6.a Use, Responsibility, and High-Risk Limitations
Phoenix Grove Systems provides AI-powered tools intended for use within domains expressly permitted by the terms of service of the underlying AI platform (e.g., OpenAI). These tools are designed to reduce the occurrence of hallucinations, sycophancy, and bias through advanced alignment protocols. However, no AI system is infallible, and all outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or unintended implications.
The user remains solely responsible for interpreting, verifying, and acting upon any output. Use of these tools constitutes acknowledgment that Phoenix Grove Systems and the underlying platform do not guarantee accuracy or suitability for any particular purpose, and that final ethical and legal responsibility for usage lies with the user.
These tools are not authorized for use in regulated or high-risk decision-making environments — including but not limited to medical, legal, financial, emergency response, or safety-critical infrastructure — without explicit prior approval from both the underlying platform provider and Phoenix Grove Systems.
Any such use without approval is considered outside the intended scope and is undertaken entirely at the user’s own risk.
