By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

SENTINEL.AI IS NOT A LAW FIRM. The Service, including all scans, reports, risk scores, findings, and recommendations, is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, legal opinions, or legal services of any kind.

  • We cannot guarantee that our scans will identify all potential compliance issues
  • We cannot guarantee that issues we identify are actual legal violations
  • Compliance requirements depend on many factors specific to your business that we cannot assess
  • Laws and regulations change frequently, and our analysis may not reflect the latest requirements
  • Interpretation of laws varies by jurisdiction, court, and regulatory body

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED, LICENSED ATTORNEY before making legal decisions or taking action based on our Service. Reliance on our Service without legal counsel is at your own risk.
