Terms of Use for Starnus Technology B.V. Website
1. Acceptance & Scope
By creating an account, purchasing credits, connecting a third‑party integration, or using any Starnus Service—including our web, desktop, or mobile applications, browser extensions, command‑line tools, APIs, SDKs, agents, or other software (the “Services”)—you ("User" or "you") agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Services. These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and any rules or guidelines we publish in‑product.
2. Eligibility & Account Registration
Minimum age 16. If you are under 18 you must have parental or guardian consent.
Accurate information. You must provide true, complete registration details and keep them updated.
Account security. Keep credentials confidential and notify us of any unauthorised use.
Corporate domains. If you sign up with a company email, that organisation may assume control of your account.
Authority. If you create an account on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.
3. Credit System & Pricing
Each account receives 2 000 free credits on the first day of each calendar month.
Additional credits can be purchased in blocks of 10 000 credits for USD 10 (or local‑currency equivalent) through Stripe.
Credits are pre‑paid, non‑refundable, non‑transferable, and expire 12 months after purchase.
Fees are exclusive of applicable VAT or similar taxes, which you must pay.
4. Licence & Acceptable Use
Starnus grants you a limited, non‑exclusive, revocable licence to access and use the Services for lawful purposes. You agree not to:
Violate any law or regulation.
Infringe the intellectual‑property, privacy, or other rights of others.
Upload or generate content that is fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or otherwise objectionable.
Reverse‑engineer, probe, or bypass any security or rate‑limit.
Use output to train competing AI models or falsely represent AI output as human‑created.
Automatically scrape or extract data or outputs, except through our documented APIs within rate limits.
Create deepfakes or deceptive impersonations prohibited under the EU AI Act.
5. Third‑Party Integrations, Output & Software
When you connect an external app, database, or browser—or invoke a third‑party AI agent—you authorise Starnus to transmit prompts, context, and the minimum data required for functionality.
Third‑party providers act as processors under GDPR and must protect your data, but Starnus is not liable for the accuracy or legality of their output.
Due to the nature of machine learning, output may be non‑unique; other users can receive similar or identical results.
The Services and any downloadable software may update automatically so you always run the latest version.
6. Feedback
We welcome feedback and may use it without restriction or compensation to you.
7. Intellectual Property
We and our licensors retain all rights in the Services, including underlying models and software. You may use Starnus’ name and logo only in accordance with our brand guidelines.
8. Payments & Refunds
Payments are processed by Stripe. Except where required by law, all fees and credit purchases are non‑refundable. If a payment fails, Starnus may suspend access until the balance is settled.
9. Account Deletion
Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone. Deletion ends access to all Services, credits, API keys, and integrations. Your personal data are erased within 30 days except for limited records we must retain by law (e.g., invoices). Unused credits are forfeited.
10. Service Suspension, Termination & Discontinuation
Starnus may suspend or terminate your access if: (a) you breach these Terms or our policies; (b) required by law; or (c) your use poses a security or legal risk. Accounts inactive for 12 months with no paid credit balance may be closed after advance notice. We may discontinue any Service, but will give reasonable advance notice and a pro‑rated refund for prepaid, unused credits.
THE SERVICES AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES—EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY—INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. YOU USE OUTPUT AT YOUR OWN RISK AND SHOULD NOT RELY ON IT AS A SOLE SOURCE OF TRUTH OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STARNUS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) €100 OR (B) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO STARNUS IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. STARNUS IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
13. Indemnification
If you are a business user, you will indemnify and hold Starnus and its affiliates harmless from any claim arising out of your content, integrations, or breach of these Terms.
14. Trade Controls & Export Compliance
You must comply with all applicable export‑control and sanctions laws. The Services may not be used in, for the benefit of, or exported or re‑exported to any country or person subject to embargoes or sanctions, nor for any end use prohibited by law.
15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by Dutch law. The competent courts of Eindhoven have exclusive jurisdiction unless we mutually agree to arbitration under the Netherlands Arbitration Institute rules.
16. Miscellaneous
Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor.
No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.
Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Starnus regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, except any Service‑specific terms that expressly prevail.
