7.1 The Provider shall be liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health that are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by the Provider, its legal representatives, or agents, as well as for damages that are based on intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty.
7.2 For damages caused by slight negligence, the Provider shall only be liable in case of a breach of a material contractual obligation and only to the extent of the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment enables the proper execution of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the User may regularly rely.
7.3 The App serves exclusively for practice purposes. The Provider does not guarantee that the provided practice cases, sample answers, or the AI-based feedback will actually help Users successfully pass job interviews. The App does not replace professional consultation.
7.4 The Provider is not liable for the accuracy, completeness, and currentness of the content provided in the App, the AI feedback, and the AI-supported mock interviews. It is expressly noted that AI-generated content and interactions may contain errors and do not exactly reproduce the quality or content of real interviews.

8.4 Upon termination of the usage relationship, all user accounts and data entered by the User will be deleted after the expiration of statutory retention periods.
9.1 The Provider collects and uses personal data of the User only within the framework of legal provisions. More detailed information on the processing of user data can be found in the separate Privacy Policy of the Provider.

9.4.3 Both the transcribed texts and the photos are processed for the immediate provision of the service (AI-based feedback) and beyond that stored for the improvement of our App. This storage helps us to train our AI models, improve the quality of feedback, and develop new features.
9.4.4 By using these functions, you agree to the storage and use as described. You can revoke this consent at any time, which, however, does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
