5. Fees & Payment

Paid plans, usage‑based fees, and billing cycles are described on our website or in your Account dashboard. Prices are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. You authorise us to charge the payment method on file for all fees when due.

6. Intellectual Property

We retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all related intellectual property. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights to the Service.

You retain ownership of Content you upload. By hosting Content on the Service, you grant us a non‑exclusive licence to store, execute, and transmit that Content as necessary to provide the Service.

7. Acceptable Use

You must not:

• Use the Service to violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Infringe intellectual‑property or privacy rights.
• Deploy malware, perform penetration tests, or expose the Service to excessive load without written permission.
• Attempt to circumvent security or access controls.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

We may suspend or terminate your Account for violations.

8. Confidentiality

Beta Plan features and documentation are confidential. You must not disclose benchmark results, screenshots, or non‑public information about the Service without our prior written consent.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error‑free.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service shall in no event exceed the total amount paid by you to us for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim (or €0 if you use only the Beta Plan).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under German law, including liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, or under the German Product Liability Act.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately and we may delete your Content after 30 days. Sections 6, 8–11, 13 and 14 survive termination.
