Terms and Conditions

Last updated: April 2026

These terms govern your use of the AI Fluent website and your engagement with AI Fluent consulting services, operated by Florian Ortner in Dubai, UAE. By using this website, booking a discovery call, or signing a statement of work, you agree to these terms.

1. Scope of Services

AI Fluent builds and maintains private AI intelligence systems (Company Brains) for corporate clients. A typical engagement includes:

  • Setup: Designing and building a private vault, ingesting the founding document set, and making the Company Brain usable by your leadership team.
  • Monthly maintenance: Ingesting new documents, running health checks, expanding coverage, and producing board-ready outputs on request.
  • Quarterly leadership reviews: Demonstrating value, surfacing new use cases, and tuning the system.

2. Engagement and Contracts

All consulting work is governed by a written statement of work (SoW) or engagement letter signed by both parties before work begins. The SoW takes precedence over these general terms in case of any conflict. No engagement is confirmed by informal agreement or email alone.

3. Scope Changes During an Engagement

Changes to the scope of work during an engagement (additional document sources, new use cases, expanded teams) may be handled through a written addendum to the SoW. Minor adjustments within the spirit of the original engagement are absorbed without additional fees; material expansions are quoted separately.

4. Pricing and Payment

Pricing is not published on this site. It depends on the scope of the engagement and is quoted individually. Typical structure:

  • Setup fee: Invoiced at the start of the engagement.
  • Monthly retainer: Invoiced at the start of each month of maintenance.

Invoices are in AED unless agreed otherwise in the SoW. Payment terms are specified per invoice, typically 14 days. Late payment may result in a pause in services until accounts are settled.

5. Cancellation, Pause, and Termination

Either party may terminate a monthly retainer with 30 days written notice, unless the SoW specifies otherwise. Fees already invoiced for work in progress are not refundable. Pro-rated refunds may be offered at my discretion for unused portions of prepaid retainers. On termination:

  • I stop all work and revoke my own access to the client vault.
  • The Company Brain and all ingested data remain the property and responsibility of the client.
  • Confidentiality obligations continue beyond the end of the engagement, as set out in any signed NDA or in the SoW.

6. Ownership of Data and Deliverables

  • Your data stays yours. All documents, knowledge, and records you provide remain your property. I acquire no rights over client data.
  • The Company Brain vault is yours. The private vault and its contents belong to your company. I maintain operational access only for as long as you authorise it.
  • My methodology stays mine. The frameworks, prompts, templates, and approaches I use to build Company Brains are my intellectual property. You receive a licence to use any deliverables I hand over within your own business, but not to resell, repackage, offer them as a service to third parties, or use them to build competing products or services.

7. Confidentiality

I treat everything shared during an engagement as strictly confidential. A mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is signed at the start of every engagement unless the client prefers to rely on the confidentiality clauses inside the SoW itself. These obligations survive termination of the engagement.

8. Limitation of Liability

A Company Brain is a decision-support tool. It surfaces information, synthesises documents, and accelerates analysis. It does not replace professional judgement, legal advice, financial advice, or medical advice. Outputs should be reviewed by qualified humans before being acted on.

To the maximum extent permitted by UAE law, my total liability for any claim arising from the services is limited to the fees paid for the engagement in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, unless otherwise agreed in the SoW. I am not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including lost profits or lost business opportunities.

9. Website Use

This website is provided as an informational resource. I make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate, but I do not guarantee that everything on the site is complete or up to date. I am not liable for any losses arising from reliance on website content alone. The actual terms of any engagement are those set out in the signed SoW.

10. Third-Party Tools and Infrastructure

Building a Company Brain involves third-party tools (for example, large language model APIs, cloud storage, vector databases, and scheduling tools like Calendly). I am not responsible for the availability, pricing, policies, or changes of these third-party services. Where a specific tool is selected for your vault, the relevant provider's terms apply alongside these terms.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms, the website, or a consulting engagement falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Dubai.

12. Contact

13. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version. For active engagements, the terms in the signed SoW continue to apply until that engagement ends. Updates to these general terms apply only to new engagements or new SoWs signed after the update.
