Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of the ComplianceLint platform operated by KI·SUM·AI - Kisum GmbH (“we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms.

ComplianceLint provides AI-powered compliance scanning tools and a web dashboard for tracking compliance with the EU AI Act. The scanner runs locally on your machine via MCP (Model Context Protocol). The dashboard displays compliance findings only — no source code is transmitted.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service with reasonable notice.

As a user of our services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate account information
• Maintain the security of your API keys and credentials
• Use the service in compliance with applicable laws
• Not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or exploit the service
• Not use the service to process data you are not authorized to process

The ComplianceLint scanner is source-available under the BSL 1.1 license.The dashboard platform, proprietary analysis engines, and all associated branding are the intellectual property of KI·SUM·AI - Kisum GmbH.

You retain full ownership of your source code and compliance data. We do not claim any rights to your code or scan results.

ComplianceLint is a software tool for compliance analysis and does not provide legal advice; scan results are not legal opinions. We recommend consulting qualified legal counsel for compliance decisions.

KI·SUM·AI - Kisum GmbH is liable without limitation for: intent and gross negligence of Kisum GmbH, its legal representatives or vicarious agents; injury to life, body or health; liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz); fraudulently concealed defects; expressly assumed written guarantees (§ 444 BGB); and liability under mandatory data protection law (including Art. 82 GDPR).

For breaches of essential contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten) under ordinary negligence, liability is limited to foreseeable, typical damages and, in any event, to the total fees paid by Customer to Kisum GmbH (or its merchant of record) in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Any further liability for ordinary negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Customer is responsible for keeping its API key confidential. Sharing the API key beyond the developer-seat limit of the applicable subscription plan is a breach of these Terms; in such cases Kisum GmbH may, after notice, restrict or revoke access. If Customer suspects compromise of the API key, Customer must regenerate it in the Settings page without delay.

These Terms apply exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB, legal persons under public law, and special funds under public law. ComplianceLint is not directed at consumers (§ 13 BGB) and does not enter into contracts with consumers using the Service for private, non-professional purposes.

By creating an account or placing an order, the Customer represents that it acts as an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB. Mandatory consumer-protection rights, if legally applicable despite such representation, remain unaffected.

(a) Nature and No Legal Advice. ComplianceLint's outputs (compliance findings, action plans, regulatory citations, explanations, gap analyses, PDF exports, “Output”) are informational decision-support material produced through a combination of static rules, deontic logic, and AI-assisted analysis. The Output does not constitute legal advice or a Rechtsdienstleistung within the meaning of the RDG and does not replace review by qualified legal counsel. ComplianceLint is a software tool, not a law firm.

(b) No Warranty of Output. Output is provided “as available”; Kisum GmbH gives no warranty as to legal correctness, completeness, currency, or fitness for any specific regulatory submission. Customer must independently verify Output against primary sources (statute, regulation, official guidance, case law) before relying on it. Statutory rights of Customer regarding the technical provision of the Service itself remain unaffected.

(c) Liability. Liability for claims arising from or related to Output is governed by Section 5 (Limitation of Liability). Customer remains responsible for compliance with applicable law regardless of any Output suggesting compliance.

Payments, invoices, taxes, refunds and chargebacks may be processed by a merchant-of-record provider such as LemonSqueezy. The merchant-of-record terms (see Buyer Terms) govern the payment and resale transaction. Kisum GmbH remains responsible for the operation and provision of the ComplianceLint service under these Terms unless expressly stated otherwise.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. For merchants (Kaufleute), legal persons under public law, and special funds under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be München, Germany, to the extent permitted by law (§ 38 ZPO). For all other users, mandatory consumer protection laws on jurisdiction (including Brussels Ia Regulation Art. 17-19) prevail.

The Service's API outputs and per-customer compliance findings, action plans and exports may not be used by Customer or any third party to train, fine-tune, or augment a machine-learning model that Customer or such third party distributes or commercializes. Material breach of this restriction entitles Kisum GmbH to terminate the agreement for cause and pursue damages under applicable law. The verbatim regulation text quoted in Output (EU AI Act articles, recitals, EUR-Lex citations) is in the public domain and is not subject to this restriction.

Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time through the Customer dashboard with effect at the end of the current billing period. Access continues until the end of the paid period; no refund is issued for the unused portion of the current period.
