We are not responsible for credits consumed by failed requests where the failure is caused by your own input, network conditions on your side, or your WordPress environment. Credits consumed by requests that fail due to a verified error on our end will be reviewed and may be reinstated at our sole discretion.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Your Content

You retain full ownership of all web page content, HTML, CSS, and other output you generate using Designer Talk. Hostalot claims no ownership or license rights over the content you create using our services.

6.2 Our Intellectual Property

The Designer Talk plugin, its source code (including obfuscated components), design, branding, system prompts, and all associated software are the exclusive property of Hostalot LLC. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property beyond the limited license to use the plugin as described herein.

6.3 Limited License to Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Designer Talk plugin on your authorized WordPress installations for the purpose of building and publishing web pages.

6.4 Third-Party AI Models

Content generated by our service is produced by third-party AI models (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). By using our service, you also agree to comply with the usage policies of those providers as they relate to AI-generated content. Hostalot is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or legality of AI-generated output.

7. Privacy and Data

By using our services, you acknowledge our collection and use of data as described in our Privacy Policy. Key points relevant to Designer Talk:

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Neither we nor — per their commercial API terms — our AI providers use your content to train AI models by default. Our websites use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, and retargeting pixels as described in the Privacy Policy. We also send registration and purchase events from our servers to our advertising partners for measurement, with contact details hashed before transmission.

8. AI Transparency

8.1 Content Is AI-Generated

Page sections, text, and images produced through Designer Talk are generated by artificial intelligence. Output may contain factual errors, may resemble existing works, and should not be relied upon without review.

8.2 Our Marking Obligations

Where required by applicable law — including Article 50(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act) — we mark AI-generated output so that it is detectable as artificially generated. Images produced through our image generation feature carry the watermarking applied by the underlying model provider. We are extending machine-readable marking to generated page markup in line with the EU Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content.

8.3 Your Obligations When You Publish

You are the publisher of any content you generate with Designer Talk. Depending on where you and your audience are located, you may have your own disclosure obligations. In particular, under Article 50(4) of the EU AI Act, AI-generated text published for the purpose of informing the public on matters of public interest must be disclosed as artificially generated. That obligation does not apply where the text has undergone genuine human review or editorial control and a natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility for its publication.

Reviewing, editing, and approving output before publication is your responsibility, not ours (see Section 11).

8.4 Interacting With AI

The Designer Talk builder is an AI system and is identified as such throughout the product and its documentation. You acknowledge that you are interacting with artificial intelligence when using it.

9. Uptime and Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability of our services but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Our API may experience downtime due to maintenance, infrastructure issues, or third-party AI provider outages.

We are not liable for any losses, lost content, or missed opportunities resulting from service downtime or unavailability. Credit refunds for downtime are not provided unless Hostalot determines, at its sole discretion, that a significant outage materially impacted your service.

10. Suspension and Termination

10.1 Termination by You

You may cancel your account at any time by contacting us at support@hostalot.com. Upon cancellation, your access to the service will end. No refunds will be issued for unused credits.

10.2 Termination by Hostalot

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we determine that you have:

Upon termination for violation of these Terms, all remaining credits are immediately forfeited without refund. Hostalot is not liable for any damages resulting from account termination.

10.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your API key will be deactivated, your access to the service will end, and your conversation history and generated data may be deleted.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

HOSTALOT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.

YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING, EDITING, AND APPROVING ANY AI-GENERATED CONTENT BEFORE PUBLISHING IT.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HOSTALOT LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO HOSTALOT IN THE 90 DAYS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hostalot LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the services, your violation of these Terms, content you generate or publish using our services, or your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Governing Law, Disputes, and Arbitration

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

14.1 Mandatory Binding Arbitration

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, you and Hostalot agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. This applies to all claims whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory.

Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS under its applicable rules, available at jamsadr.com. The arbitration shall take place in Texas (or by videoconference at either party's election). The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Hostalot will pay JAMS filing fees for claims under $10,000 unless the arbitrator finds your claim to be frivolous.

14.2 Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of mandatory arbitration by sending written notice to support@hostalot.com within 30 days of first creating your account. Your notice must include your name, account email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in state or federal courts in Texas as set out in Section 14.4.

14.3 Waiver of Class Actions

YOU AND HOSTALOT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class proceeding.

If this class action waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, then that claim will proceed in court rather than arbitration, and all other claims will remain subject to arbitration.

14.4 Court Jurisdiction (Exceptions)

The following disputes are not subject to mandatory arbitration and may be brought in court:

For any court proceeding, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State of Texas.

15. Force Majeure

Hostalot shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

In the event of a force majeure event, we will make reasonable efforts to restore service as quickly as possible and will communicate status updates where practical. Credits will not be refunded for service disruptions caused by force majeure events.
