In-app purchases (end users)

App Store and Google Play

Subscriptions and Legend Packages are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Payment is made through the relevant store account. The payment terms of Apple or Google apply.

Partner subscriptions

Stripe payment processing

Partner subscriptions are processed through Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. Billing takes place monthly or annually depending on the selected package. Payment is due at the beginning of each billing period. If a payment fails, we reserve the right to temporarily suspend access to the Partner Portal.

5. Refunds

General principle: No right of return for digital content. All purchases of digital content, including subscriptions, Legend Packages and partner memberships, are expressly excluded from the right of withdrawal after the purchase has been completed and are non-refundable.

The following applies in detail:

Premium subscriptions and Legend Packages

No refunds

Subscriptions and one-time purchases within the app are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Refund requests for these purchases are governed exclusively by the policies of Apple or Google and must be submitted directly through the relevant store. SagaTrail is bound by their decision and cannot issue refunds for store purchases itself.

Partner subscriptions

No refund after activation

Partner subscriptions will not be refunded once payment has been made and the partner account has been activated, either for the current billing period or for periods already billed. By placing the order, you confirm that you waive your right of withdrawal to the extent permitted by applicable law. Cancellation is possible at any time and takes effect at the end of the paid billing period.

Exceptions to this principle are granted only in cases where SagaTrail is demonstrably and permanently unable to provide the promised service and appropriate subsequent performance is not possible. In this case, please contact info@sagatrail.ch.

6. Subscriptions and Cancellation

Subscriptions automatically renew for the applicable term (month or year) unless they are cancelled in due time.

  • Cancellation by end users (App Store / Google Play) — At any time through the account settings of the relevant store, no later than 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
  • Cancellation by partners — At any time through the Stripe customer portal in the Partner Portal or by email to info@sagatrail.ch, effective at the end of the paid billing period

After cancellation, access remains active until the end of the paid period. No pro rata refund will be issued.

7. Rights of Use and Intellectual Property

Upon purchasing a subscription or making a one-time purchase, SagaTrail grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the unlocked content for personal, non-commercial purposes.

All content in the app, including texts, legends, routes, audio narration, graphics and software code, is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced, distributed or used commercially without the express written consent of SagaTrail.

By registering, partner businesses grant SagaTrail the right to display their uploaded content (photos, descriptions, offers) within the app and to use it for marketing SagaTrail.
