Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of DocDocDoc (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Provider and Scope

The Service is provided by DocDocDoc. These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the website and editor. Additional legal information is set out in the Impressum and Privacy Policy, each as amended from time to time.

2. Service Description

DocDocDoc is a web-based editor for Google Docs content. Where you choose to connect a Google account, the Service may retrieve document data, render/edit such data, and synchronize edits back to Google Docs.

The Service may include beta or experimental features. Availability, functionality, and behavior may be modified, suspended, or withdrawn at any time.

3. Google Account and Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure and services, including Google APIs and hosting/database providers. Use of Google services remains subject to Google's terms, policies, and technical constraints.

If third-party services are unavailable, restricted, rate-limited, modified, or discontinued, the Service may be limited, degraded, or unavailable in whole or in part.

4. User Responsibilities

• You are solely responsible for the documents and data you choose to connect, open, import, edit, or export.
• You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions required to access and edit each document you load.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Google account and device/browser session.
• You must promptly revoke access and contact support if you suspect unauthorized account or session use.
• You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of any important content.
• You must not use the Service for unlawful, abusive, fraudulent, or infringing activity.

5. Unsupported Features, Flattening, and Safe Copy Mode

Not all Google Docs features are fully supported. Where unsupported or partially supported structures are present, loading, editing, or synchronization may flatten, transform, remove, or otherwise alter such structures.

To mitigate this risk, the Service may recommend or default to a copy-first workflow. If you choose to edit an original document directly, you expressly assume the increased risk of formatting or data loss in unsupported or partially supported areas.

Compatibility checks, unsupported-feature warnings, and safe-copy recommendations are risk-reduction measures only and do not guarantee that every unsupported or partially supported element will always be detected in advance.

You should keep an untouched original document and independent backups when working with important content.

6. License to Process User Content

As between you and DocDocDoc, you retain rights in your documents. You grant DocDocDoc a limited, non-exclusive, revocable authorization to access and process document data solely to provide requested Service functions (including loading, rendering, editing, synchronization, copying, and integrity/compatibility checks).

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit others to:

• interfere with, disrupt, or impair the Service or related infrastructure;
• circumvent authentication, authorization, or other security controls;
• conduct abusive automation, scraping, or other behavior that materially harms Service stability;
• reverse engineer or misuse non-public portions of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law.

8. Availability, Changes, and Suspension

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time. Access may be suspended or terminated where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, operational integrity, or material breach of these Terms.

9. Fees and Premium Features

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the product interface, access to the Service is currently provided without subscription fees. If paid features are introduced, applicable pricing and billing conditions will be presented before purchase.

If paid plans are introduced, fees are due as stated at checkout. Except where required by mandatory law or explicitly stated otherwise, payments are non-refundable. Any recurring plan renews only where explicitly disclosed at purchase and may be canceled according to the cancellation flow and timing shown in-product.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Without limitation, DocDocDoc does not warrant uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or full compatibility with all Google Docs structures or third-party services.

11. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory law, including liability for intent (Vorsatz), gross negligence (grobe Fahrlassigkeit), injury to life/body/health, and mandatory statutory rights.

Subject to the preceding paragraph and to the extent permitted by law, DocDocDoc shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity.

In cases of slight negligence involving breach of essential contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten), liability is limited to foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. In all other cases of slight negligence, liability is excluded to the extent legally permitted.

The foregoing limitations apply equally to legal representatives, employees, and vicarious agents.

12. Indemnification (Business Users)

If you use the Service in a business capacity, you agree to indemnify and hold DocDocDoc harmless from third-party claims, losses, and costs arising out of your unlawful use of the Service or breach of these Terms, except to the extent caused by DocDocDoc.

13. Intellectual Property

The Service software, branding, and non-user content are protected by intellectual property and related laws. No rights are granted except the limited rights necessary to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

Copyright Complaints

If you believe content accessible via the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to docdocdoc-support at googlegroups.com with sufficient detail to identify the work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, and the legal basis of your claim. For US-focused notices (including DMCA-style notices), include any statements required by applicable law (for example good-faith belief and authority/accuracy statements).

We may remove or restrict access to allegedly infringing material where appropriate and may contact affected users where legally permitted.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

If you are a merchant (Kaufmann), legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the provider's registered seat in Germany.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected.

15. US Addendum

If you access the Service from the United States, this section applies in addition to the remainder of these Terms. Disclaimers and liability limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable US law.

Certain US jurisdictions do not permit specific warranty exclusions or liability limitations. In such jurisdictions, these Terms apply only to the extent legally permitted.

16. Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Any failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may amend these Terms for legal, technical, or operational reasons. The current version is published on this page. Continued use of the Service after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, unless mandatory law requires a different standard.
