3. Service Description

ClawDaddy provides managed hosting services for OpenClaw AI assistants ("Service"). The Service enables customers to deploy and operate AI assistant instances in a hosted environment.

Our Service is provided on a "best-effort" basis. We do not guarantee any specific uptime, availability, or service level agreement (SLA).

3.1 AI Output Disclaimer

THE AI ASSISTANTS HOSTED THROUGH OUR SERVICE GENERATE CONTENT USING THIRD-PARTY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELS. AI-GENERATED CONTENT MAY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, MISLEADING, OR INAPPROPRIATE ("HALLUCINATIONS"). You acknowledge and agree that:

ClawDaddy does not control, curate, or verify the outputs generated by AI assistants.
AI outputs do not constitute professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to legal, medical, financial, or tax advice.
You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and determining the appropriateness of any AI-generated content before relying on or distributing it.
ClawDaddy bears no liability for any actions taken or decisions made based on AI-generated content.
AI models are provided by third-party vendors and are subject to their own terms, limitations, and potential changes without notice.
