2. Service Integrity & Human-Only Use

To ensure the quality and sustainability of our platform for all users, Sociant is designed exclusively for human interaction. You are prohibited from accessing or using the Services through any automated or non-human means—including but not limited to bots, scripts, spiders, crawlers, or automated API requests—unless explicitly authorized by us in writing. Any attempt to automate interactions with your Assistant, bypass technical rate limits, or leverage our services via external scripts is a material breach of this policy and will result in immediate termination of access.

3. High-Risk Use Cases

Sociant Assistants are not designed for high-stakes decision-making. Using our services for the following purposes requires extreme caution and human-in-the-loop verification:

  • Legal Advice: Do not rely on Assistants for legal interpretation or binding advice.
  • Medical Diagnosis: Assistants are not doctors. Do not use them for medical diagnosis or treatment recommendations.
  • Financial Decisions: Do not use Assistants as your sole source for investment advice or creditworthiness assessments.
  • Governmental Decisions: Do not use for automated decision-making in immigration, criminal justice, or essential public services.

4. Enforcement

We monitor for violations of this policy. If we detect a violation, we may:

  • Issue a warning.
  • Temporarily throttle or restrict your account.
  • Permanently suspend or terminate your access.
  • Report illegal activities to relevant law enforcement authorities.
