SPOLLOW terms of use

Version 1.3

Version 1.4 · Published November 4, 2026 · Effective from November 4, 2026

1. Provider and scope

SPOLLOW is provided by Felix Köhler, trading as Needbuilt - Software & Apps, Sydneystraße 18, 22297 Hamburg, Germany. Contact spollow@needbuilt.de, legal@needbuilt.de for legal questions, or +49 1567 9527184.

These terms are general contractual terms for using SPOLLOW. They describe the free features and paid Lifetime unlock and form part of a contract only if validly agreed. Your mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

2. Google Play and contractual roles

Applicable Google Play terms also govern downloads, store accounts, orders and payments. Under the terms applicable to the European Economic Area, Google Commerce Limited offers the content there. The app provider's end-user terms may additionally apply.

These SPOLLOW terms govern in particular app features, usage rights, updates, support and the SPOLLOW provider's responsibility. They do not change who is responsible for payment, withdrawal or refunds under the particular Google Play contract. Statutory claims against the responsible contractual party are not restricted.

The contractual and purchase information shown during ordering is decisive. Google Play terms (https://play.google.com/intl/de_de/about/play-terms/index.html)

3. Intended audience and minors

SPOLLOW is designed for teenagers aged 16 and over and adults. This describes its audience, not an own age check, parent area or technical access restriction. Where a contract or particular use by a minor needs the consent of legal representatives, that consent must exist.

Minors must not make paid purchases without the required consent of their legal representatives. Accepting these terms does not replace that permission. Purchase authentication and, where appropriate, family approvals should be enabled to secure the Google account used. Technical purchase authentication leaves statutory rights concerning unauthorised purchases unaffected.

4. What SPOLLOW provides

SPOLLOW is an Android app displaying upcoming football fixtures, including in home screen widgets. You can select clubs from Germany's first, second and third national leagues. Where sources provide corresponding fixtures, relevant DFB-Pokal, Champions League and Europa League matches for selected clubs are also included.

The app provides no live broadcasts or access to paid broadcasters or streaming services. TV and streaming information relates to Germany and is not an international programme guide. App language does not change its regional validity.

Venues, kick-off times and broadcast information may change. Additional information labelled as a home stadium does not confirm the actual match venue. Section 10 also applies.

5. Free basic version

The free version includes one home screen widget for one selected club showing its next relevant fixture and basic team, date and time information. Available fixtures for that club can be shown inside the app. Basic widget customisation, match reminders, one-off transfer to a calendar app and match sharing are also included.

No Lifetime purchase is required. The free machine-readable export of the adapted OpenLigaDB sports dataset also remains available without Lifetime, subject to the database rights explained in “Data sources and licences”.

6. Lifetime: a one-off purchase, no subscription

SPOLLOW Lifetime is a one-off unlock with no subscription or recurring SPOLLOW fee. Google Play displays the binding total price, including applicable taxes, before ordering. The price confirmed there applies; we give no differing fixed price here.

Lifetime adds in particular further widgets with one club each, multiple future fixtures per widget where space permits, additional match information, available weather and broadcast information, navigation and ongoing calendar maintenance. The offer explains the exact scope before purchase. Operating system, widget size, data availability and permissions may affect what is actually displayed.

The unlock has no predetermined expiry date. “Lifetime” means neither a person's lifespan nor guaranteed unlimited availability of every external source, device or future Android version. The name does not allow us arbitrarily to remove paid core functions or introduce a recurring fee for rights already acquired.

The services promised at purchase and legally required updates are included. Separate new products, other platforms and new services not promised at purchase are not automatically included.

7. Requirements and permissions

A compatible Android device is needed; this app version requires Android 8.0 or later. Home screen widgets need a compatible launcher. Current data and certain checks require an internet connection, for which your mobile or internet provider may charge.

Purchase and restoration require a working Google Play environment and the Google account used for purchase. SPOLLOW needs no separate user account.

Some functions need separate Android permissions, such as notifications, calendar access or precisely timed reminders. You may refuse or revoke these, potentially limiting the relevant functions. Android power-saving rules and device settings may delay updates and reminders.

8. Purchase, unlocking and restoration

Paid orders are placed through the Google Play purchase dialogue. Price, essential functions and applicable terms must be accessible before ordering. Pending or cancelled payment does not unlock Lifetime.

SPOLLOW uses Google Play and RevenueCat to verify entitlement. After a confirmed purchase, entitlement can be stored locally for continued use. A temporary connection or verification error does not mean a valid purchase has expired.

Restoration normally requires the appropriate Google account and successful purchase assignment. With evidence of valid entitlement, we do not demand another payment solely because of a technical restoration error. Contact support in that case.

A valid reversal or refund, or a lawful confirmed revocation of the purchase, may remove the associated entitlement. Statutory rights remain.

9. Usage rights and free licences

You receive a non-exclusive right to use SPOLLOW on compatible devices within these terms. Legally permitted acts, particularly under mandatory copyright law, are not excluded.

Third-party data, software, symbols and other content remain subject to their creators' and licensors' rights. Free licences may grant you broader rights, which these terms do not restrict. App use transfers no rights to third-party trademarks or logos.

10. Data sources, weather and external apps

External providers supply fixtures and weather data, which SPOLLOW processes and displays. Despite careful processing, data may be missing, late or changed at short notice. For travel or stadium visits, check the organiser's current information.

Weather information is a forecast for an assigned forecast point, not a stadium measurement. TV information follows editorial rules; check actual availability with the provider.

Calendar export, navigation and sharing transfer data to your chosen external app upon your action. A connected calendar may synchronise entries under its provider’s settings. When ending calendar maintenance in SPOLLOW, choose whether linked entries should be kept or removed. Only clearly linked, unchanged SPOLLOW entries are removed. Manually added entries, entries you have edited and entries that can no longer be clearly linked are retained and can be managed in your calendar app if needed.

These notices describe functional and data limits. They exclude neither agreed characteristics nor statutory rights concerning defects or damages.

11. Updates and product changes

We provide and inform you about legally required updates, including necessary security updates. Completing content development does not end these obligations. Install required updates within a reasonable time; we explain relevant requirements and consequences of not installing as required by law.

Changes to a continuously supplied digital product beyond maintaining conformity occur only under statutory conditions. Where section 327r of the German Civil Code (BGB) applies, valid contractual reasons include changes to legal requirements, necessary adaptations to Android/Play/device interfaces, security requirements and changes to or legal unavailability of external data sources.

Such changes must cause no additional costs and are clearly explained. For more than minor adverse effects, statutory advance-information and termination rights apply in particular; required information is provided on a durable medium. Changing a webpage does not automatically provide such a medium.

Permanent discontinuation of paid services is not an unrestricted termination right for the provider. Statutory rights to remedy, price reduction, contract termination, refund and damages remain subject to their conditions.

12. Rights concerning defects

Statutory rights concerning defects apply to digital products. Subject to the relevant conditions, you may in particular request remedy, reduce the price or end the contract, and claim damages or reimbursement of wasted expenditure.

Legal responsibility is not excluded merely because a fault involves an external data source or integrated service. The statutory allocation of responsibility in the particular contract remains decisive.
A request for an additional feature or a different design is not, by itself, a defect. The agreed and legally required characteristics, including necessary updates, are decisive. Feedback does not create an obligation to implement every suggested extension.
Where a defect exists, conformity must generally first be restored within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience. Statutory cases allowing an immediate price reduction or termination remain unaffected. For a paid contract, a merely minor defect does not permit termination; a statutory right to a price reduction may nevertheless exist.

13. Withdrawal and refunds

Google Play's withdrawal and refund information supplied before ordering and applicable law govern your purchase. For paid digital content, a statutory right of withdrawal does not expire merely by downloading or generally accepting these terms. Statutory requirements must be met, particularly the required express declarations and confirmation.

We additionally offer a voluntary 7-day refund for SPOLLOW Lifetime. Within seven days after the confirmed purchase, you may request a full refund of the price actually paid without giving a reason. Send a message to spollow@needbuilt.de or use the support form under Settings → Support & feedback. Sending your message within the period is sufficient. Include the Google Play order number so we can identify the purchase; if it is missing, we will help identify it. The refund is initiated through Google Play to the original payment method; an order already refunded will not be refunded again. Reversing the purchase removes the Lifetime unlock; SPOLLOW Basis remains available.
This additional promise does not limit statutory withdrawal or defect rights or any more favourable applicable Google Play policies. After the seven days, we continue to assess applicable statutory claims.

14. Support

You can also use the in-app support form under Settings → Support & feedback to report a problem or send feedback. The form prepares an email; it does not send it automatically.
Contact spollow@needbuilt.de, describing the problem as precisely as possible. The app can prepare an email draft for your review with basic technical information and optional extra diagnostics. Only you send it through your email app.

Do not send passwords, complete payment details or secret purchase tokens. To investigate a purchase issue, we may request an order reference or other information necessary for assignment.

15. Liability

We are liable under statutory provisions for intent and gross negligence, culpable injury to life, body or health, fraudulent concealment of defects, expressly assumed guarantees and other mandatory statutory liability, particularly product liability law.

For simple negligence, we are otherwise liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation: an obligation whose fulfilment enables proper performance of the contract and on which you may normally rely. Liability is then limited to foreseeable damage typical of the contract at its conclusion. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

16. Changes to these terms

New terms may be offered for new contracts. For existing contracts, the validly agreed version remains decisive unless a change is validly agreed or legally permitted.

Silence and merely continuing to use the app do not constitute agreement to a contractual change requiring consent. Editorial corrections and updated links remove no existing rights. Product changes are separately governed by section 11.

17. Governing law and dispute resolution

German law applies, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected. Statutory jurisdiction rules apply to consumers.

We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.

If a provision is not validly incorporated or is invalid, statutory rules apply. No automatic replacement by a clause with the closest economic effect is agreed.
