The T&Cs constitute the user agreement for the use of the REACH APP between the User and Sinocare after the registration of a User Account (“User Agreement”).

If the User does not update his REACH APP to the latest version provided by Sinocare, Sinocare cannot guarantee that the use of the REACH APP takes place with the current security standards.
5. SUPPLY OF THE REACH APP
5.1 Sinocare supplies the REACH APP as a digital download on its website, which can be found at https://www.icancgm.com, and through Apple’s App Store, the Google Play Store and Huawei AppGallery. To the extent that the supply of the REACH APP is carried out by the providers of the aforementioned app stores, any potential delay in the supply of the REACH APP (including updates) by the providers of the app store is not the responsibility of Sinocare and does not constitute any claims of the User against Sinocare.
5.2 The use and supply of the REACH APP is free of charge and the User may download the REACH APP at any time from Sinocare’ s website or the app stores mentioned above. If in the future the REACH APP should provide chargeable content, Sinocare will inform the User in due time about the chargeability.
5.3 Sinocare supplies the REACH APP in its latest version and with the features and functions as set forth in Section 2. The features, functions and attributes of the Sinocare Services and the REACH APP described in Section 2 constitute the subjective and objective conformity requirements agreed upon between Sinocare and the User.
6. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
6.1 Sinocare warrants that the REACH APP conforms to the subjective and objective conformity requirements at the time of its supply and that its use by the User to the contractually agreed extent in the country of first download of the app does not conflict with any third party rights. The User is aware that a stable internet connection of his device and the device of the iCAN User is required to ensure live data sharing. This is solely in the responsibility of the User and any malfunctions of the REACH APP in this context or in context of general internet traffic outages are outside the responsibility of Sinocare.
6.2 Insofar as the REACH APP does not meet the subjective or objective requirements for conformity as stipulated in these T&Cs, the user shall be entitled to the statutory warranty claims such as subsequent performance, revocation of the contract, reduction of the purchase price or damages, provided that the prerequisites of these provisions are met.
6.3 In accordance with Section 6.4, Sinocare will provide updates to the REACH APP, which maintain the contractual condition of the REACH APP, including (critical) security updates (“Updates”).
6.4 Sinocare provides Updates for the REACH APP as of the initial supply of the app to an individual User for a minimum period of two (2) years and as long as Sinocare supplies the REACH APP to an individual User. The maximum eligibility of an individual User to receive Updates ends with the termination of the User Agreement pursuant to Section 7 of these T&Cs.
6.5 Sinocare informs the User on available Updates by a corresponding notice in the REACH APP or on the website. In addition, providers of the app stores may inform the User on available Updates. Sinocare shall not be liable for any defect due to a failure by the User to update the REACH APP of which Sinocare has informed the User, unless the failure to update is caused by defective installation instructions provided to the User.
6.6 The liability under statutory law (regardless of the legal basis) of Sinocare and its legal representatives and vicarious agents is limited to damages (a) resulting from intent and gross negligence of Sinocare, its legal representatives or vicarious agents, (b) to life, body or health or (c) resulting from the culpable breach of material contractual obligations, i.e. obligations the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the due performance of the contract or the breach of which jeopardizes the realization of the purpose of the contract and compliance with which the other party may regularly rely on. In the latter case the liability shall be limited in case of slight negligence to the damage which was typically foreseeable at the time of contract conclusion.
6.7 The liability for the loss of data is limited to the effort for retrieval that would have occurred in case of regular and proper back-ups. The User is solely responsible for conducting the back-ups of the data that they entered or uploaded to Sinocare’ s cloud servers through the use of the respective feature in the REACH APP. The User is also solely responsible for saving any information required for evidence, accounting or other purposes on a storage device independent of Sinocare’ s services.

7.3 The User may terminate the User Agreement at any time either by sending a termination notice in text form via email to support@sinocare.com or by closing the User Account in the REACH APP and deletion of the REACH APP.

7.6 In the event that the User repeatedly violates legal provisions or obligations arising from these T&Cs, Sinocare may permanently suspend the respective User Account. Violations of obligations under these T&Cs permitting permanent suspension include, in particular, the User’s obligations not to:
a) transfer the User Account to a third party or grant a third party access to the User Account;
b) provide false information during the registration process;
c) use an email address that is not owned by the User;
d) use the REACH APP in a manner that may cause damage to the REACH APP, Sinocare’ s IT infrastructure (including its cloud servers); or
e) violate these T&Cs, statutory legal provisions or any third party rights (in particular those of the iCAN User).

Sinocare will inform the User of the reasons for temporary or permanent suspension at the latest when the suspension becomes effective.

9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Sinocare may, at its sole discretion, extend, reduce, change or completely cease to provide Sinocare Services to the Users, and amend these T&Cs. As far as changes are exclusively connected with advantages for the User, Sinocare will inform the User 30 days before the changes apply. In case of material changes to the Sinocare Services or to these T&Cs that could be disadvantageous for the User (e.g. introduction of a fee for previously free services, modifications of termination rights to the detriment of Users), Sinocare will inform the User upon a 30 days’ notice period. Changes become binding for the User and Sinocare if the User does not reject in writing (email is sufficient) within this deadline and continues to use the REACH APP and the Sinocare Services after the expiration of the deadline. Sinocare informs the End User about this effect along with the change notice.
9.2 These T&Cs shall exclusively be governed by and construed under the laws of EU legislation excluding its provision on the conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). In the event that your residence or abode is in a member state of the European Union and if you are a consumer, this stipulation is not in conflict with mandatory rules of the country in which your residence or abode is situated. Such rules shall remain unaffected.
9.3 Should any provision of these T&Cs be or become invalid in whole or in parts or should a loophole requiring closing show up, the validity of the other provisions shall not be affected. Rather, the Parties shall be obliged to replace the invalid or unenforceable provisions with another valid provision as close to the economic effect as possible.
