Terms of use — Android

Last updated: 2026-05-14 Provider: Balane GmbH · support@balane.tech

These terms apply to the Android version of Hokd, distributed via the Google Play Store. The iPhone and Mac version is governed by the standard Apple App Store terms; no separate Hokd EULA exists there.

1. Subject matter

These Terms of Use (EULA) govern the use of the mobile application "Hokd" (the App) on Android devices. By installing or using the App you agree to these terms.

The App is distributed via the Google Play Store. The Google Play Terms of Service additionally apply to the acquisition of the App.

2. Licence scope

You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on devices under your control, exclusively for private, non-commercial purposes.

You may not:

  • decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the App to human-readable source code, except where mandatory law permits (§ 69e German Copyright Act);
  • rent, lease, resell, or sublicence the App;
  • modify the App or create derivative works;
  • automatically scrape or mirror the App or its content.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

3. Hokd Pro – subscription

Certain features are available only with the "Hokd Pro" subscription (in particular AI-powered analyses, unlimited active challenges).

  • Billing runs through Google Play Billing.
  • Available periods: monthly or yearly (auto-renewing at the end of each period).
  • Cancellation any time via Google Play subscription management, effective at the end of the current period.
  • Prices and availability may change; changes are announced in the app in advance.
  • Pro content (AI syntheses, etc.) remains stored locally after the subscription ends; new Pro actions are then no longer possible.

4. AI features

AI-powered features (stage extraction, logbook synthesis, reflection synthesis, playbook review, flashcard generation, playbook-from-text) forward your input via a backend proxy operated by Hokd (Vercel, Frankfurt region) to the LLM providers Anthropic Claude and OpenAI. Processing details are in the Android privacy policy.

A fair-use quota of 200 AI calls per Pro user per month applies. Once exceeded, further AI calls are rejected until the next month.

5. User content

You retain all rights in the content you create in the App (stage notes, reflections, playbooks, challenges, etc.). You grant Hokd only the licence required to provide the AI features, narrowly limited to that purpose (transmission to the LLM provider to generate the response, no further retention).

You are responsible for the content you input and ensure it does not infringe third-party rights.

6. Availability and changes

Hokd strives to keep the App and the AI backend functions highly available, but does not guarantee any specific availability. AI features may be temporarily unavailable (e.g. maintenance, provider outage).

Hokd may modify, supplement, or discontinue the App, individual features, or the Pro offering, provided this is reasonable for the user and considers their legitimate interests.

7. Liability

Hokd is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health resulting from a negligent breach of duty by Hokd or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by Hokd's legal representatives or agents, and for other damages based on intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Hokd or its legal representatives or agents.

For slight negligence, Hokd is liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) and limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

AI content: AI-generated content is not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or fit for a particular purpose. It serves as reflection support, not as professional advice (medical, legal, psychological, financial). You use it at your own risk.

8. Right of withdrawal (for EU consumers)

You have the right to withdraw from a Pro subscription contract within 14 days of conclusion without giving reasons.

The right of withdrawal expires upon the start of contract performance (= first use of a Pro feature after purchase), provided you have expressly consented and confirmed that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. The App captures this confirmation in the Pro purchase flow.

9. Privacy

The separate Android privacy policy applies (see privacy section above).

10. Changes to these terms

Hokd may amend these terms. Material changes are announced in the app; they are deemed accepted if you do not object within 6 weeks of the announcement and continue using the App.

11. Governing law / jurisdiction

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, the protection of the law of their habitual residence remains unaffected.
