VKontrol processes uploaded documents and associated data solely for the purpose of providing the Service. 

For optical character recognition (OCR) and data extraction, we use Amazon Textract (Amazon Inc., USA) and OpenAI (OpenAI, USA) as subprocessors. Uploaded data is initially stored in a secure database for operational processing and user edits for approximately one (1) month, and subsequently archived securely in an encrypted storage system for the duration required under applicable compliance laws, typically eight (8) years. Upon account deletion, operational data is purged unless retention is legally required for compliance purposes (e.g., financial data archiving). All personal data is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using the Service, you also accept our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement, which govern our handling of your data.  6. Service Availability VKontrol strives to provide continuous access to the Service but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. 
No service-level agreement (SLA) is provided unless separately agreed in writing. While no formal SLA applies, VKontrol endeavors to maintain a monthly uptime rate of 99% or higher. Scheduled maintenance and unforeseen downtimes may occur without liability.  7. Warranties Disclaimer The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. VKontrol makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the Service, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Without limiting the foregoing, VKontrol does not warrant that the Service will operate without interruptions, be error-free, or meet your specific requirements.  8. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VKontrol shall not be liable for: Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Loss of profits, revenue, or data. Errors arising from the use of third-party services (Amazon Textract, OpenAI). 

In any case, VKontrol’s total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you to VKontrol in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. 

This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability arising from breaches of data protection laws, including the GDPR. 

 9. Subprocessors

VKontrol shall ensure that subprocessors comply with equivalent data protection obligations as set out in these Terms.

10.2 The intentional upload of unsupported document types, including but not limited to contracts, identification documents, personal correspondence, or any content irrelevant to the Services, is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of the account. 

10.3 Furthermore, users must not intentionally upload personal data beyond what is necessary for the intended and described processing purposes. Uploading unnecessary sensitive or special categories of personal data (e.g., medical records, biometric data, political opinions) is explicitly prohibited. 

10.4 VKontrol reserves the right to review uploaded documents to ensure compliance with these restrictions and to take corrective action, including termination of service, where necessary.

The District Court of Luxembourg City (Tribunal d'Arrondissement de Luxembourg) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court. 

 12. Disclaimer Regarding AI Usage 

The Service uses artificial intelligence (AI) models, including large language models provided by OpenAI, to extract, analyze, and structure data from documents. 

While VKontrol endeavors to ensure a high degree of accuracy, no AI system can guarantee 100% precision. 

The extracted data is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, accounting, or tax advice. Users must independently verify extracted data. VKontrol shall not be liable for any decision made based on the extracted information. 

Users remain solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of the extracted information before relying on it for any decisions. 

 13. Modifications 

VKontrol reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time.
