Effective: 1 April 2026
This English translation is provided for accessibility and information. In case of differences, the German terms are the authoritative version.
1. Scope and parties
These terms apply to the use of autofetch at https://autofetch.de, whether the service is provided free of charge or for a fee. The provider is Han Esser, Schloßgasse 6a, 65239 Hochheim am Main, Germany.
2. Service
autofetch is a technical job-coordination service. It checks sources configured by the user, creates abstract download jobs from defined rules and makes them available to a local client.
The actual retrieval and download are performed exclusively by the user's client, hardware, internet connection and IP address. autofetch does not host or relay media files.
No uninterrupted availability is guaranteed. Features may be changed, extended or limited.
3. Registration
The service is intended for adults with full legal capacity. Users must provide accurate account information, protect credentials and must not share access with third parties.
Accounts may be suspended or deleted where misuse or a violation of these terms is suspected.
4. User responsibility
Users are solely responsible for the legality of configured sources and content retrieved by their client. Use is permitted only for content the user is authorised to access. Conditions imposed by external source services must be respected.
The user indemnifies the provider against third-party claims resulting from culpable unlawful use, including reasonable defence costs.
5. Liability
Liability is limited according to German law to intent and gross negligence, and for slightly negligent breaches of essential contractual duties to foreseeable typical damage. The provider is not liable for user misconfiguration, local bandwidth or infrastructure costs, external source failures, downloaded content or damage caused by outdated client software.
Limitations do not apply to injury to life, body or health or mandatory product-liability claims.
6. Availability and backups
The provider aims for reliable operation but gives no guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free use. Users remain responsible for backups of their own configuration and downloaded files.
7. Termination
Users may close their account at any time. The provider may terminate the relationship with reasonable notice or immediately where justified. Data is normally deleted within 30 days after termination unless legal retention duties apply.
8. Privacy
Personal data is processed under the privacy policy.
9. Changes
Changes to the terms may be communicated by email. Where legally permissible, failure to object within the stated period may be treated as acceptance only when the notice clearly explains this consequence.
10. Final provisions
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is the provider's registered location where legally permissible. Invalid individual provisions do not affect the remaining terms.
