Terms of service
Last updated September 2026. This is placeholder text written by the team, not yet reviewed by a lawyer. It states our real intent but is not final legal language.
Sceniq is in development
Sceniq is still being built and is not live yet. Once development is finished, Sceniq will be operated by a different company, and these pages will name it before it takes over.
Who we are
Sceniq (sceniq.earth) is in development and not live yet. Saftladen GmbH develops the platform and provides this website during development. These terms describe the service as it will work once it is live.
Once development is finished, a different company will operate Sceniq. That company will be the merchant of record for every purchase made on the platform: your contract for a purchase will be with it, and its name will appear on your payment statement. These terms will name it before it takes over.
What the service is
Sceniq sells digital travel guides created by independent creators. A guide is a collection of spots, notes, photos and maps that you view in your browser through your Sceniq account. Guides are digital content; nothing physical is shipped.
Purchases and access
A guide is a one-time purchase. After payment, access is attached to the email address you used at checkout, and you finish setting up your account to open it. Your access is personal and non-transferable: it is for you, not for redistribution, resale or public posting.
Prices are shown at checkout in the listed currency. Applicable taxes are handled through our payment provider, Stripe.
Creators are independent
Creators publish their own guides and are responsible for the content they write. We review guides before they appear on the store, but conditions outdoors change: trails close, rules change, weather turns. Use your own judgment in the field; a guide is not a safety device.
Acceptable use
Do not share purchased content outside your household, scrape the platform, misrepresent yourself at checkout, or attempt to access content you have not bought. We can suspend accounts that do.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the affected purchase. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for intent or gross negligence. Statutory consumer rights remain untouched.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; material changes will be announced on this page with a new date. Questions go to support@sceniq.earth.
