6. Not Investment or Financial Advice

The Service provides presentation coaching feedback only. Nothing provided by the Service constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or due diligence of any kind. Scores and feedback reflect an AI assessment of presentation quality and should not be relied upon for investment decisions, fundraising strategy, or any financial purpose. You should consult qualified professionals for investment, financial, or legal advice.

7. AI-Generated Feedback

The feedback and scores provided by the Service are generated by artificial intelligence and should be treated as suggestions, not definitive evaluations. AI-generated output may be incomplete, inaccurate, or biased. While we strive for accuracy, you should use your own judgment when acting on the recommendations provided. AI feedback is not a substitute for professional coaching, mentorship, or advisory services.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to: the accuracy of AI feedback, the outcome of your pitch or Demo Day presentation, investment decisions, fundraising outcomes, financial losses, or any other decisions made based on the Service's output. In no event shall our aggregate liability exceed the amount you have paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty US dollars (US $50), whichever is greater.

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with reasonable notice.
