6. Children's Information

KasparChess is primarily designed for parents to support their children's chess development. Only users aged 18 and over may create accounts and manage subscriptions. By adding a child profile, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of that child and consent to the collection of their first name, birth month/year, and chess platform username for the purpose of generating coaching reports.

7. Chess Platform Data

KasparChess accesses only publicly available game data from Chess.com and Lichess.org through their public APIs. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Chess.com or Lichess.org. The accuracy of coaching advice depends on the data available from these platforms.

8. AI-Generated Content

Coaching reports, scouting reports, and chat responses are generated by artificial intelligence (Anthropic Claude). While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies. KasparChess coaching is meant to supplement, not replace, professional chess instruction. We make no guarantees about improvements in chess performance.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, and software, is owned by KasparChess and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without our written permission.

Coaching reports generated for you are for your personal, non-commercial use. You may share individual reports with family members, coaches, or your child's chess club.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We do not guarantee any specific chess improvement or results.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, KasparChess shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the app. Account deletion permanently and irreversibly removes all your data, including child profiles, coaching reports, chat history, and subscription records.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users by email of any material changes. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
