Techlogia — AI and Web Development Berlin

Terms of Service

General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Scope

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts between Jaciel Antonio Acea Ruiz, Prinzenallee 38, 13359 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter "Provider") and the customer regarding services and software products offered on techlogia.de.

(2) Deviating terms and conditions of the customer only apply if the Provider has expressly agreed to them in writing.

§ 2 Subject Matter

The Provider offers the following services:

  • Technology services: Development of AI solutions, web applications, mobile apps, and other IT services as individually agreed.
  • Open source software: Free software products published under the MIT License on GitHub.
  • SaaS products: Cloud-based software services provided via separate platforms and subject to separate terms of use.
  • Own mobile app ("Techlogia App"): Free companion app to techlogia.de for Android and iOS. The Lab Terms additionally apply when using the "Lab" learning platform via the app.

§ 3 Conclusion of Contract

(1) For services, the contract is concluded through acceptance of an individual offer by the Provider. Inquiries via the contact form do not constitute a binding offer.

(2) For open source software, no separate contract is concluded. The terms of the respective open source license (MIT License) apply.

§ 4 Scope of Services

(1) The scope of services is determined by the respective offer or service description.

(2) Changes to the scope of services require a written agreement.

§ 5 Customer Obligations

(1) The customer provides all information, data, and access required for service delivery in a timely and complete manner.

(2) The customer designates a contact person available for queries and coordination.

§ 6 Prices and Payment

(1) Remuneration for services is based on the individual offer. All prices are net prices plus statutory VAT.

(2) Invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt without deduction, unless otherwise agreed.

(3) Open source software is free of charge. Separate fees may be agreed for support or custom modifications.

(4) If the customer fails to pay within the period set out in paragraph 2, default occurs without a further reminder (Section 286(2) no. 2 German Civil Code). From the start of default the customer owes statutory default interest — nine percentage points above the base rate for businesses, five percentage points for consumers (Section 288 German Civil Code) — and, unless the customer is a consumer, a flat fee of EUR 40 (Section 288(5) German Civil Code). The right to claim further damages caused by the delay remains unaffected. For school and university licences the payment period under Section 16(3) applies instead.

§ 7 Open Source Software

(1) Open source software published by the Provider is licensed under the MIT License.

(2) The software is provided "as is" without any express or implied warranty.

(3) The Provider is not liable for damages arising from the use of open source software, unless caused by intent or gross negligence.

§ 8 Warranty for Services

(1) The Provider warrants that services meet the agreed requirements.

(2) Defects must be reported in writing immediately upon discovery.

(3) The warranty period is 12 months from acceptance, unless otherwise agreed.

§ 9 Liability

(1) The Provider is fully liable for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for intent and gross negligence.

(2) For slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages.

§ 10 Confidentiality

Both parties undertake to keep all confidential information obtained during collaboration secret and not to disclose it to third parties. This obligation continues after termination of the contract.

§ 11 Data Protection

Personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and in compliance with the GDPR.

§ 12 Usage Rights

(1) For individually created works, the Provider grants the customer a simple, perpetual right of use for the contractually agreed purpose upon full payment.

(2) Extended usage rights require a separate agreement.

§ 13 Term and Termination

(1) Individual orders end upon fulfillment of the agreed service.

(2) Ongoing contracts may be terminated by either party with 30 days' notice to the end of the month.

§ 14 Use of the mobile app ("Techlogia App")

(1) The free companion app "Techlogia App" is distributed via the Apple App Store (Apple Inc.) and Google Play (Google LLC). The end-user license agreements (EULAs) and the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective platform operators apply additionally to these GTC for the provision and updating of the app via these platforms. In the event of conflicts between the Provider's GTC and mandatory platform rules, the latter prevail to that extent.

(2) The app consumes the public API exposed at techlogia.de. There is no claim to permanent availability, functionality or unchanged feature scope of the app. The Provider reserves the right to adapt, restrict, discontinue or withdraw the app from the stores at any time.

(3) To ensure compatibility between app and backend, the Provider may set a minimum app version (force-update mechanism). If an installed app version is below this minimum, the backend API may refuse its use until the user updates the app via the respective store. Material changes to the minimum version are communicated as early as reasonably possible.

(4) Supplementary terms may apply to individual app features, in particular the Lab Terms for the learning platform and the privacy policy for data processing in the app context.

§ 15 Use of the Techlogia CLI

(1) In addition to the web interface at techlogia.de the provider offers an optional command-line tool (hereinafter "Techlogia CLI" or "CLI"). The CLI is available from the public npm registry under the package name techlogia (installation e. g. via npm install -g techlogia) and the source code is published under the MIT licence at github.com/TechLogia-de/techlogia-cli.

(2) The CLI accesses the same functionality as the web interface. In particular, the same Lab terms apply for using the "Lab" learning platform via the CLI as for the web version. This includes, without limitation:

  • the duties for proper use of the Lab VMs (no use for crypto mining, denial-of-service attacks, unauthorised access to third parties etc.);
  • the automated protection mechanisms (CPU watcher, bandwidth watcher, process watcher) and the account suspensions that may follow as a consequence;
  • the usage quotas (in particular the daily lab session limit), which are consumed jointly by CLI and web usage.

(3) The CLI is provided "as is" under the MIT licence. No particular availability, feature set or compatibility with all operating-system or Node.js versions is guaranteed. Non-backward-compatible changes (breaking changes) will be announced at least 60 days in advance in the release notes of the npm package and in the GitHub repository. An update banner inside the CLI signals when a new version is available.

(4) For the personal data processed when using the CLI (in particular locally stored login tokens, the transmitted user-agent header, server log files, the version check against the npm registry) we refer to the Privacy Policy, section 14 ("Techlogia CLI").

(5) You may uninstall the CLI at any time via npm uninstall -g techlogia. Any remaining tokens can additionally be removed via techlogia logout.

§ 16 School and university licences

(1) The provider offers a paid licence for the use of the “Lab” learning platform to schools and universities. The licence allows the creation of classes and student accounts in line with the chosen tier (Tier S/M/L or individual “Uni / Custom” quote). The current tier and feature set is published on techlogia.de/lab/schulen.

(2) Contract term: The licence is purchased for one school year (1 August – 31 July) or, at the school’s choice, for one calendar year (1 January – 31 December). It renews automatically for another year unless cancelled in text form (email to info@techlogia.de or via the Stripe customer portal) no later than 30 days before the end of the current term.

(3) Payment terms:

  • Payment methods: bank transfer against invoice (SEPA), SEPA core direct debit, or credit card. Selection happens via the payment processor Stripe.
  • Invoice payment term: NET 30 (30 days net from the invoice date). For SEPA direct debit the collection happens no earlier than 5 business days after the invoice is issued.
  • All prices exclude statutory VAT. For intra-EU B2B sales with a valid VAT-ID we invoice under the reverse-charge procedure.

(4) Prerequisite — DPA requirement: Before the contract is concluded or a licence is first activated, the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR must be signed by the school. Without a signed DPA the licence cannot be activated, since creating the first student account already constitutes processing of personal data.

(5) Late payment: The following escalation applies to overdue payments:

  • After 14 days overdue: written reminder; creation of new classes is disabled (read-only mode). Existing classes and student logins continue to work.
  • After 30 days overdue: the school-admin account is suspended; teacher and student logins are disabled. Reactivation after payment within 24 hours.
  • After 60 days overdue: extraordinary termination; the licence expires. Student data are deleted or returned in accordance with the DPA.

Default interest applies under § 288 BGB.

(6) Price changes: The provider may adjust licence prices once per calendar year. Price changes are communicated to the school in text form at least 60 days before they take effect; in case of an increase of more than 10 % vs. the prior year’s price the school has a special termination right, exercisable within 30 days of receiving the notice.

(7) Processing via Stripe: For billing we use the payment processor Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Ireland) as our processor. Details on the data shared and retention periods are in the Privacy Policy, section 15.

(8) Withdrawal and return: Since the contract is concluded exclusively between businesses or between a school as a public-law entity and the provider, there is no consumer right of withdrawal. A refund of already-paid licence fees during the current school year is excluded, except in the case of a material breach of duty by the provider.

§ 17 Final Provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

(2) The place of jurisdiction is Berlin, insofar as the customer is a merchant or legal entity under public law.

(3) If individual provisions are invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

As of: April 2026

Supplement 2026-06-08 — Use of the Password Check

The tool provided at /passwort-check for checking passwords against known data breaches is offered free of charge and without warranty („as is“).

  • The check relies on third-party data („Have I Been Pwned“) that may be incomplete or out of date.
  • A „not found“ result is not an assurance that a password is secure or otherwise uncompromised. A „found“ result means the password appears in publicly known datasets and should no longer be used.
  • The check is not a substitute for comprehensive security advice or for responsible password hygiene.
  • The computation happens in your browser; Techlogia never has access to entered passwords.
  • Liability for decisions made on the basis of the check result is excluded to the extent permitted by law; otherwise the liability provisions of these terms apply.

Supplement date: 2026-06-08
