Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 September 2025

1. Acceptance of the Terms

By accessing or using this website and its AI‑powered chatbot (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

The Service provides conversational responses generated in part by artificial‑intelligence models that retrieve and synthesize information from external data sources.

AI Disclaimer. Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. They are provided for informational purposes only and are not professional, legal, medical, or financial advice. Always verify any critical information independently.

3. User Responsibilities & Acceptable Use

3.1 Lawful Use

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

3.2 Information Accuracy & No Reliance

The Service strives to provide accurate information about the Sky Atlas and Sky Ecosystem, but outputs may contain errors or become outdated. You must:

  • Verify all information against official Sky documentation;
  • Cross‑reference responses with any sources cited by the Service;
  • Consult official Sky channels for the most current information; and
  • Never rely solely on AI‑generated responses for critical decisions.

You accept full responsibility for any reliance you place on the Service.

3.3 Data & Privacy

The system stores anonymized query data to detect abuse and improve the service. No personal information is stored or linked to individual users.

Additionally, third‑party model providers (currently OpenAI) may log your prompts and outputs in accordance with their own privacy practices. Do not submit sensitive personal data, passwords, or private keys.

3.4 Acceptable Use

This Service is intended solely for informational purposes regarding the Sky Ecosystem. You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or fraudulent activity;
  • Attempt to manipulate, overload, or otherwise exploit the AI system;
  • Share misleading or erroneous AI‑generated information without a clear disclaimer;
  • Violate export‑control, sanctions, or other applicable laws; or
  • Introduce malware, scrape, or reverse‑engineer any part of the Service.

3.5 Compliance with Model‑Provider Policies

Your use of the Service—including your Input and any resulting Output—must comply with all applicable third‑party AI model terms and policies, such as the OpenAI Terms of Use. You, and not the operator, are liable for any breach of those policies. The operator reserves the right to remove content, suspend access, or terminate your account for violations.

4. Intellectual Property & Generated Content

4.1 Service IP (What We Own). All software, source code, site design, logos, and other materials created for the Service (collectively, the "Service IP") are owned by or licensed to the operator and are protected by intellectual‑property laws. No rights are granted except the limited right to access and use the Service as outlined in these Terms.

4.2 Input & Output (What We Don't Own). "Input" means the prompts, text, data, or other material you submit to the Service. "Output" means the content generated by the Service in response to your Input. The operator does not claim ownership over your Input or Output (subject to third‑party rights that may subsist in either).

4.3 Third‑Party Model Terms. Your use of the Service must also comply with the model‑provider's terms (e.g., OpenAI Terms of Use). You are solely responsible for ensuring such compliance.

4.4 Operational License. You grant the operator a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free license to process, cache, and transmit your Input and Output solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service. The operator does not sell your Input or Output.

4.5 Your Responsibility for Rights Clearance. You are responsible for determining whether your Input or Output requires permissions, attribution, or other rights clearance before reuse—particularly for commercial purposes.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM

(a) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICE;
(b) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE; OR
(c) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT,

EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL THE OPERATOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED USD 100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) FOR USING THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operator from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Service;
  • Your violation of these Terms or any third‑party model‑provider terms (including OpenAI's); or
  • Your violation of any law or a third party's rights.

8. Modifications, Suspension & Termination

The operator may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice. The operator may also revise these Terms; updated Terms take effect upon posting. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance. The operator may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or applicable model‑provider policies.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to conflict‑of‑law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Denmark, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

10. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

11. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the operator regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals.
