3. Plans & Billing

Plixlab offers Free, Pro, and Pro Max plans with different limits on presentations, storage, and AI token usage. Plan features and pricing are as described on our pricing page and may change with notice. If you exceed your plan limits, certain features may be restricted until you upgrade or the next billing period begins.

4. Your Content

Ownership. You retain all rights to the content you create on Plixlab, including presentations, slides, uploaded files, and datasets.

License to Us. By using Plixlab, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, display, and transmit your content as necessary to provide the service. This includes sending content to third-party AI services (Anthropic) when you use AI features, and making content available to viewers when you enable sharing.

Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the content you create and share. Publicly shared or embedded presentations are visible to anyone with the link.

5. AI-Generated Content

Plixlab uses AI (powered by Anthropic's Claude) to assist with slide generation, chat, and other features. AI-generated content may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated content before using or sharing it. We make no guarantees about the accuracy or suitability of AI outputs.

6. Sharing & Embedding

When you share a presentation publicly, anyone with the share link can view it without signing in. Embedded presentations can be displayed on external websites. You are responsible for ensuring that publicly shared content does not violate these Terms or any applicable laws. We may disable sharing for content that violates these Terms.

7. Third-Party Integrations

Plixlab integrates with third-party services such as Zotero (citations), external data APIs, and Anthropic (AI). These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services.

8. Intellectual Property
