9. Disclaimers

9.1 AI-Generated Content and Assessments

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The Ambrose AI assessment system and all reports, scores, evaluations, recommendations, and content generated by the Platform ("AI Outputs") are produced by artificial intelligence technology. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that:

AI Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. Artificial intelligence systems, including Ambrose, can misinterpret information, draw incorrect conclusions, or produce outputs that are factually wrong, incomplete, or misleading.
AI Outputs are not verified for accuracy. TakeX does not independently verify, fact-check, or validate the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI Output.
AI Outputs reflect analysis at a single point in time. Assessments are based on the materials submitted and the AI's interpretation at the time of analysis. They do not account for changes in circumstances, market conditions, or new information.
AI Outputs are for informational purposes only. They are intended to provide general guidance and should not be the sole basis for any decision.
You must independently verify all AI Outputs. You are solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of any AI Output before relying on it.
AI technology has inherent limitations. Large language models and AI systems can produce plausible-sounding but incorrect outputs, exhibit biases present in training data, and fail to understand context or nuance.

9.2 No Professional Advice

TakeX is not a registered investment advisor, broker, dealer, financial institution, law firm, or professional services firm. Nothing on the Platform constitutes:

Investment advice or recommendations
Financial advice or guidance
Legal advice or counsel
Tax advice
Business consulting or professional services
A recommendation to invest or not invest in any startup
An endorsement of any startup, founder, or investment opportunity

The Certificate of Readiness and any assessment scores are not professional opinions, investment ratings, or guarantees of quality, viability, or investment worthiness.

If you require professional advice, you should consult with qualified professionals including licensed investment advisors, attorneys, accountants, or other appropriate experts.

9.3 No Guarantee of Results

TakeX expressly disclaims any guarantee, warranty, or representation regarding outcomes. We do not guarantee that:

Any founder will receive funding, investor interest, or meetings
Any investor will achieve any particular investment returns
Assessment results will be accurate or align with any investor's independent evaluation
The Certificate of Readiness indicates investment worthiness or likelihood of success
Introductions will result in meetings, investments, or any particular outcome
Any startup will succeed, generate returns, or meet projections
The Platform will identify all risks, weaknesses, or issues with any startup

Past assessments, certifications, or introductions are not indicative of future results.

9.4 No Reliance

You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

You will not rely solely on AI Outputs, assessments, or certifications when making any decision
You are solely responsible for your own due diligence and independent evaluation
You assume all risk associated with your use of AI Outputs and Platform information
TakeX bears no responsibility for decisions you make based on Platform content

FOR FOUNDERS: Assessment results and certifications do not guarantee funding or investor interest. You remain solely responsible for your pitch, your business, and your fundraising outcomes. By submitting your pitch deck, you understand that it will be shared with qualified investors on the Platform.

FOR INVESTORS, ACCELERATORS, CORPORATES & OTHER EVALUATORS: Assessment results and certifications do not constitute investment recommendations, admission decisions, lending decisions, or advice of any kind. You remain solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence before making any investment, admission, partnership, or business decision. TakeX does not evaluate the legal, financial, regulatory, or operational status of any startup beyond the scope of the Ambrose assessment.
