Terms of use

This English text is provided for convenience; the German Nutzungsbedingungen is the legally binding version.

1. Scope

These terms govern use of the NX1 browser extension and web app (together “the service”), provided by Shio Ventures GmbH.

2. The service

The service is a personalized new tab with areas, search, news and optional AI features. It is free to use. Individual features may be subject to a daily allowance. We may develop the service further and change or discontinue individual features where there is a valid reason for doing so — such as technical development, the loss of a third-party source, security or a change in the law — and the change is reasonable for you. We announce significant restrictions in the service beforehand.

Basic use is free and stays free. Individual offers and suggestions may be monetized (partner/affiliate links). Extended features are offered by the optional paid subscription NX1 Pro (section 12) — it raises limits without restricting free use.

3. Optional account, your responsibility

Basic use of the service needs no account — areas, search, news and the leaderboard (section 7) all work without one. You may voluntarily create an NX1 account; sign-in is passwordless via a code sent to your e-mail address. The account restores your score, your name and your achievements on other devices and after a reinstall. Individual optional features do require an account, in particular linking with crypto projects (section 9).

An account is intended for one person. It may not be transferred, sold or shared. You may delete your account at any time; deletion takes effect immediately, removes e-mail address, display name, profile picture, score and leaderboard entry, and cannot be undone.

If you enable device sync, the secret code created is also your recovery key. Keep it safe — losing all paired devices without an NX1 account means the synced data can no longer be accessed.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service, in particular not to circumvent protections, run automated bulk use of the AI features, or process unlawful content.

5. Third-party content

The service shows links, news and images from third-party sources, for whose content and availability the respective provider is responsible. Brand and game names belong to their respective owners; no affiliation or endorsement is implied. Third-party downloads and offers (e.g. content linked via partner platforms) take place on the provider's own platform under its terms and at your own risk; we do not host them and provide no warranty for them.

6. AI features

AI-assisted hints (e.g. topic suggestions, screenshot help) may be inaccurate or incomplete and are not binding advice. Verify important results yourself.

7. Leaderboard, achievements and points

NX1 includes a voluntary leaderboard with achievements and points. It is off by default and only active if you explicitly switch it on. Which data is processed is described in the privacy policy.

Points, ranks and achievements are purely a game element. They have no monetary value, are neither credit nor currency, cannot be paid out, transferred, sold or traded, and there is no legal entitlement to them or to any particular rank.

Point values are calculated solely by our server. We may change the rules, point values, scoring periods and presentation, and discontinue the leaderboard, where there is a valid reason — such as abuse prevention, technical necessity, a change in the law, or further development of the game element — and this is reasonable for you. Changes that devalue your existing standing, and any discontinuation of the leaderboard, are announced in the service at least 30 days in advance. Demonstrably incorrect standings may be corrected at any time.

Any manipulation of the scoring is prohibited, in particular multiple entries or installations for the same person, automated use, circumventing the abuse limits, and sharing or passing on a participation identifier. In case of violations we may correct the affected points, remove the entry and suspend the participation. The measure must be proportionate to the violation: for a first or minor violation we notify you first; permanent exclusion is reserved for serious or repeated violations. We tell you the reason, and you may object to the measure (section 8). Your other use of the service remains unaffected.

You may pause your participation or delete your entry at any time; deletion also acts as a points reset.

8. Content you choose: display name and profile picture

If you take part in the leaderboard, you may replace the automatically generated player name with a display name of your choice and add a profile picture. Both are publicly visible to other participants.

You warrant that you hold the necessary rights to this content and that it infringes no third-party rights. Prohibited in particular is content that is insulting, discriminatory, harmful to minors, unlawful or misleading, as well as impersonating someone else.

You grant us the simple, revocable right to display your name and picture within the service — nothing more; we do not use them for advertising. If name or picture breach these rules, we may remove them; an automatically generated player name then takes the place of the name. You may change or remove both yourself at any time.

Statement of reasons and objection. If we remove a display name or profile picture, or suspend a participation (section 7), we notify you, state the reason and point out your right to object. You may object informally at kontakt@nx1-app.com; we then review the measure again and inform you of the outcome. You can use the same address to report unlawful content posted by other participants — we handle such reports promptly and inform you of our decision.

9. Linking with crypto projects

Some projects reward you for using NX1 regularly. For this you may voluntarily store a wallet address in your NX1 account and enable it for a specific project. Each project is enabled individually; the feature is off by default.

The reward does not depend on you installing the browser extension — it works the same in the web app. The extension merely saves you from having to remember daily, because every new tab counts the day.

NX1 does not issue, sell, exchange or custody any tokens or crypto assets, and executes no payments. Towards the project we attest one thing only: that our server observed use of this identifier on a counted number of days. Which reward follows from that is decided solely by the project under its own terms. There is no claim against us to a reward, to any particular multiplier, or to its value and availability. You are responsible for your own tax treatment.

We will never ask you for private keys, for a seed phrase or for access to your wallet, and we never request a payment. Anyone doing so in our name is acting fraudulently.

The address you store must be yours. One address applies per account and one account per address; after a change a lock-out period applies (currently 14 days) so that the same activity cannot be lent around.

You may withdraw an authorisation at any time; this deletes the address, and from the next synchronisation onwards no further data flows. We may suspend or end the link where there is a valid reason — maintenance, a reasonable suspicion of abuse, a change in the law, or the end of the cooperation with the project. We inform you about it; where the reason is foreseeable, in advance.

10. Minors

Basic use of the service — areas, search and news — is open to everyone and requires neither an account nor any consent.

For an NX1 account (section 3): if you are a minor, i.e. under 18, you need the consent of your parents or another legal guardian. This applies regardless of the account being free — it also creates obligations and is therefore not purely legally advantageous (sections 106 et seq. of the German Civil Code).

For the leaderboard (section 7) and linking with crypto projects (section 9) there is the additional point that they rest on your data-protection consent. You may give that consent yourself from the age of 16; below that, a parent or guardian must consent (Art. 8 GDPR — Germany has not lowered the age limit).

If we learn that an account was created without the necessary consent, we contact the guardians or delete it.

11. Warranty and liability

The service is provided free of charge and without any assurance of uninterrupted availability. We are liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, for intent and gross negligence, and under the Product Liability Act. For simple negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability is otherwise excluded. Mandatory statutory and consumer rights remain unaffected.

12. NX1 Pro (paid subscription)

NX1 Pro is an optional paid subscription for your NX1 account (section 3 — no account, no Pro). The core of NX1 remains free regardless: Pro raises limits and unlocks additional features, it does not restrict free use. The current scope and prices are shown on the pricing page; the scope and price displayed when ordering apply. All Pro prices include VAT.

Contracting party and payment. Your contracting party is Shio Ventures GmbH (section 1). Payment is made in advance per billing period via our payment service provider Stripe; billing details and payment methods are collected and managed there. If payment fails despite renewed collection attempts, the Pro benefits pause after a grace period — your account and all free features remain unaffected.

Term and cancellation. The monthly plan runs for one month and renews by one further month at a time; you may cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing month. The annual plan has a minimum term of twelve months; you may cancel at any time with effect from the end of the minimum term. After that it continues for an indefinite period and may be cancelled at any time with one month's notice; amounts prepaid for periods after the end of the contract are refunded proportionately. You cancel in the customer portal (linked in the account area) or in text form to kontakt@nx1-app.com.

Benefits provided by partners. Some Pro benefits are provided by third parties — for example a higher multiplier at a linked crypto project (section 9): we confirm your active use to the project, granting the benefit is up to the project. If such a benefit is permanently discontinued, we inform you in the service; if it was essential to your purchase, you may terminate the subscription extraordinarily as of its discontinuation, with a proportionate refund of amounts already paid.

Points, ranks and achievements (section 7) are never for sale — Pro changes neither your points nor your position on the leaderboard.

Right of withdrawal for consumers

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us — Shio Ventures GmbH, Straßburger Straße 55, 10405 Berlin, Germany, kontakt@nx1-app.com — of your decision by an unequivocal statement (e.g. an e-mail). Sending the notification before the period expires is sufficient.

Effects of withdrawal: We reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day we receive your withdrawal, using the same means of payment; you will not be charged any fees for the reimbursement. If, at your express request, performance begins during the withdrawal period — we ask for this at checkout so that Pro starts immediately — you pay us a reasonable amount proportionate to the services provided up to your withdrawal.

Model withdrawal form (not mandatory): To Shio Ventures GmbH, Straßburger Straße 55, 10405 Berlin, Germany, kontakt@nx1-app.com — I/we (*) hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me/us (*) for the provision of the following service: NX1 Pro. Ordered on (*): _______ · Name: _______ · Address: _______ · Signature (only if notified on paper), date: _______ · (*) Delete as appropriate.

13. Term and termination

The usage relationship runs for an indefinite period and costs nothing.

You may end it at any time without notice: uninstall the extension, stop opening the web app and, if you have one, delete your account (section 3).

We may end it on 30 days' notice in text form, for example if we discontinue the service. The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected; good cause exists in particular in the case of serious or repeated violations of sections 4, 7 or 8. Before terminating for good cause we notify you and state the reason, as far as this is possible and reasonable in the circumstances.

14. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms where there is a valid reason — such as a change in the law or case law, new or discontinued features, or closing a gap in the rules. We will not make changes that shift the balance of performance and consideration to your detriment.

We announce changes at least 30 days before they take effect, in the service and, if you have an account with an e-mail address, additionally by e-mail. If you do not agree, you may end the usage relationship without notice before they take effect (section 13) — the changed terms then do not apply to you. If you continue to use the service afterwards, they apply from the stated date. We point out both consequences expressly in the announcement.

The current version is always available here.

15. Consumer dispute resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act — VSBG).

16. Governing law and venue

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. The place of jurisdiction is, to the extent legally permissible, Berlin (Germany). Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence and the statutory venue for consumers remain unaffected.
