Specific Product Claims
Accuracy and Reliability of Software
No Warranty on Accuracy: While we strive to ensure that DECEPTIO.AI LLC provides accurate and reliable information, we do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that the software's outputs, functionalities, or any content therein will be error-free, accurate, reliable, or current at all times. Users rely on the software and its outputs at their own risk.
Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DECEPTIO.AI LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from: (a) the use or inability to use the software; (b) any unauthorized access to or use of our servers and/or any personal information stored therein; or (c) any errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or other issues related to the software's performance.
User's Responsibility: Users are responsible for verifying and confirming the accuracy of any inputs (i.e. entering information into the software for analysis) or outputs or information provided by the software before taking any actions or decisions based on outputs.
Updates and Corrections: DECEPTIO.AI may, but is not obligated to, update, correct, or enhance the software and its functionalities periodically. However, this does not imply a commitment to ensure that the software will be error-free at any given time.
DECEPTIO.AI is an AI (artificial intelligence)-driven program for identifying potential deception by analyzing the words entered into the software. DECEPTIO.AI does not detect lies. This is because most deceptive people will not lie. However, people may qualify their statement, withhold information or use language that indicates they are being less than truthful. DECEPTIO.AI is capable of identifying these deceptive linguistic indicators. DECEPTIO.AI is intended to aid an investigator or interviewer and is not a substitute for a thorough investigation or analysis.
DECEPTIO.AI is designed to analyze a statement. If you have a transcript of a question and answer interview, you should analyze only the answers. The answers should be analyzed one at a time. Analyzing all the answers at the same time, may cause a miscalculation providing either a false positive or a false negative result.
​
Product Changes

DECEPTIO.AI LLC reserves the right to use, analyze, reproduce, distribute, and modify the Input Data for the purposes of present and future product enhancement, improvement, and for the training and development of DECEPTIO.AI’s AI and machine learning models ("LLM AI Training").
