Our commitment to you

1. Scope of application

1. These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) govern the relationship between CASUS Technologies AG, Zurich, (hereinafter “CASUS” or “we”) and the users (hereinafter “user” or “you”) of the CASUS services, in particular the product “CASUS Review”.

2. Any differing terms and conditions of the user shall not become part of the contract unless CASUS expressly agrees to them in writing.
   
   

2. Subject matter of the contract

1. CASUS provides software solutions via the platform www.getcasus.com (or a different domain if applicable), which can be used, among other things, to analyze contracts with the help of AI-supported functions (“CASUS Review”).

2. With the “CASUS Review” product, users can upload contracts, analyze them using AI, summarize them and receive suggestions for improvement. The AI functions support the user, but do not replace individual legal advice. The user acknowledges and accepts that the CASUS AI can make mistakes and that important information must be checked by the user.
   
   

3. Registration and user account

1. To use the CASUS services, you must first complete the registration process. When registering, you must provide true and complete information.

2. The user may only create one user account and may not transfer it to third parties or make it available to third parties, unless expressly permitted by CASUS.

3. CASUS reserves the right to refuse registrations or to block user accounts without stating reasons if these GTC or applicable law are violated.
   
   

4. Services and use

1. Free Trial: CASUS offers a free trial period (“Free Trial”) during which users can test the full range of functions (or a range defined by CASUS). After the trial period has expired, the user account will be blocked unless a paid subscription is purchased.

2. Paid subscriptions:

   1. After the free trial, the user can take out a monthly or annual subscription to continue to have access to the functions of CASUS Review.

   2. A distinction is made between a monthly and an annual subscription. The prices and services are based on the price list valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract or the product description on www.getcasus.com.

3. Unlimited document analysis: Within the scope of an active subscription, the user can upload and have an unlimited number of documents analyzed. However, CASUS reserves the right to restrict access or to introduce an appropriate upper limit in the event of misuse (e.g. systematic mass processing that obviously does not correspond to normal business or private needs).

4. Disclaimer for AI recommendations: The recommendations or analyses provided by “CASUS Review” are automated and based on artificial intelligence. They do not constitute legal or binding advice and cannot replace an individual legal review. The user remains responsible for checking the accuracy and legality of all proposed changes.

5. CASUS is entitled to use subcontractors for the operation of the software and the provision of the service. Regarding data protection, the data protection declaration of CASUS applies, available at https://www.getcasus.com/privacy.

6. All data is processed in encrypted form and stored on Swiss servers. No data storage or access by people takes place during processing by subcontractors' AI models. In addition, the transmitted data is not used for training or further development of AI models.
   
   

5. Payment terms

1. Payment service provider: Payments are processed exclusively via Stripe. CASUS does not issue separate invoices unless required by law.

2. Due date: Fees for the subscription are to be paid in advance for the respective billing period (monthly or annually).

3. Recurring payments: A monthly or annual subscription is automatically renewed for the respective term if the user does not terminate it in due time (see section 8).

4. Late payment: If the user is in arrears, CASUS is entitled to block access to the user account in whole or in part until all outstanding claims have been settled.
   
   

6. Obligations of the user

1. The user is obliged not to use the services provided in an illegal manner. In particular, no content may be uploaded that violates laws, official prohibitions or the rights of third parties. The user is obliged to indemnify CASUS from all claims of third parties that are based on the data stored by him and to reimburse CASUS for all costs that it incurs due to possible legal violations.

2. The user is obliged to keep his access data safe, to protect it from access by unauthorized third parties and to change it if unauthorized access by third parties is suspected.

3. Any misuse of the platform, in particular through automated mass use, deliberate overloading of the infrastructure or unauthorized copying of the software functions, is prohibited.

7. Availability and maintenance

1. CASUS strives to provide a high level of service availability. However, there is no entitlement to permanent availability.

2. CASUS regularly carries out maintenance work and updates, which may lead to temporary restrictions. CASUS will schedule these maintenance periods outside of normal business hours if possible or will announce them in good time.

8. Duration and termination

1. Free Trial: The free trial offer ends automatically after the trial period set by CASUS. If no paid subscription is booked, the service will be blocked for the user.

   • Cancellations can be made by emailing contact@casus.ch or – if technically possible – via the account management on www.getcasus.com.

   • The fees for the current, already paid subscription period will not be refunded.

4. After effective termination, access remains until the end of the current, already paid period. After that, access will be blocked.

5. Each party is entitled to terminate this contract at any time without notice for good cause. Good cause for the immediate termination of this contract for CASUS exists in particular,

   • if the user goes bankrupt or if bankruptcy proceedings have been suspended due to a lack of assets;

   • if payment processing via Stripe does not work;

   • if the user violates legal regulations or infringes on copyrights, industrial property rights or other rights of third parties when using the software or other services;

   • if the user seriously or repeatedly violates these GTC.
