5Nature of Platform / No Professional Services

5.1 Software Tool Only

AwardLettr is a software-as-a-service platform that provides workflow management and document drafting tools for insurance appraisal professionals. The Service does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, the practice of law, accounting, insurance adjusting, public adjusting, appraisal, or any other licensed professional service.

5.2 No Professional Advice

No output, document, calculation, or suggestion generated by the platform — whether manually produced or generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence — constitutes professional advice of any kind. All output is provided solely as a drafting aid and starting point for the user's independent professional judgment.

5.3 User's Professional Responsibility

Users of AwardLettr are licensed professionals (or staff acting under the supervision of a licensed professional) who bear sole responsibility for independently verifying all platform output before signing, submitting, filing, or relying upon any document or work product. Use of AwardLettr does not relieve users of their professional obligations, licensing requirements, fiduciary duties, or duty of care owed to their clients or to any party in an appraisal proceeding.

Summary: AwardLettr is a software tool, not a professional service. You are the licensed professional — every document you produce using the platform is your responsibility.

6AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Acknowledgment of AI Limitations

BY USING AI-POWERED FEATURES OF THE SERVICE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS CAN AND DO PRODUCE ERRORS, HALLUCINATIONS, MISCALCULATIONS, FABRICATED INFORMATION, AND OMISSIONS. AI OUTPUT MUST BE INDEPENDENTLY REVIEWED AND VERIFIED BY A QUALIFIED HUMAN PROFESSIONAL BEFORE BEING SIGNED, SUBMITTED, FILED, RELIED UPON, OR USED IN ANY PROFESSIONAL, LEGAL, OR BUSINESS CONTEXT.

6.1 No Warranty on AI Output

AwardLettr makes no warranty or representation that AI-generated or AI-enhanced content is accurate, complete, current, free of errors, or suitable for any particular purpose. AI features — including but not limited to text enhancement, voice transcription, data extraction, and report drafting assistance — are provided as productivity aids only.

6.2 User Verification Required

The user, not AwardLettr, is solely and exclusively responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legal sufficiency of any document, report, award letter, invoice, or other work product produced using the platform, whether or not AI features were used in its preparation. Users expressly agree that they will not sign, submit, file, or transmit any document produced with the assistance of AI features without first performing independent verification of its contents.

6.3 Professional Obligations Not Diminished

Use of AI-powered features does not diminish, alter, or relieve the user of any professional obligation, licensing requirement, standard of care, or ethical duty applicable to the user's profession or jurisdiction. The user remains fully responsible for ensuring that all work product complies with applicable laws, regulations, professional standards, and the terms of any engagement with their clients.

6.4 Acknowledgment of Risk

By using AI-powered features, you acknowledge that you understand the inherent limitations of artificial intelligence technology, that you accept the risk that AI output may contain material errors or omissions, and that you assume full responsibility for any consequences resulting from your use of or reliance on AI-generated content.

Summary: AI can make mistakes. You must review everything AI produces before using it. You are responsible for all documents you sign or submit, regardless of whether AI helped draft them.

  • Input data you know to be false or materially misleading into the platform with the intent to produce deceptive work product

  • Maintaining appropriate professional licenses and insurance
  • Verifying the content of documents before signing or sending

You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving all AI-generated or AI-enhanced content before use in any professional, legal, or business context. AwardLettr makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of AI-generated output.

13Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AWARDLETTR, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

  • Loss of profits, revenue, or data

The limitations set forth in this section reflect the allocation of risk between the parties and are an essential element of the basis of the bargain between AwardLettr and you. AwardLettr would not provide the Service without these limitations.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14Indemnification

14.1 Indemnification Obligations

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AwardLettr and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your Content or data you submit
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable laws or regulations
  • Your violation of any third-party rights
  • Any claim related to your professional appraisal work
  • Claims arising from reliance on AI-generated or AI-enhanced content produced through the Service

  • Claims that you performed regulated professional services without appropriate licensing or authorization

We will provide reasonable notice of any such claim and may, at our option, assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification.

14.2 User Warranties

You warrant and represent that: (a) you are licensed or otherwise legally authorized to perform the insurance appraisal or related professional services you are using the platform to support, or you are acting under the supervision of such a licensed professional; (b) you will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and licensing requirements in your jurisdiction; (c) you have the authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself and, if applicable, your firm or business entity; and (d) you will not use the Service in any manner that would cause AwardLettr to violate any applicable law or regulation.

15No Guarantee of Outcome

AwardLettr does not guarantee, warrant, or represent that use of the Service will result in any particular outcome in any insurance claim, appraisal proceeding, arbitration, mediation, umpire hearing, or litigation. The platform is a drafting and workflow assistance tool only. The results of appraisal proceedings, dispute resolutions, settlement negotiations, and claim determinations are inherently uncertain, subject to the judgment of multiple parties, and entirely outside AwardLettr's control.

AwardLettr shall bear no responsibility whatsoever for: (a) the outcome of any appraisal, dispute, or proceeding; (b) the amount of any award, settlement, or determination; (c) the acceptance or rejection of any document or work product by any party, umpire, court, or regulatory body; or (d) any financial, legal, or professional consequence resulting from the outcome of a matter in which the platform was used.

Summary: We provide the tools — outcomes in appraisal proceedings are determined by the parties and decision-makers involved, not by the software.

16Document Retention & Legal Hold

16.1 Not a Recordkeeping System

AwardLettr is not designed or intended to serve as a document retention system, legal hold repository, or regulatory recordkeeping system. While the Service stores documents and data as part of its normal operation, users should not rely solely on AwardLettr for the retention of documents that may be required for litigation, regulatory compliance, audit, licensing, or any other legal or business purpose.

16.2 User Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for maintaining independent copies and backups of all work product, documents, reports, and data generated through or stored on the platform. Users should export and independently store any documents they may need to retain for professional, legal, regulatory, or tax purposes.

16.3 Retention Limitations

AwardLettr does not guarantee the retention of any document, data, or output beyond what is described in your applicable service tier. Data may be deleted in accordance with our data retention policies, upon account termination, or as described elsewhere in these Terms.

16.4 Legal Hold Notice

If you are subject to a legal hold, litigation hold, preservation order, or regulatory requirement to preserve documents, you must independently preserve all relevant data and must not rely on AwardLettr to fulfill any such preservation obligation on your behalf.

Summary: Keep your own copies of important documents. AwardLettr is not a legal archive — you are responsible for meeting any document retention requirements.

19.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

19.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.

19.5 Force Majeure

AwardLettr shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of government, or failures of third-party services.
