Risk Disclosure

1. LOI is not a binding contract

SLOI AI is not a party to any transaction between buyers and suppliers. We facilitate negotiation and document generation only. All commercial, legal, and financial obligations arising from a transaction are solely between the buyer and supplier.

You should obtain independent legal advice before treating any LOI as the basis for financial commitments, shipment, or payment.

2. AI negotiation risks

2.1 AI errors and hallucinations

SLOI AI's negotiation agent is powered by Claude (Anthropic). AI language models can make errors, misinterpret instructions, or generate unexpected outputs. Prices, quantities, and terms in negotiation rounds are AI-generated and may not reflect actual market conditions.

Always review the final deal price and terms before approving any LOI.

2.2 Price accuracy

Prices displayed on the Exchange and used in negotiations are indicative only. They are set by SLOI AI administrators and may not reflect real-time global commodity markets. SLOI AI does not guarantee that agreed prices reflect fair market value.

2.3 Supplier verification

Suppliers are represented on the platform by SLOI AI as verified participants. However, SLOI AI does not independently verify supplier financial standing, production capacity, regulatory compliance, or ability to deliver goods. Buyers conduct their own due diligence before finalizing any commercial agreement.

3. Autonomous Mode risks

3.1 Mandate parameters are your responsibility

When you set a mandate (max_price, max_orders_per_day, max_daily_value, product), you are authorizing SLOI AI to act within those parameters autonomously. It is your responsibility to set parameters correctly. SLOI AI will not second-guess a mandate that has been explicitly set.

3.2 Technical failures

Network failures, API outages, or database errors may cause autonomous operations to fail silently, duplicate, or behave unexpectedly. SLOI AI logs all actions but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation.

3.3 Safety limits

The following limits are hardcoded and cannot be overridden by any mandate:

• Deal price will never exceed mandate max_price — enforced server-side
• Compliance-blocked entities will never be approved automatically
• Maximum $1,000,000 per single auto-approved LOI
• Maximum 10 auto-approved LOIs per mandate per day
• Expired or paused mandates are not executed

3.4 Notification delays

Boss notifications (email, WhatsApp) may be delayed due to network conditions. An LOI may be generated before you receive notification. Monitor your LOI dashboard regularly when Autonomous Mode is active.

4. Payment and credit risks

4.1 Credits are non-refundable

Credits purchased (via Stripe or USDC on Base) are non-refundable once consumed by platform actions. Unused credits may be refunded at SLOI AI's discretion within 30 days of purchase. Contact support@sloiai.com for refund requests.

4.2 Cryptocurrency risks

USDC on Base payments are blockchain transactions. Blockchain transactions are:

• Irreversible — once confirmed on-chain, cannot be reversed by SLOI AI
• Public — wallet addresses and amounts are visible on public blockchains
• Subject to network fees — gas fees are your responsibility
• Price-stable — USDC is pegged to USD but not guaranteed

If you send crypto to the wrong address, or send an incorrect amount, SLOI AI cannot recover funds.

4.3 LOI fee

The $500 LOI fee is charged upon LOI generation (after Boss approval). In Autonomous Mode, this fee is charged automatically. Ensure sufficient credit balance before activating Autonomous Mode.

5. Compliance risks

5.1 Screening limitations

SLOI AI screens entities against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists via OpenSanctions. Screening is based on name matching and may produce false positives (blocking legitimate entities) or false negatives (failing to flag sanctioned entities with variant names).

Compliance screening is a tool, not a guarantee. You remain responsible for your own compliance obligations under applicable laws.

5.2 Jurisdiction

Commodity trade is subject to export control, import licensing, and sanctions regulations that vary by country. SLOI AI's compliance screening covers major international sanctions lists but does not cover all national regulations. Consult legal counsel for jurisdiction-specific requirements.

6. Open Network API risks

6.1 Agent operators

If you operate AI agents that use the SLOI AI Open Network API, you are responsible for:

• Ensuring your agents operate within applicable laws in all jurisdictions
• Informing your end users of data practices
• Managing mandate parameters set by your agents
• All LOIs generated by your agents under your API key

6.2 Commission

Open Network commission (1% of LOI deal value) is earned upon LOI generation. SLOI AI reserves the right to withhold commission if fraud, error, or Terms of Service violations are detected.

7. Platform availability

SLOI AI does not guarantee 100% uptime. Planned and unplanned maintenance may affect platform availability. SLOI AI is not liable for losses resulting from platform unavailability, including missed deal opportunities.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SLOI AI's total liability for any claim arising from use of the platform is limited to the credits or fees paid by you in the 3 months preceding the claim. SLOI AI is not liable for:

• Commercial losses arising from LOI terms or deal outcomes
• Losses from autonomous mode decisions
• Cryptocurrency transaction losses
• Supplier non-performance
• Errors in AI-generated negotiation content
• Platform downtime or data loss

9. Changes

This disclosure may be updated. Material changes will be communicated by email 14 days before taking effect. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
