c/o COCENTER
Koppoldstr. 1
86551 Aichach
Deutschland

Contact: support@kynxbot.de
Second contact channel: Discord support server

Competent state media authority: Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg (mabb) (Media Authority of Berlin-Brandenburg), Kleine Präsidentenstraße 1, 10178 Berlin, Germany – www.mabb.de

2. Description of the Service

KynxBot is a Discord bot that offers the following features:

  • Moderation tools (kick, ban, timeout) with custom messages
  • Welcome and farewell messages with card generation
  • Creation and management of embed messages
  • Stream notifications and content management
  • Ticket system for support requests
  • Mod panel for server moderation
  • Auto-role system
  • Command permissions and custom commands
  • GitHub and game update notifications
  • Server visibility and community features
  • Server information and statistics
  • AI features: bot assistant, help chat and creation and editing of images, videos and audio using AI (see section 4.3)
  • Voice AI (optional): voice AI in the voice channel via Google Gemini Live or a provider chosen by the server administrator with their own key; voice data is transmitted to that provider in this process (see the Privacy Policy, section on Voice AI, and section 4.5)

3. Eligibility

3.1 Requirements

To use the Bot, you must:

  • Have a valid Discord account
  • Have administrator permission on the Discord server
  • Be at least 13 years old and also meet the minimum age that Discord requires in your country (the current Discord Terms of Service are authoritative). For purchases and the newsletter: at least 16 years old or with parental consent; purchases by minors require the consent of their parents.
  • Accept these Terms of Use

Minors: You may only order paid services if you are of legal age or your parents or legal guardians consent. You confirm this in the order dialogue. If we learn that an order was placed without the necessary consent, we will refund it at the request of the legal guardians.

3.2 Inviting the Bot

The Bot can only be invited to Discord servers by users with administrator permission. Invitations are made via the official Discord bot invitation page.

4. Permitted Use

4.1 Permitted use

You may use the Bot exclusively for:

  • Legitimate moderation purposes
  • Community management
  • Server administration
  • Communication and information

4.2 Prohibited use

The following uses are expressly prohibited:

  • Spam or unsolicited messages
  • Violation of the Discord Terms of Service
  • Distribution of illegal content
  • Harassment or bullying
  • Copyright infringement
  • Commercial use without permission
  • Reverse engineering or manipulation of the Bot
  • Use for political or religious propaganda
  • Distribution of hate speech or discrimination

4.3 AI features and AI-generated content

  • You are talking to an AI: the bot assistant, help chat and voice AI are AI systems, not humans. Their answers may be incorrect; check important information yourself.
  • Labelling: we label images, videos and audio created or edited with AI as "AI-generated" (visible in the Discord embed and – for images – additionally in machine-readable form in the file). Do not remove this label when you redistribute the content, and do not pass off AI content as real (e.g. deepfakes of real people).
  • Your responsibility: you are responsible for your inputs (prompts, uploaded images/videos) and for the use of the results. Only upload content for which you hold the necessary rights, and do not upload images of other people without their consent.
  • Privacy check: inputs that go to an AI provider without a data processing agreement are automatically checked for personal data beforehand and anonymised or rejected where necessary (details in the Privacy Policy). If a server uses its own model (section 4.5), the server administrator decides on the provider and the transfer.
  • Website assistant: Without Premium you can use the assistant with a limited number of prompts per day (currently 5, tasks with up to 40 steps). If you have activated Premium for at least one server, much higher limits apply (currently 50 prompts per day, unlimited steps) within fair use. Continuing a task and answering its questions do not count as a new prompt. The current status is shown in the chat window. With Premium you can run the assistant with your own AI key; then no KynxBot limits apply (section 4.5 applies accordingly to your account).
  • Quotas: AI generations via KynxBot models are limited per server and per week (reset on Mondays at midnight, German time); you can see the current limits in the footer of the results and on the pricing page. KynxBot quotas do not apply to a server's own models (section 4.5); there the server administrator can set their own limits per server and per member.

4.4 Public content, notices and moderation

Some content is publicly visible, e.g. server listings in the community showcase (name, description, images, ratings). The following applies to such content:

  • Rules: illegal content, content that violates section 4.2, and sexual, violence-glorifying or content harmful to minors are not permitted.
  • Reporting: anyone can report content using "Report" directly on the listing or by e-mail to support@kynxbot.de. Please state which content is concerned and why it is illegal or in breach of the rules. If you provide an e-mail address, we will confirm receipt and inform you of our decision.
  • Decision: we review notices promptly, diligently and objectively – by a human being; we do not make automated decisions. Possible measures include hiding or removing the content and, in serious or repeated cases, exclusion from the showcase.
  • Statement of reasons and complaints: if we hide content, we inform the server owner and state our reasons. You may lodge a complaint against our decision – and, as the person submitting a notice, against a rejection – within six months by e-mail to support@kynxbot.de; we will review it again. Recourse to the courts remains open.
  • Point of contact for authorities, the European Commission and users (Art. 11, 12 DSA – Digital Services Act): support@kynxbot.de, languages German and English.

4.5 Own AI keys of a server

Server administrators can store their own API keys from AI providers in the server settings (“AI models & providers” or voice AI) and run single features with them. The following applies:

  • Instruction: by storing a key, the administrator instructs KynxBot to send the inputs of the chosen features on this server to the chosen provider.
  • Administrator's responsibility: they conclude the contract with the provider (including a data processing agreement if needed), check whether transfers to third countries are permitted, inform the members of their server, comply with the provider's usage policies and bear the costs charged by the provider.
  • Use of the key: we store the key encrypted and use it only for this server. KynxBot quotas do not apply to own models; the administrator can set their own limits.
  • Liability: we are not liable for the results, availability or data processing of the third-party provider; our liability under section 5 for our own fault remains unaffected.
  • Blocking: in case of misuse or violations of these terms we may block keys or switch off the feature for the server.
  • Indemnification: the administrator indemnifies us against third-party claims insofar as they are based on the use of their own provider and the administrator is responsible for them.

5. Liability and Warranty

5.1 Disclaimer

For the free features, we give no warranty for:

  • Uninterrupted availability
  • Error-free functionality
  • Completeness of the features
  • Compatibility with all Discord versions

5.2 Limitation of liability

Our liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), but limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

These limitations do not apply to damage resulting from injury to life, body or health, to defects that were fraudulently concealed, where a guarantee has been given, or to claims under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). Statutory warranty rights of consumers in respect of paid services remain unaffected.

5.3 User responsibility

You are responsible for:

  • The proper configuration of the Bot
  • Compliance with the Discord Terms of Service
  • The lawfulness of the content used
  • The protection of your server data

6. Data Protection and Transparency

6.1 Data protection

Personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy (information pursuant to Art. 13/14 GDPR, not part of the contract). Information about your own account: Privacy Center. Our standard DPA (data processing agreement) applies to server operators.

6.2 Admin access and transparency

Transparency: as the bot operator, authorised administrators have, for technical reasons, access to server configurations and settings stored via our Bot.

Purpose limitation: this access takes place exclusively for the following purposes:

  • Troubleshooting and technical support
  • Maintenance and improvement of the Bot's functionality
  • Handling explicit support requests
  • Ensuring system stability

Protection of sensitive data: ticket content, conversations and transcripts are not visible to bot administrators. This data is accessible exclusively to the server administrators who use the ticket system on their server.

Detailed information can be found in our Privacy Policy.

6.3 Consent and legal bases

The details of data processing are set out in our Privacy Policy. Where we require consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (e.g. for certain website features), we obtain it separately. Where processing is carried out for the performance of a contract or on the basis of a legitimate interest, no consent is required; your rights as a data subject remain unaffected.

Use of the Bot on a server can be ended by removing the Bot from the respective Discord server. In addition, you can exercise your data subject rights as described in the Privacy Policy.

6.4 Voice AI and information obligations towards server members

If you, as a server administrator or with corresponding permissions, activate the Voice AI or enable its use, you should be aware that voice/audio data from the voice channel may be transmitted via our Bot for processing by an AI – to Google Gemini Live or to a provider you chose with your own key (section 4.5) – and that transfers to third countries cannot be ruled out.

We provide transparency notices in the Bot and on the Website (including in the Discord embed and in the dashboard). Irrespective of this, depending on the nature and organisation of your community or on public-law requirements applicable to your server, you may consider your own notices to your members to be necessary (e.g. server rules, channel descriptions, adapted consents). Please obtain your own legal advice if necessary.

Detailed information from us as the bot operator can be found in the Privacy Policy in the section on Voice AI.

7. Availability and Maintenance

7.1 Availability

We strive to ensure high availability of the Service, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted accessibility.

7.2 Maintenance work

Maintenance work may lead to temporary outages. We endeavour to keep these to a minimum.

7.3 Updates

The Bot is updated regularly. New features may be added or existing ones changed.

8. Paid Services (Premium)

8.1 Conclusion of contract

The presentation of the packages on the pricing page does not constitute a binding offer. You submit a binding offer by confirming the General Terms and Conditions, the withdrawal policy and – in the case of minors – parental consent in the order dialogue, clicking the button "Zahlungspflichtig bestellen" ("Order with obligation to pay") and completing payment with our payment partner. The contract is concluded upon successful payment; we will send you the confirmation by e-mail. The language of the contract is German (English on request). We do not store the contract text (these General Terms and Conditions) separately for you; you can access and save it here at any time.

8.2 Services

  • Premium (subscription): Premium tier for your account: Premium features and increased limits (including more prompts for the website assistant, see section 4.3) plus the activation of one Discord server with Premium limits, term of one month each.
  • Server slots (subscription): activation of further Discord servers, can only be booked together with Premium or Premium Plus. Every additional server gets the limits of your tier (Premium or Premium Plus). Term of one month each.
  • Premium Plus (subscription): higher tier for your account: everything in Premium plus higher limits and extras (e.g. a badge and exclusive designs) on all your activated servers – including servers on additional server slots. The exact scope is shown on the pricing page. Term of one month each.
  • Server packages (subscription): additional features and higher limits for one Discord server each (e.g. "Streamer"; scope and price are shown on the pricing page), can only be booked together with Premium, term of one month each. In your profile, you specify which server receives the package.
  • AI packs (subscription, server pack): “AI pack” and “AI pack Pro” give a server of your choice additional AI generations per week (e.g. images, videos, music), on top of Premium; can only be booked together with Premium, term of one month each. In your profile you choose which of your Premium servers gets the pack; you can move it to another server later. The exact quotas are shown on the pricing page; for changes see section 8.10.
  • Premium vouchers (one-off payment): voucher codes for Premium with a fixed term (e.g. 1, 3 or 12 months) to give as gifts; see section 8.9.
  • Lifetime package and lifetime activations (one-off payment): permanent access to Premium features or server activations as a digital service for as long as KynxBot is operated. "Lifetime" refers to the lifetime of the service, not the lifetime of a person.

The exact scope of services is determined by the pricing page at the time of the order.

8.2a One subscription, one billing date

All subscription services (tier, server slots, server and AI packs) run in one subscription with a shared billing date – the day of your first subscription purchase. They are charged together monthly in advance.

  • Extending (e.g. switching from Premium to Premium Plus, more server slots, a pack): the extension applies immediately. You pay the pro rata amount for the rest of the current billing period right away; from the next billing date it is included in the shared monthly amount. You see both amounts in the order dialog before ordering.
  • Reducing (e.g. switching from Premium Plus to Premium, fewer server slots, removing a pack): the change applies from the next billing date. Until then you keep the scope you paid for; there is no pro rata refund.

8.3 Prices and taxes

The prices in euros displayed in the order dialogue apply. We are a small business within the meaning of § 19 UStG (German VAT Act) and therefore do not charge VAT; a corresponding notice appears in the order dialogue and on the invoice. If the purchase is processed via our payment partner as the seller (section 8.4), the payment partner charges the VAT applicable in your country; the price displayed in the order dialogue is the final price.

8.4 Payment and invoice

Payment partner as seller: where stated in the order dialogue, the purchase is processed via Link (a company of the Stripe group) as the seller ("merchant of record", Stripe Managed Payments). In that case, Link accepts the payment, calculates and remits the VAT, issues your receipt or invoice and processes refunds; Link's terms, which you will see during checkout, apply additionally. The payment will then appear on your bank statement under "Link". The actual service (Premium, packages, vouchers) continues to be provided by us under these Terms of Use; you can also assert your rights of withdrawal and warranty directly against us at any time.

Payment is processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Ireland). You will see which payment methods (e.g. credit card, SEPA direct debit, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay) are offered during checkout. Subscription amounts fall due at the beginning of each billing period and are collected automatically. You will receive invoices electronically by e-mail; you can also find them in your profile at any time.

8.5 Term, renewal and cancellation of subscriptions

Subscriptions run for one month and are automatically renewed for a further month each time unless cancelled. You can cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing period – without a notice period:

  • via the button "Verträge hier kündigen" ("Cancel contracts here") (accessible without login),
  • in your profile under "Abo & Zahlungen" ("Subscription & payments") or in the Stripe customer portal,
  • by e-mail to support@kynxbot.de.

All benefits remain available until the end of the paid period. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

8.6 Payment default

If a subscription payment fails, we will inform you by e-mail. Stripe will attempt the payment again. If the payment is not made within a few days, the Premium benefits will end until payment has been made.

8.7 Price changes for subscriptions

We only change the prices of ongoing subscriptions with your express consent. We will announce a planned price change by e-mail at least 30 days in advance. If you do not consent, your subscription will continue at the previous price; we may then terminate it with one month's notice to the end of a billing period. You can cancel at any time with effect from the end of the billing period (section 8.5).

8.8 Warranty

The statutory provisions apply to paid services, in particular those on digital products (§§ 327 et seq. BGB – German Civil Code). Section 5 does not restrict these rights vis-à-vis consumers.

8.9 Premium vouchers

  • After payment, you will receive the voucher code by e-mail; you can also find all purchased codes in your profile under "Meine Gutscheine" ("My vouchers").
  • A code can be redeemed once in the profile under "Code einlösen" ("Redeem code") and unlocks Premium for the stated term. The term begins upon redemption; Premium then ends automatically – no subscription is created.
  • Codes are transferable and may be given as gifts, but may not be resold commercially. Payout in cash is excluded.
  • Codes can be redeemed for three years from the end of the year of purchase (§ 195 BGB). Keep the code safe; we are only liable for lost codes or codes redeemed by third parties if we are responsible for this.

8.10 Changes to quotas and AI models

AI quotas (e.g. number of images, videos or prompts per week) and the AI models used for them depend on external providers. We may adjust them for a valid reason, in particular if prices or conditions change at the provider or a model is discontinued, to prevent misuse, or for technical or legal reasons. In that case we replace a model with an equivalent one where available.

  • Increases of quotas apply immediately.
  • Reductions for running subscriptions are announced at least 30 days in advance (by e-mail or in the dashboard). You can cancel the affected subscription free of charge until the change takes effect; until then the previous scope applies for the remaining paid term.
  • No notice period applies to free quotas (Free) and to quotas expressly marked as temporary.

9. Withdrawal Policy

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after fourteen days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Julius Zeeck (KynxStudios), c/o COCENTER, Koppoldstr. 1, 86551 Aichach, Deutschland, e-mail: support@kynxbot.de) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form below or our online withdrawal function at "Vertrag widerrufen" ("Withdraw from contract"), but it is not obligatory. If you use the online function, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal by e-mail without delay. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you requested to begin the performance of services during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated to us your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

Early expiry of the right of withdrawal

In the case of contracts for digital services (subscriptions, lifetime package and lifetime activations), the right of withdrawal expires when we have fully performed the service and you have previously given your express consent for us to begin before the end of the withdrawal period and have acknowledged this. For the lifetime package and lifetime activations you can therefore withdraw within the 14-day withdrawal period; as compensation for the time used we charge 1/30 of the monthly price of the comparable monthly subscription (Premium or server slot) per day or part of a day, at most the price paid. In the case of Premium vouchers, you may withdraw within the withdrawal period as long as the code has not yet been redeemed; performance begins upon redemption.

End of withdrawal policy

10. Dispute Resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If you have any questions or problems, please contact us directly at support@kynxbot.de.

11. Termination of Use

11.1 Termination by the user

You can stop using the Bot at any time by removing the Bot from your Discord server. You cancel paid subscriptions as described in section 8.5 – at any time via the button "Verträge hier kündigen" ("Cancel contracts here"), in your profile or by e-mail to support@kynxbot.de.

11.2 Termination by us

We reserve the right to terminate use or to remove the Bot from servers in the event of violations of these terms. We may terminate ongoing paid subscriptions with ordinary notice of one month to the end of a billing period; the right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected. We will refund on a pro rata basis any periods already paid for that can no longer be used, unless the termination is based on a breach on your part.

12. Changes to the Terms of Use

We may amend these Terms of Use with effect for the future, for example in the case of new features or changes in the legal situation. We will announce material changes via the Website and – in the case of paid contracts – by e-mail at least 30 days in advance. For existing paid contracts, changes affecting the service, the price or your rights only apply with your express consent – silence does not constitute consent. If you do not consent, the previous terms continue to apply to your contract; we may then terminate it with one month's notice to the end of a billing period. Purely editorial changes or adjustments to mandatory statutory requirements that do not adversely affect your rights apply from publication.

13. Final Provisions

13.1 Applicable law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in another EU member state, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of that state remain unaffected.

13.2 Place of jurisdiction

The place of jurisdiction is our place of business, provided that you are a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.

13.3 Severability clause

Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

13.4 Entire agreement

Individual agreements with you take precedence over these Terms of Use (§ 305b BGB).

Contact: if you have any questions about these Terms of Use, you can reach us by e-mail at support@kynxbot.de or, as a second contact channel, via our Discord support server.
