part D contains additions for individual apps; in case of conflict, the app-specific section prevails over the general part.

The provider and your contractual partner is:

Glowiszyn UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Mellinghofer Str. 10, 45143 Essen, Germany
Commercial register: HRB 30829, Local Court of Essen
Represented by: Dennis Glowiszyn
VAT ID: DE 328 852 682
Email: hello@glowiszyn.com · Phone: +49 (0) 1573 8423 995

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, you may not use the Service.

2. Licence and Permitted Use

We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to download, install and use our applications strictly in accordance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

  • decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, or decrypt the application;
  • use the application for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, state, national or international law;
  • harass, abuse, threaten or incite violence towards any individual or group;
  • use the application to generate or distribute unsolicited commercial email (“spam”).

3. User Content and Image Rights

Some of our applications process images, audio or other content you provide (“Content”). You retain all ownership rights in your Content. We acquire only those rights required to provide the respective function (e.g. editing, display and – for a print order – printing and shipping).

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licences, rights, consents and permissions for that Content and that its processing does not infringe any third-party rights (in particular copyright, trademark or personality rights). You indemnify Glowiszyn UG against third-party claims arising from an infringement for which you are responsible. We may refuse and remove manifestly unlawful, harmful or criminal content.

4. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

Some apps offer paid features as a one-off purchase or a subscription. You conclude these purchases with Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), not with us. Billing, renewal, cancellation and refunds are governed by the terms of the respective store; please contact Apple or Google directly for those.

Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. When a subscription ends, the Pro features cease; results already generated locally on your device remain available.

This is distinct from the print service (Part B), where Glowiszyn UG itself is your contractual partner.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Services

Free versions of some apps may contain advertising. Our Service may also contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, their content, privacy practices or availability. The third-party providers we integrate are listed in our Privacy Policy.

6. Availability, Updates and Discontinuation

We do not guarantee that our applications are compatible with all devices or operating system versions, or that they are available without interruption. We may update, modify or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time. Services already paid for but not yet delivered remain unaffected.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding content provided by users), features and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Glowiszyn UG and its licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. For simple negligence we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation, limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise liability is excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

9. Age Requirement

Use of the Service is permitted only to persons who have reached the minimum age required under the law applicable to them. Minors may use paid features only with the consent of a parent or guardian.

10. Data Protection

How we process personal data is described in our equally central Privacy Policy (German version: Datenschutzerklärung).

11. Changes to these Terms

We may modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to the new terms taking effect. For orders already placed, the version valid at the time of the order always applies.

12. Final Provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected. Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of those rights.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Part B

Terms of Sale – Print Service

This part applies in addition to Part A to all orders of custom-printed products (e.g. posters, canvases, acrylic prints, mugs) placed through our apps and their integrated print service. The seller is Glowiszyn UG as identified in Part A section 1.

§ 1 Conclusion of Contract

The presentation of products during the order process is not a binding offer. By clicking the “Order now (binding)” button and completing payment, you make a binding offer to purchase the items in your cart. The contract is concluded upon our acceptance, at the latest with confirmation of payment or the order confirmation by email. The contract text is not stored separately; these Terms can be retrieved on this page at any time.

§ 2 Products

You upload your own image content, which is printed individually for you on the selected product and format. The goods are therefore made to your specifications / personalised. Minor, technically unavoidable deviations in colour and format compared to the on-screen display are possible and do not constitute a defect.

§ 3 Prices and Shipping

All prices are final prices in the currency shown and include statutory VAT and shipping, unless stated otherwise during the order process. The total price applicable to you is shown before you place the order. Any import duties or customs charges for deliveries outside the EU are borne by the purchaser.

§ 4 Payment

Payment is processed by our payment provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.). The available payment methods (incl. credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay) are shown at checkout. The purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.

§ 5 Production, Delivery and Delivery Time

Production and shipping are carried out by a professional print and logistics partner (Gelato), producing locally worldwide. The estimated delivery time is shown during the order process and is usually a few business days plus production time. Delivery times are non-binding approximate values unless a fixed date has been agreed. As the items are individually manufactured, changes or cancellations are no longer possible once production has started.

§ 6 Retention of Title

The goods remain our property until payment has been made in full.

§ 7 Right of Withdrawal – Exclusion

As our print products are goods made to your individual specifications or clearly tailored to your personal needs, there is no right of withdrawal pursuant to Section 312g(2) no. 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB). By placing the order you expressly agree that production of your custom product begins immediately. Details and the full cancellation policy are set out in Part C.

§ 8 Rights to Uploaded Content

Part A section 3 applies. In particular, you warrant that printing and shipping your image does not infringe any third-party rights. We may reject orders with manifestly unlawful or criminal content.

§ 9 Warranty

Statutory warranty rights apply. In the event of transport damage or production defects, please contact us promptly at hello@glowiszyn.com – ideally with a photo of the defect – so that we can arrange a replacement or refund.

§ 10 Liability

Part A section 8 applies.

§ 11 Data Protection for Print Orders

To process your order, your uploaded image and your delivery and contact details are transmitted to our print partner (Gelato); payment is handled by Stripe. Your print image is stored on our servers only temporarily for order fulfilment and is then deleted. For details see our Privacy Policy.

Part C

Right of Withdrawal (Cancellation Policy)

This cancellation policy applies to distance contracts that you, as a consumer, conclude directly with Glowiszyn UG (haftungsbeschränkt) – in particular orders for physical print products placed through our apps.

Note on app-store purchases: Purchases and subscriptions made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are concluded with Apple or Google as your contractual partner. For withdrawal, cancellation and refunds of such purchases, the terms of the respective store apply; please contact Apple or Google accordingly.

1. No right of withdrawal for personalised products

For orders of products made to your individual specifications that you design with your own image (e.g. poster, canvas or acrylic glass featuring your own photo/artwork), there is no right of withdrawal.

Pursuant to Section 312g(2) no. 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the right of withdrawal is excluded for goods that are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual choice or determination by the consumer is decisive, or which are clearly tailored to the consumer's personal requirements.

We expressly point out this exclusion during the checkout process before you place your order.

2. Right of withdrawal (for contracts not excluded above)

Insofar as a contract is not covered by the exclusion in section 1, you have the following 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

  • for the purchase of goods: on which you or a third party named by you, other than the carrier, takes possession of the goods;
  • for services and digital content: of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us

Glowiszyn UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Mellinghofer Str. 10
45143 Essen, Germany
Email: hello@glowiszyn.com

of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Early expiry for digital content

In the case of contracts for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal expires if we have begun performance of the contract after you have expressly consented to us beginning performance before the end of the withdrawal period and you have acknowledged your awareness that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins (Section 356(5) BGB).

3. Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

4. Model withdrawal form

(If you want to withdraw from the contract, please complete and return this form.)

Part D

Additional Terms for Individual Apps

The following sections apply in addition to Parts A to C for the app named in each case. In case of conflict, the app-specific section prevails.

PopArt Studio

PopArt Studio turns your own photos into pop-art artwork using an image filter. Image processing takes place entirely on your device; photos are transmitted to us only if you actively order a design as a print. Parts B and C apply to such orders.

Live Deficit – Health & Fitness Data

The application Live Deficit can optionally read your active energy burned (calories) from Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iOS), and only after you explicitly connect it in the app. This data is read-only, is processed exclusively on your device, and is never transmitted to us, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.

Not a medical service: The app is provided for information and motivation purposes only. It is neither a medical device nor a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Do not make health decisions based solely on the values displayed.

Flea Market Finder – Listings and Submissions

The application Flea Market Finder is a directory of flea markets and similar events. We do not organise the listed markets and are not a party to any agreement between you and an organiser. We review entries before publishing them, but we do not guarantee that a market takes place or that times, addresses and fees are still correct; please check with the organiser before a long trip.

When you submit a market or a correction, you confirm that the details are accurate to the best of your knowledge and contain no advertising, no content you hold no rights to and no personal data of others. You grant Glowiszyn UG a simple, unlimited right to publish and editorially correct the details in the app and on the website. Submissions appear only after review; we may shorten, correct, reject or remove them, and there is no right to publication.

Finance Tracker

Finance Tracker is a household budget book. All data you enter (entries, budgets, recurring entries, savings goals) is stored exclusively on your device. There is no user account and no cloud synchronisation. This also means that we cannot restore your data if you uninstall the app, change devices or clear the app's data. You are responsible for your own backups – please use the export function for that.

On start-up the app fetches a small configuration file from our server so that we can adjust details such as store addresses or notice texts without shipping a new app version. Without a network connection the app continues to work unchanged with its built-in defaults.

If you send feedback from within the app, you grant us the right to use your input to improve the app; there is no entitlement to a reply or to implementation. Please do not send feedback containing confidential information or personal data of others.

The web preview at financetracker.glowiszyn.com/app stores entries only in your browser's storage. It is a preview and not a backup: if the browser storage is cleared, those entries are lost. Transferring data into the app is done via a backup file you export yourself.

Not financial or tax advice: The app is a tool for your own overview. Analyses, forecasts and totals are calculated without warranty and do not constitute financial, investment or tax advice. We accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of the values displayed; your bank statements and official records always prevail.
