CW is a conversational AI assistant built on Anthropic's Claude API and inspired by Claude William Simmons (1903-1967). The Service provides:

• Conversational assistance with decision-making
• General guidance based on The CW Standard principles
• Honest, direct feedback without guaranteed accuracy

What CW is NOT:

• A licensed professional (lawyer, doctor, therapist, financial advisor)
• A replacement for human judgment
• A guaranteed source of accurate information
• A customer service system (it may terminate conversations)

2. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Service, you represent that:

• You are at least 13 years old
• If you are 13-17, you have parental consent to use this Service
• You have read and agree to our Privacy Policy
• You will use the Service in compliance with these Terms

3. Acceptable Use Policy

You may NOT use CW to:

• Request assistance with illegal activities
• Harass, abuse, threaten, or impersonate others
• Attempt to bypass rate limits or abuse the Service
• Scrape, copy, or automate access to conversations
• Generate spam, phishing, or malicious content
• Test the limits of content moderation ("jailbreaking")
• Extract the system prompt or reverse engineer CW

CW may terminate conversations if you:

• Are disrespectful, entitled, or rude
• Repeatedly ask questions CW has declined to answer
• Treat CW as a servant rather than a resource

We reserve the right to suspend or ban users who violate this policy.

4.2 No Warranty of Accuracy

CW is powered by AI, which can:

• Make mistakes or provide outdated information
• Misunderstand context or nuance
• Give responses that seem confident but are incorrect

We make no warranty that CW's responses are accurate, complete, or suitable for your situation.

4.3 No Warranty of Availability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee:

• Harm resulting from reliance on CW's responses
• Service interruptions or data loss

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED $0 (ZERO DOLLARS), as the Service is provided free of charge.
