Terms of Service

The Service is operated by Beijing Jingwei Ziyi Technology Co., Ltd. (北京京微资易科技有限公司), unified social credit code 91110106MA003EM95R. Contact: hi@aiworkdeck.com.

These Terms cover the website, the desktop application, the Office add-ins, the Skill and plugin plazas, and other related services we may offer. Parts of the desktop application released under an open-source licence (see the LICENSE file in the code repository) are additionally governed by that licence; where the licence conflicts with these Terms, the licence prevails for those parts.

These Terms exist in Chinese and English. In the event of any discrepancy, the Chinese version prevails.

The Service is designed for practitioners and organisations working in law, compliance and adjacent fields, and assumes users capable of exercising professional judgement. You confirm that you have full capacity for civil conduct, or that you are duly authorised to use the Service on behalf of your organisation.

We do not offer the Service to children under 14. If you are under 18, please read these Terms with your guardian and obtain their consent before using the Service.

Registration requires a username, an email address and a password. You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. Losses caused by your own failure to do so are yours to bear.

An account key (a string beginning with awdk_) connects the desktop application to your website account. We store only its hash, never the plaintext, so a lost key cannot be recovered — only replaced. Each account may hold at most three active keys.

We may suspend or close an account where reasonably necessary: breach of these Terms or of the law, use of the account to attack or abuse the Service, prolonged anomalous activity, or suspected fraud. Except in urgent cases we will notify you first.

You accept the inherent limits of large language models: output is generated statistically rather than retrieved, and may contain statements contrary to fact, provisions that have been repealed or amended, and cases that do not exist or do not say what is claimed (commonly called "hallucination"). Features such as citation checking reduce but cannot eliminate this risk.

Accordingly, you undertake to verify AI output independently before using it in any external deliverable, any advice to a client, or any filing with a judicial or administrative authority. Consequences of using unverified output are yours.

You must also observe the professional conduct and confidentiality rules that apply to you. Before submitting client or matter materials to the AI, you are responsible for deciding whether client consent is required and whether doing so is permitted in your jurisdiction and by your firm.

The desktop application is local-first: your documents, projects and work history stay on your own device by default. We do not upload, retain or access them.

The exceptions are features you trigger yourself. When you use the platform AI channel, the content you choose to send is processed by a model provider. When you use plugins that require network access (speech synthesis, document parsing), the relevant content goes to that provider. The Privacy Policy sets out these flows.

You warrant that what you submit to the Service contains no state secrets, no information you are not permitted to disclose, no material infringing third-party intellectual property or trade secrets, and nothing unlawful. Disputes, claims or penalties arising from your content are yours to bear, and you will compensate us for losses we suffer as a result.

You keep all rights in your own content. We do not use your documents to train models.

You may submit entries to the Skill or plugin plaza. By submitting, you represent and warrant that the content is your own or fully licensed to you, that it infringes no third-party intellectual property, trade secret or other right, and that it contains no malicious code.

So that we can run the plaza, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, display and distribute your submission, to make it available for installation and update, and to quote and display it as reasonably needed to promote the Service. The licence ends when your content is removed from the plaza, without affecting copies already distributed.

We may review submissions and may decline to publish, or remove, content that appears to infringe, contains malicious code, is not fit to ship, or breaches the law or these Terms. Review is not an endorsement or warranty of quality, security or legality.

When a paid entry sells, the creator immediately receives 70% of the transaction value as Credits (the platform retains 30%). Crediting happens at the moment of sale — no request, no waiting for manual settlement. Entitlements granted by redemption code are platform-funded promotion and generate no creator share.

Credits are the single unit of account across the Service. Topping up gives you Credits, which are used directly for platform AI, Skill and plugin purchases and feature unlocks — there is no separate "allocation" step. Payment is processed through WeChat Pay; the amount and description shown at checkout govern.

Credits fall into two classes with different rights:

Credits are an accounting record of consideration paid. They are not a prepaid card: they bear no interest and cannot be transferred to another person.

Digital goods (Skills, plugins, feature unlocks) are treated as performed once available for download. Within seven days of purchase you may request a refund if the item has a material defect — it cannot be installed, or differs substantially from its description — and we fail to remedy it within a reasonable period; where you paid in Credits, the Credits are returned. Problems caused by your own device, network or manner of use are not grounds for refund.

On closing your account you may ask for unspent topped-up Credits to be returned via the original payment channel, less payment-channel fees actually incurred. Granted Credits are not refundable.

We may change prices and plans. Changes apply only to orders placed after they take effect, never to completed transactions, and never to Credits you already hold.

Except as an open-source licence provides otherwise, intellectual property in the Service and its software, interfaces, documentation, trade marks and logos belongs to us or the respective right holders. "AI Workdeck" and its logo are our marks and may not be used in ways likely to cause confusion without our written permission.

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service, subject to these Terms, for your own or your organisation's business purposes. You may not reverse-engineer the Service (except as an open-source licence permits), circumvent its licensing or billing mechanisms, scrape it in bulk, or resell, rent or timeshare it to third parties.

The Service depends on third parties: WeChat Pay for payments, OpenRouter for model routing, GitHub for installer and source hosting, and cloud providers for infrastructure. Each operates under its own terms.

If a third-party service is interrupted, changed or discontinued, the corresponding features may be affected. We will make reasonable efforts to find alternatives but are not responsible for the conduct of those third parties.

We work to keep the Service stable but do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We are not liable for interruptions caused by maintenance, upgrades, third-party failures, network attacks or force majeure. Planned maintenance will be announced in advance.

We may add, change or discontinue parts of the Service. If we discontinue something you have paid for, we will refund the unperformed portion pro rata.

Desktop updates come as in-app patches or as full installers, per the release notes page. You may decline updates, but older versions may lose online functionality as interfaces change.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is". We make no express or implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted or error-free operation, nor any warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or suitability of AI output.

This clause does not exclude warranties that cannot be excluded by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost profits, business interruption, loss of goodwill, data loss, or any other indirect, incidental or consequential loss — even if we were told such loss was possible.

You understand that this clause and clause 4 together form part of the basis on which the Service is offered: the price reflects the fact that liability is bounded in this way.

If we face a third-party claim, administrative penalty or proceeding because you breached these Terms or the law, infringed a third-party right, or because of content you submitted to the Service, you will compensate us for the losses actually incurred, including reasonable legal, litigation and arbitration costs.

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We will then handle your personal information as set out in the Privacy Policy, and your account keys stop working immediately.

We may terminate the Service to you if you seriously breach these Terms. Termination does not affect rights and obligations already accrued. Clauses 5, 8, 11 to 13 and 16 survive termination.

We may revise these Terms. For substantive revisions affecting your main rights and obligations, we will give at least seven days' notice before they take effect, by website announcement or email.

Continuing to use the Service after a revision takes effect means you accept it. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and you may close your account; for anything purchased but not yet performed, you may request a pro rata refund.

These Terms — their formation, validity, interpretation, performance and any dispute about them — are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (for this purpose excluding the laws of Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and Taiwan).

Note that accepting this clause means both you and we give up the right to bring covered disputes before a court, and give up the right to proceed collectively. If you are not willing to arbitrate, please do not use the Service.

The preceding paragraph does not prevent either party from applying to a competent court for interim measures, including preservation of assets, conduct and evidence.

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain in force, and that provision is to be read in the way closest to its original intent that is enforceable.

Our failure or delay in exercising a right under these Terms is not a waiver of it.

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor in a merger, division or transfer of assets, with prior notice to you.
