Terms & Conditions

1. Operator and scope

These terms govern use of the Darukai website and a free Darukai account. Additional terms for a separately ordered paid service will be provided before that order. Registering an account does not order a paid membership.

2. Your free account

Registration requires a username, a valid email address and a password. A verification code confirms access to your email address. Your account is created after successful verification. Keep your details current and your credentials secure. Contact us at the email address above if you suspect someone has accessed your account without permission.

A free account provides the account features offered at the time, such as selecting a Darukai avatar and managing your watchlist. It does not grant access to paid content. Videos published publicly on YouTube may remain available there independently. Minors need their legal representative’s consent where the law requires it.

3. Paid offers

A paid membership requires a separate order that explicitly involves payment. The services, total price, currency, billing interval and contract terms shown before ordering determine that purchase. Registering or using a free account does not automatically convert it into a paid subscription.

References to upcoming content or benefits do not mean they are already included in an offer. Statutory information requirements, withdrawal and cancellation rights, and remedies for defects remain unaffected. Deleting an account is separate from cancelling a paid contract.

4. Permitted use

You may use the website and its features for their intended purpose. You must not access another person’s account without authorization, bypass access restrictions, distribute malicious software or deliberately interfere with the service or other users.

If there is concrete evidence of such misuse, we may restrict the affected access to the extent necessary and proportionate. Where possible, we will explain the reason and give you an opportunity to resolve the issue. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

5. Content and rights

Films, images, logos, text and other content may be protected by copyright or other rights. Website or account access does not transfer ownership or grant permission to redistribute content, screen it publicly or exploit it commercially. Uses permitted by law and rights expressly granted to you remain unaffected.

The supplied avatars are intended for use within Darukai’s account features. Linked websites and platforms are operated by their respective providers and are subject to those providers’ terms.

6. Operation and changes

Maintenance, security measures and technical faults may temporarily affect availability. We aim to keep interruptions limited. This does not exclude statutory remedies, including those relating to separately purchased digital services.

We may develop the website further. Changes to these terms apply to existing contractual relationships only where validly agreed or supported by a legal basis. Publishing a change alone does not count as your agreement to it.

7. Closing your account

You may request closure of your free account at any time through your account settings or by emailing us. Separate paid contracts must be cancelled independently. See the Privacy Policy for information about the processing and deletion of personal data.

8. Statutory rights and contact

Statutory liability and mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. In particular, these terms do not limit claims relating to death or personal injury, intentional or grossly negligent conduct, or mandatory product liability.

German law applies. Consumers retain the protection of mandatory laws in their country of habitual residence where applicable law does not allow those protections to be excluded by a choice of law. Statutory jurisdiction rules remain unaffected.
