Terms of Service

Draft terms governing the use of our managed AI API, private AI nodes and Mac cloud services by business customers.

Draft

Draft — this document requires professional legal review before publication and is not yet binding.

Last updated:

1. Scope and parties

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the provision of services by Lirux [Legal Entity TBD] ("Lirux", "we") to business customers ("Customer", "you"). Our services are offered exclusively to businesses within the meaning of § 14 BGB and comparable provisions, not to consumers.

An individual order form, quote or online order ("Order") specifies the services, plan, fees and term. In case of conflict, the Order prevails over these Terms, and a Data Processing Agreement prevails over both on matters of personal data processing. Your own general terms and conditions do not apply, even if we do not expressly object to them.

2. Services

Depending on the Order, our services may include:

  • Managed AI API — access to open-weight models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints for supported API patterns, on shared infrastructure;
  • Private AI Node — dedicated compute capacity with a managed model deployment and private endpoint;
  • Mac Cloud — dedicated Apple Silicon machines, for example for build and test workloads;
  • Related onboarding, configuration and support services.

The services are provided from our compute region in Georgia unless otherwise agreed. Features, supported models and API compatibility are described in our documentation, which may evolve. We may update the services provided this does not materially reduce the functionality you have ordered.

3. Accounts and API keys

  • You are responsible for keeping your account credentials and API keys confidential and for all use under them.
  • Keys must not be embedded in client-side applications or shared outside your organisation.
  • Notify us without undue delay at [email protected] if you suspect a key has been compromised, and revoke it.
  • You ensure that the information you provide to us is accurate and kept up to date.

4. Acceptable use

You must not use the services to:

  • violate applicable law or third-party rights, including intellectual property and data protection rights;
  • generate or distribute illegal content, including child sexual abuse material;
  • develop malware, conduct attacks on systems, or attempt to circumvent security or usage limits;
  • attempt to access other customers' data or interfere with the operation of the infrastructure;
  • engage in practices prohibited under the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689);
  • violate the licence or acceptable-use terms of the models you use (see section 6).

We may suspend access, to the extent necessary and proportionate, if there is a reasonable suspicion of a material breach or a risk to the security of the infrastructure. We will inform you promptly and, where possible, in advance.

5. Customer data

  • You retain all rights to the input you submit and the output generated for you ("Customer Data"), subject to the rights of third parties and the applicable model licences.
  • We process Customer Data only to provide the services. We do not use Customer Data to train models.
  • Where Customer Data contains personal data, our Data Processing Agreement applies (see DPA). You are responsible for having a legal basis for the data you submit and for any international-transfer requirements arising from the location of our compute region.
  • You are responsible for evaluating whether model output is accurate and suitable for your use. AI-generated output may be incorrect and must be reviewed where it informs decisions.

6. Open-weight model licences

The models we deploy are published by third parties under their own licence terms (for example Apache 2.0, MIT or model-specific community licences, some of which include acceptable-use policies or usage thresholds). These terms pass through to you. You must comply with the licence terms of every model you use, including any attribution, restriction or notification requirements. If you bring your own model, you warrant that you have the rights to deploy it. We make no warranty regarding the licence terms of third-party models.

7. Fees and billing

  • Fees are stated in EUR and exclude VAT, which is charged in addition where applicable.
  • Invoices are issued in EUR. VAT treatment (including reverse charge for EU businesses) depends on the contracting entity and is confirmed during onboarding.
  • Monthly invoices in EUR. Fixed monthly fees are invoiced in advance; usage-based components, if any, in arrears.
  • Invoices are payable within [14 / 30 — to be determined] days. Accepted payment methods: SEPA bank transfer, Card payments (planned).
  • We may suspend services after a written reminder if an undisputed invoice remains unpaid for [X days — to be determined].
  • Price changes for running terms require at least [X weeks — to be determined] notice; you may terminate with effect from the date the change takes effect.

8. Term and termination

  • The term is set out in the Order. Unless otherwise agreed, monthly plans renew automatically for further months and can be cancelled with effect from the end of the current billing period.
  • Dedicated deployments and annual plans run for the minimum term and notice period stated in the Order.
  • The right of either party to terminate for good cause (wichtiger Grund) remains unaffected.
  • After termination, we make Customer Data that we store on your behalf available for export for [X days — to be determined] and then delete it, unless statutory retention obligations apply. Details are set out in the DPA.

9. Availability and support

We operate the services with due care and monitor them continuously. Unless a service level agreement is expressly agreed in an Order, no specific availability is guaranteed. Production SLA options are available for eligible managed deployments. See Service levels.

Planned maintenance is announced in advance where reasonably possible and published on our status page. Support is provided through the channels included in your plan; response times apply only where agreed in the Order.

10. Warranties

We provide the services as described in the Order and documentation. We do not warrant that model output is accurate, complete or fit for a particular purpose, or that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free. Statutory warranty rights apply to the extent they cannot be excluded between businesses. [warranty regime (rental / service contract) to be reviewed by counsel]

11. Limitation of liability (draft)

  • We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act, and where we have given a guarantee.
  • For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes proper performance possible and on which you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
  • In the cases of the preceding paragraph, liability is further limited per contract year to [amount / multiple of annual fees — to be determined].
  • Liability for loss of data is limited to the cost of restoration had appropriate backups been made.
  • These limitations also apply to our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

12. Intellectual property

We and our licensors retain all rights in the services, software, documentation and configurations we provide. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the services for your business purposes during the term. Third- party models remain subject to their respective licences (section 6). Feedback you choose to give may be used by us to improve the services.

13. Confidentiality

Both parties keep confidential all non-public information received from the other party, including security documentation shared during procurement, and use it only for the purpose of the contractual relationship. This obligation continues for [X years — to be determined] after termination.

14. Final provisions

  • Governing law: [to be determined], excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
  • Place of jurisdiction: [to be determined].
  • We may amend these Terms with at least [X weeks — to be determined] notice. If you do not object within that period, the amendment is deemed accepted; we will point this out in the notice.
  • Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected.
