Terms of use

1. Provider and scope

The provider of the Mac app McSync is BG BizGames GmbH, Reitweg 5, 8055 Graz, Austria (“we”). These terms apply to this website and to the relationship between you and us.

The licence to the app itself is not governed by these terms. It follows from Apple's standard licence for App Store applications (Licensed Application End User License Agreement), which you accept when obtaining the app from the Mac App Store. We do not provide a licence agreement of our own. Where these terms and the standard licence differ, the standard licence governs the use of the app.

2. What the app does

McSync compares folders on your Mac and carries out the changes derived from that comparison: copying files, replacing them or moving them to the Trash. The app works locally only and without network access. Which changes are carried out is determined solely by your selection and your confirmation of the run.

3. No account

Use requires no registration and no account with us. We operate no service for McSync that the app could sign in to.

4. Free version and full version

In its free version McSync can be used indefinitely and holds up to five locations across all boards. The full version lifts that limit and is acquired as a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store; it is not a subscription and no recurring costs arise. Apple is the contractual partner for that purchase. The purchase is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on your devices.

Only the creation of further locations is limited. Locations that already exist are kept in any case and are not removed, not even after a refund.

5. Right of withdrawal

Apple's withdrawal and refund rules apply to purchases on the Mac App Store. Please direct refund requests to Apple; we can neither view nor refund purchases.

6. Permitted use

The scope of the licence follows from Apple's standard licence (point 1): a non-transferable right to use McSync on Apple-branded devices that you own or control. In addition: reverse engineering, modifying or redistributing the app and removing copyright notices are not permitted, unless statutory permissions — such as decompilation for interoperability under § 40e UrhG — provide otherwise.

7. Backups and responsibility for your data

Choosing the folders, the task and the directions is up to you. Before every run McSync shows which actions will be carried out; only your confirmation changes files. Please check those figures, especially for tasks that replace or delete.

This exclusion of liability applies to the extent permitted by law. Liability for intent and gross negligence, claims under the Product Liability Act and mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected; see point 8.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, under the provisions of the Product Liability Act, and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Loss of data. You are expected to back up your data regularly and in a manner appropriate to the risk (point 7). Should data nevertheless be lost in a way for which we are answerable, our liability is limited to the effort that would have been necessary to restore the data from properly made backup copies. Where the loss is due to such a backup being absent or unsuitable, we are not liable for it.

Liability for indirect damage, consequential damage and lost profit is likewise excluded. Liability for intent and gross negligence, for personal injury, under the Product Liability Act, and mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected in every case.

9. Availability and updates

We continue to develop McSync and may change, add or discontinue functions. There is no entitlement to a particular function or to future updates. Updates are provided through the Mac App Store.

10. Privacy

How data is handled is set out in the privacy policy.

11. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms where this is necessary because of a change to the app, to the legal situation or to case law. The version in force is published on this page; the date is given below.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Towards consumers this applies only insofar as it does not restrict mandatory protective provisions of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence.

Towards businesses, the place of jurisdiction is Graz. Towards consumers the statutory venues apply; no deviating place of jurisdiction is agreed (§ 14 KSchG).

If you are a consumer residing in another state of the European Economic Area, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your state of residence remain applicable in every case (Art. 6 Rome I Regulation). Our information duties as a provider, by contrast, follow Austrian law (country-of-origin principle, § 20 ECG).

13. Note regarding Apple

McSync is obtained through the Mac App Store. For that:

• These terms are between you and us. Apple is not a party to them and provides no warranty for McSync.
• The licence to the app is Apple's standard licence (point 1). Apple is a third-party beneficiary of it and may enforce it against end users.
• Maintenance and support for McSync are provided by us, not by Apple (point 14).
• Claims in connection with McSync — for defects, damage or the infringement of third-party rights — are to be directed to us, not to Apple.
