# Steltic — Disclaimer, Terms of Use & Limitation of Liability

> TEMPLATE — have a licensed attorney review before relying on it. Replace every `[BRACKETED]` placeholder.
> No disclaimer waives *all* liability (e.g. gross negligence, willful misconduct, death/personal injury in
> many jurisdictions); the language below limits liability **to the maximum extent permitted by law**.

By accessing, creating an account on, or using **Steltic — your structural design assistant** (the "Service",
"Steltic"), operated by **Steltic** (the "Provider", "we"), you ("User") agree to all terms below. If you do not
agree, do not use the Service.

## 1. What Steltic is
Steltic is an orchestration harness around an AI / large-language-model system **that you select and supply** via
your own API key. Steltic guides that model through a structural-design workflow but **generates no engineering
content of its own** — every model, calculation, figure, and report (the "Outputs") is produced by your chosen AI.
How Steltic handles your data, prompts, and Outputs is described in the **Privacy Policy**.

## 2. No professional engineering services
The Outputs are **preliminary, informational, and for conceptual/educational purposes only.** Use of the Service is
**not** the practice of engineering and creates **no** engineer-client or professional relationship. No licensed
professional has reviewed or sealed the Outputs.

## 3. No warranty — "AS IS"
The Service and all Outputs are provided **"AS IS", with all faults, and WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND**, express,
implied, or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, and
non-infringement. Because Steltic generates no Outputs of its own and does not control the AI model you supply, it
makes no representation or guarantee as to the quality, accuracy, or reliability of any Output.

## 4. AI limitations
The Outputs are generated by probabilistic AI systems that can produce errors, omissions, and fabricated values
that appear authoritative but are wrong, and depend on the third-party model you select and supply.

## 5. Independent verification required — NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION
The Outputs **must not** be used for design, construction, fabrication, or permitting, nor relied upon for any
decision affecting health, safety, or property, **unless and until** independently checked and, where applicable,
**sealed/stamped by a professional engineer licensed in the relevant jurisdiction** who assumes responsibility.
You are solely responsible for verifying every input, assumption, load, capacity, citation, and result.

## 6. Assumption of risk
You assume **all risk** from using the Service and the Outputs. Any reliance is strictly at your own risk.

## 7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) Provider and its owners, employees, and affiliates are **not liable**
for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any property damage, personal
injury, or death, under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility; and (b) Provider's total
aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid in the prior **[3]** months or **US $[100]**.

## 8. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Provider and its owners, employees, and affiliates from any
claims, losses, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service or
Outputs, your reliance on them, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

## 9. General
Governed by the laws of **[STATE/COUNTRY]**. If any provision is unenforceable it is severed and the rest remains
in force. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement regarding the Service.

**BY TICKING "I HAVE READ AND ACCEPT…" OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THESE
TERMS, INCLUDING THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.**
