AI-Powered Matching and Recommendations
You acknowledge that the Service uses AI-powered systems to recommend fractional leaders for roles.
While we test and evaluate outputs to reduce bias, we do not guarantee that recommendations will be free from errors, bias, or unintended outcomes, including impacts on individuals or groups (including those in legally protected classes).

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent.
