Summar AI WordPress Plugin — Terms & Disclaimer

Last updated: 2026-03-01

These Terms & Disclaimer (“Terms”) govern your installation and use of the Summar AI WordPress plugin (the “Plugin”).
The Plugin is provided by an independent developer (“Developer”, “I”, “me”). By installing, activating, or using the Plugin, you agree to these Terms.

This document is provided for practical clarity. Your local laws may impose additional obligations or override certain clauses.

1) What the Plugin does

The Plugin allows visitors to ask questions on your WordPress site and receive answers generated based on the page content the visitor is viewing. Output quality depends on your content, configuration, traffic conditions, and third-party AI model behavior.

The Plugin is not a substitute for professional advice (legal, medical, financial, etc.).

2) Definitions

  • Site Owner / You: the person or entity installing and operating the Plugin on a WordPress site.
  • Visitor: an end user who interacts with the Plugin on your site.
  • Third-Party Services: services not operated by the Developer that the Plugin may interact with (e.g., OpenAI API, Google Fonts, and optional Summar AI service endpoints).
  • Content: page text, visitor questions, and any other text processed to generate answers.

3) BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — API keys, billing, and costs

The Plugin uses an AI API (e.g., OpenAI) via the API key you provide (“BYOK”).

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • All API usage, quotas, and billing are entirely your responsibility and are charged directly by the AI provider to your account.
  • The Developer does not pay for, control, or reimburse your API costs.
  • You are solely responsible for securing your API key, restricting permissions, rotating keys, and preventing abuse.
  • You accept the risk of unexpected costs caused by traffic spikes, bots, automation, misconfiguration, or malicious use.

4) Your site’s database, storage, performance, and backups

The Plugin may, depending on version/configuration:

  • create database tables in your WordPress database,
  • store question/answer records locally on your site,
  • use caching (e.g., transients) to improve performance,
  • apply short-lived rate limiting or anti-abuse controls.

You are solely responsible for:

  • database growth, retention policies, and cleanup,
  • server resources (CPU/RAM/disk), caching layers, and hosting limits,
  • backups and restore procedures,
  • staging/testing before deploying updates to production,
  • diagnosing conflicts with themes, plugins, CDNs, WAFs, cron/queues, and custom code.

The Developer makes no guarantee that the Plugin will be compatible with your specific hosting stack or performance constraints.

5) Privacy, compliance, and your obligations (GDPR/KVKK/etc.)

When a Visitor asks a question, the Plugin may process:

  • the Visitor’s question text,
  • relevant page text content needed to generate an answer,
  • timestamps and technical metadata needed for operation.

This data may be sent to Third-Party Services (e.g., OpenAI) as part of answer generation.

You are solely responsible for:

  • providing required notices to Visitors,
  • obtaining consent if required by your jurisdiction,
  • updating your site privacy policy and cookie/consent tools,
  • meeting GDPR/KVKK/other legal obligations (lawful basis, DPA needs, retention, deletion, user rights, etc.).

The Developer is not responsible for your compliance, and cannot provide legal advice.

6) Third-Party Services

6.1 OpenAI (or other AI API providers)

Answer generation may involve sending text to your chosen AI provider using your API key.
Provider terms, pricing, uptime, and data handling are controlled by that provider. The Developer is not responsible for provider outages, policy changes, model changes, rate limits, pricing updates, or content filtering decisions.

6.2 Summar AI service endpoints (handshake / optional telemetry)

The Plugin may contact Summar AI service endpoints for operational purposes such as plan/limit checks (“handshake”).
Optionally, only if you enable telemetry, the Plugin may send aggregated usage metrics (e.g., request counts, success/error counts, latency statistics). The intent is not to transmit page content or full question/answer text in telemetry.

You remain responsible for any logs captured by your own infrastructure (CDN/WAF/proxy logs, server logs, etc.).

6.3 Google Fonts (Important)

If the Plugin loads Google Fonts, your Visitors’ browsers may request resources from:

  • fonts.googleapis.com
  • fonts.gstatic.com

Those requests may include technical data such as IP address and user agent. This is a Visitor→Google connection (not Visitor→Developer).
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may need additional disclosures or consent. If needed, you should self-host fonts or disable external font loading.

7) Acceptable use

You must not use the Plugin for:

  • unlawful activities,
  • abusive automation/spam,
  • violating third-party rights,
  • processing sensitive personal data without proper safeguards,
  • misleading or deceptive experiences.

8) Updates and changes

The Plugin may change over time (features, defaults, integrations). You decide whether and when to update. You should test updates in a staging environment first.

These Terms may be updated by posting a new version on this page. Continued use of the Plugin after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

9) No warranty (AS-IS)

The Plugin is provided AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE.
No warranties are provided, including (without limitation) accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, or error-free output. AI outputs can be incorrect.

10) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • The Developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages,
  • not liable for lost revenue, SEO impact, downtime, reputation loss, data loss, or third-party service failures,
  • not liable for unexpected API charges or resource usage.

If liability cannot be fully excluded, it will be limited to the minimum amount permitted by applicable law.

11) Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify the Developer from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • your site operation and configuration,
  • your compliance obligations,
  • your content and data processing,
  • your use of Third-Party Services,
  • misuse of the Plugin on your site.
