ZenZen offers a range of Products as well as combinations of these (bundles) for managing your GDM. For the sake of simplicity, all current and future modules, services, and bundles (including new versions, updates, and other improvements) that ZenZen provides in any way, are subsequently referred to jointly as “Products” or individually as a “Product”. Each person who acquires and uses one or more of our Products is referred to jointly as “Users” or individually as “User”.

Our user manuals (accessible via the ZenZen App or via our website) and the relevant special provisions (see section 8) emphasize any specific requirements for the individual Products.
1.2 Scope of our T&Cs
1.2.1 We exclusively offer all of our Products on the basis of the current version of these T&Cs. If additional or varying terms and conditions apply to you based on your residence, you can find information on those in section 10. ZenZen explicitly opposes contradictory business or other usage terms.
1.2.2 Please note that before using our Products for the first time you must agree to all of the mandatory consents and agreements referred to. The registration and use of our Products is prohibited without your consent to our T&Cs.
1.2.3 We explicitly reserve the right to make future changes and objectively justified modifications to our T&Cs. Changes may be necessary to meet statutory requirements, correspond to technical or economic needs of ZenZen, or meet the interests of our Users. Such changes are possible at any time and will be published in an appropriate manner before they take effect, giving each User the opportunity to oppose them in writing within a month of their publication. If they are not opposed, the ongoing use of our Products is subject to the relevant new T&Cs. In case of significant changes, we will ask you to re-consent to the new T&Cs.
1.3 Third-party suppliers
1.3.1 You will find our Products in the app stores. In general, the business terms of the relevant platform providers (over which we have no influence) apply there; these are not part of our T&Cs nor our contractual relationship with you as the User of our Products. This also applies to the business terms and conditions of your mobile device or the ZenZen Bundle offered by third parties.

These include cooperation partners that supply us or our Users directly with certain Products (e.g. blood glucose meters, test strips, or insulin pens) as well as insurance companies who may pay the cost of our Products for you. In these cases, we explicitly emphasize the applicable business terms of a third-party supplier or you must accept such business terms anyway before you can acquire one of our Products via a third-party supplier.

Our website has a login area, in particular to the ZenZen Bundle.
Voucher codes for our Products (e.g. as part of the ZenZen Bundle)can be redeemed on our website or in the app.

If you experience problems with downloading or payment, please contact support@zenzen.me any time.
3.1.3 The current fees are displayed in the ZenZen App or the app stores and are due for payment in advance. If payment is not processed directly via the app store, we can send you invoices and payment reminders by email. In the event of culpable, late, or incomplete payment, we are entitled to block your access to our Products. Your usage fee payment obligation remains unaffected by this.
3.1.4 We explicitly reserve the right to restrict free Products at any time, modify them, stop them completely, or charge a fee for them. No legal right for the future can be derived from the free use of individual Products or parts thereof for a particular period.

3.2.3 The activation is confirmed to you directly after registration by a separate email. We reserve the right to reject individual Users or their offer to conclude a contract without stating a reason. In such a case any payments already made will be reimbursed and User data provided deleted immediately.

3.2.7 The User must protect the registration data from unauthorized access by third parties, abuse, or use with fraudulent intent.

We have the right to block the unique ID of any User if it is used for wrongful or fraudulent intentions.
