Terms & Conditions

§ 1Scope

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) apply to the provision and use of the “OwnAI” software (the “Software”) and to the purchase of licenses via the website www.ownai.info and any connected payment service providers.

Deviating terms of the user shall not be recognized unless the provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§ 2Provider & Contracting Party

The contracting party and provider of the Software is:

Further details can be found in the Legal Notice.

§ 3Description of Service

OwnAI is a desktop application that runs locally on the user’s device, providing, among other things, chat, document analysis (RAG), web search, a coding agent, and optional generative media features (e.g. images, video, music, and local image-to-3D meshes). AI processing takes place on the user’s local hardware — with the exception of expressly marked optional online features (e.g. web search, model download, optional cloud AI via third-party providers such as OpenRouter).

Language models (LLMs) and optional generative model packs (including image-to-3D weights) are not part of the delivery and are obtained by the user independently from third-party providers (e.g. Hugging Face). Upstream model licenses apply in addition to these Terms.

The Software is provided as a downloadable archive without an installer. System requirements are described on the website.

§ 4Conclusion of Contract

The presentation of the Software on the website does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation to submit an offer. By completing the order process, the user submits a binding offer to purchase a license.

Sales and payment processing may be carried out via the payment service provider Lemon Squeezy (as Merchant of Record), who may act as a reseller (“Merchant of Record”). In this case, the terms of that provider may also apply.

The contract is concluded upon receipt of the order confirmation or upon provision of the license key by email.

§ 5Prices & Payment

The prices stated on the website at the time of ordering apply. Prices include statutory value-added tax where applicable.

Payment is made using the payment methods offered during the order process. The license key is provided after successful receipt of payment.

§ 6License & Usage Rights

OwnAI is proprietary software. The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted remain with the provider. The Software is not open-source and is not licensed under the MIT License or any other open-source license.

The user receives a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use the Software in object-code form for their own internal purposes, in the purchased license tier. A perpetual purchase license entitles the user to permanent use of the purchased major version on up to the number of devices stated for that tier (see § 8).

The user is, in particular, prohibited from:

• copying, distributing, publishing, renting, leasing, lending, selling, sublicensing, or otherwise transferring the Software;
• passing on, selling or publishing the license key;
• making the Software available to third parties (including as a hosted service, SaaS, or shared installation) without the provider’s prior written consent;
• using the Software on more than the licensed number of devices;
• circumventing technical protection or licensing measures;
• reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling the Software, unless mandatorily permitted by law;
• removing or altering proprietary notices or third-party attribution required to be retained with the Software.

Third-party components bundled with the Software remain subject to their own licenses and notices; those terms do not grant any additional rights in the provider’s proprietary code.

In the event of abusive use or unauthorized distribution, the provider is entitled to block or revoke the relevant license.

§ 7Trial Version

The provider may offer a free trial version. The trial period is limited to 30 days from first activation on the respective device. After the trial period expires, a license must be purchased for continued use.

The free trial does not constitute a paid purchase contract. No statutory right of withdrawal arises from using the free trial alone, because no payment is made for it. A purchase during or after the trial creates a separate paid license contract (see § 4 and § 9).

The trial period is device-bound and cannot be reset by reinstalling or deleting local data. There is no entitlement to the provision or extension of a trial version.

§ 8Activation & Devices

Activation of a license is performed online and binds the license to a device-specific, pseudonymous hardware identifier (HWID hash). A license may be active on 1 device at a time.

When changing devices, the user can release a device via the “Deactivate this device” function and activate the license on another device. A one-time internet connection is required for this.

§ 9Right of Withdrawal for Consumers

Withdrawal Right Information (Widerrufsbelehrung)

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal from a paid license contract without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day of conclusion of that paid contract (order / purchase of the license), not from the start of a free trial and not from the end of the trial period.

Using the free trial (§ 7) does not start, shorten or replace this 14-day period. If you purchase a license during or after the trial, the 14-day period begins only when that paid purchase contract is concluded.

Where sales are processed via Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record, you may also need to exercise withdrawal towards that provider in accordance with the information given at checkout; the statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (iMedia Consulting GmbH, Wallbergstr. 3, 82024 Taufkirchen, Email: contact@ownai.info) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of an unequivocal declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not mandatory.

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

Effects of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall refund all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than within 14 days from the day of our receipt of your notification of withdrawal. For the refund we shall use the same means of payment as you used for the original transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.

Loss of Withdrawal Right for Digital Content

The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the supply has begun with your express prior consent and you have acknowledged that thereby you forfeit your right of withdrawal.

For OwnAI this means, with respect to a paid license: If, after purchase, you download or activate the paid license (or otherwise request that performance of the paid digital content begin) and you have expressly confirmed that performance may begin before the end of the withdrawal period and that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, your right of withdrawal for that paid contract expires.

Activation or use of the free trial alone does not cause you to lose a withdrawal right for a later paid purchase. Any loss of withdrawal rights for a paid purchase applies only to that paid contract and only under the conditions stated above.

§ 10Updates & Availability

The provider may make updates available but is only obliged to do so to the extent provided by law. Where offered, updates are delivered via a service operated by the provider and are cryptographically signed.

The license and activation server is operated with reasonable care. Uninterrupted availability is not owed. A license, once activated, remains usable locally during temporary unavailability of the server.

§ 11Warranty

The statutory warranty provisions apply. The provider warrants that, when used as intended, the Software substantially performs the functions described in the description of service.

As the Software runs on the user’s hardware and system environment, the warranty does not cover impairments caused by unsuitable hardware, faulty configuration, third-party software, or language models obtained by the user.

§ 12Liability

The provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, as well as under the German Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health.

In the case of slight negligence, the provider is only liable for the breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability is excluded.

The provider is only liable for data loss to the extent that the user has performed appropriate, regular data backups.

§ 13Note on AI Output

Output generated by language models and other generative AI features may be incorrect, incomplete or inappropriate. It does not constitute legal, medical, tax or other professional advice. The user is responsible for reviewing and using the results. No warranty is given as to the accuracy of AI output.

Outputs of generative features (including text, images, video, music and 3D meshes) are artificially generated. The user may only supply prompts, reference images or other inputs that they have the rights to use (including photos of people and third-party brands or designs).

Mesh files (e.g. GLB/STL) typically do not carry machine-readable Content Credentials; preview images and other media may. If the user professionally publishes deepfakes or AI content on matters of public interest, applicable law (including the EU AI Act) may require clear labeling. The user alone is responsible for such labeling and for lawful publication.

The provider does not warrant that generated meshes or other generative outputs are fit for manufacturing, product safety, medical devices, or other regulated uses. A longer product transparency notice is also shipped with the Software under LICENSES/AI_GENERATED_CONTENT.md; in case of conflict with these Terms for end-user purchases, these Terms prevail.

§ 14Term & Termination

A perpetual purchase license does not end by lapse of time. Where a subscription is offered instead, the term and cancellation conditions stated during the order process apply.

§ 15Final Provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The provider is neither obliged nor generally willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Should individual provisions of these Terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
