Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 2026

This is a courtesy translation. The German version is legally binding.

Section 1 Scope of Application & Provider

These Terms and Conditions apply to the use of the service KI-Kennzeichnung (hereinafter the "Service"), provided by Hoser & Giessler GbR, Marcobrunnerstraße 4, 65197 Wiesbaden. Deviating terms proposed by the user only apply with our express written consent.

Section 2 Subject of the Service

The Service enables visible and machine-readable labeling of image and video files within the meaning of the transparency obligations of the EU AI Act (Art. 50). The scope of functionality depends on the plan chosen (Free, Pro, Enterprise). We continuously develop the Service and may add or change features.

Section 3 Free Plan & Paid Plans

The free plan is available at no charge for labeling images. Paid plans (Pro, Enterprise) are billed at the prices stated when the contract is concluded; all prices are subject to statutory value added tax.

Section 4 User Obligations

The user warrants that they are authorized to process the uploaded content and that they will not upload any unlawful content. Responsibility for complying with statutory labeling obligations, in particular under the EU AI Act, remains with the user or the respective provider or operator of the content. The Service is a tool and does not replace legal advice.

Section 5 Availability

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee it under the free plan. Deviating service levels (SLA) can be agreed for Enterprise customers.

Section 6 No Warranty for Labeling Results

The Service is provided without warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or legal suitability of the labels it generates, on an "as is" basis. Icons, metadata and watermarks are implemented to the best of our knowledge based on the official EU specifications, but they do not replace a case-by-case review or legal advice. Whether a label meets the statutory requirements in a specific case is for the user to assess on their own responsibility. For damages arising from reliance on the results of the Service, or from a missing, incorrect or incomplete label, the limitation of liability under Section 7 applies.

Section 7 Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. In the case of ordinary negligence, we are only liable for breach of a material contractual obligation, a cardinal obligation, and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability is otherwise excluded.

Section 8 Term & Termination

The free plan can be terminated at any time without giving reasons. Paid plans run for the selected billing period and can be terminated at the end of that period.

Section 9 Final Provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
