By downloading or using Belong Germany you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app. Belong Germany is made by Jordi Fakiani López, a sole trader based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Belong Germany is a personal tracker. It helps you see your own distance to German citizenship by organising the information you enter against published rules, and it splits that distance into the part you control and the part you do not.
This is the most important term. Belong Germany is an information tool, not a lawyer and not an authority. The estimates, dates and statuses it shows are based on published rules as of a stated date. Those rules change, sometimes with little notice and sometimes in ways that affect applications already in progress. Belong Germany can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Nothing in the app is legal advice and nothing in it is a promise about whether or when you will qualify for citizenship or residence. Before you make any decision, verify your situation with the responsible authority. In Germany that is your local naturalisation office, the Einbürgerungsbehörde, which decides citizenship applications, your local immigration office, the Ausländerbehörde, for residence matters, and the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, the BAMF, for national guidance and the naturalisation test. You can also speak with a qualified adviser or an immigration lawyer. You use Belong Germany at your own risk and you are responsible for any decision you make.
The News tab shows headlines published by the BAMF, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees. These are official announcements linked to point you to their source. The news is provided for general information only, it is not legal advice, and it does not change anything in the sections above.
Belong Germany is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, current or free of errors, and we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted. The rules it reflects are summaries of complex law and they are not a substitute for the official sources.
To the extent the law allows, Jordi Fakiani López is not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of Belong Germany or from any reliance on the information it shows, including any decision about residence, citizenship, travel, work or money. Your sole remedy if you are unhappy with the app is to stop using it and cancel any subscription.
Use Belong Germany for your own personal, lawful purposes. Do not copy, resell, reverse engineer or misuse the app or its content.
Belong Germany, its name, design and content are owned by Jordi Fakiani López. These terms do not give you any ownership of the app. News headlines and links shown in the app are published by the BAMF as public-sector information and remain the property of their source.
We may update these terms. If we do, we will update this page and the effective date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the law of Denmark. If you use Belong Germany as a consumer, this does not remove the protection of any mandatory consumer law of your country of residence.
