Terms of Use

These terms govern the use of the “Schmatch” mobile app and this website. The provider is Damon Basler, Kampstraße 20, 20357 Hamburg (“we”).

Schmatch is a tool for deciding on food together: users add favorite dishes, swipe through the selection, and the app determines a winner. In the event of a tie, a runoff round starts automatically.

The app does not place orders and does not process payments. Ordering and paying happen outside the app, directly with the respective providers. We take no responsibility for the availability, quality, prices or delivery of food. The app is for entertainment and organization; the decision on what to eat is made solely by the users.

Use requires a minimum age of 16 and a compatible device.

On first launch, an anonymous account with a random ID is created automatically (see the Privacy Policy). There is no password and no recovery. Deleting the account is permanent and cannot be undone.

Content entered by users (e.g. profile names, favorite dishes) must be free of third-party rights; you warrant that you are entitled to use it. You grant us only the storage and display rights necessary to provide the service. We do not use your content for advertising or to train AI models.

• unlawful use or infringement of third-party rights
• unauthorized access to other people’s systems or accounts
• circumventing technical protection measures
• automated or abusive exploitation of the service

The app is currently free and contains no advertising. In the future, we plan to fund it through Google AdMob. There are no subscriptions, no premium version and no in-app purchases.

We owe no particular availability. Features may change, be limited or be discontinued.

All rights to the app, its design, name and logo belong to us unless otherwise indicated.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and under mandatory statutory provisions. Otherwise, for simple negligence we are liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable, typical damage. We accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of the app (e.g. choosing a dish).

We may adjust these terms where required for legal or functional reasons. The current version is available on this page.

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.

Our Privacy Policy and Imprint apply in addition to these terms.
