Terms of Service (ToS)
Last Updated: March 2026
Welcome to Squil. These Terms of Service govern the use of the app between you as the user and Julian Kern, Stuttgarter Str. 27, 76137 Karlsruhe, Germany (hereinafter referred to as the "Provider").
§ 1 Scope of Services
(1) Squil is an organization tool for AI-supported extraction and structuring of information from social media links (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) as well as from physical templates via camera upload.
(2) Analysis is conducted through the use of Google Cloud Vertex AI (Artificial Intelligence). The app provides the technical tool to organize this content digitally.
(3) Squil is offered as a Freemium model. Basic functions are free, while enhanced features ("Pro Version") require a paid subscription.
§ 2 Subscriptions and Payment Processing
(1) Acquisition of the Pro Version occurs via In-App Purchases. Payment processing and subscription management are handled exclusively by the platform operators: Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
(2) Free Trial: If a 7-day trial period is offered, it will automatically convert into a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period via the account settings of the respective store.
(3) Subscriptions renew automatically for the chosen duration until cancelled by the user.
The user acknowledges that results generated by AI (e.g., extracted recipes, quantities, transcripts) may be inaccurate or "hallucinated." The Provider assumes no warranty for the accuracy or completeness of this data. The user is obliged to independently verify critical information before use.
§ 4 Copyrights and User Obligations
(1) The user warrants that they possess the necessary rights for all imported links or uploaded images (particularly within the scope of private use).
(2) Squil claims no ownership of user content. However, the user grants the Provider the technically necessary, time-limited right to process the content to provide the app services.
§ 5 Availability and Third-Party Platforms
(1) The functionality of the app significantly depends on the availability of interfaces (APIs) from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Google Cloud services. Restrictions by these third-party providers are beyond the control of the Provider.
(2) Maintenance work or technical disruptions may lead to temporary interruptions.
§ 6 Right of Withdrawal
Consumers in the EU/EEA have a 14-day right of withdrawal. Since the contract for digital content is concluded with the respective store operator (Apple/Google), the withdrawal must be declared directly to the respective store (e.g., via Apple's "Report a Problem").
§ 7 Limitation of Liability
The Provider is liable for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages based on intent or gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for the breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation), limited to foreseeable, typical contractual damages.
