Terms of Service

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

GKM Interactive UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Wasserstraße 5, 37186 Moringen, Germany

Registered at Amtsgericht Göttingen, HRB 207239
Email: [email protected]

These terms govern your use of the following apps, wherever the stores make them available, and of the website at mc-tools.app.

2. Eligibility and age

Our apps are made for a mixed audience, and children are part of it. If you are a minor, a parent or guardian needs to read these terms and accept them for you, and stays responsible for how you use the apps. Under §§ 104 to 113 of the German Civil Code, a minor generally needs a parent's or guardian's consent to enter into an agreement, and that includes the purchase in section 6. If you are under 18, ask them first.

The age at which you can consent to your data being used for advertising is a different question, and it is answered in section 9 of our Privacy Policy.

3. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using one of the apps, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the apps. Uninstalling is always available and is the simplest way to end this agreement.

4. License and feedback

Subject to your compliance with these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use our apps for your personal, non-commercial use on devices you own or control.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, or distribute the apps
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the apps
• Remove any copyright or proprietary notices
• Use the apps for any unlawful purpose
• Transfer your license to any third party

That list does not take away the rights German copyright law gives you and that cannot be signed away: §§ 69d and 69e of the Urheberrechtsgesetz let you do what is necessary to use the software as intended, make a backup, and decompile where that is the only way to achieve interoperability. § 69g(2) makes any clause to the contrary void, and this one is not meant to be one.

If you send us feedback, a suggestion, or a bug report, you give us permission to use it without owing you anything for it. You are never obliged to send us anything.

5. Free, ad-funded, and the ad-free unlock

Every app is free to download and free to use. Advertising is what funds them, and by using the apps you accept that they show ads. Downloading a file plays a rewarded video first, unless you own the unlock below. You start that video yourself and you can close it — closing it means no download. Where no ad is available the app currently lets the download through, which is how it behaves today rather than a promise.

We may change ad formats, how often ads appear, and which providers serve them. We do not control what a third-party ad says or shows, and an ad is not a recommendation by us.

Every app also offers a one-time purchase. It removes the advertising, it removes the video before a download, and it unlocks the catalog items marked premium. It is a single payment, not a subscription, and nothing renews. What it does not do is switch the app off from everything else: crash reporting, remote configuration, and the record of your purchase all continue, because the app cannot work without them. Our Privacy Policy sets out how advertising and those other purposes handle your data.

Where an app currently shows no advertising, the purchase only unlocks the premium catalog items there. Which apps those are can change.

6. Purchases, refunds, and withdrawal

Apple and Google sell you the unlock, not us. Depending on the store you bought from, your contract of sale is with Apple Distribution International Ltd. or with Google Commerce Limited, they take the payment, they issue the receipt, and their terms and refund policies govern that sale. We never see your payment method.

Because the unlock is digital content that works the moment you buy it, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal ends once performance has begun with your express consent and your acknowledgement that the right lapses. The stores obtain that consent and run the withdrawal and refund process. Ask them first — and if you cannot get anywhere, write to us at the address in section 20 and we will help you take it up with them.

Your statutory rights against us for digital content under §§ 327 ff. of the German Civil Code are unaffected by any of this.

7. Third-party content and reporting

The apps present shaders, mods, texture packs, maps, and similar content made by third parties. We curate what appears, but we did not create it. You receive only the rights the creator granted, you must respect the creator's license and the Minecraft End User Licence Agreement, and you decide what to install.

What we owe you here is careful curation, not an examination of every file. We do not guarantee that an item is compatible with your version of the game, that it is free of defects or harmful components, or that it will not affect your worlds or saved games. Installing third-party content is your decision and your risk. Back up anything you care about first — worlds are easy to lose and impossible for us to restore. Nothing in this paragraph limits section 14 or your statutory rights.

We may remove or restrict any item at any time, including content that is paid, ripped from the Minecraft Marketplace, or otherwise distributed without the rights holder's permission.

If you believe something in one of our apps infringes your rights, is unlawful, or is unsuitable for the app's audience, tell us. Send an email to the address in section 20 with the app and the exact item, what is wrong with it, your name and how to reach you, and a statement that your report is made in good faith and is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

We review every report and tell you the outcome. Where a report is justified we remove or restrict the content, and we can decline to include further work from anyone who repeatedly submits infringing material. If we remove something of yours and you think we got it wrong, reply to our notice and we will look again. Removing an item is not an admission that anything was unlawful — we would rather take something down and discuss it than leave it up while we do.

8. Acceptable use

When using the apps, you agree not to:

• use them for anything unlawful
• interfere with the apps or the servers behind them
• access them by automated means, in bulk, or through anything other than the apps themselves
• work around technical restrictions or security measures
• use them to distribute malware or infringing material
• claim an affiliation with us that does not exist

9. Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft

NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

Our apps are made by GKM Interactive UG (haftungsbeschränkt), independently of Mojang Studios and Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Synergies AB. We use the word only to describe what our apps are for. All other trademarks belong to their respective owners.

10. Additional terms for the Apple App Store

These terms apply in addition to everything above when you get one of our apps from the Apple App Store.

1. This agreement is between you and us only. It is not with Apple Inc., and Apple is not responsible for the apps or their content.
2. Your license covers use on any Apple-branded product you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, referred to below as the App Store Usage Rules.
3. We alone are responsible for maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the apps.
4. If an app fails to conform to a warranty we have given, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price you paid for it — for a free download, that price is zero. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind for the apps.
5. We, not Apple, are responsible for any claim you or a third party makes about an app — including product liability claims, any claim that an app does not meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar law.
6. We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any claim that an app or your use of it infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
7. You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when you use the apps.
9. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. When you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you.
10. Our contact details for any question, complaint, or claim about an app are in section 20.

11. Additional terms for Google Play

When you get one of our apps from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service apply to that download in addition to these terms. We provide the apps, not Google. Any question, complaint, or claim about an app comes to us.

12. Availability and changes to the apps

We may add features, change them, or remove them, and we may stop offering an app entirely. We do not promise that the apps or their catalogs will always be available or uninterrupted. Where we discontinue an app we will say so in the app or on this website where that is reasonably possible. Being free does not put an app outside the digital-product rules: under § 327(3) of the German Civil Code they also cover an agreement in which you provide personal data rather than money. So § 327r of that code governs what we may change about an app and when you may end the agreement over it, whether or not you bought the unlock in section 6.

13. Warranties and your statutory rights

We provide the apps with reasonable care and skill. Beyond that, and as far as the law allows, we do not warrant that the apps will be uninterrupted or free of errors or harmful components, and we give no warranty at all for third-party content.

None of this limits your statutory rights as a consumer. In particular, the rules on digital products in §§ 327 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB) apply to you, and our liability for defects follows the statutory position. Section 14 governs liability, and nothing in this section widens what that section allows.

Updates work both ways. We provide the updates the law requires and tell you about them. If you do not install an update we made available, and a defect would have been avoided by installing it, we are not liable for that defect — § 327f(2) BGB, provided we told you the update was available and what happens if you skip it.

14. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (the German Product Liability Act), where we have fraudulently concealed a defect, and where we have given an express guarantee.

Where we breach a material contractual obligation through simple negligence, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for an agreement of this kind. A material contractual obligation is one whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the agreement possible in the first place, and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely.

Any liability beyond that is excluded.

Where we are liable for lost data, that liability is limited to the effort it would have taken to restore the data had you backed it up regularly and in a way appropriate to the risk.

These limits also apply to claims against our legal representatives, our employees and anyone else we use to perform this agreement. They cannot be worse off than we are for the same conduct.

None of this shifts the burden of proof to your disadvantage, and none of it affects your statutory rights.

15. Termination

You can end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the apps.

We may end it for good cause. Good cause includes a serious or repeated breach of section 8, an attempt to work around the advertising or the paywall, and any use that exposes us to a legal claim. Where the breach can be cured we will normally ask you to stop first, unless asking is plainly pointless or the breach is serious enough that waiting is unreasonable — in which case we may block access immediately and explain afterwards.

We may also stop offering an app as described in section 12. Where we end your access for a reason that is not attributable to you, we will give reasonable notice where that is possible. When the agreement ends, your license to use the apps ends with it. Ending it does not refund an unlock you bought, unless the law says otherwise.

16. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms where the law changes, where a court or an authority requires it, where we add or alter a feature, or where a provider we depend on changes its own terms. Where a change is material, we will give at least 30 days' notice in the apps or on this page before it takes effect, and we will say what is changing. If you keep using the apps after that, the new terms apply. If you do not want them, stop using the apps before the change takes effect. We will not use this section to change what you already paid for.

17. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by provisions that cannot be derogated from under the law of the country where you have your habitual residence (Art. 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation).

If you are a merchant, a legal person under public law, or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is our registered seat. We may also sue you at your own general place of jurisdiction. The same applies if you have no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, or if you move your domicile or habitual residence out of Germany after accepting these terms, or if your domicile is unknown when proceedings are brought.

If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings where you live, and we will bring any proceedings against you there.

18. Consumer dispute resolution

The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform was shut down on 20 July 2025, and the obligation to link to it ended with it. There is no platform to point you to.

Under § 36 VSBG, the German Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz: we are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

19. General

• Severability. If a provision turns out to be invalid, the rest stays in force, and the invalid provision is replaced by the statutory position.
• Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the apps.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. We may assign individual claims freely. If we transfer this whole agreement to a company that takes over the apps, we will tell you before it takes effect, and you may end the agreement within 30 days of that notice. You may not transfer your side.
• Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a failure caused by something outside our reasonable control.
• Language. These terms are written in English and published in German. If the two differ, the English text governs, except where the law of the country you live in says otherwise.
