- You are responsible for complying with the AI provider's terms of use.

- AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading

9. Intellectual property
The lynox name, logo, and brand assets are trademarks of Brandfusion Burlet. The software source code is available under the Elastic License 2.0. All content on this website (text, images, design) is protected by copyright unless otherwise noted.
Data you create using the lynox software (knowledge graph, conversations, workflows, files) belongs to you. We make no claim to your data.
10. Warranty disclaimer
The software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
- The software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
- Defects will be corrected in any specific timeframe
- The software is suitable for any particular purpose or use case
- Results obtained through the software will be accurate or reliable
For the self-hosted software, uptime and performance depend entirely on your own infrastructure.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including Art. 100 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR):
- Slight negligence: Our liability for damages caused by slight negligence is excluded.
- Indirect damages: We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of data, business interruption, or reputational damage.
- Pure financial loss: We are not liable for pure financial losses (reine Vermögensschäden) arising from the use of the software.
- Third-party actions: We are not liable for damages caused by third-party services, AI providers, or integrations you connect to lynox.
- User actions: We are not liable for any damage, loss, or legal consequences resulting from your use of the software, including decisions made based on AI-generated output, API costs incurred, or data loss due to inadequate backups.
Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability is limited to CHF 100 or the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.
Mandatory statutory liability — in particular for wilful misconduct (Vorsatz), gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), and product liability under the Swiss Product Liability Act (PrHG) for personal injury and damage to consumer goods — remains unaffected and cannot be excluded.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Brandfusion Burlet, Rafael Burlet, and any affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use or misuse of the software
- Your violation of these terms or applicable law
- Your violation of any third-party rights
- Content, data, or output generated through your installation
- Any claim by a third party related to your use of the software
13. Third-party components
lynox includes open-source components governed by their own licenses. A list of third-party licenses is available in the THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md file. We make no warranty regarding third-party components and are not liable for any issues arising from them.
14. Data protection
See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle data on this website. The self-hosted software collects no data and communicates only with the AI provider you configure. When you self-host lynox, you are the data controller for all data processed by your installation.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Material changes will be noted with an updated date. For lynox Cloud subscribers, we will provide 30 days notice before changes take effect. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
16. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by Swiss law (Swiss Code of Obligations, OR), excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Rapperswil-Jona, Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Mandatory statutory provisions regarding jurisdiction — in particular for consumers under Art. 32 of the Swiss Civil Procedure Code (ZPO) — remain unaffected.
17. Severability
If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic intent of the invalid provision.
