Terms of Use

Version: v1.0  ·  Last updated: May 7, 2026

1. Scope & Subject Matter

These Terms of Use govern the use of "Next ai" (the "service"), developed and operated by deeplike GmbH Rheinlanddamm 84, 44139 Dortmund, Germany ("deeplike", "we"). These Terms form an agreement between you and deeplike GmbH. By using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

The Service provides users with an app-based interface to chat with an AI assistant and generate AI-powered options, including structured recommendations and clarifying text messages, to support personal decision-making. The Service does not produce images, audio, or video output.

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, availability, or uninterrupted functionality of the Service. Liability is governed by Section 15.

1.1. Content

Your Content. You may provide input to the Service ("Input") and receive output from the Service based on the Input ("Output"). Input and Output are collectively "Content." You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to the Service.

Ownership of Content. As between you and deeplike, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you retain ownership of your Input and own the Output you generate through the Service.

License to deeplike. You grant deeplike a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, and process your Content solely to the extent necessary to (a) operate, provide, and maintain the Service to you, (b) comply with applicable law, (c) enforce these Terms, and (d) keep the Service safe and secure. This license terminates when your Content is deleted from our systems, except where retention is required by law.

Similarity of Content. Due to the nature of artificial intelligence, Output may not be unique, and other users may receive similar Output from the Service. Your ownership of Output does not extend to other users' Output or to any third-party Output.

Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving. Given their probabilistic nature, the Service may, in some situations, produce Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. When you use the Service, you understand and agree that:

  • Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
  • You must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output.
  • You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them.
  • The Service may produce incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent deeplike's views. References to third-party products or services in Output do not imply endorsement or affiliation.

AI transparency. In line with Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act), you are informed that the Service is an AI system and that all Output is generated by artificial intelligence. An in-app disclaimer further confirms this at the point of use.

1.2. Relationship to Apple's End User License Agreement

Your use of the app as software downloaded from the Apple App Store is additionally governed by Apple's Standard End User License Agreement for Licensed Applications. These Terms govern your use of the service provided by deeplike and prevail in the event of conflict regarding the Service.

Apple is a third-party beneficiary of the Apple LAA but is not a party to these Terms.


2. Access & Acceptable Use

  • Reverse engineering, scraping, or automated mass-extraction of Output.

3.8. Right of Withdrawal

Information on your statutory right of withdrawal as a consumer is provided in Section 5.


4. Refund Policy

4.1. General Refund Policy (All Users)

Premium subscriptions are processed by Apple. Any refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple grants refunds at its sole discretion under its own policies, independently of these Terms. deeplike has no influence over Apple's refund decisions and cannot process App Store refunds on your behalf.

Except where required by applicable law, subscriptions are non-cancellable during the active billing period and no full or partial refunds, credits, or prorated reimbursements will be provided for partially used billing periods.

The following situations are typically not eligible for a refund:

  • Dissatisfaction with the quality, style, or content of AI-generated Output;
  • AI-generated Output being inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, biased, inconsistent, or otherwise unpredictable;
  • Changes in personal preference after purchase;
  • Non-use of the subscription;
  • Switching from a yearly to a monthly subscription, or vice versa;
  • Temporary interruptions, latency, or minor technical issues that do not materially impair the availability of the Service;
  • Suspension or termination resulting from a violation of these Terms.

Subject to applicable mandatory consumer law, we reserve the right to deny voluntary refunds, credits, or goodwill compensation, and to suspend or terminate accounts in accordance with Section 9, in cases of abuse of the Service, repeated unfounded refund requests, chargeback abuse, fraudulent activity, or material violations of these Terms. This does not affect statutory rights that cannot be limited by contract, including the right of withdrawal (where applicable) and statutory warranty rights.

4.2. Discontinuation of the Service

If we decide to discontinue the Service, we will give you reasonable advance notice and a pro-rata refund for any prepaid, unused portion of your subscription. Where the subscription was purchased through Apple, the refund will be coordinated with Apple where possible, or issued directly by deeplike where required by law.

4.3. Additional Rights for EU/EEA Consumers

The following applies only to consumers with habitual residence in the European Union or European Economic Area:

Nothing in this Section 4 limits your mandatory rights under EU and national consumer law, including the statutory right of withdrawal (Section 5), statutory warranty rights (in particular §§ 434 ff. and §§ 327 ff. BGB for users subject to German law), liability claims under Section 15, or refund rights in the event of material changes to these Terms (Section 20). Where such a right applies and Apple does not grant the corresponding refund, deeplike will reimburse you directly to the extent required by law.


5. Right of Withdrawal (Consumers)

This Section 5 applies only to consumers with habitual residence in the European Union or European Economic Area. Users outside the EU/EEA do not have a statutory right of withdrawal under these Terms; refunds for such users are governed by Section 4 and Apple's policies.

5.1. Statutory Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB (German Civil Code), you have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract (i.e., the day your subscription is confirmed via the Apple App Store).

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may contact us at:

deeplike GmbH, Rheinlanddamm 84, 44139 Dortmund, Germany
Email: info@deeplike.ai

You may use the model withdrawal form provided in Section 5.5, but it is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient that you send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

5.2. Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw. Reimbursement will be made using the same means of payment used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; in no event will you incur fees as a result of the reimbursement.

Because subscription payments are processed by Apple, refunds will typically be issued through Apple. We will coordinate with Apple as needed or, where applicable, refund you directly.

5.3. Early Commencement of Services and Loss of Withdrawal Right

The Service is a digital service within the meaning of § 327 BGB. The right of withdrawal expires before the end of the 14-day period only if all of the following conditions are met:

  1. You have expressly consented to the commencement of the service before the end of the withdrawal period;
  2. You have acknowledged that you lose your right of withdrawal upon commencement of the service; and
  3. We have provided you with confirmation of this consent and acknowledgment on a durable medium (e.g., by email).

If any of these conditions is not met, your 14-day right of withdrawal remains in effect.

5.4. No Withdrawal Right for the Free Plan

The right of withdrawal does not apply to the Free plan, as no payment is made and no contract for paid services is concluded.

Your rights to Output are governed by Section 1.1. Reproduction, modification, or creation of derivative works of the Service itself (as opposed to Output) is not permitted without prior written authorization.


7. User Responsibilities

The Service is intended for users aged 13 and older, in line with the Service's App Store age rating. Users under the age of 18 must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service and to enter into any paid subscription. Where the user lacks contractual capacity under applicable national law, a parent or legal guardian must conclude the contract on the user's behalf.

You must comply with the Acceptable Use rules in Section 2 at all times. You are solely responsible for the Input you provide and must hold all necessary rights to that Input.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and must promptly report any unauthorized access to info@deeplike.ai. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify deeplike against third-party claims arising from your Input or your use of the Service in breach of these Terms.


8. Copyright Compliance & Responsible Use

You must ensure that your use of Output, in particular when published or used commercially, does not infringe copyrights, trademarks, personality rights, or other rights of third parties. You must also ensure that any explicit or violent content you generate, store, or publish through the Service complies with applicable legal standards.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify deeplike against third-party claims arising from misuse of the Service. Violations may result in account suspension or termination in accordance with Section 9.


9. Termination

You are free to stop using the Service at any time. Subject to mandatory statutory rights, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service or delete your account if we determine, in good faith, that:

  • You materially breached these Terms;
  • We must do so to comply with the law;
  • Your use creates a real risk of harm to others or to the Service;
  • You engage in patterns of abuse of refund rights, repeated unfounded refund or chargeback claims, or fraudulent payment activity.

Except where the breach is so serious that immediate suspension is necessary (in particular under § 314 BGB), we will give you prior notice of the breach and a reasonable opportunity to cure it before terminating your account.

We may also terminate your account if it has been inactive for more than 36 months and you do not have an active paid subscription. In that case, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice.

If you believe we have suspended or terminated your account in error, you can file an appeal by writing to info@deeplike.ai.


10. Modifications to the Service

We may add, change, or remove features of the Service at any time. We will not materially reduce the core functionality you have paid for during a current billing period without offering a pro-rata refund or comparable replacement. In the event of full discontinuation of the Service, Section 4.3 applies.


11. Reverse Engineering & Updates

You agree not to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law (in particular § 69e UrhG). The Service may auto-update via the Apple App Store to ensure you have access to the latest version.


12. Third-Party Websites & Services

deeplike is not responsible for any third-party websites or services that may be linked from within the Service. The Service relies on third-party APIs and AI models; their availability and behavior may affect the Service.


13. Beta Products

Features marked as "beta," "preview," "early access," or "evaluation" may be less reliable and less thoroughly tested than generally available features. Usage data from beta features may be processed for improvement purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy.


14. Warranty

If you are a consumer, statutory warranty rights under German law (in particular §§ 434 ff., 327 ff. BGB) apply in full, and nothing in these Terms limits or excludes those rights.

Beyond mandatory statutory warranty rights, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that Output will meet your specific requirements.


15. Limitation of Liability

deeplike is liable without limitation for:

  • Damages caused by intent (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit);
  • Injury to life, body, or health;
  • Liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz);
  • Any liability assumed under an express guarantee.

In cases of slight negligence (einfache Fahrlässigkeit), deeplike is liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten) — that is, obligations whose fulfillment is necessary to enable the proper performance of the contract and on whose fulfillment you may regularly rely. In such cases, liability is limited to damages typically foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded.

Any further liability of deeplike is excluded. The above limitations also apply in favor of deeplike's legal representatives, employees, and vicarious agents (Erfüllungsgehilfen).

The Service relies on third-party APIs and AI models. We do not warrant the accuracy, quality, or completeness of any AI-generated Output, subject to the liability principles set out above.


16. Resolving Disputes

16.1. Informal Resolution (All Users)

We encourage you to contact us at info@deeplike.ai before initiating formal proceedings, so we can try to resolve your concern informally. This is a voluntary step and does not affect your right to bring proceedings at any time.

16.2. Additional Information for EU/EEA Consumers

The following applies only to consumers with habitual residence in the European Union or European Economic Area:

Online Dispute Resolution. The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our email address for this purpose is info@deeplike.ai.

Consumer arbitration (§ 36 VSBG). deeplike is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).


17. Data Protection

We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection law. Details on the categories of data we process, the purposes, legal bases, retention periods, and your rights are set out in our Privacy Policy.

For data protection inquiries, including the exercise of your rights under Articles 15–22 GDPR, please contact us at info@deeplike.ai. deeplike has not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as we are not legally required to do so under Article 37 GDPR and § 38 BDSG.


18. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and deeplike regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on the same subject matter. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect; the unenforceable provision will be replaced by a valid provision that reflects the original intent as closely as possible (this does not constitute a separate severability clause replacing § 306 BGB, which continues to apply). You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. deeplike may assign its rights and obligations to affiliates or successors, provided that your rights under these Terms are not adversely affected.


19. Jurisdiction & Applicable Law

19.1. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and excluding conflict-of-laws rules that would apply the law of another jurisdiction.

19.2. Mandatory Consumer Protections

Section 19.1 does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence, where such provisions cannot be derogated from by agreement. In particular:

  • EU/EEA consumers retain the protection of mandatory consumer law of their member state of residence in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 (Rome I).
  • US consumers retain the protection of mandatory consumer protection laws of their state of residence, including but not limited to applicable auto-renewal, refund, and disclosure laws.
  • Canadian consumers retain the protection of mandatory consumer protection laws of their province of residence. For consumers resident in Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act (CQLR c P-40.1) applies and prevails over any conflicting provision of these Terms.

19.3. Jurisdiction

The statutory rules on jurisdiction in your country of residence apply. You may bring proceedings against deeplike either in the courts of Germany or in the courts of the country where you reside; we may bring proceedings against you only in the courts of the country where you reside.


20. Modifications to These Terms

We may modify these Terms to reflect changes in the Service, in applicable law, or in our business operations. For non-material changes (e.g., editorial corrections, clarifications), we will publish the updated Terms in the app.

Material amendments to these Terms — in particular changes affecting your rights, fees, or core obligations — require your active consent. We will notify you at least 30 days before the proposed effective date by email or in-product notification, describe the changes, and ask you to confirm acceptance. If you do not consent, you may continue using the Service under the existing Terms until the end of your current billing period and cancel your subscription before that date; in that case, you will receive a pro-rata refund for any prepaid, unused portion.
