These terms and conditions of use apply to the website and tool (cleo.)aincient.org and all other websites that are published by or on behalf of aincient B.V., located in Amsterdam at Amstelkade 151-1, 1078 AW (hereinafter referred to as “Aincient”, or “we”). The AI museum tool Cleo is a project of Aincient. Aincient reserves the right to change these terms and conditions unilaterally.
These terms and conditions are governed by Dutch law. Disputes in relation to the use of this website can only be submitted to the competent court in the area where Aincient is based.
Aincient is working with a freemium model for users that have a Cleo account. The first 50 queries in Cleo each month are for free and give a user access to the entire collections and all functionalities:
Access to over 45,000 ancient Egyptian objects
Search, filter, save, and download
There are no strings attached. If the free queries run out and the user would like to continue searching, the user can buy extra queries: € 4.95 (including VAT) for 100 queries. The user can buy them online via credit card, PayPal, iDEAL, or even Bitcoin. The transaction is handled by Mollie, our payment partner. The unused queries do not expire but roll over at the end of each month. Furthermore, the user will still receive the free monthly queries (50 per month). See our FAQ for an example. NB: The free queries do not accumulate, which means that you cannot save your free queries to an amount larger than 50. You have the possibility to use up to 50 free queries each month. It is also possible to acquire a subscription for an institution.
Aincient can change the amount of monthly free queries or terminate them and/or change the prices of queries. Changes will be communicated on the website.
