Educational Purpose
This Service is provided for educational purposes only. Grammar analysis results should not be considered authoritative or professionally binding. The Service is designed to assist with German language learning, not to provide definitive grammatical judgments.
Service Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Accuracy and Reliability
While we strive for accuracy using advanced AI technology, we do not guarantee that grammar analysis results are error-free or complete. Users should verify important information independently and use results as learning aids rather than absolute authorities.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or free from interruptions, errors, or security vulnerabilities. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, satzklar shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Hampshire, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
