2. The Service shall be made available "as is" and "as available" without any warranty whatsoever being provided explicitly or by implication. We expressly do not give any representations or warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, applicability for a specific purpose, availability, safety, ownership or non-infringement of rights.

3. Use of the Service or its outputs is at the user's sole discretion and their own risk. The user shall bear sole responsibility for all damage or loss incurred as a result of their use of the Service, including damage to their system or loss of data. You expressly acknowledge that due to the probabilistic nature of AI, outputs may contain inaccuracies, outdated references, or misinterpretations. PyleHound does not warrant the factual or legal accuracy of any generated content.

4. The Service does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied upon as such. All outputs must be reviewed and validated by a qualified lawyer. Legal data and judgments provided via third-party integrations may not always reflect the most recent legal developments.

5. You are solely responsible for the content, development, operation, maintenance and use of your Data used as AI Input or AI Output. You will ensure that your use of our AI features and the use of your AI Output must not (i) violate any applicable law, (ii) violate these Terms or any other agreement on the use of our services, or (iii) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any of our rights or the rights of any third party.

3. Type and Scope of the Service

1. PyleHound shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with access to the Software, including AI and machine learning models in its respective current version for use at the router point of the data centre in which the server with the Software is located ("Delivery Point"). The Software, the computing power required for the operation of the Software in the data centre and the storage and data processing space required for this are provided by PyleHound. However, PyleHound is not responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the data connection between your used device and systems or any other equipment or requirement which is not in the sole control of PyleHound and the Delivery Point.

2. PyleHound grants you, limited to the duration of the contract, the non-exclusive, non-transferable right of use the Software for your own internal purposes, to store and process your data ("AI Input") with the aid of the Software, to load the user interface of the Software for display on the screen into the main memory of the end devices used for this purpose in accordance with the agreement, to make the resulting copies of the user interface and to use the AI feature predictions and output ("AI Output"), based on the input given by you.

3. The contractually agreed service may not be made available to third parties unless this has been expressly agreed by the parties.

4. Users warrant to use the Service in compliance with the Prohibited Use Policy of Google.

4. Availability and Changes of the Software

1. PyleHound will make reasonable efforts to enable the use of the Software within the framework of the proven state of the art and will endeavour to ensure the greatest possible availability. PyleHound reserves the right to temporarily restrict access to or use of the Software in whole or in part if this is necessary with regard to capacity limits, the security or integrity of the servers or for the implementation of technical measures and this serves the proper or improved provision of the services (e.g. during maintenance work, updates, upgrades). PyleHound will provide you with updates during the term of the Terms that are necessary to maintain the Software in compliance with the Terms and will provide you with reasonable notice of such updates. Beyond that, PyleHound is not obliged to provide updates or upgrades for the Software or to adapt the Software in any other way to any changes in hardware and/or Software (in particular operating systems or web browsers).

2. PyleHound draws your attention to the fact that restrictions or impairments of the services provided may arise that are beyond the control of PyleHound. This includes, in particular, actions by third parties not acting on behalf of PyleHound, technical conditions of the Internet that PyleHound cannot influence and force majeure. The hardware, Software and technical infrastructure used by you may also have an influence on the services. Insofar as such circumstances have an influence on the availability or functionality of the service provided by PyleHound, this shall have no effect on the contractual conformity of the services provided.

3. You are obliged to notify PyleHound immediately and as precisely as possible of any functional outages, disruptions or impairments of the Software. If you fail to do so, § 536c BGB (German Civil Code) shall apply accordingly.

4. PyleHound is entitled to further develop and modify the Software, provided that such further development or modification (i) is necessary for PyleHound to comply with mandatory legal requirements, (ii) merely means an adaptation to the respective proven or current state of the art or (iii) does not go beyond what is commercially available and reasonable for you in the case of comparable Software, i.e. does not disappoint your legitimate expectation of continuing to use essential available functions of the Software.

5. Registration and Conclusion of Contract

1. In order to use our services, you must first register on one of the websites. You may only register once and only create one user profile. You may not use pseudonyms or artistic names. Registration is free of charge.

2. By completing your registration, you are making an offer to enter into a contract of use and you warrant that all data provided by you during registration is true and complete. You are obliged to notify us immediately of any changes in your registration data.

3. PyleHound accepts this offer by activating the user account for the services. Through this acceptance, the contract between you and us comes into effect.

4. If you register your user account using an email address which is owned or controlled by a legal entity ("Legal Entity"), e.g. your employer, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to register on behalf of that Legal Entity. You further acknowledge that in this case your user account and all associated account data belong to the Legal Entity, and not you personally. As such, PyleHound may allow the Legal Entity to control or fully take over your user account. This means that the Legal Entity is in particular able to (i) access, disclose, transfer, restrict or remove information and data from your user account, and (ii) restrict or deactivate your access to your user account.

5. You are obliged to keep the password chosen by you during registration as well as the other access data secret and to ensure that any persons authorized by you to whom access data is made available also do so. PyleHound will not ask you for your password at any time except when using the Software.

We preclude, to the extent permitted by law, all liability for indirect or accidental damage or loss, consequential damage or loss, lost profit, quantifiable pecuniary losses that arise from or in connection with the use of PyleHound, regardless of whether such damage or loss is due to breach of contract, breach of warranty or tort (including, but not limited to, negligence and product liability) or to any other financial loss.
