Terms of Service

Businesses only: Our products are offered exclusively to businesses within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), that is, to persons and organisations that use them for their trade, business or profession. By signing up and with every purchase you confirm that you act as a business. We do not sell to consumers.

In addition to these terms, we published the Privacy Policy that describes how we process, collect, use, and protect your information.

Our Mission and Business Model

Our mission is to turn the knowledge a company already has into courses people actually watch.

If a new requirement reaches your whole workforce in days instead of months, we have succeeded.

We offer free and paid products and hope you'll purchase one of our paid products. We don't sell your data.

Paid Accounts

Billing: You can upgrade your account to access paid features, which would turn your account into a paid account. When you do that, we'll automatically bill you from the date you convert to a paid account and on each periodic renewal until cancellation. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, and we'll charge tax when required. Some countries have mandatory local laws regarding your cancellation rights, and this paragraph doesn't override these laws.

Refunds: You may cancel your paid account at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. We do not refund amounts already paid unless the law requires it.

Downgrades: Your paid account will remain in effect until it's canceled or terminated under these terms. If you don't pay for your paid account on time, we reserve the right to suspend it or reduce your access to the free version of our products.

Free trials: We may offer a free trial membership. If you are using a free trial membership and cancel it before the end of the trial period, all your rights to any remaining free trial period will end (unless you started your trial via our website, in which case your trial will continue until the end of the trial period). If you do not cancel before the end of the trial period, your paid subscription starts automatically and you will be charged. Typically, we will only offer one free trial per user.

Changes: We may change the fees in effect but will give you advance notice before those changes take effect. Any change in prices will apply to your next billing cycle.

Web Purchases: When you buy a subscription or video credits on our website, your contracting party is Aether Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt). Payment is processed by our payment service provider Stripe; we issue your invoice. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in the app under "Plan & billing" or by writing to info@learnfluence.ai; your access then continues until the end of the current billing period.

Your Ownership of Your Data and the Limited Permissions You Give Us

User Content refers to the text and documents you enter, upload, and transmit when you use our products.

You own your User Content; Learnfluence doesn't own it. To provide our products to you, we need your permission (in legal language, a license) to use your User Content.

You grant us a license to your User Content for the limited purposes of:

• Operating, providing, troubleshooting, and debugging our products;
• Protecting our products (for example, to analyze patterns in usage to prevent abuse);
• Customizing our products for you (for example, to create personalized suggestions for you).

The license you give us is only for the above purposes. That means we will not sell or license your User Content to third parties, we will not use it for advertising, and neither we nor our AI providers will use it to train AI models.

We may use anonymised and aggregated data about the use of our products, from which neither you nor your User Content can be identified, to improve our products.

The license you grant us is:

• Worldwide (so you can access your User Content from anywhere in the world);
• Non-exclusive (meaning you own your User Content and can also license it to other people or companies);
• Royalty-free (meaning we don't pay you for it); and
• For as long as you use our products and until your User Content is deleted.

The license you give us allows us to—solely for the purposes outlined above—store, reproduce, use, publish, and publicly display (to show your User Content to you), modify, and create derivative works of (such as generating lessons and explainer videos from your documents) your User Content. The license you give us also permits our service providers to assist us in doing this.

Learnfluence does not own, control, verify, or endorse User Content. You are responsible for all of your User Content. That means you should back up all your User Content and not do anything illegal or harmful with it (including violate any intellectual property or trade secret laws).

Our Intellectual Property Rights and License to You

Some of our products allow you to download client software. So long as you comply with these terms, we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our client software solely to access the products.

Our products are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for this limited license, we reserve all right, title, and interest in our products, trademarks, logos, and other brand features. We welcome feedback, but you agree that we can use that feedback without restriction or any obligation to you.

Limitations on Use and Responsibilities

Acceptable Use Policy: You must comply with our acceptable use policy when you use our products.

Keeping your account information up to date and safe: You are responsible for safeguarding your password to our products. Don't share your account credentials or give others access to your account. We will use your account email address to contact you about our products, so you must ensure that your account information stays current.

Minimum age requirements: To use our products, you must be at least 13 if you reside in the United States and 16 if you reside anywhere else. If the law where you reside requires that you are older for us to lawfully provide our products to you without parental consent (including using your information), you must be that age. You may not use our products if you don't meet these age requirements.

Objectionable Content and Abusive Behavior

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Objectionable content includes, without limitation, content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, hateful, discriminatory, violent, or otherwise offensive.

You agree not to use our products to create, submit, request, or share objectionable content, or to harass, abuse, threaten, or harm any person.

To keep our community safe:

• All content created in our products passes through automated filtering designed to block objectionable content.
• You can report ("flag") any content you believe is objectionable directly in the app.
• You can block any user whose content you do not want to see; blocked content is removed from your view immediately, and we are notified of the block.
• We review reports promptly and remove content that violates these terms. For serious or repeated violations, we suspend the accounts concerned.

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our products with notice to you if:

• you have breached these terms or our acceptable user policy,
• you use the products in a manner that would cause a real risk of harm or loss to other users or us, or
• you don't have a paid account and haven't accessed our products for 12 consecutive months.

Before suspending or terminating your account, we'll (1) provide you with reasonable advance notice via the email address associated with your account so you can try to remedy the activity that prompted us to contact you and (2) allow you to export your documents from our products. If you fail to take the steps we ask of you after such notice, we'll terminate or suspend your access to our products.

We won't provide notice before termination where we believe that:

• you're in material breach of these terms or our acceptable user policy,
• doing so would cause us legal liability or compromise our ability to provide our products to our other users, or
• the law prohibits us from providing notice.

When this agreement terminates for any reason, all the sections one would expect to survive will survive, including, but not limited to, "Warranty Disclaimers," "Limitation of Liability," "Resolving Disputes," "Miscellaneous Legal Terms," "Our Intellectual Property Rights and License," and "Paid Accounts."

Discontinuation and Modification of Products

We are continually changing and improving our products, and we may add or remove features or functionality. If we discontinue a product, where reasonably possible we will give you reasonable advance notice and a chance to download your stored User Content.

Open Source Software, Reverse Engineering, and Automatic Updates

To the extent any component of our Software may be offered under open-source license terms that we make available to you. The provisions of open-source licenses may expressly override some of these terms.

Unless the following restrictions are prohibited by law, you agree not to reverse engineer or decompile our products, attempt to do so, or assist anyone in doing so. Our products may update themselves automatically to ensure you're using the latest version.

Third-Party Websites

Any links to third-party websites or apps are provided for your convenience only and are subject to the third party's terms. Learnfluence isn't responsible or liable for those websites, products, or services.

Beta Products

We sometimes release products and features that we are still testing and evaluating. We will mark these products with the words "beta," "preview," "early access," or "evaluation" (or with words or phrases with similar meanings). If you decide to use them, please remember that they may not be as reliable or as thoroughly tested as our other products. To improve and evaluate these products, we will log and analyze information about how you use and interact with them.

Warranty

Statutory warranty rights apply. AI-generated content may contain errors. We don't warrant its factual accuracy; please review content before you use it.

Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee.

For slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, we are liable only for the typical, foreseeable damage. An essential obligation is one whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely. Towards businesses, this liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the damage, but at least EUR 1,000.

Otherwise, our liability for slight negligence is excluded. For loss of data, we are liable only for the effort that restoring it would have required had you backed it up regularly. These rules also apply to our legal representatives, employees and agents.

Resolving Disputes

Let's try to work things out first. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us first at info@learnfluence.ai; we will try to find a solution with you.

Place of jurisdiction: If you are a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the courts of Berlin have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising from these terms or relating to our products. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

Controlling Law

These terms 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 another country, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection of mandatory provisions of that country.

Miscellaneous Legal Terms

Entire Agreement

These terms make up the entire agreement between you and Learnfluence, regarding your use of our products. They supersede any prior agreements.

Waiver, Severability, and Assignment

Learnfluence's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect, and an enforceable term will be substituted with the goal of reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these terms, and any such attempt will be void. Learnfluence may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries or any successor in interest of any business associated with the products.

Modifications to These Terms

From time to time, we may revise these terms to, for example, reflect changes to the law, new regulations, and changes to our products.

If an update significantly negatively affects your use of our products or your legal rights as a user of our products, we'll notify you before the update's effective date by sending an email to the email address associated with your account or via an in-product notification. We will give you at least 30 days after that notice before the update takes effect.

We may also update these terms in ways that won't significantly negatively affect your rights. For example, we may change the features or product names or change the email address you can use to contact us. In those cases, we will post the change to our website and link to the previous version.

If you don't agree to the updates we make, you must cancel your account before they become effective. Where required, we'll offer you a prorated refund based on the amounts you have prepaid for our products and your account cancellation date. By using or accessing the products after the updates come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
