Terms of Service

1. Scope and Contracting Party

The contracting party is SlideWizard Inh. Constantin Sobotta (the "Provider" or "we"). These Terms apply to all contracts concluded between us and our customers ("Customer" or "you") regarding the use of the Service, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Service is aimed at individuals and organisations who wish to create presentation slides with the help of AI. The Service may be used by consumers and business customers. For business customers (B2B), certain provisions regarding limitation of liability and jurisdiction may apply in a different way than for consumers.

2. Registration and Account

To use the Service, you must create an account and sign in via our authentication provider (Auth0). You must provide accurate and up-to-date information and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

You must promptly notify us if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security. We may suspend or terminate your account if we have reason to believe that it is being used in breach of these Terms or in an unlawful manner.

3. Description of the Service

SlideWizard is a cloud-based text-to-slide generation service. You can paste or type in text prompts and the Service will generate single-slide designs (e.g. slide previews and PPTX files) with the help of AI and our design engine. The exact feature set depends on the plan you choose (e.g. Free, Basic, or future premium tiers).

We strive to provide a high-quality and reliable Service, but we do not guarantee that generated content will always be correct, complete, legally compliant, or suitable for your particular use case. You remain responsible for reviewing the generated slides and verifying the accuracy and suitability of the content before using it.

We may enhance, modify or discontinue features of the Service from time to time, provided that we will not unreasonably reduce the core functionality of paid plans during a prepaid term without appropriate compensation or your consent where required by law.

4. Plans, Fees and Billing

The current plans, slide quotas and prices are displayed on our website (e.g. Free, Basic and future premium tiers). Unless otherwise stated, prices are shown in EUR and may be subject to VAT where applicable.

• Free plan: The Free plan allows you to try the Service with a limited number of AI-generated slides per account, without a credit card.
• Paid plans (e.g. Basic): Paid plans provide higher monthly slide quotas and may include additional features as described on the pricing page. Paid plans are usually billed monthly or yearly in advance and renew automatically unless cancelled.

Unless otherwise agreed, subscription terms are either one month or one year. At the end of each term, the subscription renews automatically for the same term, unless you cancel before the end of the current term via the account or billing interface or by contacting us in time. There is no entitlement to a refund of fees already paid for a term that has begun, unless required by mandatory law (e.g. statutory consumer rights).

We may change prices and plan features for future billing periods. We will inform you of such changes in good time and in accordance with applicable law. If you do not agree to the changes, you may cancel the subscription at the end of the current term.

5. Acceptable Use

You must use the Service in compliance with applicable law and these Terms. In particular, you agree not to:

• use the Service for unlawful purposes or to create or distribute content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
• infringe intellectual property rights or other rights of third parties (e.g. by using copyrighted material without permission);
• input or upload personal data of third parties without an appropriate legal basis or their consent where required;
• attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers or networks, or circumvent technical protective measures;
• reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service except where permitted by mandatory law;
• use the Service in a way that could impair its security, performance or availability for other users.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if we reasonably believe that you are in material breach of these obligations or misuse the Service in a way that could harm us or others.

6. Intellectual Property and Rights to Content

We (or our licensors) own all rights, title and interest in and to the Service, including the software, design system, templates, logos and associated documentation. These are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to use the Service during the term of your subscription, solely for your own business or personal purposes, in accordance with these Terms.

You retain all rights in the text and other content you input into the Service ("Input"). You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to use such Input and to authorise us to process it for the purposes of providing the Service.

Subject to any third-party rights, you are generally free to use the slides and other output generated by the Service ("Output") for your own purposes, including for client work, internal presentations and commercial projects. We recommend that you verify the Output for accuracy and freedom from third-party rights, especially where sensitive or highly regulated topics are involved.

For the purpose of operating, improving and securing the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to process your Input and Output as necessary to provide the Service (for example, to store and convert files, maintain backups, and analyse aggregated usage).

7. Availability and Support

We aim to provide a high level of availability, but 100% uptime cannot be guaranteed. Maintenance, updates, incidents with hosting providers, and network issues may temporarily affect availability.

If you experience issues, you can contact us using the contact details in the Impressum or Privacy Policy. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond and to resolve issues, taking into account the nature of the problem and your subscription level.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages resulting from intent and gross negligence, as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health. The same applies to claims under the German Product Liability Act and in cases of fraudulently concealed defects or where a guarantee has been assumed.

In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance you may regularly rely). In such cases, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability for slight negligence is excluded.

The above limitations of liability also apply in favour of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents. Mandatory statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

9. Term and Termination

Free accounts may generally be terminated by either party at any time without notice. We may delete inactive Free accounts after a reasonable period, provided that we inform you in advance where feasible.

For paid subscriptions, the term, renewal and cancellation are governed by Section 4 above. The right of both parties to terminate the contract for good cause ("außerordentliche Kündigung aus wichtigem Grund") remains unaffected. Good cause exists in particular if a party commits a material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy the breach within a reasonable period after being notified.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. We may delete or anonymise data stored in your account after a reasonable period, unless we are legally required to retain it for a longer time. We therefore recommend that you export important content before termination.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms if there is a valid reason for the change and if the change is reasonable for you, for example to reflect changes in the law, in case of new technical developments or to close contractual gaps. We will inform you of any such changes in text form (e.g. by email or via the Service) in good time before they take effect.

If you do not object within the period specified in the notice (usually six weeks) and continue to use the Service after the change has taken effect, the amended Terms shall be deemed accepted. We will inform you separately of this legal consequence in the change notice. If you object to the changes, both parties may terminate the contract with regular notice.
