Terms of Service

These Terms of Service apply to all services provided by Anticipater GmbH ("DevShot"), including the public Studio, AI-assisted Console, VM provisioning, REST API, and related infrastructure. They apply to registered customers and, where relevant, visitors who use Studio without an account.

A contract is formed when you register and activate a DevShot account, confirm a paid session or subscription, or use a Studio function that is expressly offered subject to these Terms. By doing so, you accept these Terms. Website offers remain non-binding until DevShot confirms the relevant service.

DevShot provides:

• Docker-based agent deployment on customer infrastructure
• On-demand isolated VM sessions with Alpine Linux
• Browser-based console with terminal and remote desktop access
• AI-assisted generation, review, computer-use, and optional AI voice output
• REST API for programmatic VM and server management
• Hardware-level VM isolation via KVM hypervisor
• Dedicated RAM and CPU resources per VM

The exact service parameters are specified in the selected plan at the time of booking.

Fees are charged according to the plan selected (per session, monthly, or usage-based). All prices are shown inclusive of applicable VAT. Invoices are due immediately upon issuance. Late payments accrue interest at 9 percentage points above the base interest rate.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store card details.

You agree not to use DevShot for:

• Illegal activities or violating applicable law
• Creating, uploading, or distributing content that is illegal, deceptive, discriminatory, exploitative, defamatory, or that infringes intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other third-party rights
• Attacking, scanning, or probing third-party infrastructure without authorization
• Malware, phishing, credential theft, spam, surveillance, evasion, or attempts to bypass security or safety controls
• Processing personal or confidential data without a valid legal basis, necessary notices, permissions, and safeguards
• Manipulative or prohibited AI practices, including uses prohibited by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
• Nuclear, aviation-control, life-support, weapons, or other safety-critical uses where an error could cause death, injury, or substantial damage
• Removing, concealing, or falsifying AI disclosures, provenance data, safety markers, logs, or technical identifiers
• Use by sanctioned or restricted persons, or from territories subject to comprehensive sanctions, contrary to applicable export-control or sanctions law
• Cryptocurrency mining beyond fair use thresholds
• Any activity that materially disrupts other users or the platform

If you make DevShot available to your own users, you must contractually pass on restrictions that are at least as protective as this section and operate an effective abuse-reporting and removal process. DevShot may immediately restrict, suspend, or remove affected content, functions, sessions, or accounts. You must cooperate with urgent investigations and take requested remedial action within 24 hours of notice.

Studio clearly identifies direct interaction with an AI system, and generated output in the Studio interface carries a visible label. Generated text, image, and audio delivered through the AI service carry non-intrusive technical identifiers instead: marker response headers on every such response, and — for text and image — a devshot_ai_disclosure member in the response body. You must preserve these disclosures and identifiers when publishing, embedding, or passing outputs to others. If you publish deepfakes or AI-generated or manipulated text intended to inform the public on matters of public interest, you remain responsible for any additional disclosure required by applicable law.

If you build your own product on the AI service, you are the provider or deployer of that product. You must tell your users that they are interacting with an AI system, at the latest at the first interaction, and meet the transparency, accessibility, and AI-literacy duties that apply to you. GET /api/ai/transparency publishes the current marking contract, DevShot's role determination, and the capability and limitation information you need to meet those duties; it is available without a key and is updated in place. Content published on the DevShot website that was drafted by an AI system is labelled as such.

DevShot assumes the general-purpose AI provider obligations of Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as a deliberately conservative posture, although DevShot trains no model and holds no model weights. GET /api/ai/transparency publishes that posture, the underlying analysis, and a duty-by-duty register with the open items named — including the two duties that cannot be discharged without documentation from the upstream model providers. DevShot does not publish an invented training-content summary in their place. The same document publishes DevShot's copyright policy under Article 53(1)(c), which respects reservations of rights expressed under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and does not circumvent technical protection measures or paywalls.

You are responsible for reviewing outputs before use, publication, deployment, or reliance. Where you use DevShot in a professional workflow, you must ensure appropriate human oversight, staff AI literacy, accessibility, and any sector-specific notices.

AI outputs are probabilistic. DevShot does not guarantee that output is accurate, complete, current, secure, original, non-infringing, or suitable for a particular purpose. AI output is not legal, medical, financial, tax, employment, safety, or other professional advice. Obtain qualified professional advice where appropriate.

You must independently test generated code and verify facts, permissions, licences, security, and regulatory requirements before relying on or shipping output. Similar or identical output may be generated for other users. To the extent permitted by law, you receive only such rights in an output as DevShot is able to grant; third-party rights remain unaffected.

Do not submit special-category data, secrets, credentials, or third-party personal data to AI functions unless this is necessary, you have lawful authority, and the applicable DevShot data-processing terms cover the workflow. Optional AI voice requires a separate in-product disclosure and confirmation before generated reply text is sent to the speech service. You can withdraw by turning AI voice off.

Details about data categories, recipients, transfers, retention, and your rights are in our Privacy Policy. Business customers that process personal data on behalf of others must enter into any required data-processing agreement before production use.

DevShot is liable for damages only in cases of intent and gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence is excluded unless essential contractual obligations are breached. Liability is in any case limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.

DevShot does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance where possible.

Both parties agree to treat all confidential information obtained during the contractual relationship strictly confidential and not to disclose it to third parties. This obligation continues after termination of the contract.

Your VM session data is isolated and not accessible to other users. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

You may not use DevShot to store, publish or share content that is illegal, that infringes third-party rights, that distributes malware or serves phishing or fraud, that depicts the sexual abuse of children, or that incites terrorism or violence. This applies to everything we host for you: live workspaces, shared previews and published sites.

How a restriction happens. We restrict content either after a notice under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), submitted through our notice-and-action form, or after our own check. Every decision is taken by a person; we use no automated tools and no algorithmic decision-making to detect, rank or restrict content.

What a restriction is. Depending on the case: a published site is disabled, a shared link is withdrawn, or a project is suspended. You receive a statement of reasons under Article 17 — what was restricted, the facts we relied on, the ground (this section or the legal provision), the fact that no automated means were used, and how to contest it. You can contest a decision by replying to abuse@devshot.com, and you can take the matter to court or to your national Digital Services Coordinator.

Where the exemptions are. As a micro enterprise within the meaning of Article 19 of that Regulation, we are exempt from the additional obligations for online platforms in Articles 20 to 28 — including the internal complaint-handling system and out-of-court dispute settlement — and from the annual transparency report under Article 15(2). The obligations in Articles 11, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 18 apply to us and are the ones described here. If that status changes, this section changes with it.

Either party may terminate the contract with 4 weeks notice to the end of the month. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. Services already rendered are to be remunerated.

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Place of jurisdiction is Karlsruhe, provided the customer is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law.
