As of August 2026. These terms apply to all reservations, subscriptions, and purchases made via holodrone.xyz.
This is a courtesy translation. The German version of this page is the legally binding version; in case of any discrepancy, the German text prevails.
The provider is Newton, owner Aaron Kirchhoff, Ackers. 81, 13355 Berlin, Germany ("provider", "we"). These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to all contracts for reservations, subscriptions and purchases of the Holodrone OII product and related services concluded via the website holodrone.xyz between the provider and the customer. Deviating terms of the customer will not be recognized unless the provider has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession (§ 13 BGB). An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their trade, business or profession (§ 14 BGB).
The presentation of products on the website does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation to submit an offer. By submitting the reservation or order form and completing the payment process, the customer submits a binding offer. The contract is concluded when the provider confirms the reservation or order in text form (e.g. by email) or provides the service. An automatic acknowledgment of receipt does not yet constitute acceptance unless it expressly states acceptance.
The language of the contract is German. The contract text is stored by the provider and sent to the customer together with these Terms in text form.
A reservation secures the customer a place in the Holodrone OII production batch ("Batch OII") as well as the early-member benefits ("OII Vanguard") indicated during the ordering process. The reservation does not create any entitlement to a specific delivery date unless a specific date has been bindingly agreed. The stated date of October 15, 2026 is a planned launch/delivery date.
Reservations are personal and non-transferable without the provider's consent. The provider may decline reservations for good cause, in particular in the event of exhausted capacity, obviously incorrect information, or suspected abuse.
All prices are final prices in euros or the currency indicated during the ordering process. Any shipping, customs or import costs will be stated separately during the ordering process. Indicated early-member benefits (e.g. "up to 48%") apply exclusively to the services and periods specifically identified during the ordering process.
Payment is made via the payment service providers offered during the ordering process. The terms of the respective provider additionally apply to their use. For subscriptions, the amount is due in advance for the selected interval; the subscription automatically renews for the selected interval unless cancelled by the end of the current period.
Subscriptions may be cancelled by the customer at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. Reservations may be cancelled up until the start of delivery; reservation amounts already paid will be refunded via the payment method used, provided that no individually manufactured service has already been rendered.
Cancellation and termination require no particular form and may be made in particular by email to info@holodrone.xyz or via the contact form on this website.
Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details, deadlines, and the model withdrawal form can be found in the withdrawal instructions, which form part of these Terms.
Delivery is made to the address specified by the customer. Planned dates are non-binding unless expressly designated as binding. If delivery is delayed for reasons beyond the provider's control (in particular force majeure, supply chain disruptions, official measures), the delivery period is extended reasonably; the customer will be informed. For consumers, the risk of accidental loss passes only upon handover of the goods.
Statutory warranty provisions apply (§§ 434 et seq. BGB). For consumers, the limitation period for defect claims on new items is two years from delivery. For entrepreneurs, the limitation period is one year from delivery; statutory exceptions remain unaffected.
The provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, in the event of an assumed guarantee, and under the Product Liability Act. In the event of slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), the provider's liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Liability is otherwise excluded.
The customer is responsible for the lawful operation of the device. This includes in particular compliance with applicable aviation regulations (including the EU Drone Regulation and LuftVO), data protection regulations, and the right to one's own image (§§ 22 et seq. KunstUrhG). The customer must ensure that recordings of third parties are made only with the necessary legal basis or consent. The provider does not provide legal advice for specific use cases.
Software and service components are made available to the customer for their own use for the duration of the contract (simple, non-transferable right of use). Recordings and content created by the customer remain with the customer. The provider does not acquire any rights to this content unless the customer separately and expressly consents.
German law applies. For consumers who habitually reside in the EU, mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state of residence remain unaffected. Should individual provisions of these Terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
The provider may amend these Terms with effect for the future; existing customers will be informed of changes in text form and may object to or terminate the contract in the event of material changes.
