Termos de uso
This is a translation; the German version is legally binding. Deutsche Fassung
Esta página só está disponível em alemão e inglês. A versão em alemão é a juridicamente vinculante.
1. Provider and scope
Rookie Overlay is a program by Michael Obermair, address see legal notice. These terms apply to the use of the program, the website rookie-overlay.com and an account there.
2. Free and Pro
The Free version is free of charge, unlimited in time and usable without an account. Pro unlocks additional overlays and features; which ones is listed on the home page. Pro applies to one account and is unlocked in the program by signing in with that account. For this, the program checks the Pro status over the internet; without a connection, the last known status applies. Without Pro, the program locks the Pro features and one layout remains usable. Saved layouts are kept.
Members of the Hotlap Club of the Rookie Racing League receive Pro for as long as their membership runs if they link their account with rookie-racing.eu in their profile. The membership is subject to the terms of the Rookie Racing League.
3. Free trial month
After confirming its email address, an account receives one month of Pro free of charge once, once per email address. No payment details are required. The trial month ends by itself and does not turn into a subscription; afterwards Free applies. Anyone who has already purchased through Paddle does not receive a trial month. If you purchase during the trial month, the paid Pro period only starts after the trial ends; payment is taken at the time of purchase.
4. Purchase through Paddle
Pro is sold by our reseller Paddle.com Market Limited (Merchant of Record). Paddle is the contracting party for purchase, payment, invoice, cancellation and refund, and the Paddle Buyer Terms apply. The prices on this website are final prices in euros including VAT. Paddle shows the VAT due in the respective country on the invoice. The price shown by the Paddle checkout before the purchase is decisive.
5. Subscription and cancellation
Pro is available monthly, every six months or yearly. Paddle charges the amount at the start of each period. The subscription renews for the same period each time until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time under “Account” → “Manage subscription and payment method”; Pro then stays active until the end of the paid period. After that, or if a payment fails and is not made up, Pro ends and the program locks the Pro features. When you get money back is described on the refund page; refunds are paid out by Paddle.
6. Use and licence
You may use the program privately and when streaming, including in monetised streams (for example with income from ads, subscriptions or donations), in league broadcasts and when commentating races.
A Pro licence applies to one person and their account. You may use Pro on your own PCs. If several people use Pro, for example in a team or in a league’s broadcast team, each person needs their own account with Pro.
You may not modify or decrypt the program or circumvent the Pro lock, share the account with others or resell the program. Rookie Overlay reads data only through the official interfaces of the games. The rules of the games, platforms and leagues in which you race or stream continue to apply, and you are responsible for complying with them.
7. Availability and changes
We keep developing Rookie Overlay, and features may change in the process. We do not remove core features of Pro during a paid period. The program depends on interfaces of the games, which their makers may change. We try to deliver adjustments quickly but cannot promise that every feature works with every game version at all times. Rookie Overlay is an independent program and is not affiliated with the makers of the games.
8. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for personal injury. In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breaches of essential obligations and limited to the foreseeable damage. Mandatory consumer rights, in particular the statutory warranty, remain unaffected.
9. Ending the account
You can delete your account at any time under “Account”. You must cancel a running subscription beforehand, otherwise Paddle would keep charging. We may block an account if it violates section 6. With the block, Pro ends in the program. If a block turns out to be unjustified, the unused part is refunded. You can also cancel a running subscription while blocked; to do so, sign in as usual.
10. Changes to these terms
We announce changes to these terms by email in good time beforehand. Material changes apply to a running subscription only if you agree to them. If you do not agree, the previous terms continue to apply to your subscription until it ends. Purely editorial or technical changes that do not put you at a disadvantage apply after our notice by email.
11. Law and disputes
Austrian law applies. If you live in another EU country as a consumer, you keep the mandatory consumer protection rules of that country. We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Questions and complaints are welcome via the contact form.
