1. general information
These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") apply to the use of the software for mobile devices (hereinafter: "App" or "VantisTherapy") provided by Vantis GmbH, Widenmayerstraße 18, 80538 Munich, Germany (hereinafter: "Vantis") as well as to the use of third-party devices connected to the App (see section 8 of these GTC). You can contact Vantis at 089 / 693144840 or info@vantis-health.com.
Please read these T&Cs and the instructions for use of the App carefully before registering with Vantis or downloading and using the App.
Use of the app is only permitted if you agree to these GTC. With your confirmation of these GTC, a contract is concluded between you and Vantis for the use of the app and, if applicable, the third-party devices connected to the app (see section 8), insofar as these are made available to you by Vantis. If you have any questions about the meaning of individual provisions in the GTC, you are welcome to contact us via the aforementioned communication channels.
2. vantisTherapy
The VantisTherapy app is a mobile software application that supports patients in the therapy and monitoring of ischemic heart disease (IHD). For details, please read the instructions for use. Please pay particular attention to sections 4.2 "Contraindications", 4.3 "Intended use" and 4.4 "Non-intended use" of the instructions for use.
The app is a CE-certified medical device. It is provided exclusively within the scope of the intended purpose defined in the instructions for use and the user undertakes to use the app exclusively within the scope of the stated intended purpose.
The app can be operated with the iOS and Android operating systems. The prerequisite for use is that the user downloads the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store (hereinafter each referred to as "App Store"). This requires an Apple ID or a Google account and the terms and conditions of the App Store from which you download the App apply.
In the event of any conflict between (a) the App Store's terms and conditions, terms of use, or end user license terms ("App Store Terms") and (b) these TOS, the App Store Terms will prevail with respect to your use of the version of the App downloaded from the applicable App Store. Nothing in these TOS is intended or shall be construed to limit or modify the App Store Terms.
When downloading from an app store, Vantis is the app provider and the app is a third-party app. Therefore, Vantis is solely responsible for the content of the app, the warranty, and any claims you may have regarding the app.
As a user, you must ensure that the technical requirements specified in the App Store for downloading and using the app on your end device are met. The User undertakes to use the App only in the latest version available in the respective App Store (see also Section 14.6). A new version is not associated with additional costs for the user. Information on the respective current version can be found in the respective App Store.
Downloading the app is free of charge for the user.
3. not a substitute for medical care and treatment
Please pay particular attention to section 2.3 "Note on personal responsibility" in the instructions for use.
Please note that the app is intended to support the therapy and monitoring of ischemic heart disease (see section 4.3 "Intended use" of the instructions for use). The app does not make medical diagnoses and can in no way replace medical care and treatment, but supplements it. If you have any doubts about what action to take in the event of a health problem, contact your doctor or your treating medical institution. You should never disregard advice from your doctor or treating medical institution or postpone or reschedule an appointment because of information obtained through the app.
If you experience a deterioration in your health while performing exercises or implementing tips from the app, you must stop the exercise or implementation immediately and have the deterioration clarified by a doctor. In general, it is important to pay attention to the signals of the body: if an exercise causes pain or any kind of discomfort, it should not be performed or should be discontinued. If in doubt, do not perform or discontinue the exercise.
Vantis does not make any promises that the use of the app will lead to an improvement in health complaints. In addition, the effect of app use is influenced by individual factors, such as physical predispositions and pre-existing conditions, so that the result can vary greatly in different people despite the same use of the app.
4. requirements for the use of VantisTherapy
4.1 General requirements
The prerequisite for using the app is that the user is at least 18 years old, has unlimited legal capacity and is not under care, unless a legally valid representation is actively proven.
4.2 Indication of the app
The app is indicated for patients who have been diagnosed with ischemic heart disease (IHD) by a physician (see section 4.1 "Indication" in the instructions for use).
5. registration / user account
In order to use the app and other services offered by Vantis, the user must create a personal user account. Only one user account may be created per user. Details can be found in section 6 "Setting up your account" of the instructions for use.
6. use of the app / your obligations as a user
6.1 No commercial use / no passing on of content
The app is intended exclusively for consumers. The app may only be used for personal and not for commercial purposes. Any distribution of the content is expressly prohibited without the express consent in text form of Vantis.
6.2 Group chat function
The app provides users with a group chat function for users of the VantisTherapy app to exchange information with each other on topics related to the app and its intended use. The condition of use is that the user follows the Vantis "Chatiquette" (see the "Group Chat" help entry in the app). Vantis does not actively moderate the group chat, but reserves the right to delete content that violates the "Chatiquette" (or that is illegal). In case of illegal chat content or particularly serious or repeated violations of the "Chatiquette", Vantis reserves the right to exclude the user from the group chat or to terminate the contract with the user without notice.
7. interruption of use / further developments
7.1
Vantis will always make all reasonable efforts to ensure proper operation of the App and the App is generally available 24 hours a day. Vantis does not assume any responsibility or liability for the uninterrupted usability of the Internet. The same applies to the uninterrupted usability of the App, as far as technically caused delays, interruptions or failures or necessary maintenance, each to a reasonable extent, or as far as an event beyond the control of Vantis occurs.
7.2
Vantis strives to continuously develop the app. Therefore, individual functionalities may also be adapted during an ongoing contract. A valid reason for a change of the service exists in particular if new technical developments make a change of the service necessary, because the service can no longer be provided in the previous contractually agreed form or if newly issued or changed legal or other official or sovereign requirements necessitate a change of the service. Furthermore, a valid reason for a change of the service exists if the change is necessary to take into account technical progress or to make technical adjustments and/or to ensure the future functionality of the service. Vantis will ensure with each modification that the relationship between service and consideration does not shift to the disadvantage of the User.
8. connected devices / costs / logistics
Optional components of the paid use of the app also include a blood pressure device and a smartwatch ("devices") for recording activity and vital parameters. The devices can be connected to the app by the user. Vantis provides these Devices to the User upon request and recommends that these Devices be connected and used in conjunction with the App. After the user starts the therapy in the app, the devices, if ordered by the user, will be shipped immediately. The devices are transferred to the user (except if it is a test user, see clause 9.2) under the condition that no revocation is declared according to clause 10 and the satisfaction guarantee according to clause 11 is not claimed.
Please also refer to section 8 "Connecting external devices" of the operating instructions.
If you are a test user and do not purchase a follow-up code within 14 days after the expiration of the purchased activation code (see section 9.1) or do not fulfill the other conditions on checkout.vantis-health.com for the transfer of ownership of the devices to test users, the devices must be returned to us immediately after receipt of a return bill from Vantis, at the latest within one week. Vantis will bear the costs of the return shipment. You will receive the return bill from us by e-mail.
