9. Service Availability
Zestio strives to provide uninterrupted service but does not guarantee 100% availability. We may experience downtime for maintenance, updates, or factors beyond our control. AI processing times vary based on complexity and demand. We are not liable for delays or failures resulting from third-party service providers (AI model providers, cloud infrastructure, etc.).
10. AI-Generated Content & Output Liability
Zestio uses artificial intelligence models to generate enhanced images, videos, descriptions, and other content ("AI Outputs"). By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:
- AI Outputs are probabilistic and may vary in quality, accuracy, or suitability for your purpose
- AI Outputs may contain inaccuracies, artifacts, or unintended modifications
- It is your responsibility to review all AI Outputs before use in listings, marketing, or publication
- Human oversight is required — AI Outputs should not be used as the sole basis for consequential decisions
- You assume full responsibility and liability for any AI Outputs you choose to publish, share, or distribute
- Under the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), Zestio's image processing is classified as minimal risk. AI Outputs are labeled as AI-generated where technically feasible
Zestio does not guarantee that AI Outputs will meet specific legal, regulatory, or professional standards for real estate marketing in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, including fair housing regulations and truth-in-advertising requirements.
11. Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zestio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities arising from your use of the Service, including without limitation the use or reliance upon any AI-generated outputs.
Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Zestio and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
13. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or a notice within the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
