- AI-generated outputs, recommendations, promotions, and automated decisions are based on machine learning models and statistical probabilities. They are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose.
- SnapMenu AI's AI Services are designed to assist — not replace — human judgment. End Customers retain sole responsibility for any business decisions made in reliance on AI-generated outputs.
