##1. Introduction & Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, viewing, downloading, or using any course, toolkit, template, website, software, workshop, strategy session, consulting engagement, vidcall, digital product, AI agent, Custom GPT, prompt, content pack, communication, or any related materials (collectively, “Content” and/or “Services”), you (“User”) agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”), which constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Christina J. Benevich, a sole proprietorship (the “Company”).

For clarity, “I Build Bots℠” is a brand identifier and service mark, not a legal entity or DBA. The contracting party is Christina J. Benevich, a sole proprietorship (the “Company”). References to “I Build Bots℠” identify the Company’s brand only and do not constitute a separate legal entity or assumed name filing.

These Terms govern your access to and use of all Content and Services provided by the Company. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not access or use the Content or Services.

Throughout these Terms, “Company” means COMPANY and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers. “User” means any individual or entity who accesses, views, downloads, purchases, licenses, or uses the Content and/or Services in any way. By using the Content or Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, and that you have the authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself and/or your organization.

2. Educational Purpose Only

All Content and Services are provided solely for general educational and informational purposes. Nothing in the Content or Services constitutes legal, financial, technical, tax, cybersecurity, or other professional advice, nor should it be relied upon as a substitute for consulting qualified professionals.

You acknowledge that AI tools, automation systems, and Custom GPTs involve complex, evolving technologies that may carry operational, compliance, or ethical risks. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of the Content or Services for your particular circumstances.

You agree that you are solely responsible for verifying and assessing any actions, strategies, or solutions described in the Content or Services with your own legal, financial, cybersecurity, and other qualified, accredited advisors (including advisors familiar with the jurisdictions in which you conduct business and/or deploy AI tools) before relying on or implementing such actions, strategies, or solutions. By using the Content or Services, you accept full responsibility for any decisions made or actions taken and agree that the Company shall have no liability for any loss or damage arising from or related to your use.

3. Third-Party Subscriptions & Requirements

Certain Products and Services require separate third-party subscriptions, accounts, credits, or tools (for example, but not limited to: ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI API credits, cloud storage, communications platforms, CRM/helpdesk tools, payment processors, or automation services). You are solely responsible for (a) procuring and maintaining any required third-party subscriptions or accounts; (b) paying all associated third-party fees, taxes, and charges; and (c) complying with applicable third-party terms.

The Company does not control third-party pricing, policies, feature sets, availability, or data handling practices and is not liable for any interruption, limitation, change, or discontinuation by such third parties. Your inability or decision not to obtain or maintain required third-party tools does not entitle you to any refund or credit from the Company. Minimum system, network, and software requirements may apply and may change without notice.

4. Technology Dependencies, Performance Disclaimer & Third-Party Integrations

You acknowledge and agree that the performance, accuracy, and availability of AI models (including, without limitation, Custom GPTs) may vary over time due to evolving model capabilities, algorithm updates, rate limits, usage policies, and other factors beyond the Company’s control.

The Company’s Content and Services may rely on third-party platforms, frameworks, or software (including, without limitation, OpenAI services) whose performance and continuity cannot be guaranteed by the Company. The Company disclaims any liability for interruptions, errors, inaccuracies, or degraded performance resulting from such dependencies or integrations. You agree to evaluate, test, and monitor any AI tools or integrations for suitability and performance within your environment.

You further acknowledge that third-party availability, performance, data security, privacy practices, and reliability are outside the Company’s control. The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage, data breach, compliance failure, or service interruption arising from the acts, omissions, policies, or failures of any third-party provider. You accept all risks associated with using any third-party technology that supports or enables the Content or Services.
