Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, all services are provided on a non-exclusive, consultancy basis and do not constitute the provision of legal, regulatory, financial, or medical advice.
Engagement and Contract Formation
A binding contract for services shall arise only when:

Any proposals, discussions, or preliminary communications do not constitute an offer capable of acceptance unless explicitly stated.
Standard of Performance
X undertakes to perform its services with reasonable skill, care, and professional diligence, consistent with accepted standards of practice in advanced artificial intelligence consultancy and research. X does not guarantee specific outcomes, commercial results, or technical performance beyond the scope expressly agreed with the client.
Client Responsibilities
Clients agree to:
- provide accurate, complete, and timely information relevant to the engagement;

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
