Terms of Service for MediaStashBox

Last Updated: September 16, 2026

1. Provider and Scope

(1) These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the mobile app MediaStashBox ("App") for iOS and Android, provided by:

BechtStudio, Maxim Becht, Friedenstraße 59, 71636 Ludwigsburg, Germany, Email: support@bechtstudio.com ("we", "us").

(2) By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

(3) Our Privacy Policy explains how data is handled when you use the App.

2. Description of the App

(1) The App lets you catalogue and organize your personal media collection (e.g. books, films, TV shows, music and games) on your device. Features include adding and editing entries, storage locations, genres, tags, ratings and notes, search and filters, lending records and reminders, barcode and cover scanning, metadata lookups, and export and import of backup files.

(2) The App works locally on your device and does not require an account. Some features (metadata lookups, cover images) require an internet connection and use third-party services as described in the Privacy Policy.

(3) The App is currently provided free of charge and contains no advertising or in-app purchases.

3. License

(1) We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with these Terms and the usage rules of the app store you downloaded it from.

(2) You may not:

  • copy, modify, distribute, rent, lease, lend or sell the App;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except where mandatory law expressly permits this;
  • remove or alter copyright notices, trademarks or other proprietary notices;
  • use the App or the metadata lookups in a way that overloads, disrupts or circumvents the security of our or third-party services (e.g. automated mass queries, scraping);
  • use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of third-party rights.

4. Your Content

(1) All content you create or add in the App (e.g. entries, notes, ratings, photos, lending records) ("Your Content") remains yours and is stored on your device. We do not receive it and claim no rights to it.

(2) You are responsible for Your Content. In particular, only add photos and information you are entitled to use, and only record information about other people (e.g. names of people you lend items to) in accordance with applicable law.

(3) If you voluntarily send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve the App without any obligation to you. This does not apply to personal data contained in your message, which is handled according to the Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Metadata and Content

(1) Titles, descriptions, cover images and other metadata are provided by third-party services (e.g. Google Books, Open Library, Apple iTunes Search API). We do not control this content and do not guarantee that it is accurate, complete, current or available.

(2) Such content, including cover images, may be protected by copyright or other rights of their respective owners. It is made available in the App solely for cataloguing your personal collection. You may not use it for any other purpose, in particular not commercially or for publication.

(3) The availability of third-party services may change or end at any time, which may limit lookup features. Names of third-party services are trademarks of their respective owners; their mention does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement of the App.

6. Data Storage, Backups and Data Loss

(1) Your data is stored only on your device. If you delete the App, reset its data, or lose or damage your device, your data may be permanently lost unless you have a backup.

(2) We recommend regularly using the App's export function and keeping backup files in a safe place. We cannot restore your data, because we have no access to it.

(3) Backup files are not encrypted. You are responsible for where you store and with whom you share them.

7. Availability, Updates and Support

(1) We strive to keep the App working, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation or compatibility with every device or operating system version.

(2) We may update, change or discontinue the App or individual features. Statutory update obligations towards consumers remain unaffected.

(3) Support is provided voluntarily via support@bechtstudio.com.

8. Liability

(1) We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, for fraudulently concealed defects, and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

(2) As the App is provided free of charge, we are not liable for slight negligence, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

(3) Where these Terms are subject to the laws of a country other than Germany, the limitations above apply to the maximum extent permitted by that law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable mandatory law.

9. App Stores

(1) The App is distributed via the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Your use of the store and your download are also subject to the store operator's terms (e.g. Apple Media Services Terms, Google Play Terms of Service).

(2) Additional terms for Apple devices: If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

  • These Terms are concluded between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
  • The license under Section 3 is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms, except that the App may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing.
  • We are solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App as described in these Terms or as required by law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the App.
  • If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our responsibility, subject to Section 8.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
  • In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of such claim.
  • You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (e.g. your mobile data or wireless service agreement).
  • Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
  • Questions, complaints or claims regarding the App should be directed to us at the contact details in Section 13.

10. Term and Termination

(1) You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.

(2) We may restrict or end your right to use the App if you seriously violate these Terms. The App is otherwise provided for an indefinite period.

(3) Sections 4 to 6, 8 and 11 remain in effect after termination to the extent their nature requires.

11. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution

(1) 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 (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence.

(2) If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from these Terms is Ludwigsburg, Germany. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

(3) We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle). Please contact us directly at support@bechtstudio.com if you have a complaint; we will try to find a solution.

12. Changes to These Terms

(1) We may amend these Terms if this becomes necessary due to changes in the App's functions, legal requirements or case law. The current version is always available on our website and in the App.

(2) Amended Terms apply to versions of the App you install or update after the amendment has been published. If an amendment significantly affects your rights, we will point this out in the App. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you may stop using the App at any time.

13. Final Provisions and Contact

(1) Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory provisions apply in place of the invalid provision.

(2) These Terms are available in English and German. In the event of any discrepancy, the German version prevails, unless mandatory law of your country of residence requires otherwise.
