These Terms of Use govern your use of Slidesmith.ai and the services we provide.
Last updated: April 19, 2025
These Terms of Use (hereinafter “ToU”) apply to the provision and use of Slidesmith.ai's cross‑platform Software‑as‑a‑Service (SaaS) for collaboratively creating, editing, and sharing presentations (hereinafter the “Software”) by Slidesmith.ai (“Slidesmith.ai”). Free services address both consumers (Verbraucher) pursuant to Section 13 German Civil Code, and businesses (Unternehmer) pursuant to Section 14 German Civil Code. Paid Plans (defined in Section 3.2) are offered exclusively to companies or persons qualifying as entrepreneurs (Unternehmer); the contracting party is hereinafter the “Customer” (together with Slidesmith.ai the “Parties”).
Note: Customers acting as consumers are those using the Software predominantly outside their trade, business or profession.
Deviations from these ToU are effective only if confirmed in writing by Slidesmith.ai. Slidesmith.ai may amend these ToU for legal or product‑related reasons; amendments become effective unless you object in writing within one month of notice.
To access the Service, the Customer selects a login method and, by checking the boxes, accepts these ToU, the Privacy Policy, and Data Processing Agreement. Completing signup creates a workspace to invite other users (“Workspace Members”).
Customers subscribing to a Paid Plan warrant they act as entrepreneurs under Section 14 BGB and are authorized to bind their entity to these ToU.
The Software is a cross‑platform SaaS for collaboratively creating, editing, and sharing presentations (“Contract Purpose”). Slidesmith.ai offers Free Plans and Paid Plans; your scope of Service (“Plan”) is determined by what you select on the Pricing Page.
Slidesmith.ai's availability commitments depend on your Plan:
Slidesmith.ai may roll out Updates. If an Update materially impairs the Software (“Material Change”), you'll receive notice four weeks in advance and may object within two weeks. If you object, you may terminate for good cause.
You may publicly share presentations on slidesmith.ai or via your custom domain. All rules in Section 4 (use, compliance, removal) apply equally.
