In plain terms: you get a personal licence to use Skriveo. You bring your own AI provider key and deal with that provider directly. We do not warrant that AI output is correct — check it before you rely on it. If something goes wrong, our liability is capped at what you paid us. Your statutory consumer rights are untouched.
1. The agreement
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Skriveo browser extension (“the Software”) and this website (together, “the Service”), provided by Hamza Naeem, Germany (“we”, “us”). Contact details are in the Impressum.
By installing, accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use it.
These Terms apply alongside our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, which form part of this agreement.
2. Licence grant
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software for your own personal or internal business use.
A paid Pro licence key may be activated on up to five devices or browser profiles. The licence is granted to you as an individual or to a single organisation, and may not be shared, resold, published or sub-licensed.
The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
3. Restrictions
You may not:
- copy, redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or lease the Software;
- modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices contained in the Software;
- circumvent, disable or interfere with licence validation or feature gating;
- publish, share or resell a licence key issued to you.
4. Your API key and the AI providers
The Software requires an API key that you obtain from a third-party AI provider — currently Groq or Google (Gemini). You are solely responsible for:
- creating and safeguarding that key;
- complying with the provider's own terms of service and acceptable use policy;
- any charges the provider bills to your account.
We are not a party to your relationship with the provider, receive no share of what you pay them, and have no ability to access your provider account, your key, or the requests you make. Provider availability, pricing, model deprecation and rate limits are entirely outside our control.
5. AI output
Output is generated by third-party AI models. It may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, or unsuitable for your purpose, and it may resemble output produced for other users.
You are responsible for reviewing any output before relying on, publishing or sending it. Do not treat AI output as legal, medical, financial or professional advice. As between you and us, you retain whatever rights you have in the text you submit and the output you receive; we claim none of it, and we never see it.
6. Free tier, early access and Pro
The Software offers a free tier that remains available without payment. Additional “Pro” features may require a one-time licence purchase.
During the early-access period, Pro features are unlocked for all users. When paid licensing is enabled, users whose installation predates the cut-off date recorded by the Software retain access to those features at no charge, permanently. This grandfathering is determined automatically from the install timestamp stored on your device; if you delete that data or install fresh on a new profile after the cut-off, eligibility cannot be reconstructed by us.
7. Payment and refunds
Where a paid licence is offered, payments are processed by a third-party merchant of record, who acts as the seller for the transaction and handles invoicing and applicable VAT/GST. We never see or store your card details.
Prices are shown at checkout and may change for future purchases. A one-time licence is not a subscription and will not renew or recur.
Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which grants a 14-day money-back guarantee in addition to any statutory right of withdrawal you may have as a consumer in the EU or UK.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- break any applicable law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights;
- process personal data of others in a way that breaches data-protection law;
- generate or distribute unlawful, defamatory, harassing, deceptive or malicious content;
- impersonate a person or organisation, or produce content presented as genuine when it is not;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system, or disrupt the Service or a provider's API.
9. Availability and changes
The Software runs entirely in your browser, so there is no service uptime for us to guarantee or fail. We may release updates that add, change or remove functionality — including changes required by browser vendors or AI providers — and browser stores may auto-update your installation.
We may discontinue the Software. If we do so while you hold a paid lifetime licence, the version you have installed continues to work for as long as your browser supports it; we are not obliged to provide further updates.
10. Intellectual property
The Software, this website, the Skriveo name and logo, and all associated materials are owned by us and protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you.
11. Third-party components
The Software bundles jsPDF, used under the MIT Licence, © 2010–2021 James Hall and yWorks GmbH. Its licence text is preserved within the distributed file and governs that component. This website loads the Inter typeface (SIL Open Font License) from Google Fonts.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free, that text insertion will succeed on every website, or that AI output will be accurate or fit for any purpose.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer, including the statutory warranty rights under German law (§§ 434 ff. BGB).
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the Software in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim (which is zero if you use the free tier).
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or costs charged to you by an AI provider.
These limitations do not apply to liability for injury to life, body or health, for intent or gross negligence, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), or for any other liability that cannot be limited by law.
14. Termination
You may terminate this agreement at any time by uninstalling the Software. We may terminate or suspend your licence if you materially breach these Terms — in particular by sharing or publishing a licence key. On termination, the rights granted in section 2 end and you must stop using the Software.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
16. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement; we may assign it in connection with a merger or sale of assets.
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced on this page with a revised “Last updated” date, and where required by law we will seek your consent. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
