Terms of Service

Agreement

AI Consulting Systems is a solo practice. These terms cover use of this website, the contact form, the Ask ACS assistant, and the client portal. Paid work is also governed by the proposal, statement of work, or other written agreement for that engagement. If that agreement conflicts with these terms, the engagement agreement controls.

Services

I provide hands-on AI implementation, including custom applications, assistants, workflow automation, integration, and data or machine-learning pipelines, as scoped for each engagement. Site descriptions are general. They are not a promise that a particular result, timeline, or approach will fit your business until the work is agreed in writing.

Payment

Fees, expenses, and payment timing are set in the engagement agreement or on the invoice. Invoices are due as stated on the invoice. Late or missing payment may pause work. Unless the agreement says otherwise, fees already earned for work performed are payable even if you later stop the engagement.

Confidentiality

I treat non-public information you share for an inquiry or an engagement as confidential and use it only to evaluate or perform the work. You agree to treat my non-public proposals, pricing, and working materials the same way. This duty does not cover information that is already public, that you already knew, or that must be disclosed by law.

The public contact form and Ask ACS assistant are not a confidential channel. Do not submit passwords, credentials, or regulated personal data there. Portal materials for an active engagement are limited to invited accounts.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the accuracy of information you submit, for access you grant to systems or data, and for having the rights needed to share that material. You will not use the site or portal to break the law, probe or disrupt the service, or upload malicious files.

Ownership

Unless the engagement agreement says otherwise, you own the deliverables I create specifically for you once the related invoices are paid. I keep ownership of pre-existing tools, libraries, and general methods, and I may reuse skills and non-confidential know-how on other work. Third-party software stays under its own license.

Disclaimers and liability

The website, assistant, and portal are provided as available. The assistant can be wrong and is not professional, legal, or financial advice. Implementation work is warranted only to the extent stated in the engagement agreement.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, I am not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or data. My total liability arising out of the site or an engagement is limited to the fees you paid me for that engagement in the three months before the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars if no fees were paid. These limits do not apply where the law does not allow them.

Portal accounts

Portal accounts are for the client organization they are issued to. Keep sign-in methods private and tell me if you believe an account has been misused. I may suspend access that appears unauthorized or that violates these terms.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where the practice is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a provision cannot be enforced, the rest remains in effect.
