Last Updated: March 22, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website situationaldynamics.com ("Website") and the managed content services ("Services") provided by Thomas Halbritter, operating as Halbritter Media, Rathausstr. 41, 84082 Laberweinting, Germany ("Provider," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing the Website or subscribing to our Services, you ("Client," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Description of Services

Situational Dynamics operates a managed content service ("Software-with-a-Service" or "SwaS"). We generate and publish social media content on behalf of our clients using artificial intelligence and automated publishing infrastructure.

The Service includes AI-generated written and visual content across supported social media platforms, automated scheduling and publishing of approved content, brand analysis and content personalization based on your brand questionnaire, and a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) approval workflow via email.

The Service does not include access to the underlying technical infrastructure, workflows, or automation architecture. All infrastructure components, workflow logic, prompt engineering strategies, rendering pipelines, and design systems are proprietary intellectual property of the Provider.

2. Subscription and Payment

2.1 Pricing

The Service is offered as a monthly subscription at the price displayed on the checkout page at the time of purchase. All prices are quoted in USD. Payments are processed through Stripe.

2.2 Billing Cycle

Subscriptions are billed monthly on a recurring basis. Your subscription automatically renews each month unless cancelled.

2.3 VAT and Taxes

For business customers (B2B) within the European Union who provide a valid VAT identification number, the reverse charge mechanism applies pursuant to Article 196 of the EU VAT Directive (2006/112/EC). You are responsible for self-assessing and remitting any applicable VAT on your own tax return.

For all other customers, you are responsible for determining and paying any applicable taxes, duties, or levies arising from your purchase in your jurisdiction.

2.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, your Service will remain active until the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial months. After cancellation, we will cease generating and publishing content on your behalf. Content already published on your social media channels remains on those platforms and is your responsibility.

3. Client Obligations

3.1 Brand Questionnaire

You agree to complete the brand questionnaire accurately and in good faith. The quality and relevance of AI-generated content depends directly on the information you provide.

3.2 Social Media Account Access

You will connect your social media accounts to our publishing infrastructure via OAuth authentication through Buffer. You will never be asked to share passwords or login credentials directly. You are responsible for maintaining valid account connections.

3.3 Content Approval (Human-in-the-Loop)

This clause is material to the agreement and governs the allocation of liability for published content.

All content generated by our AI systems is sent to you for approval before it is scheduled for publication. You will receive individual approval emails for each piece of content, containing "Approve" and "Reject" options.

By clicking "Approve," you confirm that you have reviewed the content and accept full responsibility for its publication on your social media channels. You acknowledge that once you approve content for publication, you bear sole responsibility for that content, including but not limited to its accuracy, legal compliance in your jurisdiction, compliance with platform terms of service, suitability for your audience, and any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from the publication of that content.

The Provider's role is limited to generating content proposals and executing publication of content that you have explicitly approved. The Provider does not review approved content for legal compliance, factual accuracy, or suitability for your specific use case.

4. Artificial Intelligence Disclaimer

4.1 AI-Generated Content

The Services use artificial intelligence models to generate written and visual content. You acknowledge and agree to the following:

AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, factual mistakes, or inconsistencies. AI models can produce output that is misleading, incomplete, or inappropriate despite our quality control measures. The Provider makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, originality, or legal compliance of any AI-generated content. You are solely responsible for reviewing all content before approving it for publication.

4.2 No Guarantee of Results

The Provider does not guarantee any specific outcomes, results, or performance metrics from the use of the Services. This includes, but is not limited to, follower growth, engagement rates, reach, impressions, conversions, revenue, or any other measure of social media or business performance.

Past performance data, case studies, testimonials, or examples presented on the Website or in marketing materials are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of future results. Individual results vary based on factors including but not limited to industry, audience, platform algorithms, content quality, and market conditions.

4.3 Client Responsibility

You are responsible for independently verifying the accuracy of all AI-generated content before approval. You should treat all AI output as a draft that requires your review and judgment. You should not approve content that you have not read and understood. You should not rely on AI-generated content as a substitute for professional advice in any domain (legal, financial, medical, or otherwise).

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Provider IP

All infrastructure, workflow logic, automation architecture, prompt engineering strategies, rendering pipelines, design systems, layout engines, and any other technical components used to deliver the Services are and remain the exclusive intellectual property of the Provider. No license, right, or interest in any Provider IP is granted to you under these Terms.

5.2 Client Content

You retain ownership of any content, brand assets, logos, or materials you provide to us. By providing such materials, you grant us a non-exclusive, revocable license to use them solely for the purpose of delivering the Services.

5.3 Generated Content

Upon your payment of the applicable subscription fees, you receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use the AI-generated content that has been approved and published through the Services. The Provider retains the right to use anonymized, aggregated performance data derived from the Services to improve its systems.

6. Limitation of Liability

6.1 General Limitation

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider's total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to the Provider during the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

6.2 Exclusion of Damages

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Provider be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or reputational damage, regardless of the theory of liability and even if the Provider has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

6.3 AI-Specific Limitation

The Provider shall not be liable for any damages, claims, or losses arising from content that you have approved for publication through the HITL approval process, errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in AI-generated content, decisions made by you or third parties based on AI-generated content, intellectual property claims related to AI-generated content that you approved for publication, or violations of platform terms of service resulting from content you approved.

6.4 Force Majeure

The Provider shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, internet outages, third-party API failures or changes (including but not limited to social media platforms, AI model providers, hosting services, and payment processors), changes in platform terms of service or algorithms, or government actions or regulatory changes.

6.5 Mandatory Liability Under German Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health due to negligence or intentional breach by the Provider, for damages caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or for liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). In cases of slight negligence, the Provider's liability is limited to breaches of material contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten), and in such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

7. Informational Purposes

All information, content, and materials presented on the Website, including but not limited to blog posts, landing pages, marketing materials, case studies, and descriptions of our Services, are provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this Website constitutes professional, legal, financial, tax, or business advice. You should consult qualified professionals before making decisions based on information found on this Website.

8. Third-Party Services

The Services rely on third-party platforms, APIs, and services. The Provider is not responsible for the availability, performance, or terms of any third-party service. Changes to third-party services, APIs, pricing, or terms may affect the delivery of our Services. In the event of material changes to third-party services that impact our ability to deliver the Services, we will notify you and, if necessary, adjust the Services accordingly.

9. Data Protection

The collection and processing of personal data is governed by our separate Privacy Policy, available at situationaldynamics.com/privacy. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease. We will stop generating and publishing content on your behalf. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Sections 5, 6, 7, and 12) shall survive.

11. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to active subscribers via email at least 30 days before they take effect.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and any conflict of law provisions.

For consumers within the EU, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which the consumer is habitually resident shall apply where they provide a higher level of protection.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely achieves the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order forms or subscription confirmations, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
