Legal Notice

Liability for links
Our pages and the app may contain links to third-party websites whose content we have no influence over. The respective provider is always responsible for that content. For our own links, no infringements were apparent at the time the links were set; if we become aware of an infringement, we will remove the link in question without delay.
We do not check links that users store in Zquads, chats or their profile — including Instagram and Discord profiles — in advance; if we become aware of illegal content, we will remove it without delay.
App stores
The app is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The terms of Apple and Google respectively apply in addition to distribution via those platforms. Your contracting party for the use of Zquady itself is the provider named above.
