While Slaab AI strives to deliver high‑quality, reliable, and effective AI automation solutions, no service can be guaranteed to be error‑free, uninterrupted, or to produce specific business results. The Services are provided in accordance with the agreed Scope of Work (“SOW”) and subject to the limitations described in these Terms.

9.2 Dependency on Client Inputs and Cooperation

• Timelines, performance, and outcomes depend on the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of information, data, feedback, and approvals provided by the Client as outlined in Clause 8 – Client Responsibilities.
• Any delay, omission, or inaccuracy in such inputs may impact deliverables, schedules, and expected results, for which Slaab AI shall bear no liability.

9.3 Third‑Party Systems and Services

Some Services may rely on third‑party platforms, APIs, hosting providers, data sources, licences, or software that are not owned or controlled by Slaab AI.

Accordingly:

• Slaab AI is not responsible for downtime, service changes, pricing adjustments, data loss, or performance issues caused by those third parties.
• Continued functionality of integrations is subject to such third‑party providers maintaining their services and APIs without changes that could break compatibility.
• If a third‑party discontinues, limits, or alters its service, Slaab AI may need to adjust the agreed solution, and this may incur additional cost and/or time, subject to a separate written agreement.
• While Slaab AI provides secure AI automation services, clients are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR and UAE PDPL, when integrating our solutions into their systems.

9.4 Environmental and Technical Conditions

• The performance of any deployed solution depends on the operating environment (e.g., system configuration, hardware, network speeds, and user practices).

9.5 “As‑Is” Provision for Experimental or Beta Services

If the Client opts to engage in beta trials, proof‑of‑concepts, or experimental features, such services are provided strictly “as‑is” without any warranties, guarantees, or commitments as to performance, reliability, or fitness for purpose.

9.6 No Guarantee of Financial or Commercial Success

Slaab AI provides technical and process optimisation solutions; however, business outcomes such as profitability, cost savings, or efficiency gains depend on multiple external factors outside our control (including, but not limited to, market conditions, operational practices, and user adoption). Therefore:

• No guarantee, warranty, or representation is made that the Services will achieve any particular commercial or financial result.
• The Client assumes full responsibility for evaluating whether the deliverables meet their intended business needs.
