Terms of Use
Effective: May 12, 2025 · Last updated: May 12, 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the AIWatchdog website at aiwatchdog.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.
These Terms apply to all visitors, subscribers, and purchasers. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. Not Legal Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by reading, using, or relying on any content published on this Site.
AIWatchdog publishes editorial intelligence and educational content for informational purposes only. Our guides, alerts, policy templates, tool assessments, and training materials are starting points for your own research and decision-making — not substitutes for advice from a qualified attorney, accountant, or other licensed professional in your jurisdiction.
AI regulations, vendor policies, and legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and change frequently. Always verify critical information with authoritative sources and qualified professionals before taking action.
3. Intellectual Property
All content on the Site — including articles, guides, templates, course materials, graphics, and the AIWatchdog brand — is owned by AIWatchdog or its content providers and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.
Free content. You may read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts from our free articles and guides for non-commercial purposes, provided you attribute AIWatchdog and link back to the original page.
Purchased products. Digital products (policy templates, checklists, course materials) purchased from AIWatchdog are licensed for your internal business use only. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or publish purchased materials as your own work.
Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of our content is prohibited and may result in legal action.
4. Digital Product Purchases
License. Upon purchase, AIWatchdog grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the purchased digital product for your internal business purposes. This license does not include the right to resell, redistribute, or use the product in a competing product or service.
No refunds. Because our products are digital downloads delivered immediately upon purchase, all sales are final. If you experience a technical issue preventing you from accessing your purchase, contact us at [email protected] and we will resolve it promptly.
Product accuracy. Policy templates and other materials are provided as starting points and are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific jurisdiction or circumstances. Always have a qualified attorney review any legal or compliance document before relying on it.
5. Course Access
Access to the Employee AI Safety Course is granted upon purchase for the number of users specified in your plan. Course access is non-transferable and may not be shared outside your organization. We reserve the right to update course content to reflect regulatory changes and best practices.
6. Legal Help Directory
The Legal Help Directory contains paid listings. Attorneys and firms pay for inclusion in the directory. Inclusion is not an endorsement, recommendation, or certification of competence. AIWatchdog does not verify the credentials, licensure, or disciplinary history of listed attorneys. Always conduct your own due diligence before retaining any attorney.
AIWatchdog is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or outcome of any legal services provided by attorneys listed in the directory.
7. Tool Ratings
AI Tool Trust Ratings are editorial assessments based on publicly available information, including vendor privacy policies, terms of service, and security documentation. They are not security audits, legal opinions, or endorsements. Ratings may change as vendor policies evolve. Always conduct your own due diligence before adopting any AI tool for your business.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.

The Site and all content, products, and services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AIWatchdog and its owners, employees, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site, its content, or any products purchased, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the Site or purchase of a product shall not exceed the amount you paid for the relevant product, or $50 if no purchase was made.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
