3. AbleVu Is an Information Platform

4. No Certification or Legal Compliance Guarantee

5. AbleBot and AI Features

AbleVu may offer AI-powered tools, including AbleBot, to help users search for, understand, and interact with accessibility information.

AbleBot may use information from AbleVu profiles, public sources, business submissions, contributor submissions, user preferences, or other available data to provide responses.

AbleBot is designed to be helpful, but AI-generated responses may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or not appropriate for every situation.

You agree that:

• AbleBot is not a substitute for professional advice.
• AbleBot should not be used for emergencies.
• AbleBot should not be relied on as the only source for critical access, safety, medical, legal, travel, or transportation decisions.
• You are responsible for confirming important details directly with the relevant business, venue, destination, or service provider.
• You should not submit confidential, emergency, financial, medical record, government identification, or highly sensitive information into AbleBot.

AbleVu may monitor, review, store, or use AbleBot interactions to operate, improve, test, and protect the service, subject to our Privacy Policy.

6. Accessibility Information and Data Accuracy

AbleVu works to provide clear, practical accessibility information. Information may come from:

• Businesses or location owners
• Contributors
• Users
• Destination partners
• Publicly available sources
• Third-party tools or services
• AbleVu team members
• AI-assisted data processing
• Updates submitted through AbleVu tools

Although we work to review and improve information, AbleVu does not guarantee that all information is complete, current, accurate, or suitable for your specific needs.

Accessibility details may change because of renovations, staffing, weather, events, temporary closures, construction, policy changes, ownership changes, equipment issues, or other circumstances outside AbleVu’s control.

Businesses and partners are responsible for keeping their own information accurate and updated.

7. User Profiles and Personal Preferences

8. Business Profiles and Location Listings

Businesses, venues, attractions, hotels, restaurants, destinations, events, public spaces, and other organizations may have profiles or listings on AbleVu.

• The information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

• Your submitted content does not violate another person’s rights.

AbleVu may review, edit, reject, remove, label, or update business profile information at its discretion.

• Participation does not create an employment relationship unless a separate written agreement expressly says it does.
