These terms govern the use of the app "Spin." (hereinafter "Spin"), provided by 1020.dev e.U., Lichtenauergasse 4/1/8, 1020 Vienna, Austria. By registering, you agree to them. Apple's standard license terms for App Store apps (Apple Standard EULA) additionally apply; in case of conflict these terms prevail to the extent Apple permits.
With Spin you share music tracks with friends and see their posts. Spin links out to Spotify for the full track. Spin plays no audio itself, does not control playback in Spotify, and does not provide full tracks. Spin is free of charge; you pay no money. In return for using it you provide the data described in the privacy policy.
When, how often and how you post. Time windows, number and presentation of posts are set by the app and shown there. This includes, for example, when a spin day starts and ends, how many posts are possible on a spin day, which post is shown large or small, in which order the feed shows posts, and when you see other people's posts. We may develop these rules further where there is an objective reason (such as user feedback, the fairness of the game or technical reasons) and this is reasonable for you (section 8). The app explains new rules before they apply.
Streak, streak freeze and awards. Spin counts on how many consecutive spin days you have posted (streak) and may give you a streak freeze that bridges a missed spin day. Spin may also hand out awards, such as "Song of the day" or "User of the week". Streak, streak freezes and awards are part of the game. They have no monetary value, cannot be transferred, sold or paid out, and give no entitlement to any particular amount or design. If they arose from a technical error or from a breach of these terms, we may correct or remove them. If we make up for disadvantages caused by a disruption on our side (such as a broken streak), we do so voluntarily.
Song of the day and user of the week. Spin automatically selects a "Song of the day" and a "User of the week". Only posts and accounts with a public profile are eligible. Spin's own accounts and suspended accounts are excluded. The selection is based mainly on other users' reactions (such as likes) and, for the song of the day, also on how well the song fits the day's theme. An automated system assesses this solely from title, artist and album, without any information about you. Which posts take part (for example only posts from the time window) and how they are weighted is set by the app. Selected posts and accounts may receive a badge in the app. It only appears where the post or profile is visible anyway. There is no entitlement to be selected. If you do not want to be selected, you can set your profile to private or write to us at hallo@1020.dev. Featuring on our social-media channels is governed by section 5.
Communities. Spin may offer communities, for example for universities, clubs or companies. Only we create communities; they are run by Spin, not official offerings of the university, club or company. Anyone can join the open "Spin Community"; all others only with the community's code or if we accept a join request. There is no right to be admitted to a community or to a community continuing to exist. We may change, merge or end communities and remove members for a legitimate reason (for example a breach of these terms or doubts about membership). The app sets how often you post in a community and when you see other members' posts (above).
Spin is for real people: you must be a natural person and register with truthful information. Automated accounts (bots) and impersonating another person are not allowed. One account per person. You must be at least 16 years old. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity under your account.
Contact matching: You may voluntarily let Spin search your address book for friends who are already using it. Only your contacts' email addresses are matched, and only as checksums, which we discard immediately after matching. If you transmit other people's contact details in doing so, you warrant that you are entitled to do so. You may only use the feature to find existing contacts — not to systematically collect third-party contact details or to advertise to others.
We do not store phone numbers. Until 6 September 2026 a phone number had to be provided at registration; it served contact matching only. That feature is gone: we ask for a number neither at registration nor in the profile, and every number already stored was deleted on 6 September 2026 — together with the checksums derived from it. So if you are wondering what happened to the number you gave back then: it is gone, and you need do nothing. Details are set out in the privacy policy.
You are solely responsible for the content you share (captions, comments, username, display name, profile picture). A zero-tolerance policy applies to objectionable content and abusive behavior.
The following content and conduct are prohibited in particular, where it
Reporting and blocking: in the app you can report objectionable content and block users. We review reports and act on legitimate reports within 24 hours by removing the content and/or suspending the responsible user.
Enforcement: depending on the severity and frequency of a violation, we may warn you, remove content without prior notice, and suspend your account temporarily or permanently. For severe violations (e.g. child sexual abuse material, threats of violence) we suspend immediately and permanently and, where required, report to the competent authorities. If we suspect a criminal offence involving a threat to the life or safety of persons, we inform law enforcement (Art. 18 DSA).
Spin stores content you share and is therefore a hosting service within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act, "DSA"). So that you know where you stand:
What we review and how. We do not review content in advance. A word filter automatically hides posts, comments and profile fields containing clearly prohibited terms from other users and puts them in front of a person for review; the content stays visible to you until a decision is made. All other content is reviewed when it is reported or we otherwise become aware of it. Every decision to remove content or suspend an account is taken by a person — not an algorithm.
Notices. Content can be reported in the app ("…" menu → Report) and — with or without an account — via the form at spin.1020.dev/report. A notice needs an explanation, the location (link), your name and email address (except for reports of child sexual abuse material) and a confirmation that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge. You receive an acknowledgement and, after review, our reasoned decision by email. We handle notices in a timely, diligent and non-arbitrary manner; notices from authorities and courts are treated with priority.
Statement of reasons. If we remove or restrict your content or suspend your account, we tell you by email: which measure we took, the facts, whether the content breaches the law or these terms, whether automated means were involved, and how you can contest it (Art. 17 DSA). This does not apply where an authority orders the measure and prohibits notification, or where the measure concerns high-volume spam.
Complaints. If you believe a decision — a removal, a suspension or the rejection of your notice — is wrong, you can lodge a complaint free of charge within six months by emailing hallo@1020.dev. A person will re-examine the case and tell you the reasoned outcome. If the decision proves wrong, we reverse it. You may additionally turn to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Art. 21 DSA, or to the courts. Complaints about our application of the DSA can be lodged with KommAustria, the Austrian Digital Services Coordinator.
Anyone who repeatedly submits manifestly unfounded notices or complaints may, after a warning, be excluded from the processing of further notices for a reasonable period (Art. 23 DSA). We take into account the number and proportion of unfounded notices, the gravity of the consequences and the apparent intent.
You retain the rights to your content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to store, display and deliver your content solely to operate and provide Spin, to the following extent:
Who sees your content. We show your posts, including captions, to the users who follow you. We show songs of the week that you share in a community to all members of that community, including members who don't follow you and even if your profile is private; with the song we show your username, display name and profile picture. Any user can enter the open Spin Community. If your profile is private, only people whose request you accepted follow you. Comments you write under other people's posts are seen by everyone who can see that post. Your profile — username, display name, profile picture and bio — is visible to all signed-in users, for example in search, in friend suggestions and on your profile page, even if your profile is private. If you make your saved songs public, all signed-in users see them as well.
Link previews and profile card. If you share a post via a link, we may show a preview on the linked web page to people without an account as well (title, cover, caption, date, username, display name, profile picture, number of likes and comments) until you withdraw the post or delete your account. At spin.1020.dev/u/ followed by your username we show anyone who knows your username a profile card with your username, display name and profile picture. The profile card shows no posts and is available even if your profile is private.
Suggestions for users who do not follow you (only with your consent). If you agree in the app (switch in Settings under Privacy, default: off), we may also show your earlier posts to users who do not follow you, but never the post of the current spin day. This happens as a Spin Card at the end of your feed and as a suggestion, for example in the feed or while a new account is being set up. Shown are the song's title, artist and cover, your username, display name and profile picture and a button to follow you, but no caption, no comments and no likes. This only applies while your profile is public and only to posts released by your history visibility setting. You can end your consent at any time in Settings; from then on we no longer show your posts this way.
Song of the day and user of the week on our channels. We may feature posts selected as "Song of the day" and accounts selected as "User of the week" (section 2a) on Spin's official social-media channels (currently Instagram), only if the profile is public. For the song of the day we show the song's title and artist, your username and — if you wrote one — your caption. For the user of the week we show only your username. We do not show your profile picture or any other data. For this you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to make your caption publicly available on those channels; the rights to title, artist name and cover art remain with the respective rights holders. There is no entitlement to be featured and no remuneration. You can object to being featured at any time — in advance or afterwards — by emailing hallo@1020.dev; we then remove the post from our channels. Details on the data processing are in the privacy policy (section 5e).
Feedback. We may use feedback and suggestions you send us to improve Spin, without compensation, and may reproduce them without your name, in substance or verbatim, in the app or on our website.
Spin may offer an invitation program. As long as it is offered, the following applies:
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use Spin for private, non-commercial purposes. All rights to the app, its design and the "Spin." brand remain with us. Cover artwork and track metadata belong to their respective rights holders and are provided via Spotify.
Spin links to third-party services, in particular Spotify. The respective providers are responsible for their content, availability and terms; when you use them, their terms of use and privacy policies apply.
We may change, limit or discontinue features where there is an objective reason (such as technical development, legal requirements or changes at third-party services) and this is reasonable for you. We provide the updates needed to keep the app in conformity (in particular security updates) and inform you about them via the App Store; if you do not install them, we are not liable for defects resulting solely from that (Section 7 Austrian Consumer Warranty Act, VGG).
Minimum version. If an update is needed for security, for legal requirements or for changed rules of play (section 2a), we may, after announcing it in the app, exclude older app versions from use. Spin then only works again after the update. The update is free of charge; your account and your content are kept.
A daily song you have already shared, and its date, are immutable after submission; you can edit the caption afterwards. You can withdraw a post until the end of the current spin day. Whether you can share a new post afterwards, and how it is shown, follows the rules in the app (section 2a). Push notifications (e.g. the daily reminder) are optional and can be disabled in your device settings. There is no entitlement to uninterrupted availability; we strive for trouble-free operation.
We may change these terms, for example due to new features, changes in the law or changed moderation rules. We will inform you of material changes in the app in good time before they take effect; they only apply once you accept them there again. If you do not accept, you can no longer use Spin and may delete your account at any time. The current version is available at spin.1020.dev/terms.
The statutory warranty rules for digital services (Austrian Consumer Warranty Act, VGG) apply to defects of the app. Beyond that we are liable only for intent and gross negligence and for damages arising from injury to life, body or health; we are not liable for slight negligence to the extent the law permits. For content of other users we are liable, in accordance with Section 16 E-Commerce Act and Art. 6 DSA, only once we have knowledge of it.
You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Settings → Delete account). We may suspend access in case of violations of these terms (see sections 4 and 4a, including complaints). We may delete accounts that have been continuously inactive for more than 24 months, after prior notice by email.
You may withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving reasons. The period starts on the day of registration. A clear statement by email to hallo@1020.dev or by post to 1020.dev e.U., Lichtenauergasse 4/1/8, 1020 Vienna is sufficient; you may use the model form below but need not. Sending the statement in time is enough to meet the deadline. Since you pay no money for Spin, there is nothing to refund; upon withdrawal we delete your account and its content. You achieve the same effect at any time — also after the period — by deleting your account in the app.
Model withdrawal form: "I hereby withdraw from the contract I concluded for the use of the app Spin. — Registered on: … — Username / email: … — Date: …"
Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country of your habitual residence remain unaffected. We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body; we prefer to resolve disagreements directly.
Our point of contact for users (Art. 12 DSA) and for authorities (Art. 11 DSA) is hallo@1020.dev; communication is possible in German and English. All mandatory disclosures are in the legal notice at spin.1020.dev/imprint.
