Terms of Service

Provider and Scope

Provider of the Kirla Chronicle service is Not published yet., Platz der Einheit 2, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, registered under Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main, HRB [Nummer wird nach Notarbeurkundung ergänzt].

These terms apply to all contracts between the provider and natural or legal persons using services via the platform. Deviating user terms do not become part of the contract unless the provider expressly agrees in writing.

The provider may amend these terms with at least 30 days' prior notice via email. If the user does not object within 30 days of receiving the notice, the amended terms are considered accepted; the right to object is highlighted in the notice.

Service Description

Kirla Chronicle includes account registration, personalized briefing delivery, news/chat functionality, and related support/security operations.

The provider may evolve the service scope, add or adjust features, provided the contractually agreed core service is not materially impaired.

Contract Formation and Registration

The contract is formed when the user registers on the platform and activates the registration button. By registering, the user confirms having read and accepted these terms as well as the privacy policy.

The user must provide truthful and complete information on registration and keep it current. Only one user account is permitted per person; sharing credentials with third parties is prohibited.

The provider may decline registration without stating reasons or treat false or incomplete information as good cause for termination.

Eligibility and Excluded Users

The service is offered to natural and legal persons located outside the United States of America. Persons resident, habitually resident, or domiciled in the United States (including U.S. territories) and U.S. persons within the meaning of OFAC and U.S. sanctions regulations are not eligible to use the service.

Background: the service is operated from Germany for the European market. Offering it in the United States would trigger additional state-level privacy, consumer protection, and tax obligations that the provider currently does not cover by design. By registering, the user represents that none of the exclusion grounds apply.

The provider reserves the right to decline or terminate accounts and orders if it later becomes apparent that these requirements are not met. Payments already collected in such cases are refunded after deduction of unavoidable processing and payment-handling fees.

Prices, Payment, and Billing

Current prices are listed on the provider's pricing page. All consumer prices include statutory VAT. Current model: wallet-based prepaid credit with transaction-specific consent for immediate digital performance.

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. Annual plans are charged once and do not grant a pro-rata refund after activation. Chat credits (top-up packs) are prepaid balances; monthly included credits expire at the end of the billing period, while separately purchased top-up credits are valid for 12 months from purchase.

Payment is processed via the provider's payment service (currently Stripe). In case of payment default, the provider may suspend access until the outstanding amount is settled. Price changes are announced with at least 30 days' notice; ongoing subscriptions remain protected at the original price until the next renewal.

Term, Termination, and Trial

Monthly subscriptions run for an indefinite term and may be terminated by either party with one day's notice to the end of the billing period. Annual plans are one-time payments with a fixed 12-month term from activation and do not renew automatically.

Terminations can be submitted via account settings on the platform or by email to support@kirla-webservices.com.

Any free trial period (where offered) ends automatically after the stated period; conversion to a paid subscription only occurs upon explicit booking. The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.

Usage Rights and Restrictions

The provider grants the user, for the contract duration, a simple, non-transferable right to use the service for personal or internal business purposes. Internal sharing of briefing content within an organization (e.g. as an internal newsletter) is permitted within the agreed usage scope.

Prohibited in particular: commercial resale or paid provisioning to third parties outside one's own organization, automated queries/scraping/bulk extraction, use to build competing products or systematic knowledge extraction for third parties, circumventing technical protections, and any use violating applicable law or third-party rights.

• No commercial resale, no licensing of briefing content to third parties.
• No use in AI training datasets or benchmarks without express written permission.
• No white-label or reseller arrangements without a separate contract with the provider.
• No representation of generated content as own editorial work in media or PR materials.

AI-Generated Content and Content Liability

Briefing content generated by the service is created using artificial intelligence based on publicly accessible sources. The provider assumes no warranty for accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Content is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, investment, or other professional advice. AI-generated or AI-supported content is labeled accordingly within the service.

Kirla Chronicle aggregates and condenses content from publicly accessible sources; the provider is neither publisher nor content-responsible party in a press-law sense. The user acknowledges that AI-generated summaries may contain errors (so-called hallucinations) and verifies content independently before any material use.

Availability and Operations

The provider aims for high service availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, updates, or operationally required interruptions are announced in advance where possible.

For unplanned service interruptions exceeding 72 hours within a billing period, the user is entitled to a pro-rata credit of the subscription fee for the downtime; further claims are excluded to the extent legally permissible. Briefings are delivered on a best-effort basis at the configured time; delays caused by third-party email infrastructure are outside the provider's control.

Liability

The provider is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, and for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. For simple negligence, the provider is liable only for breach of a material contractual duty (cardinal obligation); in such cases, liability is limited to foreseeable, typical damages.

Otherwise, liability — in particular for indirect damages, lost profits, or data loss — is excluded to the extent legally permissible. The liability limitations also apply in favor of the provider's vicarious agents; liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

Vis-à-vis business customers, total liability for all claims arising in a billing period is limited to the fees paid in that period; liability for indirect or consequential damages, lost profits, or data loss is fully excluded vis-à-vis business customers to the extent legally permissible.

Consumer Notices and Withdrawal

Consumer applicability: Hinweis zur Verbraucher-Anwendbarkeit wird mit der anwaltlich geprüften Fassung der AGB veröffentlicht.

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal under §§ 355 ff. BGB. The withdrawal policy is published separately at /withdrawal and provided before contract conclusion. Before paid digital performance, a separate consent for immediate execution is collected.

The right of withdrawal expires early for digital content not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. annual plans, chat credits) once the provider has begun performance after the consumer has expressly agreed that the right of withdrawal lapses upon commencement of performance (§ 356 para. 5 BGB). For subscription services, withdrawal expires after full performance once the consumer has expressly consented to performance starting before the withdrawal period expires (§ 356 para. 4 BGB).

In case of an effective withdrawal, the provider refunds payments received within 14 days of receipt of the withdrawal notice. Unused and still-valid top-up credits are refunded pro-rata upon termination.

Engagement Credits (Novelty Bonus and Rewards)

Kirla Chronicle uses AI to generate or materially transform content. Relevant outputs are visibly labeled as AI-generated or created with AI unless a provable human-only path is documented.

Engagement credits do not constitute a contractual claim. The provider may discontinue, modify, or adjust such programs at any time without giving rise to damages or other claims; changes are communicated within a reasonable period.

Engagement credits are automatically credited to the credit account upon meeting the eligibility condition and remain valid for 12 months from grant. They are personal, non-transferable, and non-refundable; payout or conversion to cash is excluded. Upon termination or account suspension, remaining engagement credits expire without compensation.

The provider may cap engagement-credit events per user per calendar month. Credits obtained through abusive, automated, or manipulative behavior — in particular systematic topic entry without genuine usage intent for credit generation — may be reversed without notice. Engagement credits are consumed like top-up credits, after the monthly included credits are exhausted.

Data Protection and Service Changes

Personal data is collected and processed in accordance with the provider's privacy policy at /privacy, which forms part of these terms. By registering, the user confirms having taken note of the privacy policy.

The provider may expand, modify, or discontinue features where reasonable for the user. For material restrictions, the user is informed at least 30 days in advance and may terminate extraordinarily upon the change taking effect. Plan and feature adjustments within product development (e.g. new chat models, recalibrated credits) are not considered material service changes as long as the core promise of the plan remains intact.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For disputes with consumers, the consumer's general place of jurisdiction applies in addition, as do mandatory consumer-protection rules of the EU Member State in which the consumer is resident, where more favorable to the consumer.

For disputes with business customers, exclusive jurisdiction is: Not published yet.. Competent court: Not published yet..

The EU Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. The provider is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

The invalidity of individual provisions does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions; an invalid clause is replaced by the closest applicable statutory provision.
