5.1. We will provide necessary updates for the Mimi App from time to time, e.g. security updates or technical updates necessary for an undisturbed operation of the App. You alone are responsible for installing due updates for the Mimi App. If you do not install due updates, it is possible that you will no longer be able to access all functions of the Mimi App or use the Mimi App. You will be informed of due updates within the Mimi App.

5.2. Besides updates, we reserve the right to change individual functionalities of the Mimi App, in particular to extend, limit or discontinue these, or to change the user interface of the Mimi App, while taking reasonable account of your interests, if there is a valid reason for such a change, such as a necessity to adapt the App to a new technical environment (e.g. changed operating systems), an increased number of users, new or changed user needs, new scientific findings regarding hearing, new regulatory requirements, or another important operational reason. You will be informed of such changes within the Mimi App.

5.3. We may be required to discontinue the support of an old version of the Mimi App due to regulatory requirements. You may continue to use the Mimi App by switching to the most recent version of the Mimi App.

6. Your obligations as a user and non-medical use

6.1. You must comply with applicable laws when using the Mimi App and must not violate the rights of third parties. Otherwise, we are entitled to block your use of the Mimi App and delete all data you have stored in the Mimi App.

6.2. You may use the Mimi App for your own private purposes only. Any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, you have no right to rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, sublicense, copy, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, modify, distribute copies of, make available, adapt, or create derivative works based on the Mimi App or such software, without prejudice to your rights to make a back-up copy of such software pursuant to Section 69d (2) of the German Copyright Code or to decompile the software pursuant to Section 69e of the German Copyright Code.

6.3.

Should you have any health-related issues or questions during or after your use of the Mimi App, please contact your physician or other healthcare professional. The Mimi App does not constitute or create a doctor-patient, therapist-patient or other professional relationship between you and us.

The Mimi App is intended to provide audiometric hearing screenings as support for decisions in relation to the medical diagnosis of hearing health including hearing impairment and hearing-related disorders. The device provides guided instruction for self-administered air-conduction testing by the consumer in a quiet or sound-controlled environment. By increasing access to hearing screening when compared to traditional audiometry, the use of the Mimi App may lead to earlier self-referral for comprehensive medical diagnostic evaluation of hearing status by a qualified health professional.

7.1. Your statutory rights apply in case of defects in the Mimi App or other lack of conformity. 

7.2. If you suffer losses or damages caused by simple negligence on our part, we are liable only to the extent that the loss or damage is typical to the contract and forseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract, i.e. which we foresaw as a possible consequence of a breach of contract at the time of the conclusion of the contract or which we should have foreseen by exercising due diligence. Furthermore, indirect damages and consequential damages which arise due to defects of the Mimi App will only be compensated if such damages could be typically expected.

7.3. The limitation of liability above does not apply 

– in case of intentional or grossly negligent conduct,

– in case of death or physical injury,

– if we have fraudulently concealed a defect,

– in case a material contractual obligation has been violated, i.e. the obligation to provide the Mimi App in due time and without defects that impair functionality or usability more than insignificantly;

– to claims under the German Act on Liability for Defective Products and under the law governing medical devices

7.4. We are not liable in the event of improper use of the App.

If we replace the Mimi App by a similar product or if we offer a new version of the Mimi App, you will be able to keep using our services by switching to the new product or version.
