8. Third-Party Services
Pocket Code integrates third-party services (GitHub, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, Anthropic, Supabase, Render, among others). Your use of these services is subject to their own terms and conditions. We are not responsible for changes, interruptions, costs, or issues with third-party services.

12. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute related to these terms will be resolved through good faith negotiation. If it cannot be resolved, it will be submitted to binding arbitration.
13. Subscriptions and Premium Plans
Pocket Code operates under a freemium model. Basic features are free, while advanced features require an active subscription.
- Subscription prices are displayed in the app and renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled

- You can cancel your subscription at any time from Google Play settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you will retain access until that date

- We reserve the right to change subscription prices with at least 30 days notice. You will be notified before the new price takes effect
- If you switch to a free plan, you will lose access to premium features at the end of your billing period. Your local projects and data will not be affected
14. Artificial Intelligence and Generated Code
Pocket Code integrates artificial intelligence features (including GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, and other providers) to assist with code generation. By using these features:
- AI-generated code is provided 'as is' and it is your responsibility to review it before use
- We do not guarantee the accuracy, security, performance, or absence of errors in AI-generated code
- You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and deploying any AI-generated code in your projects
- AI-generated code may contain patterns similar to third-party code with its own licenses. It is your responsibility to verify license compatibility
- Conversations and prompts sent to AI providers are processed through their APIs. Please refer to each provider's privacy policy to learn how they handle your data
Important: Always review and test AI-generated code before using it in production. Do not blindly trust generated code for critical applications.
