Terms – special conditions DasDing

Translation

Translation for convenience – the German version is legally binding: AGB – Besondere Bedingungen DasDing.

Version 1.1

Valid from 13 October 2026 (approved by P.A.S.S.).

These special conditions apply to the product DasDing (personal storage with the DasDing software) and supplement the general terms and conditions of P.A.S.S. (in German). In case of contradictions, these special conditions take precedence; otherwise the P.A.S.S. general terms apply.

1. Provider and scope

The provider is Petersen Advanced Security Solutions (P.A.S.S.), a sole proprietorship under Swiss law, owner Hendrik Petersen, Muttenstrasse 3, 4500 Solothurn, Switzerland, e-mail info@your-pass.org (imprint).

The conditions apply to all DasDing accounts and storage plans, regardless of whether the plan was booked on this website or in the DasDing program.

2. Services

1. Personal storage in the booked size (500 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB or 5 TB) on the P.A.S.S. infrastructure. Every account also includes standard storage without a plan.
2. DasDing software for Windows and Linux with all features included in every plan, in particular sync, mounting as a drive, cloud connections, password vault (KeePass format), encrypted containers (VeraCrypt) with container protection (section 9), sharing files by link (“Shared”), audio and video playback of your own files, the software area (section 8), Matrix chat, remote help and Quick Support. For the duration of the contract you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software.
3. P.A.S.S. continuously develops DasDing. Features may be improved, added or replaced as long as the core of the service (storage and software) is preserved. Updates are provided automatically.
4. Availability is governed by art. 8 of the P.A.S.S. general terms (target 99 % on an annual average, excluding announced maintenance).
5. Features that integrate third-party services (e.g. Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, VeraCrypt) require an account or an installation with the respective provider; their conditions apply to it.

3. Account

1. An account is personal and may not be shared with other people.
2. You keep your credentials secret. P.A.S.S. recommends two-factor sign-in. If you suspect misuse, report it immediately.
3. Accounts are granted by P.A.S.S. There is no entitlement to an account.

4. Conclusion of contract

You choose a storage package and pay via the payment page of our payment provider Stripe. The contract for the plan is concluded with the successful first payment. You receive the confirmation and the receipts by e-mail. The additional storage is activated immediately afterwards.

5. Prices and payment

1. The prices shown at the time of booking apply, in CHF per month: 500 GB 9 CHF, 1 TB 15 CHF, 2 TB 25 CHF, 5 TB 50 CHF. If P.A.S.S. is subject to VAT, the prices include the statutory VAT.
2. The amount is charged automatically monthly in advance to the stored card. Payments are processed by Stripe; P.A.S.S. receives no card data.
3. You can view or change invoices and payment methods at any time in the customer portal (in the program under 🔑 → Storage & plan → “Invoices & payment methods”).
4. Price changes are announced at least 30 days in advance. In this case you can cancel the plan as of the time of the change, even during the minimum term.

Campaigns and bonuses

DasDing may offer time-limited campaigns (for example “Refer a friend”). Additional storage from campaigns is a voluntary benefit without payment, can't be paid out or transferred, and is governed by the respective campaign terms.

6. Term and cancellation

1. The minimum term is 12 months from conclusion of the contract. Ordinary cancellation is not possible during the minimum term.
2. After the minimum term, the plan continues indefinitely and can be canceled at any time as of the end of the current monthly billing period – in the program under 🔑 → Storage & plan or by e-mail to info@your-pass.org. An automatic renewal for a further 12 months (art. 6 of the P.A.S.S. general terms) does not take place for DasDing.
3. Switching to a larger or smaller package is possible on request.
4. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains reserved (art. 6 of the P.A.S.S. general terms).

7. Payment default and end of the plan

1. If a charge fails, you are informed by e-mail; Stripe retries the charge for about two weeks. If the payment is still not made, the plan ends.
2. When the plan ends (cancellation or payment default), the standard storage applies to the account again. If there is more data in the storage, you can still download or delete it, but you can't add new files.
3. If the standard storage is still exceeded 60 days after the end of the plan, P.A.S.S. may, after an announcement with a notice period of 14 days, delete data until the standard storage is complied with. If the account is closed, the data is permanently deleted after 30 days.

8. Your obligations and permitted use

1. DasDing may only be used for lawful purposes. Prohibited in particular are content and actions that violate copyright, personality rights or criminal law, as well as the uses mentioned in art. 3 and art. 10 of the P.A.S.S. general terms (e.g. malware, spam, abusive use of resources).
2. You alone are responsible for the content in your storage. New files are automatically checked for malware; infected files are moved to quarantine.
3. Remote help, Quick Support and chat may only be used with the consent of the other person. Harassment or abuse can be reported and leads to the blocking of the feature or the account.
4. Sharing files by link (“Shared”): a link is valid for the time you choose (1 to 30 days) and only together with the password you set. You alone decide whom you give the link and password to, and you are responsible for being allowed to pass on the shared file. Whoever downloads via a link does not become a contracting party of P.A.S.S. Only files from your personal storage can be shared. P.A.S.S. may block individual links in case of abuse or by order of the authorities.
5. Software area: the programs listed there are third-party software. DasDing only shows information from the public package directory (winget index) or Flathub and downloads the installation file directly from the vendor's source; P.A.S.S. does not store, modify or sell these programs. The vendor's conditions apply to use, license and function (freeware with its own license is marked on the card as “vendor licence”). Names and logos are trademarks of the respective vendors and serve identification only. To the extent permitted by law, P.A.S.S. gives no warranty for availability, suitability, freedom from errors or harmlessness of these programs and is not liable for damage resulting from their installation or use. DasDing checks every downloaded file against the checksum from the vendor manifest before it is installed.
6. In case of violations, P.A.S.S. may block content, block the account or terminate the contract without notice (art. 3 and 10 of the P.A.S.S. general terms).

9. Data backup, container protection and encryption

1. You are responsible for backing up your data yourself (art. 3 of the P.A.S.S. general terms). The recycle bin (30 days) is not a backup.
2. Container protection: before every upload of an encrypted container, the server keeps the previous version for 24 hours; you can restore it yourself in the program (“Previous version”). This protects against interrupted transfers, but is not a backup and does not establish any claim to restoration after the 24 hours have expired. Actual backup packages will be offered later as a separate service.
3. The password vault and encrypted containers are encrypted and decrypted only on your device. P.A.S.S. does not know your master password or container password and can't recover lost passwords or key files. No liability is accepted for data loss as a result of lost passwords.

10. Liability

Art. 7 of the P.A.S.S. general terms applies. Liability for direct damage is limited to gross negligence and intent and, in amount, to the plan fees paid in the last 12 months, to the extent permitted by law.

11. Data protection

The privacy policy for DasDing applies, supplemented by the privacy policy of P.A.S.S. (in German).

12. Changes, applicable law, place of jurisdiction

1. Changes to these conditions are announced at least 30 days before they take effect (art. 12 of the P.A.S.S. general terms).
2. Swiss law applies, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is Solothurn, Switzerland, unless mandatory provisions for the protection of consumers provide otherwise.
