General Terms and Conditions of LS Media UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

(hereinafter the “Provider”) for the use of the services made available via the website screenerhub.app

1. General Provisions and Scope of Services

1.1The Provider makes web-based software (Software as a Service), including maintenance and upkeep, available to its customers in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

1.2The services are offered to consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) as well as to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 BGB.

1.3The Provider does not accept any terms and conditions used by the customer that deviate from these Terms and Conditions unless expressly agreed otherwise. Individually agreed services take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.

1.4For internet services provided by third parties to which the Provider merely links or which the Provider brokers, the terms of use of the respective providers shall apply.

1.5The software serves informational purposes only (metrics, data, analyses) and does not constitute investment advice or an investment recommendation. Investments in securities involve significant risks up to and including total loss. Investment decisions are made solely at the customer’s own responsibility.

2. Subject Matter of the Contract and Services

2.1The Provider makes the software available to the customer for use via the internet. The subject matter of the contract is exclusively the temporary provision of the software for use via the internet and, where offered, the granting of storage space for customer-related data/configurations (e.g. screeners, watchlists, settings). Core functions, depending on the plan, include in particular:

• Stock Browser (stock search/filtering based on financial metrics),
• Screener Management (management of individual filtering strategies),
• Watchlist/Portfolio Management (performance tracking, metrics),
• Monitoring features (historical tracking/comparisons) as a premium feature,
• AI-supported features for generating/optimizing screening criteria.

The AI-supported features are intended solely to support the analysis and evaluation of financial data. The information, analyses, and AI-generated content made available in the software are for informational purposes only and, in particular, do not constitute investment advice or an investment recommendation. Financial data displayed in the software may originate in whole or in part from external data providers and are processed automatically; the Provider assumes no responsibility for their accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.

2.2The Provider shall remedy all software errors within a reasonable period of time to the extent technically possible. An error exists if the software does not perform the functions specified in the service description, delivers incorrect results, or otherwise fails to operate properly such that use of the software is impossible or only possible with restrictions.

2.3The Provider renders its services in accordance with the current state of the art. It continuously develops the software and will improve it through ongoing updates and upgrades. The Provider is entitled to change, expand, or adapt functions of the software provided that the essential functional scope of the software is not impaired thereby.

2.4The availability of the software is 98.5% on an annual average, including maintenance work, provided that availability may not be impaired or interrupted for more than two consecutive calendar days. Excluded from this are necessary regular maintenance work and those periods in which availability is restricted due to events for which the Provider is not responsible (e.g. force majeure, actions by third parties, technical problems, or changes in the legal framework).

2.5The following are required in particular: a current web browser, a stable internet connection, enabled JavaScript, and cookies for authentication and session management. The customer is responsible for providing the necessary technical requirements.

2.6If operation of the software is permanently discontinued, prepaid fees for periods not yet used will be reimbursed on a pro rata basis. No further claims shall exist to the extent permitted by law.

3. Registration, Membership, Term, and Termination

3.1A contract between the Provider and the customer for the free basic membership (“Free Membership”) is concluded upon successful registration in the software. In order to use certain functions of the software, the customer must register. Registration can take place either by:

• signing in via an existing Google account (Google OAuth), or
• registering with an email address and password.

When registering with an email address, the customer account is only activated after the email address has been confirmed by clicking a confirmation link.

3.2Registration enables the customer to use a free basic membership (“Free Membership”). This includes limited access to selected functions of the software. The scope and specific design of the functions available within the Free Membership are determined by the service overview displayed on the website or in the software at the time of use. The Provider is entitled to adjust, restrict, or expand the scope of the Free Membership for the future, provided that the essential interests of the customer are not unreasonably impaired thereby.

3.3The software also offers a paid membership (“Pro Membership”). This enables the customer to access an extended set of software functions. The scope and specific design of the functions available under the Pro Membership are determined by the service overview displayed on the website or in the software at the time the contract is concluded. Changes to the scope of services after conclusion of the contract remain reserved only within the limits permitted by contract and law.

3.4The Pro Membership is concluded as a subscription. The customer may choose between different billing intervals (e.g. monthly or yearly). The paid membership is concluded via the software by selecting a plan and clicking the correspondingly labeled order button (e.g. “subscribe with payment obligation”). By clicking this button, the customer submits a binding offer to conclude a paid subscription. The contract is concluded as soon as the payment has been successfully processed via the external payment service provider and the Provider activates access to the Pro Membership. The current prices are displayed to the customer in the software before the subscription is concluded. All prices are final prices including statutory VAT insofar as the customer is a consumer.

3.5The Pro Membership is concluded for the initial term chosen by the customer. It may be terminated with one month’s notice effective at the end of the initial term. If it is not terminated in time, it continues for an indefinite period. After the initial term, the Pro Membership may be terminated at any time with one month’s notice. The right to extraordinary termination without notice for good cause remains unaffected. In particular, the Provider is entitled to terminate without notice if the customer fails to make due payments despite a reminder and a reasonable grace period or intentionally or negligently breaches essential contractual obligations.

3.6The customer may delete the user account at any time via the corresponding settings in the user account. Deleting the user account does not automatically terminate an existing paid subscription. Such subscription must be cancelled separately. Where required by law, the Provider will also make an immediate electronic cancellation option available. Upon deletion of the account, the data stored by the customer will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements. As a rule, restoration of the user account after deletion is not possible.

3.7The specific functional scope of the respective membership is determined by the current service description within the software or on the Provider’s website. The Provider is entitled to change, expand, or adapt the functions of the software and the scope of the memberships as part of technical development or due to changed conditions (e.g. changes to data sources or technical interfaces), provided that the essential service content of the respective membership is not impaired thereby.

4. Rights of Use in the Software

4.1The Provider grants the customer the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the software as intended within the SaaS services for the duration of the contract. The customer may modify the software only insofar as this is covered by the intended use of the software according to the current service description. Reproduction of the software is permitted only insofar as this is covered by the intended use of the software according to the current service description. Necessary reproduction includes loading the software into working memory on the customer’s server / computer, but not even temporary installation or storage of the software on data carriers (such as hard drives or similar) of the hardware used by the customer.

4.2The customer is not entitled to make the software or the storage space provided available to a third party, in whole or in part, whether for payment or free of charge. Subletting the software is expressly prohibited.

4.3The publication of individual views or excerpts of the software (e.g. screenshots of metrics, charts, or screening results) for private or editorial purposes, such as in blogs, social networks, or videos, is permitted provided that an appropriate source reference to the Provider or the software is included and that no commercial financial products or paid stock newsletters are operated with such material. In particular, the systematic collection, storage, or further processing of software data for the creation of proprietary databases, analysis tools, or comparable services is prohibited.

5. Data Sources and Data Errors

5.1The Provider obtains financial data in part from external data providers, in particular providers of financial market and currency data. These data are processed automatically and displayed in the software. The data are updated at regular intervals in accordance with the technical conditions and the update cycles of the respective data suppliers.

5.2The data provided by the Provider are processed with the greatest possible care. However, no warranty can be given for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the data provided. In particular, delays, incompleteness, or other errors may occur in the automated transfer of data from third-party providers.

5.3The information, metrics, and analyses provided in the software serve informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.

5.4The customer is obliged not to rely exclusively on the data provided in the software when making important decisions and, where appropriate, to consult additional sources of information.

6. Granting of Storage Space and Backups

6.1The Provider grants the customer storage space on servers for storing data generated in connection with the use of the software. If the storage space is limited, the customer will be informed of this when the contract is concluded.

6.2The Provider shall ensure that the stored data can be accessed via the internet. It shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent data loss and unauthorized access by third parties. To this end, regular backups are performed in particular and security measures in line with the state of the art are used.

6.3The customer remains the owner of the data introduced into the software. During the contractual term, the customer may access such data within the scope of the functions provided by the software. After the contract has ended, the customer may request handover of the data introduced into the software, insofar as this is technically possible and can be implemented with reasonable effort for the Provider. The Provider has neither a right of retention nor any statutory landlord’s lien under Section 562 BGB with respect to the customer’s data.

7. Support

Application or software problems are handled by the Provider within the scope of support. Support requests must be submitted via the communication channels provided on the Provider’s website or via any ticket system that may be made available. As a general rule, support requests are processed in the order in which they are received.

8. Impairment of Availability

8.1Adjustments, changes, and additions to the contractual software, as well as measures to determine and remedy malfunctions, may lead to temporary interruptions or impairments of availability where this is technically necessary.

8.2The Provider will remedy software malfunctions as quickly as possible within its technical and operational capabilities. Maintenance work and error correction measures may lead to temporary restrictions in availability.

9. Obligations of the Customer

9.1The customer is obliged to keep the data provided during registration up to date at all times and to refrain from violating these Terms and Conditions and applicable law. In particular, the customer is obliged to satisfy the Provider’s payment claims on time. The customer must also ensure that the account is used only by the customer personally. The customer shall keep login credentials and the data stored by the customer confidential and ensure that third parties do not gain access to such data. If the customer culpably breaches this obligation, the customer shall be responsible for any resulting damage. If the Provider prescribes further security measures before or during the contractual relationship, the customer shall implement them unless they are unreasonable or disproportionate.

9.2The customer is furthermore obliged to use the software only for its intended purpose and to comply with all contractual and statutory provisions when using the software. Any use beyond the purpose of the contractual relationship is prohibited. In particular, the customer is prohibited from:

• registering for the software multiple times under different identities;
• spreading false or misleading statements within the software;
• using the software for advertising or other commercial purposes;
• threatening, insulting, harassing, or otherwise infringing the rights of other customers;
• soliciting other customers for another service or attempting to do so;
• violating these Terms and Conditions or applicable law (e.g. copyright or trademark law) while using the software;
• retrieving or extracting data from the software automatically or systematically (e.g. via crawlers, bots, spiders, or scrapers);
• bypassing technical protection measures or access restrictions of the software;
• sending chain letters or spam messages;
• distributing pornographic, racist, violence-glorifying or trivializing, hate-inciting, right-wing extremist, anti-constitutional, or otherwise unlawful or immoral content within the software;
• systematically storing, reproducing, distributing, or commercially reusing data or content from the software unless expressly permitted by the software functionality.

9.3Without prejudice to the Provider’s obligation to back up data, the customer is responsible for entering, maintaining, and safeguarding the data and information required to use the software. In the event of data loss within the software for which the Provider is responsible, the Provider’s liability is limited to the restoration and recovery costs for those data that would also have been lost had the customer performed proper backups. Insufficient backup procedures may result in contributory negligence on the part of the customer within the meaning of Section 254 BGB. The provisions under the heading “Liability and Indemnification” remain unaffected by this paragraph.

9.4The customer is obliged to check all data and information for viruses or other harmful components before entering or uploading them and to use virus protection programs that reflect the state of the art.

9.5Content stored by the customer in the dedicated storage space may be protected by copyright and data protection law. The customer hereby grants the Provider the right to make such content accessible to the customer via the internet upon request and, in particular, to reproduce and transmit it for that purpose, as well as to reproduce it for backup purposes.

10. Remuneration

10.1The customer undertakes to pay the agreed fee for the provision of the software and the granting of storage space at the agreed intervals. Prices and plans are communicated to the customer before the contract is concluded.

10.2All prices are final prices including statutory VAT where the customer is a consumer. The prices valid at the time of contract conclusion are decisive.

10.3Payment is made within the framework of a subscription according to the billing interval chosen by the customer (e.g. monthly or yearly) via the payment service provider integrated into the software. Further details on payment, term, and termination of the paid membership are set out in Section 3 of these Terms and Conditions.

10.4The Provider is entitled to use an external payment service provider for payment processing. The terms of use of the respective payment service provider apply additionally.

11. Suspension and Prohibited Content

11.1The Provider is entitled to temporarily suspend access to the software if the user is in default with a due payment and fails to make payment despite a reasonable grace period. The same applies if the user is in partial default with several instalments which together correspond to one full payment instalment. Suspensions do not affect the contractual term and do not release the customer from the payment obligation.

11.2No content may be stored in the software that is insulting, extremist, glorifies or trivializes violence, incites hatred, is right-wing extremist, discriminatory, anti-constitutional, harmful to minors, or pornographic, that infringes the rights of third parties (e.g. trademark or copyright rights), violates other applicable law or accepted principles of morality (in particular criminal law and regulatory offense law), or contains malicious code or malware. Use of the software for unauthorized commercial purposes or for systematic reuse of data is likewise prohibited. If the Provider becomes aware that impermissible content within the meaning of this paragraph may have been stored in the provided storage space, the Provider will proceed as follows:

• The Provider will review the relevant content without undue delay. If the review shows that impermissible content cannot be ruled out, the Provider may temporarily block the content or take other measures appropriate to the risk situation, up to and including deletion of the content, taking the circumstances of the individual case into account. The Provider will invite the customer to submit a statement within a reasonable deadline.
• As soon as the customer’s statement has been received, or if the customer fails to submit a statement within the granted period, the Provider will make a final decision on how to deal with the content in question. Possible measures include, in particular: warning; permanent suspension or final deletion of the content; temporary suspension of the customer (alternatively partial suspension); ordinary or extraordinary termination of the contract; filing of a criminal complaint or a report to the regulatory authority (if a criminal offense is at issue that could pose a danger to life, limb, or personal safety, the Provider is legally obliged to report it).
• The Provider will only take the respective measure after a thorough and objective assessment, taking into account in particular the severity of the violation, the total number of violations, possible effects on the services provided by the Provider, its customers and other third parties, the overall conduct (e.g. degree of insight into the violation), the degree of fault (intent or negligence), the motives for the violation insofar as recognizable, and the customer’s statement insofar as available.
• The Provider will inform the customer about the assessment, its result, and the measures decided upon, unless legal reasons prevent such notice.
• The Provider will not proactively review stored content and, unless otherwise stated, will not carry out automated checks of the content stored in the software. However, the Provider will act as soon as it becomes aware of such content itself or is informed of it by third parties. If the customer becomes aware of such content, the customer may contact the Provider at any time using the contact details in the imprint.

12. Warranty for Defects

12.1The Provider warrants the functionality and operational readiness of the software in accordance with this contract and, in all other respects, in accordance with statutory provisions.

12.2The information and financial data made available in the software originate in part from third-party providers. Despite careful selection and processing, the Provider cannot warrant the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of the data provided.

12.3The content provided is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell financial instruments.

13. Liability and Indemnification

13.1The Provider shall be liable without limitation on any legal ground in cases of intent or gross negligence, in cases of intentional or negligent injury to life, body, or health, on the basis of a guarantee promise unless otherwise specifically regulated in this regard, or due to mandatory statutory liability such as under the Product Liability Act. If the Provider negligently breaches a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract unless liability is unlimited under the foregoing provisions. Material contractual obligations are obligations that the contract imposes on the Provider according to its content in order to achieve the contractual purpose, the fulfillment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on compliance with which the customer may regularly rely. In all other respects, the Provider’s liability is excluded.

13.2The foregoing liability provisions also apply with regard to the liability of the Provider’s vicarious agents and legal representatives.

13.3The Provider assumes no liability for damages arising from the customer making decisions on the basis of information or data provided in the software. This applies in particular to investment or trading decisions relating to securities or other financial instruments. The Provider is also not liable for damages caused by technical failures, outages, or delays at third-party providers, especially data suppliers, hosting providers, or payment service providers, unless they are due to intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the Provider.

13.4The customer shall indemnify the Provider against any third-party claims, including legal defense costs in the statutory amount, asserted against the Provider due to unlawful or contract-breaching conduct by the customer.

14. Handover and Deletion of Data After Termination

Upon termination of the contractual relationship, the Provider will, at the customer’s request, provide the customer with the data stored in the storage space assigned to the customer in a common machine-readable format and will subsequently delete them from its systems unless otherwise required by contract or law. The customer has no claim to also receive software suitable for using such data.

15. Confidentiality and Secrecy

15.1The Provider undertakes to maintain strict secrecy regarding all confidential matters of which it becomes aware in the context of preparing, performing, and fulfilling this contract, in particular business or trade secrets of the customer, and neither to disclose them nor to exploit them in any other way. This applies vis-à-vis any unauthorized third parties, i.e. also vis-à-vis unauthorized employees of both the Provider and the customer, unless disclosure is necessary for proper performance of the Provider’s contractual obligations. In case of doubt, the Provider will obtain the customer’s consent before such disclosure.

15.2The Provider undertakes to agree with all employees and subcontractors used in connection with preparing, performing, and fulfilling this contract on a provision equivalent in substance to the foregoing paragraph.

15.3The Provider processes personal data of the customer exclusively within the framework of the applicable data protection laws, in particular the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Further information on data processing can be found in the Provider’s Privacy Policy.

16. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers

16.1If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of Section 13 BGB, the customer generally has a statutory right of withdrawal when concluding a paid contract concerning the software.

16.2Details of the right of withdrawal follow from the separately provided withdrawal notice.

17. Final Provisions

17.1The contracts concluded between the Provider and the customer are governed by the substantive law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

17.2If the customer is a merchant or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the parties agree that the Provider’s registered office shall be the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship. Sentence 1 does not apply if exclusive jurisdiction is prescribed by law. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

17.3The Provider is entitled to amend these Terms and Conditions for objectively justified reasons (e.g. changes in case law, legislation, market conditions, or corporate strategy) while observing a reasonable notice period. Existing customers will be informed by email no later than two weeks before the amendment takes effect. If the existing customer does not object within the period stated in the notice of amendment, the customer’s consent to the amendment is deemed granted. If the customer objects, the amendments do not take effect; in this case the Provider is entitled to terminate the contract extraordinarily as of the date on which the amendment would have taken effect. The notification will point out the intended amendment, the objection period, and the consequences of objection or failure to object.

17.4If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

18. Consumer Dispute Resolution

18.1The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board within the meaning of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).
