Terms of Use

1. Scope and provider

These terms govern the use of the Avantido app (the „App“) and of the website avantido.app (the „Website“). The provider is Global Solutions Systems GmbH, Bessemerstraße 51, 1. OG, 12103 Berlin, Germany, e-mail info@global-solutions-systems.com (the „Provider“).

The App is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple's terms apply in addition, in particular the Licensed Application End User License Agreement. In case of conflict, Apple's terms prevail in the relationship between you and Apple.

Using the Website is free of charge and requires no user account. A contract for using the App is not concluded through the Website but through the App Store.

2. What the App does

Avantido captures and manages to-dos. The Provider grants you a simple, non-transferable right to use the App on the devices associated with your Apple ID for your own purposes.

• Free forever: capturing tasks as text, lists and categories, reminders, export to Calendar and Reminders, iCloud sync, widget, Siri shortcuts.
• Avantido Pro (one-time purchase): voice capture, photo capture and AI analysis.

The feature set may evolve through updates. There is no claim to the unchanged continuation of individual features, provided the contractual use of the purchased functionality is not materially impaired.

3. Avantido Pro

Avantido Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. No recurring costs arise. The purchase applies to the devices associated with your Apple ID and can be shared through Apple Family Sharing if that is set up. A purchase already made can be reactivated in the app at any time via „Restore purchases“.

Apple is your contractual partner for the purchase, the billing and any refunds. Please address refund requests directly to Apple.

4. AI features and your own API key

AI analysis of text and photos requires your own API key with a provider of your choice (Google Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic).

• The respective provider bills you for the use of its AI services. Those costs are not included in the purchase price of Avantido Pro.
• You and the AI provider have your own contractual relationship; its terms and privacy provisions apply in addition.
• Availability, prices, models and answer quality are up to the respective provider. If an interface disappears or changes, the corresponding feature may be limited temporarily or permanently.
• AI results are generated automatically and can be incomplete or wrong. They are suggestions and do not replace your own review. Do not rely on them unchecked, in particular not for appointments, deadlines or decisions with legal, medical or financial consequences.

5. Your obligations

You are responsible for the content you capture in the app or transmit for analysis. Do not transmit content for which you lack the necessary rights, nor content whose processing would violate applicable law or the terms of the AI provider you chose. Photos of people or of documents belonging to others should only be sent to an AI provider with the necessary authorisation.

You are also responsible for keeping your API key confidential. The key is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device.

6. Availability, data and backups

The App runs without a user account and without a server of the Provider. Syncing happens through your private iCloud and is therefore within Apple's responsibility; the Provider cannot guarantee any particular availability of iCloud sync.

iCloud sync is not a backup. Securing your data is your own responsibility, for example through a device backup. Tasks can additionally be exported and shared as a file.

No particular availability is guaranteed for the Website. Maintenance, faults and outages may temporarily restrict access.

7. Warranty and liability

The statutory provisions on liability for defects apply. The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act. In cases of simple negligence the Provider is liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability is otherwise excluded.

The Provider is not liable for third-party services, in particular Apple (App Store, iCloud, speech recognition) and the AI providers; their terms apply in that respect.

8. Content and links on this website

The content of this website is prepared with care. No warranty is given for its accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Blog posts reflect the state of affairs at the time of publication and are not updated continuously.

As a service provider, the Provider is responsible for its own content on this website under the general laws pursuant to § 7(1) DDG. Under §§ 8 to 10 DDG, however, there is no obligation to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity.

This website links to external offerings in individual places, for instance to the App Store or to the privacy notices of the providers named. The Provider has no influence on their content and does not adopt it as its own. No legal violations were apparent at the time of linking. If we become aware of an infringement, we will remove the link in question without delay.

9. Changes to these terms

The Provider may amend these terms where this is necessary to reflect changed features or legal requirements. The version published here is the one that applies. Material changes will be indicated in the app or on this page.

10. Applicable law and dispute resolution

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in the EU, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.

The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
