Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ProteusIQ, an AI-powered advertising creative generation service operated by Beeldify, a sole trader registered in the Netherlands ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

ProteusIQ allows users to upload product images and generate advertising creatives in multiple formats using artificial intelligence. Outputs are generated by third-party AI models and may vary in quality. We do not guarantee specific creative results for any input.

2. Account

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. Credits and Subscription

  • Subscription pricing is displayed at checkout and on our pricing page. Prices include applicable VAT where required.
  • Each subscription period grants you a fixed allocation of credits, which reset on your monthly renewal date.
  • Credits are non-transferable and do not roll over to the next billing period — unused credits expire at the end of each month.
  • One credit is consumed per generation job per selected format.
  • Free trial credits, where offered, follow the same rules and cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash.

4. Payment and Billing

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis. Prices shown on the pricing page are estimates based on your detected location and include an estimated local tax rate. The final price, inclusive of the applicable tax rate for your country of residence, is confirmed at checkout. Tax rates may vary by country — users outside the European Union may see different pricing or tax treatment in accordance with local regulations. We reserve the right to change pricing with at least 30 days' notice.

5. No Refund Policy

All purchases are final. Because ProteusIQ is a digital service that begins immediately upon subscription, you expressly waive your right of withdrawal under EU consumer law (Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU) at the point of purchase. No refunds will be issued for unused credits, partial billing periods, or dissatisfaction with AI-generated outputs.

6. Service Availability

We aim to keep ProteusIQ available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The service depends on third-party providers including Google Gemini AI and Supabase. We are not liable for outages, delays, or failures caused by these providers. In the event of extended downtime caused by us, we may issue credit compensation at our discretion — this is not a contractual obligation.

7. Acceptable Use

  • You may not use the service to generate content that is illegal, defamatory, or violates third-party intellectual property rights.
  • You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the platform or its API.
  • You may not resell or redistribute access to the service without our written permission.
  • Commercial use of generated outputs is permitted within your subscription.

8. AI-Generated Content

Outputs generated by ProteusIQ are produced by AI models and may not always accurately reproduce text, logos, or visual elements from your source image. You are responsible for reviewing all outputs before commercial use. We accept no liability for errors in AI-generated content, including but not limited to misspelled text, distorted logos, or inaccurate product representations.

9. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of images you upload. You own the AI-generated outputs produced from your uploads, subject to the acceptable use terms above. The ProteusIQ platform, its branding, and underlying technology remain the property of Beeldify.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Dutch law, Beeldify is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 30 days preceding the claim.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes shall be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notice. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ProteusIQ uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our service.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help us keep you logged in and provide a functional experience.

Cookies We Use

  • Authentication cookies — set by Supabase to maintain your login session. These are strictly necessary for the service to function and cannot be disabled.
  • Session cookies — temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser, used to manage your active session.

What We Do Not Use

  • We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
  • We do not use third-party analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics).
