Terms of use

An English version of this page is provided for convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.

As of 21 September 2026

1. Scope

These terms apply to the use of the service ALTIKO, available at altiko.de, operated by Nils Dieters (hereinafter the “provider”). Differing terms of users do not become part of the contract.

2. What the service does

ALTIKO receives events from connected streaming platforms and carries out the reactions defined by the users themselves — alerts and self-designed overlays on stream, chat messages, notices in Discord and counter values. The specific scope of functions follows from the description in the service current at the time.

3. Formation of the contract

The contract comes into being when you sign in with an account at a supported platform. No separate password is issued. A minimum age of 16 is required; for younger persons the consent of a parent or guardian is necessary.

4. Costs

The basic features are free. Additional features (“Premium”) are subject to a charge; which those are and what they cost is stated in the dashboard under “Plan” and in the roadmap. Features already usable free of charge will not subsequently become chargeable without timely notice and an opportunity to cancel.

Trial. Every channel can use Premium free of charge once for 7 days. The trial ends by itself; no costs arise and no cancellation is necessary.

Grants. The provider may grant Premium to individual channels without payment — for instance as a thank-you or as a prize — for a limited period or without limit. A time-limited grant ends by itself; no costs arise and it does not renew. A grant remains in place for the period promised. The provider may revoke it early only if the channel breaches these terms of use — for instance in cases of misuse of the service, unlawful content, or where the grant was obtained by deception. An unlimited grant also ends if the service or Premium is discontinued; the provider will announce this at least 30 days in advance.

Invitations. Every channel receives a personal invitation link in the dashboard. If somebody creates a new channel through that link and subsequently pays for a Premium subscription (monthly or yearly), the new and the inviting channel each receive 30 days of Premium at no extra cost after the first successful payment. If a subscription is running, the next charge is postponed by 30 days instead; without a running subscription the gift counts as a time-limited grant. The gift is given once per new channel; existing channels cannot be invited retrospectively. It is not paid out. If the subscription is withdrawn or the gift obtained by deception – for instance by inviting one’s own second accounts – the provider may take the gifted time back.

Premium subscription. Premium can be taken monthly (€5.99) or yearly (€59.90); payment is handled by Stripe. The subscription begins with the payment and renews for the period booked as long as it is not cancelled. It can be cancelled at any time with effect from the end of the paid period — in the dashboard under “Plan” → “Manage subscription”. All prices are final prices; as a small business under § 19 UStG no VAT is charged.

Right of withdrawal. Consumers may withdraw from the contract for a Premium subscription within 14 days of its conclusion without giving reasons, informally by email to the address named in the imprint. Anyone who requests that Premium start during the withdrawal period pays a proportionate amount for the time provided up to that point in the event of withdrawal. Details and the model withdrawal form are set out in the right of withdrawal notice.

End of Premium. When Premium ends, the free limits apply again. Content above those limits – uploaded sounds or further Discord servers, for instance – is not deleted immediately but deactivated and removed after 12 months, unless Premium is active again by then and the users have not removed it themselves.

5. Obligations of users

Users undertake:

  • to connect only channels over which they have authority;
  • not to trigger content that infringes applicable law, the rules of the respective platform or the rights of third parties — in particular no insulting, discriminatory or misleading messages;
  • not to misuse the service, in particular not for bulk sending, automated advertising or circumventing platform restrictions;
  • to keep their alert addresses (overlay URLs) secret. Whoever knows such an address can read along with the alerts on stream.
  • to keep their chat window address (OBS dock) secret. This address takes the place of signing in: whoever knows it can read along with the channel’s chat and send messages in it. It must not be visible on stream and must not be passed on. If disclosure is suspected, it can be regenerated in the service at any time, which invalidates the previous address.

Users are themselves responsible for the content triggered through ALTIKO. This also applies to rules they adopt from templates and adapt.

5.1 Your own Discord server

Whoever invites AltikoBOT into a Discord server remains responsible for that server. This concerns three things above all:

  • Moderation. What the chat guard removes and who it puts in a timeout is determined solely by the rules entered by the user. ALTIKO does not check whether a measure is appropriate.
  • Data of members. If levels, birthdays or giveaways are used, ALTIKO processes data of people who have no ALTIKO account of their own, on behalf of the users. The controller under data protection law is the server operator; they must inform their members. What is stored is set out in the privacy policy, section 5.7.
  • Discord’s own rules. They apply independently of these terms — for instance for announcements to everyone and for giveaways.

6. Your own content

In the overlay editor users can upload their own files — images, GIFs, videos, sounds and fonts. Storage space of currently 2 GB per channel is available for this; once it is full, new files can only be uploaded after deleting others.

Users warrant that

  • they hold the necessary rights in the uploaded content — in particular copyright, trade mark and personality rights as well as the licence to use a font, an image or music on stream;
  • the content does not infringe applicable law or the rules of the platforms on which it is shown.

Users grant the provider the simple, non-transferable right to store the files and to deliver them to their browser sources, to the extent necessary for the operation of the service. The provider acquires no further rights.

The provider does not check uploaded content in advance. If they become aware of a legal infringement, they may block or delete the files concerned; users will be informed about this as far as possible. If third parties bring claims against the provider because of content for which users are responsible, users shall indemnify them.

The storage space is not a backup. Users should keep their own copies of their files.

Wish board. Entries on the wish board are publicly visible — with the channel name only if users choose that when posting. The same rules apply to them as to other content of their own. The provider may merge, hide or delete entries and decides themselves which wishes to implement; there is no claim to implementation.

Sound library. Users can share their own sounds with the sound library. Other users then see the sound, its name and the channel name and can adopt a copy into their own collection. Whoever shares a sound warrants that they may pass it on in this way and grants all users of the service the simple, free and unlimited right to use the adopted copy in their streams with ALTIKO. If somebody withdraws the sharing or deletes the sound, that applies only to future adoptions; copies already adopted remain. Adopted sounds cannot be shared again. Shared sounds can be reported; the provider may remove them from the library.

Sounds in the Twitch panel. Streamers can decide that viewers may trigger sounds through the Twitch extension “ALTIKO Panel” using loyalty points, channel points or bits. Loyalty points are not money and have no monetary value. Purchases with bits are handled by Twitch under its own terms; refunds and revenue sharing are governed solely by Twitch’s rules. The provider transmits the triggered sound to the streamer’s browser source; whether it can be heard on stream depends on their setup.

7. Relationship to the platforms

ALTIKO has no business relationship with Twitch, Kick, Discord or YouTube. Use of those platforms is governed exclusively by their own terms. If a platform changes its interfaces or withdraws access, features of ALTIKO may cease to work without the provider being responsible for this.

8. Availability

The provider endeavours to keep operation as continuous as possible but does not owe any particular availability. Maintenance work, faults at upstream providers and outages of the platforms may lead to interruptions. There is no claim to uninterrupted use.

The service is in Early Access and is being developed further. Features may change, be added or be removed.

9. Liability

The provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body and health. In cases of simple negligence they are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance users may regularly rely; in that case liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract.

Any further liability is excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

10. Suspension and termination

Users can remove their account at any time without giving reasons under Channel & plan → Delete account. This ends the contract.

The provider may terminate the contract giving 14 days’ notice. In cases of serious or repeated breaches of these terms, access may be suspended without prior notice.

If the service is discontinued, users will be informed at least 30 days in advance so that they can save their settings.

11. Changes to these terms

The provider may amend these terms where this is necessary to adapt to a changed legal situation, case law or the scope of functions. Users will be informed of changes at least 30 days in advance. If users do not object before the changes take effect, the changes are deemed accepted; the notice will point this out separately. In the event of an objection, either party may end the contract.

12. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which users have their habitual residence remain unaffected.

Should a provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
