BETA PRODUCT NOTICE: The IndusTrans Industrial Translation Device is a product currently in development and is offered as a pre-release ("beta") solution. Functionality may be incomplete, subject to change, and should not yet be relied upon for safety-critical, life-critical, or legally binding industrial operations without independent human verification.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between IndusTrans Technologies B.V. ("IndusTrans", "we", "us", or "our") and you, whether as an individual or as a representative of a legal entity ("you" or "Client"), governing your access to and use of the IndusTrans website, the IndusTrans Industrial Translation Device, associated software, firmware, APIs, and any related documentation or services (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing our website, registering for the beta programme, or using the Services in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any supplementary agreements (such as a Beta Participation Agreement or Data Processing Agreement) that may apply.
If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. These Terms are governed by Dutch law and applicable European Union regulations.
You may use the Services only if:

• You are using the Services for professional, commercial, or industrial purposes
• You are not located in, or acting on behalf of an entity in, a jurisdiction subject to EU or Dutch trade sanctions or export restrictions
• You have accepted these Terms and any additional agreements required for your use case
The Services are currently provided as a pre-release beta product. By participating in the beta programme, you acknowledge and agree that:
• The product is under active development and may contain errors, bugs, or incomplete functionality
• Features, specifications, and supported language pairs may change or be removed without notice during the beta phase
• Translation outputs should be reviewed by a qualified human before being used in any operational, regulatory, or safety-relevant context
• We may suspend or terminate beta access at any time at our sole discretion
• Your feedback and usage data may be used to improve the product (subject to our Privacy Policy)
• Beta access does not guarantee access to, or any particular terms for, the commercial product upon its release
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services solely for your internal professional or industrial evaluation purposes during the beta period.
You must not:

• Submit any content that is defamatory, obscene, or infringes third-party intellectual property rights
• Use the Services in safety-critical environments (e.g. nuclear, medical, aerospace) without independent human verification and appropriate regulatory approvals
All intellectual property rights in and to the Services, including the translation algorithms, software, firmware, user interfaces, trademarks, and documentation, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IndusTrans Technologies B.V. or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of intellectual property to you.
You retain ownership of any industrial terminology, glossaries, or content you submit for translation. By submitting such content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to process that content solely as necessary to deliver and improve the Services, subject to our Privacy Policy.
During the beta programme, we may share with you non-public information about the product, roadmap, or technology ("Confidential Information"). You agree to:
• Keep Confidential Information strictly confidential
• Use Confidential Information only for the purpose of evaluating and using the Services
• Not disclose Confidential Information to third parties without our prior written consent
• Notify us promptly if you become aware of any unauthorised disclosure
These obligations do not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by applicable law or a court order.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" DURING THE BETA PERIOD. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INDUSTRANS MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OF TRANSLATION OUTPUT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
In particular, we do not warrant that:
• Translation outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific industrial or regulatory purpose
• The Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from security vulnerabilities during the beta phase
• Any defects identified during beta testing will be corrected prior to commercial release
Industrial Safety Notice: Translation errors in industrial environments can have serious consequences. You are solely responsible for independently verifying all translation outputs before using them in operational contexts, particularly where equipment safety, regulatory compliance, or personnel welfare are involved.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Dutch and EU law, IndusTrans Technologies B.V. shall not be liable for:
• Any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunity, or goodwill
• Damages arising from reliance on inaccurate or incomplete translation output
• Downtime or unavailability of the Services during the beta period
Our aggregate liability to you under these Terms shall in no event exceed the greater of (i) the total fees paid by you to us in the three months preceding the claim, or (ii) €500 (five hundred Euros), to the extent permitted by law.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our gross negligence or fraud.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless IndusTrans Technologies B.V., its officers, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Services in breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (c) any claim that content you submitted infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
These Terms are effective from the date you first access the Services and continue until terminated.
We may terminate or suspend your access:
• Immediately, for breach of these Terms or applicable law
• With 14 days' notice, if we discontinue the beta programme or the Services
• With 30 days' notice, for any other reason at our discretion
You may terminate your participation at any time by notifying us at support@industrans.eu and ceasing use of the Services. Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Confidentiality), 7 (Disclaimers), 8 (Limitation of Liability), and 11 (Governing Law) survive termination.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is expressly excluded.
Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Notwithstanding this, nothing prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief before any competent court.
If you are a consumer (not applicable if you use the Services in a commercial capacity), EU consumer protection laws may provide you with additional rights that cannot be excluded by contract.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction and industry, including but not limited to:
• The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), to the extent applicable to your use of AI-powered translation in regulated sectors

• Export control regulations, including EU Dual-Use Regulation (EU) 2021/821
• Applicable occupational health and safety laws regarding communication in industrial workplaces
We may update these Terms as the product develops. We will notify you of material changes via email (to the address on file) at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you should cease using the Services and notify us of your termination.
• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and IndusTrans regarding the Services.
• Severability: If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
• Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.
• Assignment: We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to an affiliate or successor entity. You may not assign your rights without our prior written consent.
• Language: These Terms are drafted in English. In the event of a conflict between any translated version and the English version, the English version prevails.
