2. Description of Service

FENS Protocol provides a mathematically provable optimization framework that:

Generates optimal solutions for bounded state spaces
Validates solutions through Six Pillars (Σ, Φ, η, ℵ, Ω, G)
Implements True AGI with self-learning, self-healing, and self-improving capabilities
Offers domain-agnostic problem solving across multiple industries
Provides protocol generation, execution, and visualization tools

The Service is provided on an "as-is" basis for research, educational, and commercial evaluation purposes.

3. Use License

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free

Loss of data
Business interruption
Loss of goodwill
System failures or damages

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, etc.) and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Accuracy of Results

While FENS Protocol employs mathematical proof of optimality within bounded state spaces, users must:

Validate Results: Independently verify all generated protocols before deployment
Safety-Critical Systems: Obtain appropriate certifications and approvals for safety-critical applications (nuclear, aerospace, medical, etc.)
Domain Expertise: Apply appropriate domain knowledge and engineering judgment
Testing: Conduct thorough testing in controlled environments
Compliance: Ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and standards

Best Practice: Use FENS Protocol as a powerful optimization tool, but always combine it with human expertise and rigorous validation processes.
