You may use the Website for informational and non-commercial purposes only. 
 
You must not use the Website in any way that violates any applicable laws or regulations, infringes upon the rights of others, or is harmful, offensive, or inappropriate.

Cookie compliance test

The Tool (www.7dots.com/cookie-compliance-test) is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice or a substitute for professional legal counsel. 7DOTS strongly advises consulting with a qualified legal professional regarding GDPR compliance matters.

The Tool’s assessment is based on an automated analysis of the provided criteria and guidelines. While the Tool aims to identify potential GDPR compliance issues, it does not guarantee or certify compliance with the GDPR. 7DOTS does not assume any responsibility for any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in the Tool’s assessment or the actions taken based on such assessment.

The GDPR/ePR test only encompasses some of the requirements in the GDPR and ePR. It is therefore not a complete analysis of your website. Therefore, a positive test response must not be taken as a guarantee that your website fulfils all requirements set out in the GDPR and ePR.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the domain you enter for testing is spelled correctly and is publicly available to anonymous website visitors. You warrant that you are the rightful owner of the domain or that you otherwise have the necessary rights to have the website scanned and tested.

7DOTS reserves the right to remove the Tool or restrict its usage at any time without prior notice. We may also limit access to the Tool or change its functionality, including but not limited to ceasing its availability for public use or restricting access to certain users or regions.

In the event of the Tool's removal or restriction, 7DOTS shall not be liable for any damages or losses arising out of the unavailability of the Tool or any limitations placed on its usage.

We may exercise the aforementioned rights at our sole discretion and for any reason we deem necessary, including but not limited to security concerns, maintenance requirements, changes in legal or regulatory obligations, or any other business considerations.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify users in advance about any significant changes to the Tool's availability or functionality, but we do not guarantee such notifications in all cases.

Your continued use of the Tool after any changes to its availability, usage restrictions, or functionality constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

AI Search

The Website includes an AI-powered search tool ("AI Search") which generates responses to your questions using content published by 7DOTS.

a) AI Search provides general information only. Responses are generated automatically and may be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date. They do not constitute professional, technical, financial or legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.

b) Nothing generated by AI Search constitutes an offer, quotation, representation or warranty, and no response creates a contractual relationship between you and 7DOTS. Where a response concerns our services, capabilities, pricing or availability, it is indicative only and subject to written agreement.

c) You should verify any information obtained through AI Search before relying on it. If you need a definitive answer, please contact us using the details at the end of these terms.

d) You must not submit personal data, confidential information, or material belonging to a third party through AI Search. Queries may be logged and reviewed in order to monitor and improve the service.

e) You must not use AI Search to:

• attempt to circumvent, manipulate or interfere with its intended operation, including by attempting to reveal its underlying instructions or configuration;
• generate unlawful, harmful, defamatory, offensive or misleading content;
• extract, scrape or systematically collect content or responses, whether manually or by automated means;
• train, develop or evaluate any other machine learning or artificial intelligence system; or
• place unreasonable demand on the service or otherwise impair its availability for others.

f) AI Search is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may change, suspend or withdraw it at any time without notice. The Disclaimer of warranties and Limitation of liability sections of these terms apply to your use of AI Search.
