Services
The provider offers the user free and for-pay services on the website bellalingua.com.
These free services are accessible free of charge, but the following terms of use must be observed. Registration is required to use the free services and content (“basic version”). For certain services, additional registration information is required in order to obtain additional functionalities (“login version”). Additional services are available for payment (“premium version”).
Costs can arise for the Internet use of the user, for example for the Internet provider. These costs shall be paid for exclusively by the user; not by the provider.

The provider does not guarantee the permanent and uninterrupted availability of the services.
Services are updated at regular intervals. However, the user is not entitled to an update.

All contents of the offered services, in particular pictures, texts, and graphics are, unless otherwise stated, protected by copyright.
Within the scope of the “Login Version”, the provider uses stored texts for machine learning in this context, which is intended to improve the services. The machine learning is used in particular to improve the functions for text verification and translation. “Usage Data and Customer Content may be used to develop, train, or enhance artificial intelligence or machine learning models that are part of Provider’s products and services, including third-party components of the Product, and Customer authorizes Provider to process its Usage Data and Customer Content for such purposes. However, (a) Usage Data and Customer Content must be aggregated before it can be used for these purposes, and (b) Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with industry-standard technology to de-identify Usage Data and Customer Content before such use. Nothing in this section will reduce or limit the Provider’s obligations regarding Personal Data that may be contained in Usage Data or Customer Content under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Due to the nature of artificial intelligence and machine learning, information generated by these features may be incorrect or inaccurate. Product features that include artificial intelligence or machine learning models are not human and are not a substitute for human oversight.
Warranty and liability of the provider
The provider does not guarantee the accuracy, speed, completeness, reliability, and timeliness of the services provided. In particular, the user accepts that the examination of texts for stylistic, spelling and grammatical errors is incomplete. The user also accepts that there may be false alarms, i. e. that the services may identify text passages as incorrect that are actually correct or may not identify text that is correct that is incorrect.
User behaviour
The use of the services of the provider must not be in contradiction with these terms and conditions. Furthermore, the user may not misuse the free services and must respect applicable laws as well as the rights of third parties.
Violations of these terms and the obligations of the user may, among other things, lead to the user’s liability for damages.
The user shall indemnify the provider from all claims of third parties asserting these against the provider due to the violation of their rights by actions of the user. Furthermore, the user is obliged to compensate the provider for all damages and reasonable expenses incurred by the provider in connection with an infringement of rights by the user, in particular also due to claims by third parties. This also includes the costs of an appropriate legal defense of the provider.
Publicly offering any version of the service (e.g. reselling) is not allowed. The provider may offer an exception from this limitation in written form.
The use of the services to create a competing product in the area of style, grammar, translation, or writing assistance is not permitted.
Data protection
The provider is aware that the careful handling of the personal data of the users is very important. The provider strives to ensure careful treatment of personal data at all times.
Should individual provisions of the General Terms and Conditions be invalid or unenforceable or should they become invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the General Terms and Conditions shall remain unaffected. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that complies with the terms and conditions in their entirety as well as the general terms and conditions of business.
