Terms and Conditions

The provider of the Hydra digital application and the services made available through it is Midnite Compile GmbH, Otto-Bauer-Gasse 5 / Top 17, 1060 Vienna, Austria, email: office@hydrapt.com. These Terms and Conditions apply to the use of app.hydrapt.com and the associated Hydra apps. For web purchases, Midnite Compile GmbH is the contracting party for Hydra Pro; the terms of Stripe and Sold through Link, LLC displayed in the Link checkout additionally apply to payment and order processing. Purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play are additionally subject to Apple or Google's terms. The final price displayed immediately before purchase is binding.

Where users are consumers within the meaning of section 1 of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act, mandatory consumer protection provisions take precedence over these Terms and Conditions. Deviating terms of a user apply only if the provider has expressly accepted them.

Registration takes place through Apple or Google. The user account is personal and may not be transferred to or shared with third parties. Login credentials must be kept confidential. Any unauthorised use must be reported to the provider without delay. Users must be of legal age or act with the consent of their legal representative.

As a rule, only one user account is permitted per person. Multiple accounts may be suspended or deleted if they are used to circumvent access restrictions or manipulate leaderboards, friend lists or trial periods.

Account deletion can be initiated under “Profile”. It takes effect immediately after successful technical completion and cannot be reversed. A data export is available before deletion, currently no more than once per calendar day.

In particular, the following are deleted with the user account:

• login, profile, username and recorded consents to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy;
• test results, personal bests, leaderboard entries, training data and the access status stored in Hydra;
• friendships, friend codes and images uploaded by the user to the forum.

The following remain unaffected by account deletion:

• previously published forum posts, which remain without attribution as posts by a deleted user where this is necessary to preserve the context of the discussion and is permitted under data protection law;
• payment and invoice records that Stripe, Sold through Link, LLC, Apple or Google continue to retain under statutory retention duties.

A web subscription is set to end as part of account deletion. If cancellation fails for technical reasons, account deletion is not completed. Payments already made are not automatically refunded by account deletion. Statutory withdrawal, warranty and refund rights remain unaffected. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store must be cancelled with Apple, and subscriptions purchased through Google Play must be cancelled with Google.

Hydra provides digital training modules, evaluations, progress views and optional leaderboard, friends and community features. Registration is free. The specific scope of Hydra Pro is determined by the service description displayed at the time of purchase.

The display of products and prices does not constitute a binding offer. For a web purchase, the user submits a binding order by pressing the final order button in the Link checkout. The contract for Hydra Pro is concluded between the user and Midnite Compile GmbH when the Link checkout confirms successful completion of the order. Purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play are concluded under Apple or Google's terms. Hydra Pro is activated for the assigned user account after confirmation of the purchase or trial.

Monthly and annual subscriptions are paid in advance and automatically renew for the term shown in checkout unless cancelled in time. The total prices including VAT displayed immediately before the order is submitted apply.

A web subscription can be cancelled under “Profile”, in the Stripe customer portal or through Link. Ordinary cancellation only stops automatic renewal and takes effect at the end of the period already paid for. Hydra Pro remains available until then. A cancellation that has not yet taken effect may be revoked where this is technically offered. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store must be cancelled with Apple, and subscriptions purchased through Google Play must be cancelled with Google.

Where the web checkout offers a free trial, it currently lasts 24 hours for monthly and annual subscriptions. Payment details are required to start the trial. Unless it is cancelled before it ends, the trial automatically converts into the selected paid subscription at the price shown in checkout.

A 24-hour trial offered independently of a purchase can also be used if the customer subsequently chooses the one-time purchase. The one-time purchase itself does not start a new trial and does not renew automatically. It is paid once at the price shown in checkout and provides access for an indefinite period subject to the section “Availability, updates and changes”. If a payment fails or is validly charged back, access may be suspended until the matter is resolved. Statutory rights remain unaffected.

Web purchases are processed through a Stripe checkout embedded in Hydra and provided through RevenueCat. Stripe processes the payment details; for a Managed Payments transaction, Sold through Link, LLC handles order and transaction processing. Midnite Compile GmbH does not receive card or bank account details, but only purchase and access status data required for activation and administration.

For web purchases using Stripe Managed Payments, Sold through Link, LLC acts as merchant of record for the transaction under the checkout label “Sold through Link”. Sold through Link, LLC is responsible for transaction processing, VAT, receipts and transaction-related customer support. Midnite Compile GmbH remains the contracting party for Hydra Pro and is responsible for product delivery and product-related support.

Billing takes place in the currency displayed in the Link checkout. The final price including VAT displayed immediately before the order is submitted and the payment methods offered there are decisive.

Payment method, billing address, receipts and orders can be managed under “Profile” and in the Link portal. Cancellation and a request for withdrawal or refund are separate processes.

Consumers may withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days of its conclusion without giving a reason, under section 11 of the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act. An unambiguous statement of the decision to withdraw, sent before the deadline, is sufficient.

Ordinary cancellation of a subscription only stops future renewals and does not automatically refund the current period. Withdrawal or a refund request must therefore be declared separately.

Withdrawal may be exercised by an unambiguous statement sent by email to the support address office@hydrapt.com. For prompt identification, the email address used for the purchase and, where available, the order or receipt number should be provided. Sending the withdrawal statement before the deadline is sufficient to preserve the withdrawal period.

In the event of a valid withdrawal, all payments are refunded without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receipt of the withdrawal statement, using the same means of payment and without additional charges. The current Hydra checkout does not obtain an express request under section 10 of the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act or a waiver of the right of withdrawal. The provider therefore does not charge a proportionate amount for use before withdrawal. Hydra Pro may no longer be used after withdrawal, and access ends as part of the refund process.

After the withdrawal period, there is no general right to a refund merely because the service was not used or the user changed their mind. Refund requests may be sent to the support email address above and are assessed under the applicable contractual terms and mandatory statutory requirements.

Statutory warranty, price reduction and contract termination rights in the event of a defective digital service remain unaffected.

For purchases through the Apple App Store, Apple's routes for withdrawal, cancellation and refunds must be used; for purchases through Google Play, Google's corresponding routes must be used.

Hydra's tasks, matrices, item pools, solutions, texts, graphics, evaluation logic, databases, design and software are protected by copyright, trademark or database rights. All rights remain with the provider or its licensors.

For the duration of the relevant access, the user receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use Hydra personally and for non-commercial purposes. In particular, it is prohibited to:

• systematically collect, copy, share or publish tasks, solutions or item pools, including by screenshots or screen recordings;
• use protected content for competing services, independent tests, publications, datasets, commercial training or the training of AI models;
• use scraping, bots or automated queries, reverse engineer the service, circumvent restrictions or remove rights notices.

Uses permitted by mandatory law remain unaffected. Any further use requires the prior consent of the rights holder.

Rights in forum posts, comments, images and other content supplied by a user remain with that user. The user represents that they hold the necessary rights and do not infringe any third-party rights.

The user grants the provider, free of charge, the non-exclusive rights required to operate, store, technically reproduce and display the content within Hydra. Anonymous or aggregated analysis to improve Hydra is permitted subject to data protection law.

Where necessary to preserve discussions that have already begun, this use may continue after the contract ends in anonymous form. Personal data is deleted or anonymised where required by law. Images showing identifiable persons are used only for display within Hydra unless further consent has been given.

Unlawful content and content that breaches these Terms and Conditions may be removed or made inaccessible in accordance with applicable law.

In particular, sharing user accounts, manipulating results or leaderboards, unlawful or abusive content, and interfering with the operation, availability or security of Hydra are prohibited. In the event of material or repeated breaches, the provider may, after prior warning, temporarily suspend access or terminate the contract for cause. Immediate suspension is permitted where it is necessary and proportionate to protect users, rights or systems. Mandatory statutory claims remain unaffected.

Hydra is intended exclusively for training, preparation and self-assessment. It is not an official, occupational psychological or clinical aptitude assessment and does not replace medical, psychological or other professional advice. There is no affiliation with employers, public authorities or test providers unless expressly stated. No particular learning progress or success in a selection process is owed.

Tasks, solutions and evaluations are maintained with reasonable care. Training content and item pools may change. Errors may be reported to office@hydrapt.com. Statutory warranty rights remain unaffected.

The provider endeavours to ensure reasonable availability of Hydra. Temporary restrictions due to maintenance, security measures, technical faults or force majeure cannot be entirely excluded. Security updates and updates required for conformity are supplied in accordance with statutory requirements.

Training content may be updated, supplemented or replaced provided that the agreed core of the service is preserved. Other changes to a continuously supplied digital service are made only for an objective reason set out in these Terms and Conditions, in particular changes in law, technical development, security or abuse prevention, without additional cost and in compliance with the information and termination rights under the Austrian Consumer Warranty Act.

“Indefinite access” is not a subscription and has no predetermined expiry date. It does not, however, guarantee operation for the user's lifetime. Permanent discontinuation of Hydra will, where possible and legally required, be announced in advance. Statutory warranty, price reduction and contract termination rights remain unaffected.

Digital services are subject to statutory warranty provisions, in particular the Austrian Consumer Warranty Act. In the event of defects, consumers have the statutory rights to have conformity restored, receive a price reduction or terminate the contract.

The provider's liability is governed by statutory law. Mandatory bases of liability, in particular for personal injury, intent and gross negligence, are not restricted by these Terms and Conditions.

The provider may terminate a free user relationship with 30 days' notice in text form. Paid access is not terminated without cause before the end of the period already paid for. If the provider is nevertheless responsible for early termination, statutory refund and warranty rights remain available.

Either party's right to terminate immediately for cause remains unaffected. Cause for the provider includes material or repeated breaches of the sections “Rights of use and protection of content” or “User obligations and prohibited use”. The user may cancel a subscription as described above and delete the user account at any time.

Changes to these Terms and Conditions apply to existing contracts only where expressly agreed or permitted by law. The user is informed of material changes in good time in text form or on another durable medium. Where a change causes more than a minor disadvantage, the statutory termination rights are explained. Separate express consent is obtained where required.

Austrian law applies, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. In relation to consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of mandatory protection under the law of their habitual residence. Statutory places of jurisdiction apply exclusively. If a provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected and the statutory rule applies instead.

Questions, complaints, and product- or transaction-related support requests, including withdrawal and refund matters, may be sent to Midnite Compile GmbH, Otto-Bauer-Gasse 5 / Top 17, 1060 Vienna, Austria, email: office@hydrapt.com.
