Terms of use

This is a courtesy translation. The German version is legally binding.

Last updated: 16 August 2026

1. Scope

These terms apply to the use of the iPhone app “Handschlag”. The provider is the responsible party named in the Imprint. The app is aimed at businesses and is not offered for private use.

2. Purchase and contracting party

The app is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store. The contracting party for the purchase of a subscription is Apple. Apple’s terms apply to payment, invoicing and refunds; please direct refund requests to Apple directly. We receive no payment data.

3. Scope of the service

Handschlag creates quotes as PDFs from your input, spoken or typed, manages their status and reminds you to follow up. Your business data is processed on your device.

4. Free use and subscription

The first three complete quotes are free; drafts do not count. After that, a subscription is required to create further quotes (€24.99 a month or €199 a year, each including VAT). Quotes already created remain permanently readable, editable and exportable regardless.

The subscription renews automatically until it is cancelled. Cancellation is done in the subscription settings of your Apple account, not with us.

5. No legal or tax advice

The app checks the formal mandatory details of a quote and points out missing ones. This check is a technical aid and not legal or tax advice. It replaces neither a check by your tax adviser nor your own responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the documents you send. That applies in particular to the application of the small-business rule under § 19 UStG, to tax rates and to details required by professional regulations.

6. Your cooperation

The quality of the documents produced depends on the details you store and dictate. Check every quote before sending, especially quantities, prices and customer data.

7. Availability

The app works largely without an internet connection. Individual functions require a connection, such as the address search, the first download of the language pack and purchases. We give no guarantee for the availability of third-party services, in particular Apple’s.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of simple negligence we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation, meaning one whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely; in that case liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

For loss of data we are liable only to the extent that would have arisen with regular backups, appropriate to the significance of the data, on your part. As the data is on your device, please ensure a backup through your iPhone’s data backup.

9. Changes

We may change these terms where this is prompted by a change in the law, in case law or in the scope of the service. We will give timely notice of changes in the app.

10. Applicable law

German law applies. If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is the provider’s registered seat.
