10. Use of AI Tools

We use AI tools in the creation, delivery, and operation of our products and services:

• Claude by Anthropic is used as a development and operational tool. Claude Code (the CLI tool) is central to how we build and maintain our systems, and it is the tool we teach you to use in the course. The Anthropic Claude API also powers the AI-guided conversation in the Root Scan tool on this website.
• We use the Anthropic API under terms that include a 30-day data retention period after which inputs and outputs are deleted from Anthropic's systems.
• We have opted out of model training. Your data and our conversations with Claude are not used to train Anthropic's models.
• AssemblyAI is used for voice transcription in the Root Scan tool. When you tap the microphone, your audio is sent to AssemblyAI to be converted into text and is not stored by us. AssemblyAI does not use API audio for model training. See their privacy policy for details.
• Root Scan storage. Your Root Scan conversation, diagnosis, and results are stored in our Supabase database (EU, Frankfurt) so you can return to your scan. Anonymous scans are keyed only to a session ID with no personal identifier. Logged-in scans are linked to your account. See our privacy policy for full details and your deletion rights.
• Course content, templates, and communications may be created with AI assistance. All materials are reviewed and approved by Maaria Tiensivu.
• During Sprint and Membership sessions, AI tools may be used live as part of the build process. This is a feature of the service, not incidental.

The course teaches you to use these same tools to build your own system. You are responsible for your own AI tool subscriptions, API usage, and compliance with the terms of any tools you choose to use.

11. Limitation of Liability

The Four Languages Root System is an educational product. Results depend on your effort, circumstances, and application.

• We do not guarantee specific business outcomes, income, or results
• Our course and services are educational and informational, not professional advice (legal, medical, financial, or therapeutic)
• Our total liability for any claim related to our products is limited to the amount you paid for that product
• We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental damages

These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Tallinn, Estonia, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction require otherwise.
