Designer Advisory — AI Disclaimer & Terms of Use for AI Features
1. Nature of the Service. Designer Advisory is a support tool for interior designers. It uses artificial intelligence — including large language models from third-party providers such as Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI — to generate suggestions, drafts, content, recommendations, and other advisory output ("AI Output"). AI Output is informational only and does not constitute professional, legal, financial, tax, or business advice.
2. Human Approval Required. Designer Advisory never sends, schedules, posts, emails, or executes any AI Output on your behalf without your explicit approval. You are the final decision-maker for every action taken within or based on the platform.
3. Accuracy & Limitations. AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or inconsistent with your brand voice. Generative AI can produce confident-sounding statements that are factually wrong ("hallucinations"). You agree to independently review, verify, and edit all AI Output before relying on it or sharing it with clients, vendors, or the public.
4. Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for: (a) the accuracy and appropriateness of any content you publish, send, or act upon; (b) compliance with applicable laws, professional licensing requirements, advertising rules, intellectual property rights, and platform terms (e.g. Instagram, email providers); and (c) any business, creative, or financial outcomes resulting from your use of AI Output.
5. No Warranty. AI Output is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Designer Advisory, The McClain Method, and their affiliates disclaim all express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
6. Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Designer Advisory and The McClain Method shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — or for any lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities — arising out of or related to your use of AI Output, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
7. Third-Party AI Providers. AI Output is generated in part using third-party services. Your use of Designer Advisory is also subject to the usage policies of those providers. Designer Advisory does not control and is not responsible for the underlying behavior of third-party AI models.
8. Not a Substitute for Professional Judgment. AI Output is not a substitute for the judgment of a licensed interior designer, attorney, accountant, marketer, or other qualified professional. When in doubt, consult an appropriate professional before acting.
