These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the relationship between S³arch Digital (“the Company,” “we,” “us”) and the client (“the Client,” “you”) regarding the delivery of the AI Launchpad, individual Intelligence Pillars, and any associated AI architectural services.
By engaging S³arch Digital, you are commissioning the engineering of an autonomous digital ecosystem. Our services are delivered through a structured “Architect-led” approach. All project timelines provided are estimates based on the “Forensic Audit” phase.
Client Content: You retain all rights to the data, branding, and content you provide to us.
The S³arch Framework: We retain all rights to our proprietary methodologies, the “S³” framework, and any pre-existing code, prompts, or “AI recipes” used to build your ecosystem.
The Deliverable: Upon full payment, you are granted a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the final website and integrated AI pillars for your business operations.
You acknowledge that AI technologies (Interactive, Operational, and Visual) are generative and probabilistic.
While we engineer for high accuracy, S³arch Digital does not guarantee that AI outputs will always be factually correct or error-free.
It is the Client’s responsibility to monitor AI-generated interactions and content. We are not liable for “hallucinations” or incorrect information provided by the AI to third parties.
Our ecosystems integrate with third-party providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, AWS).
You agree to abide by the terms of these third parties.
API usage costs from these providers are the responsibility of the Client unless explicitly stated otherwise in your “Growth Ecosystem” plan.
AI Launchpad: Requires a 50% upfront deposit to begin the “Blueprinting” phase.
Individual Pillars/Growth Plans: Invoiced as per the agreed project milestone or monthly retainer.
Late payments may result in the temporary suspension of your “Interactive” and “Operational” AI services.
To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, S³arch Digital shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including loss of profits or data) arising out of the use or inability to use the AI ecosystem. Our total liability is limited to the amount paid by you for the specific service in question.
Either party may terminate the agreement with [30] days’ written notice. Upon termination, your license to use our proprietary “S³” architecture may be revoked unless a “Buy-out” clause is exercised.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Section 3 (AI Hallucinations): This is vital. In 2026, as AI becomes more autonomous, you must legally state that you aren’t responsible if a chatbot promises a customer a “free car” by mistake.
Section 4 (API Costs): This protects you from a client running up a £1,000 OpenAI bill and expecting you to pay it.
The “Lead Architect” Clause: Ensure your contracts reflect that you are providing engineering services, not just “software.”
