Feedback
All feedback, comments, ideas, suggestions and improvements that the Service Provider receives from you may be used by the Service Provider without limitation or compensation.
III. Content
Your Content
The Service allows you to enter content into the service (“Input”) based on which Input the Service generates and returns output content (“Output”). Input and output are collectively reffered to as “Content”.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are deemed to own all Inputs.
By accepting these Terms of Use, authorized users acknowledge and agree that the owner of the user account is also the owner of all Inputs, and that the Terms guarantee the owner many choices and control over the Inputs.
With respect to the Output, and subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants and establishes in your favor all rights, title and interest. This implies that you can use the Content for any purpose, including commercial purposes such as selling or publishing, provided that you comply with these Terms. Your right to Output is not exclusive, and the Service Provider is authorized to use the Output without limitation and for any purpose.
The Service Provider may use the Content to provide and maintain the Services, comply with applicable law and enforce these Terms and related rules.
For the avoidance of doubt, you and the authorized users are responsible for the Content, including for ensuring that the Content does not violate applicable laws and regulations or these Terms.
Content Similarity
Due to the nature of machine learning, the Output may not be unique for all users and the Service may generate the same or similar Output for multiple users.
Responses requested by other users and generated for them are not considered your Content.
Use of Content to Improve the Service
We may use Content from the Service to help develop and improve our Services.
Your Input will be used to improve the Service with your exclusive consent.
Please note that limiting the use of your Content may, in some cases, limit our services’ ability to better respond to your specific use case.
Authorized users are obliged to respect the decision of the customer account owner if they give consent to use the Content to help improve the Service.
Accuracy, Truthfulness, Appropriateness and Suitability of Content
The Service Provider expressly states that it does not guarantee, nor should the user expect, the accuracy and truthfulness of the Output and Content, nor the appropriateness and/or suitability of the Content for achieving a specific purpose or goal.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly developing areas of study. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, using the Service may in some situations result in inaccurate or untrue results that do not accurately reflect real people, places or facts.
It is your obligation to assess the accuracy and truthfulness of any Output in each specific case.
IV. Subscription, Fees and Payments
Fees, Billing and Subscription Plans
The fee for the services is paid in advance for exactly specified credits expressed in the amount of words/characters of Content that the Service generates and in-app currencies (hereinafter "Yazo Credits").
The fee is paid according to the applicable prices and terms stated here or otherwise if expressly agreed in writing.
We offer different subscription plans with varying features and word/character limits of Content that the Service generates. In addition to subscription plans with a recurring fee, we also offer lifetime subscription plans, where the term "lifetime" means the period of time for which the Service Provider will be able to provide the Service, and not the lifetime of user of the Service.
By subscribing to our Service, you authorize the immediate transfer of funds from your account at the time of subscription.
Each subscription plan, except for lifetime subscription plans, has a monthly or annual recurring fee, which grants access to the Service for the duration of the subscription period.
After the completion of each monthly billing cycle, Stripe will automatically renew the subscription and charge the corresponding fee to your account. The subscription fee is billed in advance and is non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
The word/character limit and the amount of Yazo Credits associated with each subscription plan determines the number of words and the amount of Content you can generate within a billing cycle.
Additional usage beyond the word/character limit may incur additional charges or require an upgrade to a higher subscription plan.
You may cancel your subscription at any time, and the cancellation will take effect at the end of your ongoing billing cycle.
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your subscription without prior notice if you violate these Terms and Conditions.
Limitation of Liability and Termination
Please be advised that the management of your subscription settings rests solely with you. We explicitly disclaim any responsibility for your lack of awareness or inattention in this regard.
You are required to autonomously initiate the cancellation of your subscription through your account settings should you choose not to proceed into the subsequent month. Upon your request, existing subscriptions will be promptly terminated, with continuation until the conclusion of the ongoing billing cycle.
If your payment cannot be processed, we will send you a written notice following which we may limit or suspend access to the Services until full payment is received.
Payment Method
Fees are paid in EUR and USD. Payments are non-refundable, unless otherwise specified by these Terms or a separate agreement between the parties.

VIII. Consumer Notice
Applicable legislation (Consumer Protection Act) provides the following:
A consumer who has entered into a distance contract has the right, without stating reasons for doing so, to unilaterally terminate the contract within 14 days.
In the case of a service contract, as well as in the case of a contract whose subject matter is digital content that is not delivered on a tangible medium, the deadline for unilateral termination of the contract (14 days) begins to run from the day of conclusion of the contract.
If, however, notice of the right to unilateral termination is given within 12 months, the right to unilateral termination shall cease upon expiry of the period of 14 days from the day on which the Consumer receives that notice. The Consumer shall notify the trader/Service Provider of his decision to terminate the contract by e-mail to [email protected] before the expiry of the term for unilateral termination.
The Service Provider shall provide confirmation of receipt of notice of unilateral termination without delay by electronic mail.
If the User unilaterally terminates this Agreement, the Service Provider shall refund the money if applicable, without delay, and no later than 14 days from the date on which the decision on unilateral termination of the contract was received. The User shall bear the cost of a refund unless it is due to Service Provider’s responsibility. The refund will be made in the same way as payment was made.
In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, the Consumer does not have the right to unilateral termination of the contract if:
- the service contract has been fully performed by the trader/Service Provider and performance has begun with the express prior consent of the Consumer and with their confirmation that they are aware that they will lose the right to unilateral termination of the contract from this section if the service is fully performed.
IMPORTANT
Due to the nature of the services provided through the Service (the subject of the service is access to the Yazo service, and the contract is deemed performed at the moment of access to the service), you will not have the possibility or right to unilateral termination of the contract after payment of the credit and the start of Service use.

All disputes arising from this Agreement or in connection with it, including disputes relating to issues of its valid concluding, breach or termination, as well as legal effects arising therefrom, the Parties undertake to first attempt to resolve through negotiations. In the event that the Parties fail to resolve the dispute through negotiations, they undertake to attempt to resolve it through mediation proceedings before the Mediation Center of the Croatian Mediation Association, Zagreb, Kneza Mislava 12 within 60 days from the beginning of mediation. The 60-day period may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties. Before the end of mediation, the Parties may not initiate court proceedings.
