Terms of Service

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the Watts 9000 Advisory System™ platform (the "Platform"), operated by Watts Laboratories ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

Before starting project intake (including a standalone analysis or an advisory engagement), you must affirmatively accept the then-current Terms. Declining acceptance blocks intake.

These Terms are versioned (2026-07-22). Material updates may require re-acceptance. Continued use after changes also constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Platform.

You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of unauthorized access.

If you use the Platform on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

Nature of the service

The Platform provides software-assisted strategy research, workflow orchestration, multi-persona analysis, and document generation for business planning purposes.

The Platform does not execute trades, manage assets, custody funds, file regulatory documents, underwrite securities, or provide personalized professional services unless separately agreed in a signed written agreement.

Personas, workflow maps, scores, and generated narratives are orchestration and drafting aids — not certified expert opinions.

Not financial or professional advice

Watts Laboratories is not acting as a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, law firm, CPA firm, or fiduciary through the Platform unless explicitly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement.

Any discussion of markets, capital, pricing, competitive dynamics, or strategy is general informational analysis only.

• Not investment advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or short any security, token, commodity, or other instrument.
• Not legal, tax, accounting, insurance, actuarial, medical, clinical, or safety advice.
• Not a fairness opinion, valuation opinion, audit, attestation, or compliance certification.
• Not a substitute for licensed counsel, registered advisers, accountants, or other professionals in your jurisdiction(s).

No advisory or fiduciary relationship

Use of the Platform does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, broker-client, investment-advisory, or confidential professional relationship.

No duty of care, loyalty, suitability, best execution, or similar professional duty arises from generated materials, personas, chat, or workflow recommendations.

Multi-model AI processing and third-party providers

The Platform routes prompts, documents, and session context through multiple large language models and related tools operated by third-party providers (which may include, without limitation, model APIs, hosting, storage, search, and observability vendors).

Those providers may process, log, retain, review, or use content according to their own terms, privacy policies, and product settings. Retention, training, abuse-monitoring, and human review practices are outside our exclusive control.

Provider policies change. We do not guarantee that any particular provider will treat your content as confidential, ephemeral, or excluded from model improvement.

• Assume submissions may leave our systems and be readable by third parties.
• Assume absolute confidentiality, privilege, or trade-secret protection cannot be assured.
• Do not upload material you are contractually or legally forbidden from sharing with third-party AI systems.

Confidentiality disclaimer

WHILE WE APPLY REASONABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL SAFEGUARDS, NO ONLINE OR AI-ASSISTED SYSTEM CAN GUARANTEE CONFIDENTIALITY, SECRECY, OR NON-DISCLOSURE.

You acknowledge that confidentiality, attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, and similar protections may be waived, lost, or unavailable once content is submitted to the Platform or its subprocessors.

You are solely responsible for redacting, anonymizing, or withholding sensitive information before submission.

Assumption of risk — analysis and outputs

You understand that AI-assisted analysis may be incomplete, outdated, biased, fabricated, or wrong — including citations, numbers, competitive claims, and recommendations.

YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON PLATFORM OUTPUTS. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim any and all responsibility and liability for analysis, recommendations, documents, scores, or other outputs — whether generated automatically or with human review — and for any action you take or omit based on them.

You must independently verify material facts and obtain qualified professional advice before making business, financial, legal, or investment decisions.

Acceptable use

• Do not use the Platform for unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful activity.
• Do not attempt to probe, disrupt, or reverse engineer the Platform except as permitted by law.
• Do not submit content you lack rights to use or that infringes third-party intellectual property.
• Do not submit regulated personal data, protected health information, payment card data, or government-classified information unless we have expressly agreed in writing to process that category.
• Do not rely on the Platform as a system of record for regulated compliance without independent verification.
• Do not misrepresent Platform outputs as human-prepared professional advice without appropriate disclosure.

Your content and submissions

You retain ownership of materials you submit. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to process, store, transmit, display, and create derivative workflow artifacts from your content solely to operate, secure, debug, and improve the Platform.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit content and that submissions do not violate applicable law, confidentiality obligations, or third-party rights.

You authorize transmission of your content to third-party subprocessors as described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Intellectual property

The Platform, including workflows, personas, templates, software, and branding (including Watts 9000 Advisory System™), is owned by Watts Laboratories or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.

Except for the limited license to use the Platform as intended, no rights are granted by implication or otherwise.

Fees and availability

Access may be subject to fees, usage limits, or invitation-only enrollment as described at signup or in an order form.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable notice where practicable. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ERROR-FREE, THAT CONFIDENTIALITY WILL BE PRESERVED, OR THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

See the Disclaimer page incorporated by reference for additional limitations on the nature of Platform outputs.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR RELIANCE ON ANY OUTPUT — WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Watts Laboratories and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Platform, your content, your reliance on outputs, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Interstate and remote use

The Platform is a U.S.-oriented software service operated from Florida and may be accessed remotely across state lines and internationally.

Remote or multi-state use does not expand confidentiality, privilege, professional-advice, or liability protections beyond these Terms.

You are responsible for compliance with laws applicable to you in every jurisdiction where you access or use the Platform or act on its outputs.

Termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, security risk, or legal requirement.

Sections that by nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, confidentiality acknowledgments, indemnity, and governing law) will survive.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., excluding conflict-of-law rules.

Except where prohibited, disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Platform and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.

No waiver is effective unless in writing. We may assign these Terms in connection with a reorganization, merger, or sale of assets.
