- Completion of the Questionnaire and access to static information within the Service are entirely voluntary. The User is not required to purchase the paid Report in order to complete the free part of the Questionnaire and receive the preliminary summary.
PART VII. AI ACT COMPLIANCE
§ 9. Transparency and Disclosure of AI Interaction
- Acting in accordance with Article 50(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) and the implemented AI Interaction Disclosure Procedure, the Operator ensures that the User is clearly, comprehensibly and unambiguously informed that she is interacting with an artificial intelligence system (AI Engine).
- This information is presented in the form of a clear notice immediately before the User begins completing the Questionnaire.
§ 10. Labelling of AI Content and Reports
- All analyses, descriptors, predictions, conclusions and recommendations generated by the AI Engine within the purchased Report (PDF file) or displayed on the Service screen are visibly and permanently labelled with information stating that the content has been prepared with the support of AI tools, in accordance with the AI Content Labelling Procedure.
- The Operator also applies technical machine-readable markers (metadata) embedded in the digital structure of Report PDF files, enabling external IT systems to automatically identify the origin of the content.
PART VIII. ONE-OFF TRANSACTIONS AND NO DARK PATTERNS
§ 11. Pricing, One-Off Payments and No Subscription
- Completing the Questionnaire and reviewing the general preliminary summary in the Service are free of charge. Obtaining the full detailed Report generated by the AI Engine in PDF format is subject to payment.
- The purchase of the completed Report constitutes a one-off transaction. The Service does not offer continuous contracts or subscriptions, does not automatically renew payments, does not store payment cards for future charges and does not charge any recurring fees.
- An order for a Report is placed by providing an email address, selecting a payment method and clicking a button clearly indicating the obligation to pay. Completion of the transaction, collection of payment by the Payment Provider and commencement of generation of the Report by the AI Engine are conditional upon the User actively, voluntarily and unambiguously selecting a dedicated checkbox containing a declaration acknowledging the waiver and loss of the right of withdrawal once the digital content has been supplied.
- Following successful payment, the Payment Provider sends confirmation to the Service, which triggers the immediate generation of the PDF file and its delivery to the email address provided.
PART IX. DIGITAL SERVICES ACT – DSA COMPLIANCE
§ 12. Contact Point for Authorities and Users
- In fulfilment of the obligations arising under Articles 11 and 12 DSA, the Operator designates office@femicode.io as the dedicated contact point for direct communication with Member State authorities, the European Commission, the European Board for Digital Services and Users in matters relating to implementation of the DSA.

- The User acknowledges, expressly confirms and accepts that the purchased Report constitutes digital content not supplied on a tangible medium. Since the generation and delivery of the Report in PDF format begins immediately after payment is credited, following the User’s prior express consent and after informing her that she will lose the right of withdrawal, the right to withdraw from the agreement for the purchase of the Report and to request reimbursement of the payment expires once the transaction has been completed.
