Terms of Use

Not legal advice — have it reviewed by a professional if in doubt.

1. Scope and provider

These Terms of Use govern the use of the "aerius" app (the "App"), provided by Daniel Fieger ("we"). By registering for or using the App, you agree to these terms.

2. Service

The App lets you leave location-based messages ("aeridrops"), share moving statuses with private reply chats, post in location-based group chats ("aerichats"), send direct messages, and use friend, reporting and rating features. If you wish, push notifications will inform you about new messages. Individual features may not yet be, or may no longer be, available depending on the version of the App. Use is currently free of charge. There is no claim to constant availability, particular features or a particular reach; we may change, restrict or discontinue features.

3. Not an emergency service

aerius is not an emergency, rescue or safety service. The "emergency" category does not dispatch any active help either — it merely posts content at a location. In a real emergency, always contact the official emergency numbers (e.g. 112 in the EU).

4. Account and minimum age

An account is required. You must be at least 16 years old. Your information must be accurate and you must keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account.

5. User content and rules of conduct

You are solely responsible for the content you post. Prohibited in particular is content that

  • is unlawful, abusive, threatening, discriminatory, glorifies violence or endangers minors;
  • infringes third-party rights (e.g. copyright, trademark, personality rights);
  • discloses third parties' personal data without permission;
  • constitutes spam, fraud, malware or unsolicited advertising;
  • misuses the "emergency" category or other features.

Zero tolerance. We operate a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable, abusive or unlawful content and for users who harass others. We remove such content, and the accounts responsible may be suspended or deleted without prior notice. We may act against violations (see section 8).

6. Rights in user content

You retain the rights to your content. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right, to the extent required to operate the App, to store and process your content and display it to other users within the App's features. This right ends, as far as technically possible, when the respective content is deleted.

7. Public visibility

You acknowledge that content you post, as well as your username and profile picture, may be visible to other users, and that an approximate location follows from where you place content. Do not post content whose visibility you do not want.

8. Reporting, moderation and suspension

You can report content and users, block users and hide content. We review reported content promptly, usually within 24 hours, and remove it where it violates these terms. We may remove reported or violating content, restrict features, and warn, suspend or delete accounts. There is no claim to restoration of removed content.

9. Availability and changes

We strive for reliable operation but owe no particular availability. We may change these terms with future effect; for material changes we will notify you appropriately. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the then-current version.

10. Termination and account deletion

You can delete your account at any time — in the app under "Account" → "Data & account" → "Delete account" or by request to info@aerius-app.com. We may terminate the relationship for violations or for good cause.

If you remove a personal chat from your overview, it disappears only for you; the other person keeps the previous history — and vice versa. Messages already sent cannot be recalled from the recipient.

11. Liability

Other users' content does not reflect our views; we give no warranty for user-generated content. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for harm to life, body or health. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of essential contractual duties and limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical damage. Otherwise liability is excluded. Mandatory statutory liability (e.g. under product liability law) remains unaffected.

12. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected. If a provision is invalid, the remaining provisions stay effective.

13. Dispute resolution

The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025, so no reference to it is given. We are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.
