7.1 Liability for Content
The contents of our pages have been created with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content.
7.2 Liability for Links
Our service contains links to external websites of third parties, over whose content we have no influence. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages.
7.3 Copyright (Visual Integrity)
The texts, design elements, and editorial content created by the site operators on these pages are, to the extent eligible for copyright protection, subject to copyright law. The visual content largely consists of AI-generated images; due to the absence of human creative authorship, these may not be protected by copyright in the classical sense. However, the compilation, curation, and arrangement of this content as a whole (a database within the meaning of § 76c of the Austrian Copyright Act, UrhG) as well as the application itself are subject to database and/or copyright protection. Regardless of the copyright status of individual images, their extraction, reproduction, or redistribution outside the app is contractually prohibited under the Terms of Use (EULA). Any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright law or the contractual terms of use requires the written consent of HistoryBytes GmbH.
7.4 Notice Regarding AI-Generated Content and Personality Rights
The visual content within the application is partially generated by artificial intelligence to illustrate historical events and eras. Since AI models operate on statistical patterns, it cannot be entirely ruled out that generated faces may inadvertently bear a resemblance to real, living individuals. If you notice such a resemblance and feel your personality rights are affected, please contact us at hello@historybytes.app. We emphasize that we will review every reported case individually and thoroughly. If a legitimate infringement is found, we will promptly modify or remove the image in question in accordance with the "Notice and Takedown" principle.
