Terms of Service (AGB)

This English version is a convenience translation of the German Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen (AGB). If the two differ, the German version is the legally binding one.

for the use of the service "Slaide" (slaide.de / app.slaide.de)

As of: June 2026

§ 1 Scope and Provider

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "Terms") apply to the use of the online service "Slaide" (hereinafter "Service"), which is provided through the websites slaide.de and app.slaide.de, by consumers within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) (hereinafter "User").

(2) The provider and contracting party is:

Nathalie Scholl (sole proprietorship)
Im Zukunftspark 4, 74076 Heilbronn, Germany
E-mail: info@slaide.de
In accordance with § 19 UStG (small business regulation), no value-added tax is shown.

(hereinafter "Provider").

(3) The version of these Terms valid at the time the contract is concluded applies in each case. Deviating, conflicting or supplementary terms of the User become part of the contract only if and to the extent that the Provider has expressly agreed to their application in text form.

(4) The Service is aimed at consumers and is offered primarily for the German market. Use requires that the User is of full age (at least 18 years old) and has unrestricted legal capacity. Mandatory consumer protection under the law of the state of the User's habitual residence remains unaffected (see § 13).

§ 2 Description of the Service

(1) Slaide is a web-based application for the AI-assisted creation and editing of documents (in particular presentations/slides, reports, PDF documents and spreadsheets). In an order that the User types in, the User describes the desired result; an AI model produces a designed document from it, which can be displayed live in the browser, edited, exported as PDF and shared through a link (with a randomly generated slug).

(2) The User can optionally upload their own files (for example PDF, Word or Excel files or images) as the basis for the content. The Service also has a web research function in which the AI model retrieves publicly accessible web pages in order to process the order.

(3) AI notice (important): The content produced by the Service is generated automatically by AI models. It can be incorrect, incomplete, outdated, misleading or entirely invented (so-called "hallucinations"). The Provider gives no warranty for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, lawfulness or suitability of the results for a particular purpose. The User is obliged to check all results on their own responsibility before using them. The results are not legal, tax, medical or other professional advice and do not replace it.

(4) The Service is a pure tool service. The Provider owes the provision of the functionality, not a particular result in terms of content and not the correctness of the documents produced with the tool.

(5) The scope of functions is developed continuously. There is no claim to the permanent existence of individual functions, provided that the essential scope of services owed under the contract is not affected.

§ 3 Registration and User Account

(1) Use of the Service requires setting up a user account. Registration is done by giving a valid e-mail address or, alternatively, through a sign-in service (Google or Apple login).

(2) To activate the account, the e-mail address must be confirmed (e-mail verification). The one-time free document allowance (see § 5) is only unlocked after successful verification.

(3) The data given at registration must be true, complete and up to date. The User must treat their access data confidentially and protect it from access by third parties. The User is responsible for all activities carried out through their account unless they are not responsible for the misuse.

(4) In principle only one account per person is permitted. The Provider is entitled to block or delete accounts in the event of violations of these Terms or abusive use (in particular to circumvent usage limits). The User's rights under paid contracts already concluded, as well as any refund claims in the event of a block for which the User is not responsible, remain unaffected.

§ 4 Obligations and Prohibitions for Users

(1) The User undertakes not to use the Service for unlawful purposes.

(2) In particular, the User may not upload, enter, generate or share any content that

• violates applicable law, third-party rights (for example copyright, trademark, personality or data protection rights) or public morals,
• contains malware,
• contains personal data of third parties without the required legal basis,
• is harmful to minors, glorifies violence, is discriminatory, insulting or otherwise unlawful.

(3) The User warrants that they hold the necessary rights in all content they upload or enter to permit its processing by the Service (including transmission to the processors named in the privacy policy for AI-assisted processing).

(4) The User alone remains responsible for the accuracy, legal permissibility and use of the documents produced.

(5) The User indemnifies the Provider against all claims of third parties that they assert against the Provider because of a culpable breach of the above obligations for which the User is responsible, including reasonable costs of necessary legal defence. The indemnification does not apply to the extent that the User is not responsible for the breach of duty.

§ 5 Plans, Prices and Credit Model

(1) Use of the Service is based on "Credits". Credits are the internal unit of consumption of the Service; their consumption depends on the scope of the respective generation. In the display, one Credit corresponds to a calculated equivalent value of about one cent. Credits are not legal tender, cannot be transferred to third parties and cannot be paid out in cash.

(2) All prices below are final prices. In accordance with § 19 UStG (small business regulation), no value-added tax is shown.

Free (free of charge)

• Price: €0.
• One free document with three fully generated pages, one-time after verified registration. The structure can plan up to twelve pages ahead; pages that are not generated remain visible as a locked plan. No starting credit balance, no subscription, no automatic monthly refill. Further documents require Credits, which arise from invitations, promo codes or a paid plan.
• A maximum of 3 generated pages per document; the plan can cover up to 12 pages.
• Exports carry a watermark ("Created with Slaide").

Slaide Plus

• €7.99 per month (monthly billing) or €5.99 per month with annual prepayment (equivalent to €71.88 per year, billed in advance for twelve months).
• 800 Credits per month; a maximum of 12 pages per document; no watermark.

Slaide Pro

• €17.99 per month (monthly billing) or €14.99 per month with annual prepayment (equivalent to €179.88 per year, billed in advance for twelve months).
• 1,800 Credits per month; unlimited number of pages; no watermark.

Slaide Max

• €59.99 per month (monthly billing) or €45.99 per month with annual prepayment (equivalent to €551.88 per year, billed in advance for twelve months).
• 7,000 Credits per month; unlimited number of pages; no watermark.

Pay-as-you-go (optional, not a subscription)

• The User can save a payment method and choose a monthly limit of at least €5 (practically unlimited upwards).
• If the available balance is not sufficient for a run, only the actual usage beyond the balance is charged, up to the chosen monthly limit at most.
• Pay-as-you-go can be deactivated at any time and does not create an automatically renewing subscription.

(3) Credit model and expiry: The Credits granted within a subscription (Plus/Pro/Max) are reset to the respective monthly allowance at the start of each billing period; an unused subscription portion expires at the end of the period (no rollover). For an annually billed subscription, the monthly allowance is made available again at the start of each contract month. One-time welcome and referral Credits do not expire. Pay-as-you-go settles the usage of a run that has already been carried out and does not create an additional Credit balance.

(4) The Provider reserves the right to adjust prices, allowances and the Credit model with effect for the future. For ongoing subscriptions, § 12 (Amendments to these Terms) applies. The allowance that applies to a billing period that has already been paid for and is running remains unaffected by changes in prices and allowances.

§ 6 Conclusion of Contract, Payment and Button Solution

(1) The presentation of the plans and of pay-as-you-go in the Service is not a binding offer but an invitation to submit an offer.

(2) By selecting a paid plan and clicking the correspondingly labelled button, the User submits a binding offer to conclude the respective contract. In accordance with § 312j (3) BGB, the final button is labelled "subscribe with obligation to pay" or a correspondingly unambiguous wording. Before pay-as-you-go is activated, the User separately confirms the automatic charging of actual additional usage and the monthly limit they have set. In accordance with § 312j (2) BGB, immediately before the order is placed the Provider points out clearly and comprehensibly the essential characteristics of the service, the total price and, where applicable, the minimum term and the conditions of automatic renewal.

(3) The contract is concluded when the Provider confirms the order or provides the service.

(4) Payment processing: Payments are processed through the payment service provider Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. / Stripe, Inc.). Stripe's terms and privacy notices apply in addition. The receipt or invoice is provided through Stripe. The available payment methods (for example credit card) are shown in the order process.

(5) Automatic renewal and cancellation: Subscriptions (Plus/Pro/Max) renew automatically after the chosen term (monthly or annual) has ended, by a further period of the same length, unless they are cancelled beforehand. The User can cancel the subscription at any time, ordinarily, with effect at the end of the current billing period; no notice period is required. Cancellation is done in self-service through the Stripe customer portal, which is linked in the account settings; alternatively, cancellation can be declared informally in text form to the e-mail address named in § 1 (2). The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. Fees already paid for the current period are not refunded pro rata unless a right of withdrawal (§ 7) applies or a refund is required by law. Pay-as-you-go can be deactivated at any time in the account settings, independently of this.

§ 7 Withdrawal Instructions for Consumers

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us

Nathalie Scholl, Im Zukunftspark 4, 74076 Heilbronn, Germany, e-mail: info@slaide.de

of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear statement (for example a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this, but it is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send the notification of your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we must reimburse all payments we have received from you without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this reimbursement we use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged fees because of this reimbursement.

If you have requested that the service begin during the withdrawal period, you must pay us a reasonable amount that corresponds to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time at which you inform us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal from this contract, compared with the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

Notes on the right of withdrawal for subscriptions (Plus/Pro/Max)

(1) Subscriptions (Plus/Pro/Max) are contracts for the provision of services. The User can demand that the service begin before the withdrawal period has expired (immediate usability of the Service after conclusion). For this the Provider requests the User's express consent in the order process.

(2) If the User withdraws from such a contract after having given the aforementioned consent, they owe compensation under § 357 (8) BGB for the service already provided up to the withdrawal, calculated pro rata on the basis of the total price agreed in the contract (see "Consequences of withdrawal"). Otherwise, payments made are refunded.

(3) The right of withdrawal for a subscription contract expires under § 356 (4) BGB only if the Provider has provided the service completely and began performance only after the User gave their express consent and at the same time confirmed their knowledge that they lose their right of withdrawal upon complete performance of the contract. In the case of a continuing subscription billed periodically, the service is regularly not completely provided during the current period; the right of withdrawal then does not expire early, and paragraph 2 (compensation) applies instead.

(4) The Provider obtains the consents and confirmations of knowledge named in the preceding paragraphs in the order process and documents them.

§ 8 Rights of Use and Intellectual Property

(1) The User's inputs: The User retains all rights in the content they upload or enter (hereinafter "Inputs"). They grant the Provider a simple right of use in the Inputs, limited in space and time to the duration of the contractual relationship and necessary for providing the Service. This includes in particular storing, processing and transmitting the Inputs to the processors used to provide the service (see privacy policy), to the extent that this is necessary to process the order. The Provider does not use the Inputs to train its own or third-party AI models; further details and any requirements placed on the service providers used are set out in the privacy policy.

(2) Results produced: As between the parties, the results produced (documents, exports) belong to the User; they may use them freely within the limits of applicable law. Any rights that the Provider holds in results are transferred or licensed by the Provider to the User to the extent necessary for use in accordance with the contract.

(3) Note on protectability: Results generated solely by AI may, under the current legal situation, not be protected by copyright. The Provider gives no warranty that intellectual property rights arise in the results produced in favour of the User or that the results do not infringe third-party rights. Checking the legal usability is the User's responsibility.

(4) Trademarks, logos, software and the design of the Service itself remain with the Provider or the respective rights holders. The User consents to the free export watermark ("Created with Slaide") for the duration of free use.

§ 9 Availability and Maintenance

(1) The Provider endeavours to keep the Service available as much as possible but does not owe uninterrupted availability. No particular availability rate is assured.

(2) Restrictions can result in particular from necessary maintenance work, technical faults, measures of service providers used, capacity limits or force majeure. The Provider will, where possible, schedule foreseeable maintenance work for times of low use.

(3) If the Service is unavailable to a paying User for a significant period for reasons for which the Provider is responsible, the statutory warranty rights (in particular for digital products under §§ 327 et seq. BGB), including any claims to a reduction or refund, remain unaffected.

§ 10 Liability

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for damages from injury to life, body or health that are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty, as well as for other damages that are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Provider or its legal representatives or vicarious agents.

(2) In the case of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment is what makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the User regularly may rely, "cardinal obligation"), the Provider's liability is limited to the damage typical for the contract and foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded.

(3) In the case of a slightly negligent breach of non-essential contractual obligations, the Provider's liability is excluded.

(4) The above limitations of liability do not apply to the extent that the Provider has fraudulently concealed a defect or has given a guarantee, nor to liability under the Product Liability Act and to claims under mandatory statutory provisions.

(5) AI-related clarification: With regard to § 2 (3), the Provider points out that the results produced are generated automatically and can contain errors. For damage that is based on the User having used a result produced without checking it, the Provider is liable only in accordance with the preceding paragraphs; no further warranty of success or correctness is given. Paragraphs 1 to 4 remain unaffected.

(6) To the extent that the Provider's liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of the Provider's employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

§ 11 Data Protection

Information on the processing of personal data, on the processors used, on third-country transfers (in particular to the USA) and on data subject rights is contained in the Provider's separately provided privacy policy.

§ 12 Amendments to these Terms

(1) The Provider is entitled to amend these Terms with effect for the future where this is necessary for a compelling reason (for example a change in the legal situation, supreme-court case law, an extension or change of the range of services, technical developments) and the User is not thereby unreasonably disadvantaged contrary to the requirements of good faith.

(2) Amendments will be notified to the User in text form (for example by e-mail) at least six weeks before their planned entry into force. In doing so, the Provider will make the amended terms and the date of entry into force clear.

(3) If the amendments affect the main performance promise, the value for money or other essential components of the contract, they only become effective if the User expressly (actively) agrees to them. If the User does not agree, either party can cancel the subscription at the time the amendment is planned to take effect; until then the previous terms continue to apply.

(4) For other amendments that do not disadvantage the User or disadvantage them only insignificantly, they are deemed approved if the User does not object to them in text form within six weeks after receipt of the notification. The Provider will point out this consequence and the right to object separately in the notification. If the User objects in good time, the contractual relationship continues on the previous terms; in that case both parties are entitled to cancel the subscription at the next possible time.

§ 13 Applicable Law and Place of Jurisdiction

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. As against a consumer, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of the protection granted to them by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of their habitual residence.

(2) No special place of jurisdiction is agreed as against consumers; the statutory provisions apply.

(3) Consumer dispute resolution: The EU Commission's OS platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025; a link is therefore omitted. The Provider is not obliged and in principle not willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

§ 14 Final Provisions

(1) Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The statutory provisions take the place of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

(2) Amendments and additions to the contract require text form. This also applies to the waiver of this text-form requirement. Individual contractual agreements and mandatory statutory formal requirements remain unaffected and take precedence.
