• OpenAI Terms: https://openai.com/terms

The Desktop App optionally integrates with the Anthropic API for AI-assisted entity generation.

Your use of the Anthropic API is subject to Anthropic's Terms of Service.

We are not responsible for any issues arising from your use of third-party services.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

8.1 No Warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
• Warranties that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• Warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, or completeness of detection results

8.2 Detection Accuracy

While we strive for accurate detection of sensitive data, the Software:

• May produce false positives (flagging non-sensitive data)
• May produce false negatives (missing sensitive data)
• Cannot detect all possible forms of sensitive information
• Requires manual review of detected items

8.3 Interception Limitations (Extension)

The Extension aims to intercept and scan content before transmission to AI providers. However, due to technical challenges with modern web applications, we do not guarantee 100% interception of all data sent to AI platforms. Limitations include:

• Web Interface Variations: Different AI providers use varying frameworks, rendering methods, and transmission paths
• Telemetry and Analytics: Platforms may send data through multiple channels including separate telemetry endpoints
• Provider Updates: Frequent interface changes by AI providers may temporarily affect interception accuracy
• Asynchronous Operations: Complex async patterns can create timing-dependent edge cases

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RULESENTRY BE LIABLE FOR:

• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill
• Damages resulting from unauthorized access to or use of your data
• Damages arising from your use or inability to use the Software
• Data breaches resulting from missed detections or false negatives

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR $100 USD IF THE SOFTWARE IS FREE).
