    • To provide these features, certain User Content (such as assessment results, company context provided by you, and existing plan elements) will be transmitted to Anthropic for processing. Further details are in our Privacy Policy.
    • You understand and agree that the AI-Generated Content is provided on an “as-is” basis. While we strive to provide useful and relevant suggestions, AI-Generated Content may contain inaccuracies, errors, or be incomplete. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and editing any AI-Generated Content before relying on or implementing it.
    • We do not claim ownership of the unique strategic inputs you provide to the AI, but the underlying AI models and algorithms remain the property of Anthropic or us. The AI-Generated Content created for you within the Service is for your use in connection with your data strategy.
    • Do not input highly sensitive personal data or confidential information into free-text fields intended for AI processing if you are not comfortable with it being processed by Anthropic, subject to their data policies (see our Privacy Policy for more details).
  • Responsibility for User Content: You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, submitting, and/or publishing it on or through the Service. You represent and warrant that your User Content does not violate any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights, and that you have all necessary permissions to use and share such content through the Service.

16. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Consumer Rights

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Your Country of Incorporation, e.g., Germany], without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is expressly excluded.

If you are a consumer (Verbraucher) within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and have your habitual residence in the EU, you shall additionally enjoy the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. You may bring any E-Commerce, Online-Handel claims relating to these Terms before the competent court of your habitual residence or the competent court of our place of business in [Your Country of Incorporation, e.g., Germany]. We may only bring claims against you as a consumer before the competent court of your habitual residence.

If you are a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law (juristische Person des öffentlichen Rechts), or a special fund under public law (öffentlich-rechtliches Sondervermögen), the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract shall be [City of Your Company’s Registered Seat, e.g., Berlin].

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform (ODR platform) for consumers, which can be accessed at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged or willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).

Right of Withdrawal for Consumers (Widerrufsrecht für Verbraucher):
If you are a consumer residing in the EU, you generally have a statutory right of withdrawal when concluding a distance contract. Information about this right and the model withdrawal form will be provided to you separately before or upon conclusion of a contract for paid services, if applicable according to law. As our paid services (Pro/Enterprise tiers involving one-off fees for digital content/service access that may be immediately usable) are primarily for business use, and given the nature of immediate access to digital features, please note that your right of withdrawal may expire prematurely if you expressly consent to us beginning with the performance of the contract before the withdrawal period has expired and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, or if the service is fully performed. We will inform you about these conditions explicitly before purchase.

17. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice prior to any new terms taking effect, for example by posting a notice on our website or sending you an email. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our Service after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use the Service.

18. General Provisions

  • Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.
  • Waiver: No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
