3. Free products
So far, a free edition, especially AI Chat 2026 Light, which is offered, can be downloaded and used free of charge in accordance with the respective applicable product description.

The user's statutory rights remain unaffected.
4. Conclusion of the contract
The presentation of products in the online shop does not yet constitute a legally binding offer to conclude a purchase agreement.

Before submitting the order, the customer can check and correct their entries.
By clicking the final order button, the customer submits a binding order.
The contract is concluded as soon as the order is accepted by the supplier. Acceptance can occur, in particular, through:

Digital products are generally provided electronically.
The provision can be carried out in particular by:
- a download link,
- a protected download area,
- the customer account,
- a license activation,
- an activation code or
- a comparable electronic provision.

7. License and right of use
Upon full payment, the customer receives a simple, non-exclusive right to use the acquired software in accordance with the respective product and license description.

- the unauthorized sale or transfer of license keys,

The customer may not circumvent or manipulate technical measures for license verification.
Temporary technical disruptions to the licensing infrastructure do not automatically lead to the loss of a validly acquired license.

The performance of local AI models can depend in particular on:
- Processor,
- RAM,

- Graphics memory,
- operating system,
- AI model used,
- Model size and quantization as well as
- other hardware and software configuration.

11. Local and external AI models
Depending on the edition, AI Chat 2026 can enable the use of local as well as external AI models and AI providers.
In locally executed models, the actual model processing generally takes place on the local system chosen by the user or on a local infrastructure set up by them.
When using external providers, input and other data may be transferred to the third-party provider selected by the customer.
External providers' services are subject to their own terms and conditions, privacy policies, and terms of use.
The customer decides which external services to configure and use.
Costs incurred through external AI providers, APIs, cloud services or other third-party providers are not included in the purchase price of AI Chat 2026, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

To the extent that AI Chat 2026 provides functions for analyzing projects, repositories, source code, ZIP files, documents or other files, the user decides which content is made available to the application for processing.
The user is responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights to process this content.
When using external AI providers, content may be transferred to these providers depending on the chosen configuration.
When processing is done exclusively locally, no transfer to an external AI provider occurs solely due to the use of the local model function.
14. Updates, patches and new versions
Bug fixes, security updates and patches can be provided for the purchased product version.
Patches and bug fixes for the respective supported product version are included in the purchase price, provided they are released for that version.
This does not entitle you to all future new major versions or paid product generations.
New major versions or version upgrades can be offered as standalone paid products.

The provider may further develop the software and adapt it to technical, security-related or legal requirements.

- Operating system changes,
- Safety requirements,

18. Warranty and rights in case of defects
Consumers are entitled to statutory warranty rights.
Digital products are subject in particular to the legal regulations of §§ 327 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB).
A fault does not exist simply because a particular AI model produces an inaccurate or qualitatively unsatisfactory answer, provided that the software itself functions as contractually agreed.
Even differences in speed or quality between different AI models do not, in themselves, constitute a software defect.
For entrepreneurs, the statutory warranty rights apply, subject to permissible deviating agreements.
19. Liability
The provider is liable without limitation:
- in cases of intent and gross negligence,
- in the event of damages resulting from injury to life, body or health,
- according to mandatory legal liability provisions as well as

Mandatory statutory consumer rights are not restricted by this provision.
20. Data backup
The customer is responsible for adequately backing up their own files, projects, repositories, configurations and other data.
Before making automated or extensive changes to projects or source code, a suitable version control or data backup should be used.

21. Right of withdrawal for consumers
Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal in the case of distance contracts.
The details can be found in the separate document. Cancellation policy and the Sample cancellation form on this website.
The statutory cancellation period is generally 14 days.
For digital content, special legal conditions may apply that cause the right of withdrawal to expire before the end of this period.
The right of withdrawal does not expire simply because the customer downloads the software. The relevant legal requirements and the declarations made during the ordering process are decisive.
22. Refunds
The customer's statutory rights to a refund or reimbursement remain unaffected.
In the event of a valid revocation, the statutory consequences of revocation apply.
In addition, voluntary refunds may be granted in accordance with the respective published refund conditions.
A voluntary concession does not create an entitlement to corresponding benefits in future cases.
23. Customer account
Certain features may require the creation of a customer account.
The customer is obliged to keep their access data secret and to protect it from access by unauthorized persons.
If there is suspicion that access data has been used without authorization, the customer should inform the provider immediately.
The provider may use or offer additional security procedures such as multi-factor authentication.
24. Blocking in case of abuse
If there is concrete evidence of:
- License abuse,
- Manipulation of the activation mechanisms,
- fraudulent payments,
- unauthorized sharing of access or
- other significant breaches of contract
The provider may temporarily block the relevant license or customer account, insofar as this is necessary and proportionate for the purpose of examining and preventing further misuse.
Before a final suspension, the customer is generally given the opportunity to clarify the situation, unless there are security reasons or compelling legal reasons to the contrary.
The customer's statutory rights remain unaffected.

27. Data protection
Information on the processing of personal data can be found in the separate privacy policy.
28. Changes to these Terms and Conditions
For already concluded one-off purchase contracts, the contractual terms agreed upon at the time of conclusion of the contract generally apply.

The provider may amend these terms and conditions for future contracts.
The version valid at the time of the respective contract conclusion shall apply.
29. Consumer Dispute Resolution
Where legally required, information on participation or non-participation in proceedings before a consumer arbitration board will be provided separately.
The statutory information obligations remain unaffected.
30. Applicable Law

For consumers, this choice of law only applies to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the state of their habitual residence.
31. Place of jurisdiction
If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the legally permissible agreements on jurisdiction shall apply.
