Terms of Use

Terms of Use for the “Kür” competition platform

Provider:

1. Scope

1.1 These terms govern the use of the “Kür” online platform (event pages, online entries, music collection, competition planning, publications) by organisers.

1.2 Contracting parties are exclusively clubs, federations and other entrepreneurs (§ 14 BGB, German Civil Code). There is no right of withdrawal for consumers.

1.3 For coaches and persons submitting entries, use of the platform is free of charge; the notices on the platform apply to them, not these terms.

2. Services

2.1 Colourmatch provides the platform as an online service. The scope of functions follows from the current service description on the platform.

2.2 The running of the competition day (live judging, judge access, display) takes place in the locally installed Kür App. It is part of the service: every organiser receives a licence with their account at no separate charge. The licence covers the organiser’s devices and ends with the account.

2.3 Colourmatch may develop and change the platform as long as the essential scope of services is preserved.

3. Fees, free scope and beta phase

3.1 Use of the platform is free of charge per competition as long as no more than 30 gymnasts are entered. People are counted, not entries: individual and group entries are merged; a gymnast starting individually and in a group counts once. Judges, coaches and other officials do not count.

3.2 For competitions with more than 30 entered gymnasts, Colourmatch offers the block of ten (€15 per ten more gymnasts, per competition, at most eight), the Event Pass (€129, one-off per event, no limit; an event held on several consecutive days counts as one) and the annual subscription (€299 per year, all events of the organiser). All prices are final; Colourmatch is a small business under § 19 UStG (German VAT Act) and does not charge VAT. Should the small-business rule cease to apply, statutory VAT is added for purchases from that point on. Payment is made via the payment service offered on the platform or by invoice; the service starts on receipt of payment.

3.3 Exceeding the limit in clause 3.1 does not trigger any obligation to pay. Without a block, Event Pass or annual subscription, the platform makes the entries available for fetching in the order received up to the limit; the remaining entries stay stored and are released after purchase. The entry route for clubs and coaches remains open and free of charge. An Event Pass of a deleted competition transfers to the organiser’s next competition, as long as no entries had been received for the deleted competition and neither start list nor results had been published.

3.4 Until 31 December 2026 the platform is in its beta phase: the limit in clause 3.1 does not apply and use is free of charge. The organiser knows and accepts that the platform is under construction: functions may be missing, change or contain errors. Colourmatch fixes reported errors to the best of its ability, but does not guarantee response times.

3.5 After the end of the beta phase, the organiser decides freely whether to continue using the platform at the prices then applicable. No automatic obligation to pay arises.

4. Obligations of the organiser

4.1 The event page is the organiser's service. The organiser enters its mandatory information on the platform and keeps it up to date: the provider identification under § 5 DDG (German Digital Services Act) (name and address; for legal entities additionally the legal form and the person authorised to represent; the register, if registered; the VAT ID, if available) and the privacy notice under Art. 13 GDPR for the entry process. The platform provides the fields and a text template; without complete information, online registration cannot be opened.

4.2 The organiser is the data controller for the entry data of its competitions; the basis for processing by Colourmatch is the data processing agreement. The organiser obtains the required consents itself — in particular that of the parents or legal guardians for the publication of names. For this, the entry form requires an explicit confirmation by the person submitting the entry and displays the organiser's privacy notice; the confirmation is stored with the entry.

4.3 The organiser decides on every publication (start list, results) itself and checks the content before release.

4.4 Access credentials must be treated confidentially; the organiser notifies Colourmatch without delay at kontakt@kuer.app if it suspects misuse. An individual device can be signed out in the Kür App; its access expires immediately.

5. Availability

5.1 Colourmatch strives for high availability of the platform but does not guarantee any particular availability. Maintenance work is carried out outside entry periods where possible.

5.2 The running of the competition day does not depend on the platform (the competition software works offline).

6. Liability

6.1 Colourmatch is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.

6.2 In cases of slight negligence, Colourmatch is liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the organiser may rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

6.3 Otherwise, liability is excluded.

6.4 For use free of charge (free scope under clause 3.1, beta phase under clause 3.4), Colourmatch is liable only for intent and gross negligence. Clause 6.1 remains unaffected: for injury to life, body or health and under the Product Liability Act, Colourmatch is liable without limitation in this respect too. For services used against payment (clause 3.2), clauses 6.1 to 6.3 apply.

6.5 The organiser backs up its competition data on its own responsibility. Colourmatch is liable for the loss of data only up to the effort that would have been required for recovery with proper and regular backups by the organiser. The competition software creates local backups for this purpose and allows export.

6.6 The above liability provisions also apply to the personal liability of the legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Colourmatch.

7. Term and termination

7.1 The contract runs for an indefinite period. Either party may terminate it in text form with 30 days' notice to the end of a month; the right to extraordinary termination remains unaffected.

7.2 After the end of the contract, the organiser may export its data or delete it itself (“Take offline”); otherwise, § 8 of the data processing agreement applies.

8. Changes to these terms

8.1 Colourmatch announces changes to these terms in text form at least 30 days before they are intended to take effect and provides the amended version.

8.2 The amended version applies only if the organiser consents to it. Consent can be given on the platform. If the organiser does not consent, the previous terms continue to apply; in that case Colourmatch may terminate the contract under clause 7.1. Silence on the part of the organiser does not count as consent.

8.3 Changes that Colourmatch must make to comply with mandatory legal requirements apply from the date stated in the announcement; the organiser may terminate the contract extraordinarily until then.

9. Final provisions

9.1 German law applies. The place of jurisdiction is, where permissible, the registered office of Colourmatch.

9.2 Should individual provisions be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains valid.

Annex

The annex to these terms is the data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.
