Terms of Service

1. Provider

These Terms of Service govern your use of TailBeat ("the App"), provided by:

Represented by: Stephan Arenswald
Registered in the Handelsregister of the Amtsgericht Stuttgart: HRB 804213
Contact: legal@leanbytes.io

2. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and LeanBytes. Before using the App, you are given a clear opportunity to read these Terms and confirm your agreement - for example, at first launch or at the time of purchase. These Terms apply to all users regardless of distribution channel. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

3. Description of Service

TailBeat is a native macOS log viewer for Apple developers. The App is available as a paid product and may include a limited free trial.

4. License Grant

Subject to these Terms, LeanBytes grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, for personal and commercial use. You may not:

• copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App;
• rent, lease, lend, or sublicense the App;
• remove or alter any proprietary notices on the App;
• use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable law.

5. Purchases and Payments

All prices are stated at the time of purchase and include applicable VAT where required by law. Prices may vary by region and distribution channel.

Direct purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy, LLC), acting as merchant of record; payments may also be handled by Stripe. Their terms and privacy policy govern the transaction. LeanBytes does not process or store payment details such as credit card numbers, but may receive limited transaction information (name, email, billing country, purchase details) for license management, support, and legal compliance.

Trial. The App may be offered with a free trial period (e.g. 7 days). After the trial ends, continued use requires a paid license. Exact trial terms are defined at the time of purchase or activation.

6. Right of Withdrawal

For purchases processed via Lemon Squeezy or the Apple App Store, the platform acts as merchant of record and your statutory consumer rights, including any right of withdrawal, are implemented through that platform. For any purchase made directly with LeanBytes, EU and German consumers have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days (§ 355 BGB). For digital content delivered immediately, the right of withdrawal expires under § 356 Abs. 5 BGB once you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge losing that right.

7. Conformity and Updates for Digital Products

In accordance with §§ 327 ff. BGB (EU Directive 2019/770), LeanBytes ensures the App conforms to the contract at delivery and, where applicable, throughout the supply period. For one-time purchases, LeanBytes provides updates necessary to maintain conformity for a period reasonable given the nature of the App and the price paid. Your statutory remedies under §§ 327i ff. BGB are not excluded or limited.

8. Intellectual Property

The App and all associated content, code, design, graphics, and branding are owned by LeanBytes or its licensors and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms grant only a limited right to use the App; no ownership is transferred.

9. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the App to violate any law, infringe third-party rights, transmit malware, attempt unauthorised access to any system, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the App.

10. Warranties

LeanBytes warrants that the App will conform to the contract at delivery under §§ 327 ff. BGB. Beyond the statutory conformity obligations, LeanBytes makes no additional warranties and does not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or secure. Statutory warranty rights of consumers under German or EU law are not excluded or limited.

11. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law - including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for intent or gross negligence, or under the German Product Liability Act. To the extent permitted by German law, liability for simple negligence is limited to foreseeable, typical damages arising from breach of a material contractual obligation (Kardinalpflicht); LeanBytes is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from simple negligence.

12. Changes to These Terms

LeanBytes may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be presented within the App, and continued use requires acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the App.

13. Termination

LeanBytes may suspend or terminate your access for material breach (§ 314 BGB). You may terminate at any time by ceasing to use the App and deleting it. Provisions that by their nature survive termination - including intellectual property, liability, and governing law - remain in effect.

14. Dispute Resolution

EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. LeanBytes is not obliged to, and does not, participate in consumer arbitration proceedings (VSBG).

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of a consumer's EU member state of residence also apply. The courts of Stuttgart have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to the above.

16. General Provisions

If any provision is invalid, the remainder continues in force and the invalid provision is replaced by the applicable statutory rule (§ 306 BGB). These Terms, together with any product-specific terms at purchase, are the entire agreement. The contract language is English. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
