Version: 1.1

This document is the English-language counterpart of the German Impressum
that Casdo Labs GmbH, as the provider of Patronus Protect, provides under
Section 5 of the German Digital Services Act (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz,
"DDG"; successor of the former TMG), in conjunction with Section 18(2) of
the German Interstate Media Treaty (Medienstaatsvertrag, "MStV").

7. PROFESSIONAL REGULATIONS

The provision of security software, interfaces, libraries and models for
end-user devices and applications is not a regulated

not subject to a specific professional chamber, professional title, or
profession-specific code of conduct within the meaning of Section 5(1)
No. 5 DDG, and no supervisory authority within the meaning of that
provision exists.

REPORTING SECURITY VULNERABILITIES

Please report security vulnerabilities in our applications, interfaces,
libraries or models by e-mail to team@patronus.studio with the subject
"Security". We acknowledge reports promptly, keep the reporter informed
about the fix and ask that details are kept confidential until the issue
is resolved. A machine-readable version of this information is available
at https://patronus.studio/.well-known/security.txt.

EU ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ODR)

The European Commission's online dispute resolution (ODR) platform under
Article 14(1) of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 was permanently shut down on
20 July 2025. A link to the platform is therefore no longer provided.

The provider's e-mail address for the purposes of consumer contact is
stated in Section 3 above.

CONSUMER DISPUTE RESOLUTION (VSBG)

In accordance with Section 36 of the German Act on Alternative Dispute
Resolution in Consumer Matters (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz,
"VSBG"), the provider declares:

The provider is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer arbitration body ("Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle").

Customers are of course free to contact the provider directly at the
e-mail address in Section 3 to seek an amicable resolution of any
complaint.

LIABILITY FOR OWN CONTENT

As a service provider within the meaning of the DDG, the provider is
responsible for its own content on the Patronus Protect website and
within the Patronus Protect application in accordance with the general
laws and pursuant to Section 7(1) DDG.

In accordance with Sections 8 to 10 DDG, the provider is not obliged to
monitor information transmitted or stored by third parties, nor to
actively investigate circumstances indicating illegal activity. Statutory
obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general
laws remain unaffected. Any such liability is only triggered from the
point in time at which the provider obtains positive knowledge of a
specific infringement; upon becoming aware, the relevant content will be
removed without undue delay.

LIABILITY FOR EXTERNAL LINKS

The Patronus Protect website and application may contain links to
external websites operated by third parties. The provider has no
influence on the contents of those external websites and cannot assume
any warranty for them. Responsibility for the contents of linked pages
lies exclusively with the respective operator. Linked pages were reviewed
for possible legal violations at the time the link was created; no
illegal content was identifiable at that point in time. If the provider
becomes aware of any infringement, the relevant link will be removed
without undue delay.

COPYRIGHT

The content and works on the Patronus Protect website and within the
Patronus Protect application that have been created by the provider are
subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, modification, distribution
and any kind of exploitation outside the limits of copyright law require
the prior written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads

private, non-commercial use.

The trademark "Patronus Protect", the Patronus Protect logo and the

notice or within the product are the property of their respective owners.

applications are created in-house by Casdo Labs. Logos and trademarks of
third parties, such as AI providers, partners and funding programmes, are
