Terms of Use

1. Scope and Target Group

These Terms of Use apply to the use of the Klaus AI Workspace, operated by Klaus.ai GmbH, Heinersdorferstr 50, 13086 Berlin (hereinafter "Provider").

The platform is intended exclusively for businesses within the meaning of § 14 BGB. A business is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity. Use by consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB is not intended.

By registering and using the platform, you accept these Terms of Use. If you do not accept these terms, you may not use the platform.

2. Service Description

The Klaus AI Workspace provides a sovereign, BRAO-compliant AI assistant service for law firms and legal departments. The platform enables:

• • Interaction with multiple AI models for legal research, contract analysis and brief drafting
• • Creation and management of firm-specific knowledge bases and documents
• • Integration of firm data, workflows and legal software (beA, DMS, case management)
• • Word-native AI output aligned with firm templates and formatting standards
• • AI certification and training via Klaus Academy

The exact scope of services is governed by the individual service agreement. The platform uses AI models from various providers (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral), whose availability is outside the Provider's control.

3. Rights of Use and Obligations

The user receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform within the agreed scope.

The user undertakes to:

• • Use the platform for lawful purposes only
• • Not upload harmful, unlawful, or defamatory content
• • Keep access credentials confidential
• • Not misuse or overload the platform
• • Not deploy automated systems for mass data retrieval

In particular, the user is prohibited from:

• • Using the platform for any illegal purpose
• • Creating disinformation or deliberately false content
• • Creating deepfakes or manipulated media content
• • Creating content that infringes third-party rights (in particular copyright, personality rights, trademarks)
• • Using the platform to circumvent security measures or harm third parties
• • Generating discriminatory, racist, or otherwise dehumanising content

4. Intellectual Property and Output Rights

All rights in the platform, including software, design and trademarks, belong to the Provider or its licensors.

Content entered by the user remains the property of the user. The user grants the Provider the usage rights necessary to provide the service.

Regarding AI-generated outputs: the Provider transfers to the user, to the extent legally possible, all exploitable rights to AI-generated content. The Provider reserves the right to technically develop and improve the platform. No guarantee is given as to the protectability of generated content.

5. Availability and Support

The Provider strives for high platform availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

Service delivery depends on the availability of third-party interfaces (APIs), in particular AI model providers. Disruptions or outages of these third-party services are outside the Provider's control and do not give rise to claims against the Provider.

Maintenance work will be announced where possible. Support is provided in accordance with the agreed service contract.

6. Liability and Disclaimer for AI Content

The Provider is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, as well as for damages arising from injury to life, body or health.

In the case of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for breach of material contractual obligations. Liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.

Liability for indirect damages and loss of profit is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT:
The Provider does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, currency or suitability of AI-generated results. AI models may produce erroneous, incomplete or outdated information ("hallucinations"). The user is obliged to independently verify all AI-generated results for plausibility, accuracy and fitness for purpose before further use. Use of AI outputs is at the user's own risk.

7. Term and Termination

The contract term is governed by the individual service agreement.

Either party reserves the right to terminate for good cause. Good cause includes in particular:

• • Material breach of contract
• • Payment default of more than 30 days
• • Insolvency filing by a party

8. Data Protection and Data Processing

Personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and in compliance with the GDPR.

All data is processed and stored exclusively in EU data centres.

Where the user processes personal data on behalf of others in the course of using the platform (data processing), a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR will be concluded. This governs the specific obligations and rights of both parties in the context of data processing.

9. Amendments to Terms of Use

The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use with reasonable notice. Changes will be communicated to the user by email or upon next login. In the case of material changes, the user has a special right of termination.

10. Final Provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is, to the extent permitted by law, the registered office of the Provider.

Should individual provisions be ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
