1. Provider and scope

These Terms of Service ("terms") govern the use of the TacOps web application at app.tacops.gg and the websites under tacops.gg (together, the "service"). The service is provided by:

Patrick Probst
c/o IP-Management #8844
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 18
20459 Hamburg
Germany

Email: admin@tacops.gg (this address is also our single point of contact for authorities and for reports under section 12)

Provider and controller: Patrick Probst, sole proprietor. We communicate in English and German.

These terms become part of the contract when you accept them - when you sign in to the service for the first time, and again when you subscribe to TacOps Pro at checkout. Terms or conditions of your own that deviate from these terms do not apply unless we agree to them in writing.

TacOps is a fan project for the game Arma Reforger. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Bohemia Interactive a.s. Arma Reforger is a trademark of Bohemia Interactive a.s.

2. The service

TacOps is a browser-based tactical map and mission-planning tool for Arma Reforger communities. It lets you view game maps, draw and annotate tactical plans, share plans with others, and collaborate on plans in real time. The concrete range of functions is the one presented in the application at the time of use.

Parts of the service are available without registration. Saving plans to your account and other account-bound features require signing in.

The service is a planning tool for a video game. It is not designed for, and must not be relied on for, real-world military, security, or safety-critical purposes.

3. Our rights in the service

The service - including its software, design, user interface, map renderings, tile data, databases, and the TacOps name and logo - is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights and belongs to us or our licensors. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for your own purposes for the duration of your use of the service in accordance with these terms. All rights not expressly granted remain with us.

You must not copy, scrape, or bulk-download map tiles or other service data outside the functions the service provides, and you must not reverse engineer the service except where the law permits it regardless of this clause.

4. Account and eligibility

Sign-in to TacOps happens through your Steam account (Steam is a service of Valve Corporation; Valve's own terms apply to your Steam account). We do not receive your Steam password.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the service with an account. If you are younger than 18, you may use an account and subscribe to TacOps Pro only with the consent of your legal guardian. We may terminate accounts of users who do not meet these requirements.

You are responsible for activity that happens through your account and must not pass your account on to third parties.

5. Free tier and TacOps Pro

The core of the service is free of charge. In addition, we offer a paid subscription ("TacOps Pro") that unlocks additional features and higher usage limits. The features and limits of the free tier and of TacOps Pro are the ones displayed in the application and at checkout at the time you subscribe.

Changes to the feature set of a running paid subscription are governed by section 13. Your statutory rights for digital products (sections 327 et seq. of the German Civil Code - BGB), including the right to updates that keep the service in conformity with the contract, remain unaffected by these terms.

6. Prices and payment

The prices shown at checkout apply. Prices are shown in US dollars or, for customers in the eurozone, in euros. Prices are final prices. We are a small business under § 19 UStG and charge no value-added tax, so no tax is added to the displayed price.

Payment is processed by our payment provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. and its affiliates). The contract for TacOps Pro is concluded when you complete the checkout. You will receive a confirmation by the email address you provide at checkout. Invoices and receipts are available in the customer portal.

If a renewal payment fails, we may retry the charge in line with Stripe's schedule. If payment ultimately fails, the subscription ends and your account falls back to the free tier.

Launch window. If you subscribe during the launch window shown at checkout, you pay nothing until the window ends. Your first payment falls due on the date shown at checkout, at the displayed price, unless you cancel before that date. The 14-day withdrawal period runs from the day you subscribe, not from the first payment.

Customer information (§ 312i BGB)

You conclude the contract in these technical steps:

• You choose a plan in the application.
• You review the order on the Stripe Checkout page.
• You confirm with the payment button.

You can correct your input on the Checkout page until you confirm. We store the contract text - these terms, the confirmation email, and the invoices in the customer portal - and you can read it there. The contract language is English. Prices are shown in euros for customers in the eurozone and in US dollars elsewhere; if your card is issued in another currency, your card issuer converts the amount.

7. Term, renewal, and cancellation

Monthly plan. The monthly plan runs for one month and renews for one month at a time unless you cancel before the current month ends. You can cancel at any time, with effect at the end of the current month.

Yearly plan. The yearly plan runs for an initial term of twelve months. After the initial term it continues for an indefinite period, and you can then cancel it at any time with a notice period of one month. For billing convenience we may continue to charge yearly; if the subscription ends between billing dates as a result of your cancellation, we refund the part of the prepaid amount that covers the time after the end of the contract.

You can cancel using the cancellation page at tacops.gg/cancel.html (no login required), in the customer portal, which you reach from the billing section in the application, or by a clear message to us (for example by email to admin@tacops.gg with the email address or Steam profile your account uses). Cancellation in due time by any of these routes is effective. You receive a receipt by email immediately, with the content of your declaration, the date and time we received it, and the date your subscription ends.

After cancellation you keep Pro access until the subscription ends. Amounts already paid for the running billing period are not refunded, except as provided for the yearly plan above, where the law requires it (in particular the right of withdrawal in section 8), or where these terms say otherwise (sections 13 and 16).

The right of both parties to terminate for cause remains unaffected.

Content you created while on TacOps Pro remains yours after the subscription ends. Features and limits fall back to the free tier. Existing content is not deleted and stays editable; the free-tier limits then apply to creating new content and to growing existing content beyond those limits.

8. Right of withdrawal for consumers

If you are a consumer, you have a statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts. The automatic renewal of an existing subscription does not create a new withdrawal right. You can declare a withdrawal with the online withdrawal function at tacops.gg/cancel.html, by email, or by post. The online withdrawal function acknowledges your withdrawal by email immediately with the content, date, and time.

At checkout you can expressly request that the service starts immediately, before the withdrawal period ends. Your right of withdrawal remains; if you withdraw after such a request, you owe pro-rata payment for the period already provided, as described above.

9. Your content

Plans, drawings, notes, uploaded maps and images, and other content you create or upload ("your content") remain yours. You grant us the non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right - sublicensable to the hosting and infrastructure providers we use to run the service - to store, reproduce, adapt in technical respects (for example rendering, thumbnails, exports, and caching), and transmit your content to the extent necessary to operate the service, including delivering it to people you share it with. This right ends when you delete the content or your account, except that deleted content can persist in backups for up to seven days before it is rotated out, and that we may retain specific content for as long as necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or to comply with legal obligations.

You are responsible for your content. You must hold the necessary rights to anything you upload and must not upload content that infringes third-party rights or violates applicable law.

If you share a plan through a share link, everyone with the link can view it (and, if you enable it, edit it). You control creating and revoking share links.

10. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, feature ideas, or other feedback about the service, we may use them to improve and develop the service without restriction and without compensation. This does not apply to your content under section 9.

11. Acceptable use and API

You must not:

• disrupt or overload the service, or access it in ways other than the provided interfaces and the documented API;
• attempt to bypass access controls, usage limits, or payment;
• use the service to store or distribute unlawful content, or content that infringes the rights of others;
• resell the service or offer it to third parties as your own service without our consent.

For the public API, the following also applies: API keys belong to your account and must be kept confidential. API access is subject to the documented rate limits, which we may adjust to protect the service. We may suspend or revoke API access that violates these terms or endangers the stability of the service. The API is provided without a guaranteed service level; section 13 applies to its availability.

Pay per call. If you do not have API access included, you can pay for single API requests with USDC on Base at the price shown in the 402 response. Each paid request is performed immediately and in full; by paying you request that and acknowledge that the withdrawal right ends with performance (§ 356 (4) BGB). Paid requests are not refunded.

12. Reporting content and moderation

If you believe that content shared through the service is illegal or violates these terms, you can report it to admin@tacops.gg. To help us process the report, include the link to the content, an explanation of why you consider it illegal or in violation, your name and email address, and a statement that your report is made in good faith and that the information in it is accurate. You can send reports in English or German.

Reports are reviewed by a human; we do not use automated decision-making for content moderation. Depending on the outcome, we may remove or disable content, disable a share link, or restrict, suspend, or terminate an account (section 16). We take these measures diligently, objectively, and proportionately, with due regard to the rights and legitimate interests of everyone involved, including fundamental rights such as freedom of expression. We tell the person who reported the content what we decided.

If we remove or restrict your content or your account, we will inform you of the decision and the reasons for it, unless the law prevents this. You can contest a decision by replying to our notice; a human reviews the objection.

13. Availability and changes to the service

We aim for high availability but do not owe uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, updates, and disturbances outside our control (such as failures of hosting or network providers) can lead to temporary interruptions.

We may change the service beyond what is necessary to maintain conformity with the contract only for valid reasons - in particular adaptation to a new technical environment or to changed legal requirements, increased user numbers, or a change to a third-party service the service depends on (for example the game, Steam, or a hosting provider) - and at no additional cost to you. We will inform you clearly about such changes. If a change to a paid feature set more than insignificantly impairs your access to or your use of TacOps Pro, we will inform you by email on a durable medium reasonably in advance, and you may terminate the subscription free of charge within 30 days of the change (or of the notice, if later) with a pro-rata refund of prepaid amounts. Your statutory rights under sections 327e et seq. and 327r BGB remain unaffected.

We recommend exporting important plans regularly; export functions are provided in the application.

14. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, and under mandatory statutory liability (such as product liability law) and to the extent we have assumed a guarantee.

For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations - obligations whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfillment you may regularly rely. In that case, our liability is limited to the damage foreseeable at the conclusion of the contract and typical for this type of contract.

In the event of loss of data caused by slight negligence, our liability is limited to the damage that would have occurred even if the data had been backed up regularly and in a manner appropriate to its significance; this does not limit our own backup obligations for content stored in the service.

In all other respects, our liability is excluded. The above limitations also apply in favor of our legal representatives and vicarious agents. Your statutory warranty rights for digital products (sections 327 et seq. BGB) remain unaffected.

15. Indemnification

If a third party raises claims against us because your content or your use of the service culpably violates these terms or applicable law, you will indemnify us against these claims and reimburse the reasonable costs of legal defense that are foreseeable and typical for this type of contract, unless you are not responsible for the violation. We will inform you without undue delay of any such claim and give you the opportunity to comment.

16. Termination and suspension

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time in the application settings. Deleting your account also ends a running TacOps Pro subscription with immediate effect, and we delete your payment profile at our payment provider except where we or the provider must retain records under statutory retention duties. Amounts already paid are not refunded in this case, except where the law requires it. For a yearly plan after its first year, we refund the unused part in the same way as for a cancellation (section 7). If you only want to stop paying but keep your account, cancel instead (section 7). Before deleting your account, you can export your plans using the export functions in the application.

We may suspend or terminate your access for good cause, in particular in the event of serious or repeated violations of section 11 or of the content rules in section 12, after weighing the interests involved and - where reasonable - after prior warning. If we terminate a paid subscription this way, or if we discontinue the service, we refund prepaid amounts for the time after the end of access on a pro-rata basis, unless the termination is based on conduct for which you are responsible and the law permits us to retain the payment. Statutory rights and claims remain unaffected.

17. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms with effect for the future where the amendment is necessary because of a change in the law or case law, a decision by a court or authority, or a change in the technical or organizational environment of the service, and where the amendment is reasonable for you, taking your interests into account. The amendment must not restrict essential rights you have under the contract.

We will announce amendments that affect a running paid subscription by email at least 30 days before they take effect; other amendments are announced in the application. If an amendment would disadvantage you more than insignificantly, it takes effect only if you accept it; for a running paid subscription you can instead cancel before it takes effect (section 7), and if the amendment would apply before your subscription ends, you can terminate free of charge with effect from the day the amendment takes effect, with a pro-rata refund of prepaid amounts.

18. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the state of your habitual residence.

We may transfer the contract with you, with all rights and obligations, to a legal successor of the service (for example if the service is contributed to a company). We will announce such a transfer at least 30 days in advance; you may terminate the contract free of charge with effect from the date of the transfer.

We may refuse or terminate the provision of the service where this is required under applicable sanctions or export-control rules.

If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Hamburg, Germany. For consumers, the statutory rules on jurisdiction apply.

We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).

Should individual provisions of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
