Accuracy
While we strive for accuracy, we can't guarantee the absolute correctness of socra’s responses. Always cross-reference and perform human review when necessary.
Similarity of Output
Sometimes, similar inputs may lead to similar outputs. This is a natural result of how AI processes information.

The recommendations, resources, or references provided are based on socra's analysis of the input and are intended to offer helpful information to users. However, socra does not have control over the content or actions of these third parties.

9. Arbitration
For any dispute with socra, you agree to first contact us at team@socra.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.

All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitration may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.
