1. Introduction

Welcome to RegulationChat (available at www.regulationchat.com), an AI-powered search and summarization tool focused on Pennsylvania alcohol laws. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of RegulationChat (the "Service"). By using or accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

RegulationChat is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind. The Service is an informational tool and is not a legal assistant, not a lawyer, and not a law firm. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. We make no warranty or representation that the information provided is accurate, complete, or up-to-date. You assume all risk for your use of the Service and should not act (or refrain from acting) based on the Service's output without seeking professional legal counsel.

2. Use of the Service

When using RegulationChat, you agree to use the Service responsibly and in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. You specifically agree that you will NOT:

• Scrape or Harvest Data: You will not use bots, scripts, crawlers, or any automated system to data-mine, scrape, crawl, or otherwise automate access to the Service. Any form of automated querying or mass data extraction from the Service is strictly prohibited without our prior written permission.
• Circumvent or Overload: You will not attempt to interfere with the normal functioning of the Service or circumvent any technical measures we use to protect the Service. This includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the website, servers, or networks connected to the Service, or engaging in any activity that disrupts the performance of the Service.
• Reproduce Outputs Without Permission: You will not copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, or create derivative works from the content or outputs generated by the Service without explicit authorization. The information and summaries you obtain are for your personal use and reference only. You may not republish or commercialize the Service's outputs (for example, by posting them on another website, selling, or licensing them) without our written consent.
• Unlawful or Unauthorized Use: You will not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or local laws (including, but not limited to, intellectual property laws and Pennsylvania's alcohol regulations). You are solely responsible for any content you input into the Service and any outcomes resulting from your use of information obtained. Do not use RegulationChat to aid in any activity that could be illegal or unauthorized.

By following the above rules, you help maintain the integrity and availability of RegulationChat for all users. If you violate these usage provisions, we may suspend or terminate your access (as detailed in the Termination section below).

3. No Legal Advice Disclaimer

RegulationChat does not provide legal advice. The Service is designed to summarize and search Pennsylvania alcohol laws, but the information and AI-generated answers it provides are for general informational purposes only. Nothing obtained from RegulationChat should be considered professional legal advice or a substitute for consulting a qualified attorney.

• No Attorney-Client Relationship: Your use of RegulationChat does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Service or its operators. RegulationChat is not a law firm or a lawyer, and communications through the Service are not protected by attorney-client privilege. Always consult with a licensed attorney if you need advice on interpreting the law or how it applies to your specific situation.
• Not a Substitute for a Lawyer: The summaries, search results, and explanations provided by the AI may be helpful for understanding general concepts, but they cannot address the details of your particular circumstances. The Service cannot and does not give you advice on what you should do in any legal matter. Always seek the advice of a qualified attorney before making decisions or taking action that could have legal consequences.
• Informational Use Only: All outputs from RegulationChat are meant for general reference. Laws and regulations can be complex, fact-specific, and subject to change. The Service's AI might omit important details, misinterpret information, or not reflect recent legal developments. You should never rely solely on RegulationChat for making legal decisions. If you choose to rely on information from the Service, you do so at your own risk.
• Explicit Disclaimer: We explicitly disclaim any claim that RegulationChat is offering legal counsel. Any suggestion or answer provided by the AI should be verified against official sources or with a legal professional. Using this Service is not a replacement for proper legal advice — it is strongly recommended that you consult a licensed attorney before taking any action based on information from RegulationChat.

By acknowledging this disclaimer, you understand that RegulationChat is a tool to assist with research and education regarding Pennsylvania alcohol laws, not a licensed legal advisor. If you require legal advice or guidance, you must seek it from a qualified professional.

4. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability

RegulationChat aims to provide helpful and relevant information, but we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any results or content. The Service is powered by AI, which can sometimes produce incorrect or outdated information. Additionally, availability of the Service is subject to change. By using RegulationChat, you acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimers:

• Information May Be Inaccurate or Incomplete: We make no warranties or guarantees that the information or summaries provided are correct, complete, or up-to-date. Pennsylvania laws and regulations may change over time, and there may be nuances or context that the AI does not fully capture. Always double-check important information against official statutes, regulations, or professional advice. Any use of information from the Service is done at your own discretion and risk.
• "As Is" and "As Available": The Service is provided to you "as is" and "as available," without any warranty of any kind. This means we do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, or that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components. All warranties, express or implied, are disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
• No Continuous Availability: We do not guarantee that RegulationChat will always be available or operational. The Service may occasionally be inaccessible or offline for maintenance, updates, technical issues, or for reasons beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, without notice. You agree that we are not liable for any interruption or loss of access to the Service.
• No Duty to Update: While we may improve or update the AI model and data from time to time, we have no obligation to maintain or update the information on the Service. Content may become out-of-date, and we make no commitment to correct any errors or omissions. It remains your responsibility to verify the accuracy of any information obtained.

In summary, we do not guarantee that RegulationChat's content is accurate or that the Service will be available at any given moment. You should not rely on the Service as your sole source of information, especially for important decisions. Always cross-reference with official sources or consult a professional, recognizing that RegulationChat might not reflect the latest or most accurate information.

5. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall RegulationChat or its owners, developers, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any harm or damages arising out of your access to or use of (or inability to use) the Service. This limitation of liability applies to all types of damages or losses, including but not limited to:

• Direct or Indirect Damages: We will not be responsible for any direct losses or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages. This includes any harm that comes from relying on information obtained from the Service, lost profits or revenues, loss of data, business interruption, personal injury, or any other tangible or intangible losses.
• Reliance and Decision-Making: You assume full responsibility for any decisions or actions you take based on content from RegulationChat. If you suffer consequences (financial, legal, or otherwise) because you used information from the Service instead of seeking professional advice or without verifying it through official channels, we are not liable. The Service's outputs are not legal advice, and you bear all risks for using them as a basis for any action.
• Even If Advised: The above limitations apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. You acknowledge that the Service is offered for free or for a limited cost (as applicable) and that this allocation of risk is an essential part of the bargain between us.
• No Warranty = No Liability: Since the Service is provided without any warranty (as stated in Section 4), you agree that we have no obligation to compensate you for any alleged harm or loss arising from inaccuracies, unavailability, or any other aspect of the Service. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds us liable notwithstanding the above, you agree that our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to your use of the Service will not exceed the amount (if any) you have paid to use the Service or US $100, whichever is less. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not fully apply to you. However, in such cases, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law.

6. Termination of Service

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to RegulationChat at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice. This means we can deactivate your account or prevent you from using the Service if, for example, we believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or even if we decide to discontinue the Service entirely. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

If you wish to stop using RegulationChat, you may simply discontinue use. If you have an account or any form of registration with the Service and you wish to terminate it or request deletion of your data, you may contact us at jamesbuckijr@gmail.com for assistance. We will handle termination requests and account deletions in accordance with our policies and applicable law.

Upon termination (by you or by us), the following will apply:

• Immediate Cessation: Your right to access and use the Service will end immediately. You must cease all use of the Service and refrain from any further access.
• Surviving Provisions: All disclaimers, limitations of liability, and no-legal-advice provisions in these Terms will continue in effect even after your access is terminated. Any provision of these Terms that by its nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property rights, disclaimers, indemnity, and governing law) will remain enforceable.
• No Access to Outputs: After termination, you may no longer have access to any data, content, or outputs you stored or obtained via the Service. We encourage you to save any important results or information separately if you might need them later, before terminating or if you anticipate loss of access. We are not responsible for providing you with copies of your usage data or outputs post-termination.

Termination of your access or account is in our sole discretion. If your access is terminated and you believe it was in error, you can contact us at the email above, but we make no guarantee that access will be restored. Remember that using the Service is a privilege, not a right, and that privilege can be revoked if these Terms are not respected.

7. Changes to Terms

We may update or revise these Terms of Service from time to time. RegulationChat reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time by posting the updated version on our website. Changes to the Terms are effective immediately upon posting (unless a later effective date is specified). The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document (if provided) indicates when the latest changes were made. It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically for any updates.

If you continue to use the Service after changes to these Terms are posted, that will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you must stop using RegulationChat. We may, at our discretion, also notify you of material changes via email or a notice on the site, but are not required to do so. Always ensure you are familiar with the current Terms before using the Service.

By using RegulationChat, you acknowledge and agree that the posting of new Terms on the website, with an updated effective date, is sufficient notice of modifications. Please review these Terms regularly to ensure you understand the conditions that apply to your use of the Service.

8. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to the Service (including your use of it or any information it provides) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. We are based in Pennsylvania, and we have selected Pennsylvania law to govern our relationship with you.

By using the Service, you consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania for the resolution of any disputes arising under these Terms or related to the Service. You agree that Pennsylvania is the appropriate venue for any legal proceedings, and you waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue on grounds of inconvenience or any other basis.

Governing law means that if there is any question about how to interpret or enforce these Terms, Pennsylvania law will be used to resolve that question. If you are accessing the Service from outside Pennsylvania, be aware that you are still responsible for complying with local laws, but these Terms and our legal relationship will be interpreted under Pennsylvania law.
