3. Information Relay Disclaimer

WIRE IS AN INFORMATION RELAY SERVICE. WE AGGREGATE, SUMMARIZE, AND DELIVER NEWS AND REGULATORY INFORMATION FROM PUBLIC AND THIRD-PARTY SOURCES. WE ARE NOT A LAW FIRM, COMPLIANCE CONSULTANCY, REGULATORY AGENCY, OR LEGAL ADVISOR.

The content provided through Wire — including news articles, pro tips, regulatory summaries, alerts, and AI-generated analysis — is for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute and should not be relied upon as legal advice, regulatory guidance, compliance consulting, or professional advice of any kind.

Wire makes reasonable efforts to relay accurate information, but we do not guarantee and cannot be held responsible for the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, or applicability of any content. Regulatory information changes frequently. Laws and regulations vary by federal, state, county, and municipal jurisdiction. Information that is accurate for one location may be incorrect or incomplete for another.

You are solely responsible for verifying all information obtained through Wire with qualified legal counsel, compliance professionals, or the relevant government agencies before making any business decisions or taking any action based on such information.

Wire shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the content we relay, nor for any actions taken or decisions made based on information obtained through the service. This includes but is not limited to: regulatory fines, penalties, lawsuits, labor violations, health code violations, licensing issues, or any other consequences arising from reliance on Wire content.

4. Wire AI Disclaimer

WIRE AI IS AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL THAT GENERATES SUMMARIES, ANALYSIS, AND RESPONSES USING AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY. AI-GENERATED CONTENT MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OR OUTDATED INFORMATION.

Wire uses AI (powered by third-party large language models) to summarize articles, analyze regulatory changes, categorize news, and provide contextual information. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content is produced by automated systems and is not reviewed, verified, or endorsed by legal or compliance professionals
• AI may produce incorrect, incomplete, misleading, or fabricated information (commonly known as "hallucinations")
• AI-generated summaries may omit critical details, nuances, or exceptions present in the original source material
• AI does not have knowledge of your specific business circumstances, jurisdiction, or compliance history
• AI-generated content should never be used as a substitute for reading original source documents, consulting qualified professionals, or conducting your own independent research

You use Wire AI at your own risk. We strongly recommend verifying any AI-generated information against original sources and consulting with qualified professionals before acting on it.
