Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 23 May 2026

By downloading or using the Animals of Costa Rica app, or by using this website, these terms automatically apply to you — please make sure you read them carefully before doing so.

Intellectual property

You're not allowed to copy or modify the app, any part of the app, or our trademarks in any way. You may not attempt to extract the source code of the app, translate the app into other languages, or make derivative versions. The app itself and all trademarks, copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights related to it still belong to Kunz GesbR.

Continuous development

Kunz GesbR is committed to making the app as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear exactly what you're paying for.

Your data & device responsibility

The Animals of Costa Rica app stores and processes the personal data you have provided to us in order to provide our service. It is your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone — doing so may make it vulnerable to malware, compromise its security features, and may mean the app no longer works properly.

Connectivity, costs, and third parties

Certain functions of the app require an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or your mobile data plan). Kunz GesbR cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality when you don't have access to Wi-Fi or have run out of data allowance.

If you're using the app outside an area with Wi-Fi, the terms of agreement with your mobile network provider still apply. You may therefore be charged by your mobile provider for data use during the connection, or other third-party charges. By using the app you accept responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the app outside your home territory without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you're using the app, we assume you have received permission from the bill payer.

Kunz GesbR cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the app — for example, if your device runs out of battery and you can't access the service. While we endeavour to ensure that information is updated and correct at all times, we rely on third parties to provide some of it. Kunz GesbR accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality.

Updates and end of support

At some point we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on Android and iOS — the requirements for both systems (and for any new systems we decide to extend support to) may change, and you'll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app. We do not promise to always update the app so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the Android / iOS version installed on your device. However, you promise to always accept updates to the application when offered to you. We may also wish to stop providing the app, and may terminate use of it at any time without notice. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination your rights and licences granted to you in these terms will end, you must stop using the app, and (if needed) delete it from your device.

Changes to these Terms

We may update our Terms and Conditions from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
