By using the SQIN Mobile Apps for iOS and Android devices (hereinafter referred to as SQIN Apps) and all services on the SQIN website, e.g. at www.sqin.co or a domain referring to it, the user agrees to the General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC"). If the user does not agree with the GTC, the registration must be waived. These General Terms and Conditions apply to all websites and apps of SQIN. They also apply regardless of whether the use of the SQIN services is free or against payment.

1. General provisions

1.1. 

The SQIN Apps refer to services of SkinTech Corp. GmbH, Zimmerstraße 50, 10117 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Provider"). Further information about the SQIN Apps and SkinTech Corp. GmbH can be found in the imprint on the website and within the app.

1.2.

The subject of this contract is the use, free of charge or against payment or financed by advertising, of the services offered by the Provider under the name SQIN via its website http://www.sqin.co, other SQIN websites or via software applications (hereinafter referred to as "services" or "Service"). If the User wishes to use a mobile app to use the Services, he can find out at http://www.sqin.co whether the Provider offers a mobile app for his terminal device or for the operating system of his terminal device. If a service is subject to a charge, this is explicitly stated.

1.3.

In principle, a Service can be used on all platforms or end devices supported by SQIN. Restrictions, in particular technical ones, can be found in the respective offer description.

These General Terms and Conditions of SkinTech Corp. GmbH, Zimmerstraße 50, 10117 Berlin, represented by the Managing Director, Mr. Martin Pentenrieder, Registergericht Amtsgericht Berlin Charlottenburg, HRB 225620 B (hereinafter: GTC) as well as the jointly responsible dermatologists within the SQIN App Platform (hereinafter: the respective dermatologist), apply both to the use of the website www.sqin.co as well as for the use of the app and webapp "SQIN" for the purpose of concluding a (remote) treatment contract.

The jointly responsible parties, SkinTech Corp. GmbH and the respective dermatologist, offer patients a teledermatological consultation. The initial consultation within the framework of this teledermatological diagnosis does not require the physical presence of the patient in the respective dermatologist.

The dermatological consultation must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of Section 7 (4) of the Model Professional Code for Physicians Working in Germany. The consultation may only be carried out by the dermatologist working in the respective area.

1. Any deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms and conditions of the patients shall not apply and shall not become part of the contract. This also applies if the patients refer to their terms and conditions vis-à-vis the Joint Managers and the Joint Managers do not expressly object to the terms and conditions.
2. By using the offer of SkinTech Corp. GmbH and the respective dermatologist, the patients accept these GTC without any restrictions.
3. Patients must register via the web app "sqin.co" or via the app "SQIN " - after prior download - before taking advantage of the treatment offer. For the teledermatological consultation, the patients take photos of the skin areas to be examined, e.g. with their smartphones. In addition, patients must fill out a medical history form. These photos and the completed medical history form are sent to SkinTech Corp.
4. The specialist consultation is carried out by the respective dermatologist within approximately 24 hours from the transmission of the photographs and the medical history form to SkinTech Corp. For the teledermatological consultation, the photographs and the completed medical history form of the respective treating dermatologists will be disclosed.
5. In individual cases, remote treatment can remain the exclusive option, provided that the specialist diagnosis can already be made conclusively on the basis of the photographs and the completed medical history form, while observing the necessary medical care, in particular through the manner in which the findings are ascertained, consultation, treatment and documentation of the treatment process.

In this case, the treating dermatologists inform the patients about the peculiarities of a purely remote treatment.

If the treating dermatologists consider a second professional assessment of the specific treatment case to be necessary, they should consult the interdisciplinary expert panel of the respective dermatologist.

If medical follow-up is required, this is carried out by medical professionals on behalf of the respective dermatologist. In this case, the medically trained specialist contacts the patient via the app or by phone.

1.4.

No registration is required to use the services. The use of the basic functions of SQIN Apps is initially possible without registration. Registration in the SQIN App can take place later.

During the registration process, the user will be asked to accept these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy. After successful registration, a confirmation email will be sent asking the user to confirm the registration by clicking on the "Confirm Account" field. After confirming the field, the user will be redirected to a website where the registration will be finally confirmed. Only then is the registration process complete. Alternatively, the user has the option to register with his Facebook account. In this case, the registration process is completed when the contact details of the respective Facebook account have been entered and the "Confirm" field has been clicked. The user assures that all data provided during registration are complete and truthful. The contract of use between the user and the provider is only concluded with an electronic confirmation by the provider.

By registering with SQIN Apps, the User accepts these Terms of Use for the use of the Services. If the user accesses the services via app and has downloaded SQIN Apps from the app store of a third party or accesses the content via an audio/video or assistant platform (such as Google Home), the respective terms and conditions of business or use of the app store or platform additionally apply; in case of contradictions, these GTC take precedence.

1.6.

When downloading and using SQIN Apps, especially in foreign networks or abroad, the user may incur transmission costs from his Internet access provider.

1.7.

The prerequisite for using the services is reaching the age of 18 and full legal capacity. The services are aimed exclusively at consumers.

SkinTech Corp. GmbH does not owe the success of the access to the website or the app.
2. SkinTech Corp. GmbH will always push the technical development of the app and the webapp "SQIN". In order to maintain the quality standards, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance work on the app and the webapp "SQIN". SkinTech Corp. GmbH reserves the right to carry out this work at any time, even if this temporarily interrupts access to the app and the webapp "SQIN". In this case, the patients are not entitled to any claims for damages.

1.10.

Obligations of the patients

1. Patients undertake to provide truthful information both during registration and when using the app and the "SQIN" web app. They are aware that they are solely responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
2. Patients are prohibited from providing information or posting content within the scope of the application that illegally infringes the rights of third parties. In case of a violation of this obligation, SkinTech Corp. GmbH is entitled to terminate the user contract without notice and the respective dermatologist is entitled to terminate the treatment contract without notice. Further rights are reserved, in particular to injunctive relief and damages. In the event of a violation, the patients undertake to indemnify SkinTech Corp.

Also in case of violation of this obligation, SkinTech Corp. GmbH is entitled to block the access of the patients immediately.

2. Paid services

2.1.

Some services of SQIN Apps are subject to a fee. The scope of the services included and usable by the user depends on whether and which services are used free of charge or against payment. In the case of free use, the user has access to certain basic functions and information of the respective services. An extended range of functions is available to the user if the services are activated for the user as part of a subscription. The SQIN Apps provide an overview of the available chargeable services, their fees, scope of services, restrictions and conditions. Payment of the fee entitles the user only to access the services available or visible in the offer presentation. All fees stated are inclusive of the applicable value added tax.

2.2.

The individual steps of the purchase of paid services are described in the descriptions within the app store of the third party provider, the SQIN Apps or the website www.sqin.co . With the order, the user makes an offer. The mere activation of the order button does not constitute a purchase contract for the paid content. Only after successful payment and corresponding electronic confirmation is the order considered accepted and the purchase contract is concluded. Acceptance can also be implied, in particular by activating the chargeable services.

2.3.

The SQIN apps offer the possibility to unlock the entire app content by making a payment. The SQIN apps offer subscriptions with different minimum terms. With the activation of the paid content, the user receives the right to use it permanently for his own, non-commercial purposes on all compatible devices connected to his App Store account. Any further use - in particular publication on the Internet as well as unauthorized reproduction, distribution or making available of the content via the Internet, whether free of charge or for a fee - is not permitted. The same applies to the copying of the contents, the removal of copyright notices and source information as well as other processing or manipulation of the download. The rights of use granted are not transferable or sublicensable and require full payment. The uses permitted under copyright law are not restricted.

The provider is entitled to revise, update or otherwise change the content at any time, if this should be necessary for technical, legal or content-related reasons.

The provider will keep all acquired digital data available for download for a reasonable period of time. However, unlimited data backup and data availability cannot be guaranteed. The user should therefore save his downloads in parallel locally on connected end devices. The user will be expressly informed in advance if the content can no longer be made available for download by the provider.

2.4.

The payment methods presented in the offer are accepted; the payment process is usually operated by corresponding service providers. These may in particular be the payment systems offered by the respective app store operators. Insofar as the respective service provider includes its own general terms and conditions of business or use (GTC) in individual cases, these shall apply exclusively to the payment process. The User may need to have a user account with the service provider.

2.5.

The App Store provider can influence the duration or the extension or the offer of its paid services. Depending on the App Store, paid services may expire at the end of the agreed term without requiring termination, or the respective contract term may be extended indefinitely or by a corresponding period of time. Details can be found in the GTC or the respective offer presentation of the App Store. The App Store offers the option to cancel paid services via a corresponding menu item.

2.6.

If fees cannot be collected and if the user is responsible for the event triggering the collection, the user shall bear all resulting costs. If payments made are reversed or if the user does not pay any fees, SQIN is entitled to block the SQIN apps completely or to block access to individual services.

2.7.

The provider may offer users paid services free of charge for a certain period of time. Which user can participate in a test offer is at the sole discretion of the provider. The provider may change the scope of services of the test offer or terminate the provision of a test offer at any time. 

2.8.

The Provider reserves the right to change its business model at any time and, for example, to offer certain or all services only against payment. The respective fees will be published in the SQIN Apps. The user is free to terminate the use of the service or to opt for the further use of the service against payment.

2.9.

We reserve the right to assert further claims due to default of payment.

2.10.

The provider can employ people who are active on the platform either as volunteers or for payment. These persons may act as coaches in groups or contact the user to support and motivate him or her in using the app. These persons may also act within the scope of paid functions.
