Terms and Conditions

These terms govern the purchase and use of HamrPass credit obtained from the provider (see imprint). The provider is Malte Zuch, Babendiekstraße 58c, 22587 Hamburg, Germany.

§ 1 Scope

These terms apply to all contracts between the provider and the customer for the purchase of HamrPass credit and the use of the related LLM proxy service. A "consumer" within the meaning of § 13 BGB (German Civil Code) is any natural person acting for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business, or profession. Differing terms of the customer do not become part of the contract unless the provider agrees to them in writing.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

The presentation of HamrPass on the website is not a binding offer but an invitation to submit an offer. The customer submits their offer by completing the order process at the payment provider (Polar). The contract is concluded when the HamrPass key is delivered.

§ 3 Service description

HamrPass is a one-off, prepaid token credit that grants access to an OpenAI-compatible model interface operated by the provider. It is not a subscription; there is no automatic renewal. Consumed credit is non-refundable.

The provider chooses the deployed model and routing configuration at its reasonable discretion and may change them at any time to maintain availability, quality, and security. No specific model identity, response quality, response time, or availability is guaranteed.

Validity: A HamrPass is usable indefinitely for as long as the provider operates the service. There is no time-limited expiry on unused credit. The consequences of a service discontinuation by the provider are governed by § 8.

§ 4 Prices and payment

The prices stated on the website at the time of the order apply. Pursuant to § 19 UStG (German small-business rule), no VAT is charged or itemised. Payment is processed exclusively via Polar Software, Inc.; their terms additionally apply.

§ 5 Right of withdrawal for consumers

Withdrawal instruction

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period expires fourteen days after the day of conclusion of the contract. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Malte Zuch, Babendiekstraße 58c, 22587 Hamburg, Germany; email: [email protected]) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form set out below, but it is not obligatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal. If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw. We will use the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

Early termination of the right of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal expires in the case of a contract for the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium if performance has begun after you (1) gave your express prior consent to the start of performance during the withdrawal period, and (2) acknowledged that by giving your consent you lose your right of withdrawal upon the start of performance.

End of withdrawal instruction.

Model withdrawal form

(If you wish to withdraw from the contract, please complete and return this form.)

— To Malte Zuch, Babendiekstraße 58c, 22587 Hamburg, Germany, email: [email protected]:
— I/We (*) hereby give notice that I/We (*) withdraw from my/our (*) contract for the sale of the following goods (*)/the supply of the following service (*)

Note on HamrPass. HamrPass is digital content not supplied on a tangible medium. Performance within the meaning of the above instruction begins with the delivery of the HamrPass key to the customer; actual token consumption is irrelevant. If you expressly consent to immediate performance during the order process and acknowledge that this causes the loss of your right of withdrawal, your right of withdrawal expires when the key is delivered. In that case the purchase price and any remaining credit cannot be refunded.

§ 6 Customer obligations

The customer undertakes not to use the service for unlawful purposes, in particular not for the creation or distribution of unlawful content, content harmful to minors, content infringing personality rights or copyrights, not for the circumvention of technical protection measures, and not for the abusive loading of the infrastructure (e.g., automated mass scraping, denial-of-service attempts, reverse engineering of the model configuration).

The customer is solely responsible for the content (prompts, code, data) submitted to the service and for its legal admissibility, in particular with regard to copyright, data protection, and confidentiality obligations. The customer indemnifies the provider against third-party claims resulting from a breach of these obligations to the extent the customer is responsible for the breach.

§ 7 AI notice · "as is"

The service uses large language models (LLMs). Their outputs may be incorrect, incomplete, biased, or fabricated ("hallucinations"). The customer is responsible for reviewing all outputs before using them in production, business-critical, or safety-critical contexts.

The associated open-source CLI executes commands and file operations with the rights of the invoking user. Use is at the customer's own risk; the provider recommends running it in isolated environments (devcontainer, virtual machine, sandbox). The service and the CLI are provided "as is" and without warranty of fitness for any particular purpose, to the extent permitted by law.

§ 8 Suspension and discontinuation

Suspension. The provider may suspend a HamrPass with immediate effect in the case of (a) a material breach of § 6, (b) reasonable suspicion of abusive use or a security risk, or (c) where continued operation would violate applicable law. Remaining credit is not refunded if the customer is responsible for the suspension; in other cases unused credit is refunded on request.

Discontinuation. The provider may discontinue the service in whole or in part at any time. A complete discontinuation will be announced by the provider with at least 30 days' notice via the website (codehamr.com).

Pro-rata refund. In the case of complete discontinuation, the customer may request a refund of the unused portion of the HamrPass purchase price. The refund is calculated pro rata based on the ratio of the unused token credit at the time of discontinuation to the original total token budget of the pass.

Claim procedure and limitation period. Refund claims arising from a discontinuation must be asserted to the provider in writing or by email at [email protected] within 90 days of the day of full discontinuation. The Polar order ID or HamrPass key is sufficient evidence; without evidence there is no claim. After the 90-day period the refund claim lapses.

No further claims. The pro-rata refund settles all claims of the customer in connection with the discontinuation. In particular, there are no claims for lost profit, consequential damages, replacement-procurement costs, or damages for non-performance. § 9 remains unaffected.

§ 9 Liability

The provider's liability is unlimited in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, for fraudulently concealed defects, and under the German Product Liability Act.

For ordinary negligence the provider is liable only for the breach of essential contractual duties (duties whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible at all and on whose observance the customer regularly relies). In such cases liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract, and in any event to the amount of the HamrPass purchased.

Otherwise liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law. This applies in particular to indirect damages, consequential damages, lost profit, data loss, reputational damages, and damages arising from the use or evaluation of model outputs or from the execution of the open-source CLI on the customer's systems.

§ 10 Open-source CLI

The CLI software is published free of charge as open source under the licence stated in the repository. It is not part of the HamrPass purchase contract. The provider gives no warranty for the open-source software; the terms of the respective licence apply.

§ 11 Privacy

The processing of personal data is governed by the privacy policy.

§ 12 Closing provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers habitually resident in another EU state, mandatory consumer-protection provisions of their state of residence remain unaffected. If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, Hamburg is the exclusive place of jurisdiction. If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected.
