September 13, 2025

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and DP Tec Solutions GmbH, a company incorporated under the laws of Germany with its registered office at Humboldstraße 25, 21509 Glinde, Germany (“Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account, subscribing to, or otherwise using the services available at dishpointer.com and its subdomains (the “Service”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Scope of Application and Services

1.1 These Terms govern your use of our digital services, whether free or paid. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you enter into a paid subscription, these Terms also form the basis of the contractual relationship between you and us. Any deviating conditions proposed by you shall not apply unless expressly agreed in writing.

1.2 We provide access to an online service for planning, aligning, and maintaining satellite dish installations. Access is available in two forms:

  • a) Basic Service: free of charge, with Apple Maps as the map provider and limited features.
  • b) Pro Plan: paid subscription granting access to additional features and additionally Google Maps as the Map provider.

1.3 The Service is provided online. No physical goods or downloadable software are delivered.

1.4 These Terms apply to consumers and traders. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business, or profession. A trader is any natural or legal person acting for commercial or professional purposes when entering into a contract with us.

1.5 The Service relies technically and contractually on third-party services, in particular Google Maps Platform and Apple Maps. By using the Service, you also accept that these third-party terms and privacy policies apply to your use of the Service, as their functionality is an inseparable part of our platform. The detailed references can be found in Section 12 (Third-Party Services).

1.6 Coverage of maps and satellite data may vary across geographic regions. Certain features are only available in specific areas.

2. Account Registration and User Responsibilities

2.1 Registration is required to access the Pro Plan. You must provide accurate and complete information during registration.

2.2 You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Any activity under your account will be deemed your responsibility.

2.3 Accounts are personal. You may not resell, transfer, sublicense, or share access without our prior written consent.

2.4 You must keep billing and contact information accurate and up to date. We are not liable for consequences arising from outdated information.

3. Acceptable Use and Restrictions

3.1 The Service, whether used with or without an account, is provided solely for the purpose of planning, aligning, and maintaining satellite dish installations.

3.2 You may use the Service for personal or organizational purposes. However, you may not:

  • a) use the Service for any purpose unrelated to satellite dish installations;
  • b) resell, sublicense, lease, or otherwise commercialize access to the Service without our written consent;
  • c) use the Service to create or provide a competing product or service;
  • d) use automated systems, bots, or scraping tools to access the Service;
  • e) reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the Service;
  • f) access or attempt to access non-public areas of the Service;

  • i) abuse or overload third-party services integrated into our platform, including but not limited to Google Maps, Google Geocoding, and Apple Maps, in violation of their respective terms of use.

3.3 Usage of the Service is subject to fair use limitations. In particular:

The Pro Plan currently allows up to 1,000 combined map loads and geocoding requests per month per subscription, across all integrated map providers.

We reserve the right to reasonably adjust this cap with at least 30 days’ prior notice.

To ensure system integrity and compliance with third-party usage policies, we may temporarily restrict, suspend, or throttle access if we detect excessive, abusive, or policy-violating activity.

3.4 We may monitor usage patterns (including request counts) solely to detect abuse, enforce fair use, and protect service stability.

3.5 Any violation of this Section constitutes a material breach of these Terms and entitles us to suspend or terminate access (for registered users) or block access (for non-registered users) in accordance with Section 6 (Cancellation and Termination).

4. User Content

4.1 Some features allow you to create or save your own data (for example, favorite locations or satellite positions). This is “User Content.”

4.2 You retain ownership of your User Content. By using the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host and display such content in connection with the Service.

4.3 We may remove or disable access to User Content if:

  • it is unlawful or infringes third-party rights,
  • it violates these Terms,
  • we are legally required to do so, or
  • it endangers the Service’s operation.

We will usually inform you if your content is removed, unless prohibited by law or security concerns.
