Terms of Use (EULA)

1. Scope

These Terms of Use govern the use of the app AIToAsk (hereinafter "App"). By installing and using the App, you agree to these terms. In addition, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies.

The privacy practices are described in our separate Privacy Policy.

2. Description of the App

AIToAsk is a client/interface that enables you to use the OpenAI API under your own account — without programming skills, on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The App:

provides a user interface for the OpenAI API
stores data locally on your device by default (with optional features such as Knowledge Base or Cloud Memory, content may additionally be stored in your OpenAI account)
does not operate its own servers for content processing
has no access to your content or your OpenAI account

3. Requirements

To use the App you need:

An Apple device with compatible iOS
Your own OpenAI API key (available at https://platform.openai.com)
Acceptance of OpenAI's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
An internet connection

4. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) — Your OpenAI Contract

4.1 Separate Contractual Relationship

By entering your OpenAI API key, you use OpenAI's services under your own OpenAI account and the terms you have agreed to with OpenAI. We are not a party to this contractual relationship between you and OpenAI.

4.2 Your Responsibility

You are responsible for:

Managing and securing your API key. Do not share it with third parties.
Monitoring your API usage and associated costs. We have no influence on and no knowledge of your actual API costs.
Complying with OpenAI's Terms of Use when using the App.
The content you transmit to OpenAI via the App (text, voice, documents).

4.3 Costs

The App itself is free to use. Costs arise exclusively from your use of the OpenAI API, billed directly by OpenAI through your account. We receive no share and have no knowledge of your costs.

5. Cost Estimation and Token Display

The token usage calculation and cost estimate displayed in the App is an approximate, non-binding figure calculated locally on your device.

Actual costs may differ from the in-app estimate.
OpenAI may change pricing at any time without prior notice.
Token counting is an approximation; OpenAI may use different methods.
We strongly recommend regularly checking your actual usage at https://platform.openai.com/usage.
In-app figures do not replace OpenAI's official billing and are legally non-binding.

6. Use at Your Own Risk

6.1 General

The use of AIToAsk is at your own responsibility and your own risk. The App merely provides an interface for using the OpenAI API.

6.2 No Professional Advice

AI-generated responses do not constitute professional advice. In particular, they are not:

Legal advice
Medical advice or diagnosis
Tax or financial advice
Psychological counseling
Any other form of professional advice

AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, outdated, or misleading information. You should always critically review AI-generated content and consult qualified professionals for important decisions.

6.3 Sensitive Data

We strongly advise against entering special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR via the App (health data, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, etc.). Such inputs are made under your own responsibility.

7. Responsibility Regarding OpenAI

Data processing by OpenAI is subject exclusively to OpenAI's own policies and terms:

OpenAI may change its privacy policies, terms of use, pricing, and technical conditions at any time and without prior notice. We have no influence over this.
It is your responsibility to stay informed about OpenAI's current terms.
Objects stored at OpenAI (files, Vector Stores) reside in your OpenAI account and are subject to OpenAI's terms.

8. Limitation of Liability

8.1 Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and subject to mandatory consumer protection provisions, we disclaim liability for:

AI response content: We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of responses generated by OpenAI.
Data loss: We are not liable for the loss of locally stored data (e.g., due to device failure, iOS updates, or uninstallation).
Costs at OpenAI: We are not liable for API costs incurred through use of the App.
Availability: We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the App or OpenAI services.
Data processing by OpenAI: We are not liable for how OpenAI processes, stores, or deletes your data.

8.2 Liability for Breach of Essential Contractual Obligations

In cases of slight negligence in breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), our liability is limited to the typically foreseeable damage. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance you may regularly rely.

8.3 Mandatory Law

The above limitations of liability do not apply insofar as mandatory law — in particular consumer protection law — provides for liability. In particular, claims arising from intent, gross negligence, and injury to life, body, or health remain unaffected.

9. License Grant

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on your Apple devices for its intended purpose, in accordance with these Terms of Use and the Apple EULA terms.

10. Intellectual Property

The App AIToAsk, including its design, code, logos, and trademarks, is protected by copyright. Reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of the App is prohibited except to the extent permitted by mandatory law.

11. Acceptable Use and Prohibitions

You agree to use the App exclusively in compliance with applicable law. In particular, the following is prohibited:

Using the App to create, distribute, or store illegal content (e.g., hate speech, glorification of violence, child exploitation material, copyright infringement).
Misuse of the App or the OpenAI API (e.g., automated mass scraping, denial-of-service attacks, circumventing security mechanisms).
Violations of the OpenAI Usage Policies (https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies).
Using the App to create content that violates the personal rights of third parties.
Reselling, sublicensing, or commercially distributing the App or access to it.

We reserve the right to take appropriate measures upon becoming aware of violations, including but not limited to discontinuation of support, refusal of future updates, or initiation of legal proceedings.

12. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our employees, and representatives from all claims, costs, and damages arising from:

Your use of the App in violation of these Terms of Use,
Content you transmit to OpenAI via the App,
Your violations of OpenAI's Terms of Use or applicable law.

This indemnification does not apply to the extent mandatory consumer protection law provides otherwise.

13. Termination

You may terminate your use of the App at any time by uninstalling it.

We recommend that before uninstalling you:

Remove your API key in the App settings
Delete documents and memory data in the App (to also remove them from OpenAI)

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use with reasonable advance notice. We will inform you of material changes via an app update or in-app notice. Where a change requires your consent, we will obtain it separately. Continued use of the App after being informed of non-consent-requiring changes constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers habitually resident in the EU, the mandatory provisions of the respective country of residence additionally apply.

16. Severability

Should any provision of these Terms of Use be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

17. Consumer Dispute Resolution

Notice pursuant to § 36 German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG): We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
