2. Definitions
In addition to the definitions already mentioned above, the following definitions are used in these Terms:

• “Account”: a registered profile created by a User to access or use the App.
• “Additional Batches”: any later Diamond purchase windows Zooma may introduce via a Program Notice; not part of Batches 1–5 unless expressly stated.
• “Charities”: the non-profit organisations listed in the App to which Zooma allocates a portion of Diamond purchases. The list of Charities may change from time to time at Zooma’s discretion.

• “Early Supporter Batches”: the initial five purchase windows for Diamonds (Batches 1–5).
• “Exploration Phase”: Blybahn’s assessment after sale of Batches 1–3 of whether a compliant community co-ownership program is feasible, including regulatory approvals.
• “Likes to Give”: limited appreciation actions that Users can earn through activity in the App and use to express appreciation for content. Likes may expire if unused.
• “Perks”: non-cash benefits granted to early supporters, which may include a profile badge, roadmap access, voting rights on features, early beta access, invitations to community events, or priority in limited merchandise drops.
• “Program Notice”: an official communication issued by Zooma, provided in-App and/or via Blybahn’s website, announcing changes to batches, perks or eligibility rules. A Program Notice takes effect prospectively and governs the terms of the relevant purchases or participation.

• “User Content”: any text, photos, videos or other material uploaded, posted or shared by a User.

3. Eligibility
To use the App, you must be at least 13 years old. If you are not yet an adult according to the laws of your country, your parent or legal guardian must read these Terms on your behalf. If you're a parent or legal guardian, and you allow your child (who meets the minimum age for your country) to use the App, then these Terms also apply to you, and you're responsible for your child's activity on the App.

4. Account Registration
To use Blybahn, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to update it as needed. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information, password and other security codes to prevent unauthorized access to your account. You are responsible for any activity that occurs under your account. We will never ask you to share your password or other personal security code with us or any third party.

5. User Content
You retain all ownership rights in the content you post (e.g., text, photos, videos). By posting content, you grant Zooma a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, display, and distribute your content solely for the operation, promotion, and improvement of the App. You must adhere to our acceptable use policy at all times when posting content.

6. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with the law. More specifically, you agree not to:      

• Post, live stream or otherwise distribute unlawful, abusive, hateful, or misleading content;
• Infringe on the privacy or intellectual property rights of any third party;
• Interfere with or disrupt the App or its security;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App or user data.

7. Likes, diamonds, Donations, Perks and Early Supporter Program

     7.1 Likes to Give.
By being active in the App, users receive a limited amount of “Likes to Give” that can be used to express appreciation for content. The amount available may vary depending on user activity and other in-App mechanics. Likes to Give may expire if unused, and they confer no monetary value, ownership, profit rights or legal claims.

     7.2 Diamonds (in-App purchases).
Diamonds are virtual consumable items purchasable in unlimited quantities and usable only within the App to award extra appreciation (“Diamonds to Give”). Diamonds have no cash value, are non-refundable and non-redeemable for money or monetary value, are not transferable or resellable outside permitted in-App features, and confer no ownership, profit rights or legal claims. Diamonds may be purchased within or outside batch windows. 

Diamonds purchased outside any batch remain fully usable within the App but do not provide Early Supporter status or count toward any batch-specific eligibility or allocations unless expressly designated by Zooma in a Program Notice. 

If you are within the European Economic Area (EEA) and purchase Diamonds to Give, you have a legal right to withdraw from the relevant agreement with us within 14 days of purchase. Instructions on how to exercise this right and a model form that you can use are set out at the end of these Terms in Annex 1. If you request immediate access to your Diamonds to Give, you will be asked to acknowledge that you understand that you will lose any applicable statutory right to withdraw from this contract and we will send you confirmation of your request on a durable medium (e.g. an email) and you will lose any right to a refund once you gain access to the Diamonds to Give. [De Clercq2] 

If you purchase Diamonds to Give through a third party provider (e.g. an app store), that third party provider will process your payment method. If you have questions about payments through your third party provider, please contact that third party provider directly.  These Terms constitute an agreement between you and Zooma, and not between you and any third party provider. Please review your third party provider’s terms. If you purchase Diamonds to Give through a third party provider, the third party provider will usually be responsible for payment, billing and cancellation rights, so in the event of any inconsistency between those payment, billing and cancellation provisions in the third party provider terms and these Terms, the provisions in the relevant third party provider terms will apply.

     7.3 Donations (10% gross).
(a) Gross percentage. Zooma commits to allocate 10% of the gross purchase amount paid by the user for Diamonds to one or more charities listed in the App. If you purchase Diamonds to Give through a third party provider (e.g. in an app store), gross purchase amount refers to the full amount paid by the user to the third party provider, i.e. including VAT and before deduction of any platform fees or other charges retained by Apple, Google or similar third party providers. Example: on a €100 Diamond purchase, €10 is allocated to one or more charities listed in the App. This commitment applies insofar as donations are accepted by the Charities. If donations are not accepted, for whatever reason, Zooma may, at its sole discretion, make a donation to another charity (even if not listed in the App) or not make a donation at all.[De Clercq4] 

(b) Donor & receipts. The donor is Zooma, not the user. Users do not receive donation receipts for tax purposes.

(c) Refunds/chargebacks. If a purchase is refunded or reversed (incl. chargebacks, fraud or error), the related donation allocation will also be reversed or adjusted.

(d) Timing. Donations are aggregated and transferred at least once per calendar year (Zooma may remit more frequently, e.g., quarterly, subject to Zooma’s sole discretion).

(e) Flexibility. Zooma may select, add or remove Charities; adjust for refunds, fraud, or compliance holds; and modify or end the donations program where reasonably necessary. For example, this may be required due to changes in law or regulation, changes in app store fees or taxes, financial sustainability of the App, or comparable significant circumstances. The percentage of the gross purchase amount allocated to Charities may be adjusted upward or downward at the sole discretion of Zooma. Any changes to this percentage will be expressly designated by Zooma in a Program Notice and will take effect upon publication or as indicated otherwise in the relevant Program Notice.

    7.4 Early Supporter Program (Perks).
Purchasing Diamonds in Early Supporter Batches (Batches 1–5) grants users additional non-cash benefits (“Perks”). Examples of Perks currently offered include:

• an exclusive profile badge,
• access to Blybahn’s product roadmap,
• the ability to vote on upcoming features,
• early access to beta versions,
• invitations to community events, and
• priority in limited merchandise drops.

Perks are non-cash benefits, subject to availability, and may vary by region, age or platform policy. Zooma may substitute substantially equivalent Perks or add new Perks over time. Perks remain guaranteed regardless of any future co-ownership outcome.

Diamonds purchased after Batch 5 (or outside any batch) remain fully usable within the App but do not provide Early Supporter status or Perks, unless Zooma expressly introduces new perks for later purchases via a Program Notice.

    7.5 Future Community Co-Ownership (intention only).
Blybahn’s long-term vision includes exploring a compliant community co-ownership program. After Batches 1–3 have been sold, Zooma intends to enter the Exploration Phase to assess financial, technical and legal feasibility, including approvals required by relevant regulators.

(a) Eligibility window (initial). Only users who have made Diamond purchases within Batches 1–5 may be considered for any future participation. After Batch 5 has been sold out, no new participants will be considered unless expressly designated by Zooma in a Program Notice.

(b) Additional Batches. Zooma may, at any time and in its sole discretion, introduce Additional Batches by issuing a Program Notice. For each Additional Batch, Zooma may designate whether, and to what extent, users who make purchases in that batch will be considered for any future community co-ownership participation (e.g., eligible, partially eligible, capped, pro-rata or in a separate allocation pool). Any such designation will be prospective and remains subject to the feasibility assessment and Zooma’s discretion described in this Section.

(c) Purchases outside batches. Diamonds purchased outside any batch window do not, by default, provide Early Supporter status or count toward any possible future participation program. Zooma may, via a Program Notice, designate specific non-batch purchases or periods as eligible (in whole or in part), in which case the applicable eligibility parameters will be stated in that notice. Any such designation will be prospective and remains subject to the feasibility assessment and Zooma’s discretion described in this Section.

(d) Indicative example (Terms only). To illustrate one possible approach, the following is provided as an illustrative example only:

• Batch 1: 10 million Diamonds → 5% ownership
• Batch 2: 20 million Diamonds → 4% ownership
• Batch 3: 30 million Diamonds → 3% ownership
• Batch 4: 40 million Diamonds → 2% ownership
• Batch 5: 50 million Diamonds → 1% ownership
• Total: 150 million Diamonds → 15% ownership

This example is indicative only, creates no legal entitlement, and may be changed, replaced or abandoned entirely at Zooma’s discretion—even if a compliant structure proves feasible.

(e) No offer of securities. Buying Diamonds does not grant ownership, equity, profit rights or legal claims today. Nothing in the App or these Terms is an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy, securities, nor investment advice.

(f) Zooma’s discretion. Even if feasibility and approvals are obtained, Zooma may, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, decide not to proceed with the community co-ownership program.

    7.6 Informational indicators.
The App may display informational indicators (e.g., Diamonds purchased in Batches 1–5; a user’s share of Diamonds sold in Batches 1–5; batch progress). Such indicators are informational only and do not represent ownership, equity, profit share or any financial return.

    7.7 Fraud, abuse and suspension.
Zooma may review and reverse Diamonds, Perks, indicators or donation allocations in cases of suspected or confirmed fraud, abuse, chargebacks or policy violations, and may suspend or terminate accounts consistent with these Terms.

8. Notice and Action
You can report illegal content on the App by contacting us using the contact details provided in these Terms or through the relevant features in the App. When reporting illegal content, please ensure that your report is sufficiently substantiated and that you specifically indicate the location of the illegal content.

We may remove or restrict content, or terminate or restrict your access to the App, if we have objective reasons to reasonably believe your use violates these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if the content is reasonably harmful to us or other users. If you believe we have made a mistake in removing content, or suspending or terminating your account, you may appeal the decision. We will then re-evaluate our decision and make a new decision.

You indemnify us against any claim by a third party based on the allegation that content posted or distributed by you infringes any right of that third party, including privacy rights and intellectual property rights.

9. Ownership & Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in the App, including the software, graphical user interface and data files (except for User Content), are owned exclusively by us or third-party licensors. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the App without prior written permission. 

10. Termination
You may terminate your relationship with us at any time by simply closing your account and ceasing to use the App. However, some of your content may still be available on the App after you delete your account, depending on your App settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or act unlawfully.

11. Disclaimer
If you are resident in the EEA, national consumer laws may provide you with a legal guarantee that the App will be in legal conformity at the time of supply and during the life of our contract with you. Under this legal guarantee, we may be liable for any lack of conformity of the App and you may have a right under your local laws to: (a) have the App brought back into conformity; (b) a proportionate refund; or (c) terminate the contract.

We will endeavour to provide the App in a professional and careful manner and in full conformity with applicable consumer laws. However, we do not warrant that the App will be error-free or available without interruption. We will adopt appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect data center facilities, servers, network equipment, storage media and software systems under our control that are used to provide the App. However, we do not warrant that information security will be effective in all circumstances.

12. Limitation of Liability
We are not liable for: (i) damage that was not reasonably foreseeable when you agreed to these Terms; (ii) loss or corruption of data; or (iii) service interruptions caused by third-party providers. Our total liability for damages, on whatever legal basis, is limited per event to EUR 100.--. The above exclusion and limitation of liability does not apply in cases where exclusion or limitation of liability is not permitted by law. In such cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Consumer Rights
As a consumer in the EU, you have specific rights under applicable law. These Terms do not override any mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence.

14. Privacy
To provide the App, we need to collect and use information about you. Our Privacy Statement explains how we collect, use and share information.

15. Assignment
You may not assign your rights or obligations under this agreement without our consent. Our rights and obligations may be assigned to others without restriction. For example, this may happen if our ownership changes (such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets) or by operation of law. If we do this, this will not affect your rights as a consumer. And if you are not satisfied, you always have the right to terminate this agreement and stop using the App at any time.

16. Changes to These Terms
Unless supplemented by additional terms or policies, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between Zooma and you governing your access to or use of the App. We may update these Terms occasionally. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes and give you an opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you then continue to use the App, you will be bound by the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may delete your account. 

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam, unless another court or body is mandated by consumer law in your country. As a consumer, you generally have the right to refer the matter to a court of law where you reside. You may also choose to make a complaint in the first instance to the relevant consumer protection agency in your country.
 

Annex 1: Withdrawal Rights 

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days, without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of conclusion of the contract. 

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform Zooma of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You may use the below model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory. 

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired. 

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery if applicable, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 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. 

If you requested immediate access to digital content, waived your right of withdrawal and we have sent you a confirmation, you do not have a right to withdraw.

Model Withdrawal Form

(Complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the agreement. We recommend that if you made your purchase with a third party other than Zooma (such as an app store), you should submit this form with relevant information to that third party in order to withdraw from the agreement.)
