(1) These Terms and Conditions ("T&C") apply to all contracts concluded via the website vipdashplayer.net between the provider and the customer regarding the purchase of digital license keys ("activation codes") for the software "ViPDashPlayer Pro".
(2) Provider and contracting party: ViPDashPlayer (owner: Thorsten Burmann), Lüneburger Str. 23a, 21368 Dahlenburg, Germany, e-mail: vipdashplayer@web.de. Further provider details are listed in the Imprint.
(3) Customer within the meaning of these T&C is any natural or legal person who enters into a contract with the provider. Offers are directed at both consumers (§ 13 BGB) and entrepreneurs (§ 14 BGB).
(4) The version of these T&C valid at the time of contract conclusion is decisive. Any deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms of the customer shall only become part of the contract if and to the extent the provider has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
(1) The subject of the contract is solely the provision of a digital activation code to unlock the premium features of "ViPDashPlayer Pro" (a media player application for Android TV and Android TV boxes or sticks with a Leanback interface, as well as for Android smartphones and tablets with a touch interface). The feature set and term depend on the tariff selected by the customer. Current tariffs are available on the pricing page.
(2) ViPDashPlayer Pro is purely a blank software (media player). No content, channels, movies, series, streams, playlists, subscriptions or references to commercial streaming services are sold, delivered, preloaded or otherwise provided. The customer is solely responsible for importing and playing back only such content for which they hold the necessary rights. This also applies to content from the customer's own devices and storage connected to the player (e.g. an Enigma2 receiver, a TVHeadend server or SMB/WebDAV network shares) – including the customer's own photos and music.
(3) The player does not circumvent any technical protection measures within the meaning of § 95a UrhG. All DRM handling (e.g. ClearKey, Widevine) is performed exclusively through the official Android / Media3 interfaces. Detailed information is provided in the Disclaimer & Licenses.
(4) The non-binding service descriptions on the website do not constitute a binding offer by the provider but an invitation to the customer to submit a binding purchase offer (invitatio ad offerendum).
(1) The order process works as follows: (a) selecting the desired tariff on the pricing page, (b) entering the required order data (e-mail), (c) acknowledging these T&C and the Privacy Policy, (d) expressly consenting to early commencement of contract execution and to the expiration of the right of withdrawal (mandatory checkbox, see § 6), (e) redirect to PayPal and completion of payment.
(2) By clicking the order / PayPal button, the customer submits a binding offer. The contract is concluded upon payment confirmation via PayPal and subsequent provision of the activation code by e-mail or in the customer portal.
(3) The contract text (order data + T&C + withdrawal instructions) is stored by the provider and sent to the customer in text form by e-mail (§ 312f BGB). The currently valid T&C can be viewed, downloaded and saved at any time on the website.
(4) Contract languages are German and English.
(1) The prices displayed on the pricing page at the time of ordering apply. All prices are final prices in euros. Under the small-business rule pursuant to § 19 UStG (German VAT Act), no VAT is shown.
(2) Payment is processed exclusively through PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. The PayPal terms of use and privacy notices apply additionally.
(3) The provider does not receive or store any credit card, bank account or payment data of the customer — only the payment confirmation and the transaction details required for contract performance.
(4) The purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract.
(1) Delivery is digital only. After successful payment confirmation, the customer receives the activation code without undue delay (usually within minutes) by e-mail and additionally in the customer portal.
(2) The customer is obliged to provide a valid, regularly checked e-mail address and is responsible for any delivery issues (e.g. full mailbox, spam filter).
(3) Should the activation code fail to arrive for technical reasons, the customer shall contact the provider at the e-mail address listed in § 1(2); the provider will re-send or regenerate the code without undue delay.
Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us — Thorsten Burmann (ViPDashPlayer), Lüneburger Str. 23a, 21368 Dahlenburg, Germany, e-mail: vipdashplayer@web.de — of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, an e-mail or conveniently via our online withdrawal function at vipdashplayer.net/widerruf.php). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory.
You may also exercise your right of withdrawal online at vipdashplayer.net/widerruf.php — reachable via the „Vertrag widerrufen" (withdraw contract) button in the footer of every page of our website. If you use this online function, we will send you an acknowledgement of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without undue delay, containing information on the content of the withdrawal declaration as well as the date and time of its receipt.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of Withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
IMPORTANT — EARLY EXPIRATION OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL:
For a contract on the supply of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal expires under § 356(6) no. 2 BGB if the provider has begun execution of the contract after the consumer has (a) expressly consented to execution beginning before the end of the withdrawal period, (b) confirmed awareness that the right of withdrawal expires upon such consent and commencement, and (c) been provided with a confirmation in text form pursuant to § 312f BGB.
By clicking the mandatory checkbox in the order process ("Yes, I expressly consent to the commencement of contract execution before the expiry of the withdrawal period. I acknowledge that my right of withdrawal expires upon commencement of execution."), the consumer provides this consent. The right of withdrawal therefore expires definitively upon generation and dispatch or deposit of the activation code.

A refund is possible for as long as the right of withdrawal exists.
The product offered here consists exclusively of digital content (a software activation code). You may withdraw from the contract within the period pursuant to § 6 as long as the right of withdrawal has not yet expired. Pursuant to § 356(6) no. 2 BGB it expires only once you have expressly consented to us beginning performance before the end of the withdrawal period, have confirmed your knowledge of the loss of the right of withdrawal, and we have begun providing the activation code. Only after this effective expiry are a withdrawal and a (partial) refund of the purchase price excluded.
Unaffected by this are your mandatory statutory warranty rights in the event of a defective product pursuant to §§ 327 et seq. BGB (see § 10 of these T&C) as well as any goodwill we may grant.
(1) Upon receipt of payment, the customer receives a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the premium features of "ViPDashPlayer Pro" within the tariff purchased and for its duration.
(2) The activation code may only be used within the device limit agreed at the time of purchase (5 simultaneously active devices under the current tariff). Management of linked devices takes place in the customer portal. Sharing, making publicly available, commercially renting or publishing the code is prohibited.
(3) Where there are concrete indications of circumvention of the device limit, of account sharing or of other misuse, the provider will first contact the customer stating the reasons and give them the opportunity to comment within 14 days. The activation code may be suspended provisionally pending clarification. If the violation is not confirmed, the suspension is lifted without undue delay. If a serious or repeated violation is confirmed, the provider may block the code permanently; in that case there is no claim to a refund.
(4) Decompilation, reverse engineering, removal of protection mechanisms or modification of the software is only permitted within the limits strictly allowed by law (§§ 69d, 69e UrhG).
(1) The customer is solely responsible for which content, playlists or streams they import into and play back through the software. The customer warrants that they hold the required rights or consents from the rights holders.
(2) Use of the software to play back copyright-protected content without the required permission of the rights holder is prohibited. Any third-party claims resulting therefrom shall be borne solely by the customer.
(3) The customer shall indemnify the provider against all third-party claims arising from unlawful use of the software by the customer, including reasonable costs of legal defense.
(4) The customer shall treat login credentials for the customer portal and the activation code as confidential and protect them from access by unauthorized third parties.
(1) Statutory warranty provisions apply. For defects of the software, the provider is liable towards consumers under §§ 327 et seq. BGB (consumer contract for digital products) or, in business dealings, under §§ 434 et seq. BGB.
(2) In case of a defect, the customer is initially entitled to supplementary performance (restoration of the contractual condition). If this fails or is refused, the customer may reduce the price or — in the case of not insignificant defects — withdraw from the contract.
(3) Insignificant deviations of the delivered software from the descriptions on the website do not constitute a defect. In particular, the provider is not liable for the permanent compatibility of specific streaming formats, playlists or third-party services of the customer, provided the software conforms to generally accepted standards (HLS, DASH, MP4, M3U).
(1) The provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the provisions of the German Product Liability Act, and within the scope of any guarantee assumed by the provider.
(2) In the case of slightly negligent breach of a duty whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on which the customer may regularly rely (cardinal duty), the liability of the provider is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract at the time of its conclusion.
(3) Otherwise, liability for slightly negligent damages is excluded.
(4) The provider is not liable for the continuous availability of the app on third-party platforms (e.g. Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore) or for damages arising from the use of incompatible streams by the customer.
(5) Any further liability of the provider is excluded. Detailed user-responsibility information is provided in the Disclaimer.
The collection and processing of personal data of the customer is governed exclusively by the Privacy Policy, which is accessible at any time via the corresponding link in the footer of the website and acknowledged by confirming the corresponding checkbox in the order process.
(1) Customer support is provided by e-mail at vipdashplayer@web.de as well as via the public Support Forum.
(2) No specific response time is guaranteed unless the selected tariff expressly specifies otherwise.
The European Commission provided an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform until 20 July 2025; this platform has been shut down following the repeal of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 by Regulation (EU) 2024/3228 and is no longer available.
The provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36(1)(1) VSBG).
(1) The version of these T&C valid at the time the contract is concluded applies to that contract.
(2) Contracts already concluded are not subsequently amended by unilateral declaration of the provider or by deemed consent (silence on the part of the customer).
(3) Amendments to these T&C apply exclusively to contracts concluded after they enter into force. The current version is available on the website at all times.
(1) During the relevant period within the meaning of § 327f(1) BGB, the provider supplies those updates which are necessary to maintain the conformity of the software; this includes security updates. The customer is informed about supplied updates within the app. There is, however, no claim to updates going beyond the maintenance of conformity — in particular none to new or extended features (upgrades), to any particular update frequency, or to further development of the software. The statutory rights of the customer under §§ 327 et seq. BGB remain unaffected.
(2) The provider may discontinue operation of the software, the website or individual services (e.g. activation server, customer portal, forum) in whole or in part. Licences already paid for remain usable until the end of their respective term. Should the provider permanently discontinue the activation server within 24 months of conclusion of the contract without providing an offline activation mechanism or a permanently working version, the provider shall refund the purchase price pro rata for the unusable period, based on a reference period of 24 months. Any further statutory claims of the customer remain unaffected.
(3) After the last successful server contact, the app remains usable without an internet connection for the remaining validity of a signed offline ticket (currently up to 12 months from the last contact). Should the activation server or online verification therefore be permanently shut down, already-activated devices continue to work for that remaining validity; beyond that, the provider will endeavour to provide an offline activation mechanism or a final working version of the app, but is not obliged to do so.
(4) Material changes (e.g. reduction of functionality) or complete discontinuation of the service will — where reasonable — be communicated to the customer in advance with appropriate notice by e-mail or on the website.
(5) Pre-release versions (beta). The provider may voluntarily offer customers holding a purchased licence pre-release versions of the software for testing. Participation is expressly voluntary, takes place at the customer's own request and must be confirmed separately within the app; it can be ended again at any time. Pre-release versions are not part of the owed scope of performance — what is owed is always the current stable release. There is no claim to the provision, availability, continuation or freedom from defects of pre-release versions.
Pre-release versions are unfinished and may contain errors. In particular, they may cause locally stored app data (including playlists, favourites, recording management, settings and profiles) to be damaged or lost, and may make it impossible to return to the previously used stable version without data loss, because the data has already been migrated to a newer format. The customer is expressly advised to create a backup before enabling pre-release versions; the app provides a backup function for this purpose. Defects in a pre-release version do not give rise to warranty claims regarding the purchased software.
The provider's statutory liability, in particular under § 11 of these Terms as well as for intent and gross negligence and under the German Product Liability Act, remains unaffected.
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence remain unaffected.
(2) If the customer is a merchant, legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship is the registered office of the provider.
(3) Should individual provisions of these T&C be wholly or partly invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the statutory regulation.
(4) Side agreements, changes or additions to this contract require text form to be effective. This also applies to any waiver of this text-form requirement.
