Translated from German. Where anything differs, the German text counts: Deutsche Fassung

Terms of use

Version of 13 November 2026 (version 2026-11-13.2). This is the version you agree to in the app, each person for themselves. The German text, Nutzungsbedingungen, is the binding one; this is a translation.

1. Who provides the app

Erbengemeinschaft-Akte (in the app: Erbenakte) is provided by DGMD Software Solutions UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Luko - Dorfstr. 41, 06869 Coswig (Anhalt), Germany. Email: contact@dgmd-software.de. Full details in the Impressum.

These terms apply to the app on phones and in the browser.

2. What the app is, and is not

The app informs, calculates and documents. It helps a community of heirs keep the estate, the costs, the documents and the decisions in one place.

• No legal advice. The app does not assess your case. It does not say who owes whom, what you are entitled to, or which option is right. It states deadlines as general rules with what starts them; it computes no date for your case.
• No tax advice. The app computes no tax.
• No valuation and no mediation. The heirs enter values themselves, with their source. The app suggests no settlement and does not mediate.
• Arithmetic on your entries. Totals, shares and amounts follow from what the heirs enter. If the entries are incomplete or wrong, so is the result.

For an assessment of your case, ask a lawyer, a notary or a tax adviser.

3. Account, case and invitations

• A case is visible only to the heirs who joined it. With the “case file with evidence”, an heir can give a person the heirs bring in (such as a lawyer or a notary) read access, once every heir has agreed to this version. Every heir sees each read access, any heir can withdraw it, and it lapses after 90 days.
• Each person agrees for themselves. Whoever opens a case does not agree for the others. Invited heirs see nothing of the case until they have agreed to these terms themselves.
• All heirs in a case see and may do the same. What one person enters, the others see, with their name and the time.
• Enter only what you may enter. Much of it is about other people: the deceased and the other heirs. Handle it with the care you expect from the others.
• Keep your sign-in details to yourself.

4. What it costs

• The estate plan, the inventory, the costs ledger and some documents are free.
• The Akte costs €39.99 once, the Akte with evidence €129.99 once (or €89.99 as an upgrade of the Akte). The price shown by the store at purchase applies. One purchase is for one case and every heir in it, for 24 months from the purchase of the Akte; the upgrade does not extend that time. After that the case stays readable and exportable as a PDF; nothing is deleted because the time ran out. There is no subscription.
• Whoever buys is the contracting party of the purchase. The other heirs in the case use what it unlocked without a purchase of their own and at no cost.
• Payment is through the App Store or Google Play. Their terms apply to payment, invoice and refunds; refunds are requested there.
• Right of withdrawal: as a consumer you have the statutory right of withdrawal. For digital content it ends when the unlocking begins, with your express consent, before the withdrawal period is over and you confirm that you know this. The store handles the purchase and that confirmation.

5. Availability

We run the app with care but cannot promise it is always reachable without interruption. Keep important documents outside the app as well; you can export the case as a PDF at any time.

6. Liability

We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the Product Liability Act.

For simple negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential duty, a duty whose fulfilment makes using the app possible and on which you may rely. Liability is then limited to the damage typically foreseeable when the contract was made.

The app calculates correctly with what is entered; that is our essential duty. The heirs who make the entries are responsible for their being right.

7. Your data

The contents of a case belong to the heirs. We process them only to run the app. We do not sell them, show no advertising and pass no data to partners; the app sets no cookies for advertising or analytics. No text- or image-recognition service reads receipts or bank statements. The contents of cases and the documents are stored with Google Cloud in data centres in the European Union. Sign-in runs through Google Identity Platform. If the app crashes, it sends a crash report to Google (Firebase Crashlytics), but only if you switched that on under “Account”; the report holds no name, no e-mail address and no contents of cases.

8. Ending use

You may stop using the app at any time. You delete your account in the app under “Account” → “Delete account”, or you write to contact@dgmd-software.de. Cases nobody but you is in are then deleted with all entries and documents. In a shared case your share and what you entered stay for the other heirs, without your name and e-mail address. A copy of your data comes from “Account” → “Export my data”. After a serious breach of these terms we may block access.

9. Changes

If these terms change, they get a new version and you are asked. Without your agreement the previous terms continue to apply to you.

10. Law

German law applies. If you are a consumer, the mandatory protective rules of the state you live in remain unaffected. We do not take part in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.
