4. AI-Generated Content — Disclaimer

Important: GermaNav uses Artificial Intelligence to generate responses. AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information. Always verify critical information with official sources or qualified professionals.

The information provided by GermaNav is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute:

  • Legal advice — For legal matters, consult a qualified attorney (Rechtsanwalt).

  • Immigration advice — For visa and residence permit decisions, consult your local Ausländerbehörde or an immigration lawyer.
  • Medical advice — For health concerns, consult a licensed physician.

Fai Digital does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided by the AI. Users act on AI-generated information at their own risk.

6. Intellectual Property

The GermaNav name, logo, website design, and all original content are the intellectual property of Fai Digital and are protected by German and international copyright law.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our written consent, except for personal, non-commercial use.

AI-generated responses provided to you through the Companion app may be used freely for your personal purposes.

7. Availability & Uptime

We strive to keep the Service available 24/7 but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

  • Maintenance and updates
  • Technical issues with our hosting or AI providers
  • Circumstances beyond our control (force majeure)

We are not liable for any damages resulting from temporary unavailability of the Service.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
  • Fai Digital is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service.
  • Fai Digital is not liable for any decisions you make based on information provided by the AI, including financial losses, legal consequences, or missed deadlines.
  • Our total liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed €100.

These limitations do not apply to damages caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or in cases where applicable law mandates stricter liability (e.g., German Product Liability Act).

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/DSGVO).

10. Third-Party Services

The Service may contain links to external websites and uses third-party services (Google Gemini API, Google Analytics, Netlify). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

11. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect upon publication on this page. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice (e.g., a banner on the website).

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time — no action required. Since no account is created, there is nothing to delete.

We reserve the right to restrict or block access to the Service for users who violate these Terms or engage in abusive behavior.

13. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

For consumers within the EU, mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence apply in addition to German law.

The exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes is Munich, Germany, to the extent legally permissible.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.
