Terms and Conditions
Last updated: July 17, 2026
1. Definitions
- Services: AI clones (voice/video), real-time 3D avatar implementation, custom software development, the Yvonta News Platform, and trade.
- Input Data: Audio, video, or images provided by the client for AI processing.
2. Delivery and acceptance of the service
- 2.1. Best effort: AI services, the Yvonta News Platform, and trade services are provided on a “best effort” basis. Technical artifacts, minor deviations in likeness, fluctuations in automated content aggregation, or market data latency are inherent to the technology and do not constitute a defect.
- 2.2. Acceptance period: Custom software and 3D models are deemed accepted if the client does not report specific bugs in writing within 7 days of delivery.
- 2.3. Third-party dependency: Yvonta frequently utilizes third-party API providers (e.g., AI engines, cloud hosting, news feeds, financial exchange data). Yvonta is not liable for service interruptions, execution failures, or data accuracy issues caused by these third parties.
3. Intellectual property & ethical use
- 3.1. Ownership: Yvonta retains all rights to its proprietary code, training methods, and base 3D models. The client receives a license for the final result.
- 3.2. Right of likeness: The client guarantees that they possess the rights to the voice/face being cloned. Yvonta is not obliged to verify these rights but may request proof.
- 3.3. Termination due to misuse: Yvonta reserves the right to terminate any agreement immediately and without refund if the client uses the services for:
- Generating deepfakes without consent.
- Illegal, hateful, or pornographic content.
- Impersonation for fraudulent purposes.
- Spreading verified misinformation or unauthorized scraping via the News Platform.
- 3.4. Compliance Responsibility: The Client warrants that their use of the Yvonta News Platform and trade services complies with applicable media laws, financial regulations, copyright regulations, and privacy rules (e.g., GDPR).
4. Liability (The “Shield” clauses)
- 4.1. Financial limit: Yvonta’s total liability is strictly limited to the amount paid by the Client for the relevant project.
- 4.2. No indirect damages: Yvonta is in no event liable for loss of profit, loss of data, or consequential damages (e.g., if the Client’s client cancels a contract due to a bug in Yvonta’s software, a failure in the News Platform feed, or financial losses incurred through trade).
- 4.3. Indemnification: The Client indemnifies Yvonta against all legal costs and damages arising from third-party claims regarding the Input Data, the content published via the News Platform, financial activities conducted via trade, or the Client’s use of the AI output.
- 4.4. Content and Market Disclaimer: Yvonta acts as the host and provider of the Yvonta News Platform and trade services. The Client is solely responsible for the compliance of published content with local laws and the financial risk associated with trading activities. Yvonta is not liable for damages arising from content accuracy, the legal status of aggregated/generated news, or investment results.
- 4.5. Duty of Human Oversight: The Client is responsible for maintaining “human-in-the-loop” oversight for all AI-generated content and financial trading parameters before execution or public release. Failure to perform such oversight relieves Yvonta of liability for damages resulting from incorrect information or financial loss.
5. Payments & Maintenance
- 5.1. Payment terms: Net 14 days from the invoice date, unless stated otherwise.
- 5.2. Suspension: In the event of overdue payment, Yvonta may remotely block access to the software, the News Platform, trade services, or AI services until the outstanding amount has been paid.
6. Privacy (GDPR)
- 6.1. Biometric data: The Client acknowledges that AI clones involve the processing of biometric data. The Client is the “Data Controller” and Yvonta is the “Data Processor.”
- 6.2. Deletion: Yvonta deletes the raw input data after completion of the training process, unless agreed otherwise for maintenance purposes.
7. Law and jurisdiction
- 7.1. Governing law: These terms are governed by Dutch law.
- 7.2. Court: Any disputes shall be settled exclusively by the competent court in Zwolle, the Netherlands.

Frequently Asked Questions
16 questions
General Terms and Conditions, often abbreviated as GTC, are the standard legal rules that govern the relationship between a service provider and its users or customers. They outline rights, responsibilities, and limitations for both parties in using a product or service. These documents are typically presented during signup or purchase and become binding upon acceptance.
General Terms and Conditions focus on usage rules, payments, liability, and dispute resolution, while a privacy policy specifically details how personal data is collected, used, and protected. Both are legal documents but serve distinct regulatory purposes. Users must usually agree to both separately when engaging with a service.
Without acceptance, users are generally not permitted to access or use the service, as the terms form the legal basis of the agreement. The provider may block registration or continued access until agreement is confirmed. Some limited browsing might still be allowed, but full functionality requires consent.
Yes, providers often reserve the right to update the terms at any time, typically with notice to users via email or website announcement. Continued use after changes usually constitutes acceptance of the new version. Users should review updates periodically to stay informed of modifications.
Typical sections include definitions, scope of services, user obligations, payment and billing, intellectual property rights, limitation of liability, termination clauses, and governing law. These ensure comprehensive coverage of the contractual relationship. Exact structure varies by jurisdiction and business type.
They usually apply to all registered users but may include different provisions for consumers versus business customers. Some clauses, such as those related to age restrictions or commercial use, create differentiated obligations. Jurisdiction-specific consumer protection laws may override certain terms for individuals.
Explicit acceptance, often via checkbox or clickwrap, demonstrates that the user has read and agreed to the terms, strengthening enforceability in most legal systems. Implicit acceptance through continued use is sometimes recognized but can be weaker. Courts examine whether the terms were presented clearly and fairly.
They typically state that all content, trademarks, and software remain the property of the provider, granting users only a limited license for personal use. Users may not copy, modify, or distribute materials without permission. Violations can lead to account termination and legal action.
Providers commonly limit their liability to the amount paid by the user or exclude indirect damages such as lost profits. These caps protect the company from excessive claims arising from service interruptions or data loss. Such limitations are subject to local consumer protection regulations that may render some exclusions unenforceable.
Most documents require users to be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in their jurisdiction to enter into the agreement. Minors may need parental consent or be prohibited from using the service entirely. This protects both the provider and underage users legally.
Terms often specify arbitration, mediation, or exclusive jurisdiction in a particular court, along with governing law such as the laws of a specific country or state. Class-action waivers are also common. These clauses aim to reduce litigation costs and provide predictable legal processes.
Users must provide accurate information, refrain from illegal activities, respect intellectual property, and maintain account security. Prohibitions against spamming, hacking, or reverse engineering are standard. Failure to comply can result in suspension or termination of access.
Yes, they usually detail refund eligibility, notice periods for cancellation, and any fees involved. Conditions may differ for subscription services versus one-time purchases. Consumers should check local laws, as some regions grant mandatory cooling-off periods regardless of the stated terms.
Many users believe the terms are merely formalities and not legally binding, but courts often enforce them when properly presented and accepted. Another misconception is that they cannot be negotiated, though businesses sometimes allow customization for enterprise clients. Reading them remains essential despite their length.
While separate from privacy policies, GTCs frequently reference compliance with laws like GDPR or CCPA and may include data-processing consents. They can outline consequences for data misuse by users. Alignment with regulations helps ensure overall legal validity of the agreement.
The latest version is typically posted on the provider's website under a dedicated legal or footer section, often with a last-updated date. Users may also receive notifications of changes via email if they have an account. Archival versions are sometimes available for reference upon request.
