These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the iOS app "Vorino" (the "App") and all related services, including the content hosted at vorinoapp.de and the backend API.
The App is provided by:
Marcel Söndenaa-Defourny
Muldentalstraße 100
04288 Leipzig (Liebertwolkwitz)
Germany
Email: support@vorinoapp.de
These Terms become part of our agreement when you accept them. The App asks you to do so on first launch and whenever these Terms change (“Accept” button). Using the App does not depend on it: with “Later” you keep using it as before. § 8 governs what applies when these Terms change.
The App is distributed exclusively via the Apple App Store. Download and installation are governed by Apple's terms. In addition, these Terms apply to your use of the App once you have accepted them (§ 1).
All in-app purchases — in particular the Pro subscription — are processed exclusively through Apple's StoreKit system. The contracting party for each purchase is Apple Distribution International Ltd. (or the relevant Apple subsidiary), not the provider directly. Apple's App Store and Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions apply in addition.
The exact feature set of the Pro tier may change over time. We will inform you about material changes in the App, at the latest when they take effect.
Features labeled as beta, currently Pantry from a Photo, are provided to Pro users in addition to the scope set out in 3.2. Pantry from a Photo is only available on devices with iOS or iPadOS 27 and Apple Intelligence turned on. Recognition uses AI on your device, can miss or misname products and only adds what you confirm. We may change beta features for a valid reason, in particular if Apple changes the technical basis, another AI model or provider delivers more reliable results, or legal requirements make it necessary; we will inform you in good time beforehand. This applies equally to subscriptions and the one-time purchase. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
You agree not to misuse the App. The following are prohibited in particular:
Violations may result in immediate blocking of API access for the affected device.
Vorino Pro is offered in three forms: as a monthly subscription, as an annual subscription, and as a one-time purchase with no term ("Lifetime"). Current pricing is shown in the App and on the App Store.
The one-time purchase is not a subscription: it does not renew, is not charged again, and cannot be cancelled. It applies to the Vorino app on all devices used with the same Apple ID and is not limited in time. Sections 5.2 to 5.4 (trial, auto-renewal, cancellation) do not apply to it.
When you first subscribe to the annual Pro plan, Apple grants a 14-day free trial. Unless the subscription is cancelled via your Apple ID at least 24 hours before the end of the trial, it will convert into a paid subscription.
The subscription automatically renews for the selected period (monthly or annual) unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Billing is performed by Apple using your stored payment method.
Cancellation is handled exclusively via your Apple ID settings:
Settings → [Apple ID] → Subscriptions → Vorino Pro → Cancel Subscription
Cancellation through the provider is technically not possible because Apple manages the contract.
Refund requests must be directed to Apple at: https://reportaproblem.apple.com
The App uses AI models (e.g. for text recognition, Pantry from a Photo, recipe suggestions). AI suggestions are statistically derived recommendations and may contain errors. In particular:
Use of the AI features is at your own risk.
The provider strives to maintain a smooth operation but does not owe a specific service level. Maintenance, backend disruptions, or third-party outages (Apple, Google) may temporarily restrict availability.
The provider has unlimited liability for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health. For simple negligence the provider is liable only for breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), and only up to the typical, foreseeable damage. Further liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
The App, the App design, source code, logo, and backend infrastructure are protected by copyright and are the exclusive property of the provider or its licensors.
You are granted a simple, non-transferable licence to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes on your own devices.
Pantry items, favourites, weekly plans, shopping lists and the other data you create while using the App remain yours. This data is stored on your device and, if you use iCloud, synced within your own private iCloud — the provider has no access to it and requires no licence to it.
Separate rules apply to content you actively send us — a recipe submission or a dish request. This content is transmitted to the provider and stored there.
By submitting, you warrant that you wrote the recipe yourself and that no third-party rights (in particular copyright) stand in its way. Submitting recipes copied from books, magazines, websites or other sources is not permitted.
You grant the provider a simple, non-exclusive, unlimited in time and place, transferable and royalty-free right to use the submitted content — including the right to edit it (for example to standardise quantities or shorten steps), to publish it in the App, and to make it available to all users. Publication is made without naming you. You may revoke this grant for the future at any time by writing to support@vorinoapp.de; content already incorporated into the App may be removed only where this is technically and reasonably possible.
There is no entitlement to publication, to a reply, or to remuneration. The provider reviews every submission and may reject it without giving reasons.
All recipe content and recipe images in the App were created by the provider (AI-generated and reviewed) and remain the provider's sole property. This content is intended solely for your personal use within the App — commercial re-use is prohibited without the provider's written permission.
The underlying recognition and ML features are provided on-device via Apple's frameworks (including Vision and Foundation Models) and used in accordance with the applicable licence terms.
We may amend these Terms for legitimate reasons, for example changes in the law, new features or changes to third-party terms.
Changes only take effect with your consent. We ask you in the App: a notice briefly states what changes, links to the new version and offers “Accept” and “Later”. Silence or simply continuing to use the App does not count as consent.
If you do not agree, the previous version continues to apply to you. Declining does not restrict paid services (Pro subscription and one-time purchase).
The current version is always available at vorinoapp.de/terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.
If you are a consumer, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies. If you are a merchant, the place of jurisdiction is the seat of the provider (Leipzig).
The European Commission's online dispute resolution (ODR) platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025.
We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.
Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision will be replaced by a regulation that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.
You may not transfer your rights and obligations under these Terms to third parties without the prior written consent of the provider.
Amendments and supplements to these Terms require at least text form. This also applies to the cancellation of this text-form requirement. Changes by the provider are governed by § 8.
