Terms of Service

1. Scope and parties

These Terms govern your use of the Veriakt website and the Veriakt EU AI Act assessment service ("the Service"). The provider of the Service is the entity identified in the Impressum ("Veriakt", "we", "us").

The Service is offered to businesses and professionals (Unternehmer, § 14 BGB) only. It is not directed at consumers (Verbraucher, § 13 BGB). By using the Service you confirm you are acting in the course of a business or professional activity.

Your own general terms and conditions do not apply, even if we do not expressly object to them.

2. What the Service does

You submit structured information about your company and the AI systems you build or use. The Service processes that information — including by means of automated analysis using third-party large language models — and generates: (a) a risk classification of each system under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 ("the EU AI Act"); (b) a gap analysis against the obligations that apply to your indicated risk tier and role; and (c) an internal AI policy document.

3. No legal advice

The output is automated compliance information derived from the facts you supply. It is not a legal opinion, an audit, a certification, or a conformity assessment within the meaning of the EU AI Act, and it does not discharge any obligation the EU AI Act places on you.

You remain solely responsible for your regulatory compliance. Before you rely on the output for any decision with legal effect — including but not limited to affixing CE marking, issuing an EU declaration of conformity, registering a system in the EU database, or determining that a system is not high-risk — you must obtain advice from a suitably qualified lawyer or notified body.

4. Accuracy, and the limits of automated analysis

We make reasonable efforts to reflect the EU AI Act accurately and to keep the Service current with applicable amendments. However:

• The output depends entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide. Incomplete or inaccurate intake produces an unreliable result.
• The Service uses large language models, which can produce incorrect or incomplete output.
• The EU AI Act, its implementing acts, harmonised standards, and national implementing law continue to develop. Output reflects our understanding at the time of generation.
• Classification under the EU AI Act can require legal judgement on contested points. The Service does not resolve such questions authoritatively.

We therefore give no warranty that the output is correct, complete, or fit for any particular purpose.

5. Free evaluation programme

We currently offer a free compliance evaluation to a limited number of companies. Access is granted via a personal, single-use access code issued to a named email address. Codes are not transferable and may be revoked. Participation creates no entitlement to continued free access, to any service level, or to any future pricing.

6. Your obligations

• You will provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information.
• You will not submit personal data beyond what is necessary, and in particular you will not submit special-category data (Art. 9 GDPR) through the intake form.
• You will not attempt to circumvent access controls, probe, interfere with, or overload the Service, nor use automated means to submit assessments.
• You will not use the Service unlawfully or to develop a competing product.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including the assessment logic, prompts, report templates and design, is our intellectual property. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the reports and policy documents generated for you within your own organisation, including sharing them with your advisers, auditors and competent authorities. You may not resell, publish, or redistribute them, or offer them as part of a service to third parties, without our prior written consent.

The data you submit remains yours.

8. Data protection

Processing of personal data is described in our Datenschutzerklärung. Note in particular: generated reports are stored only as long as necessary to deliver them to you and are deleted automatically 30 days after creation. Report retrieval links expire after 24 hours.

9. Availability

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability and may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time. Maintenance, third-party outages and force majeure may cause interruption.

10. Limitation of liability

We are liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health, for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, in cases of fraudulent concealment of a defect, and under the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), where applicable.

In the case of slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely (Kardinalpflicht). 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. In particular, and to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

• regulatory fines, penalties or enforcement measures imposed on you;
• decisions you take in reliance on the output without obtaining qualified legal advice;
• loss of profit, loss of business, or indirect or consequential loss;
• consequences of inaccurate or incomplete information you supplied.

Where the Service is provided free of charge, our liability is in any event limited to intent and gross negligence.

The above limitations apply equally to our legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents.

11. Term and termination

These Terms apply for the duration of your use of the Service. We may suspend or terminate access with immediate effect if you materially breach these Terms.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms where necessary, for example to reflect changes in law or in the Service. The version in force at the time you use the Service applies. Material changes will be indicated by updating the version and date above.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). To the extent permitted by law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to its economic purpose.
