Tool outputs—including but not limited to VRAM and GPU memory estimates, AI fabric sizing and switch BOM recommendations, IP reputation scores and blacklist query results, DNS records, BGP routing data, traceroute hop data, TCP throughput calculations, TCO projections, power and cooling estimates, and configuration file outputs—are mathematical computations, API-derived data, or heuristic estimates that may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or results that are not applicable to your specific environment or use case. ISI makes no representation or warranty that any Tool output is accurate, current, complete, or fit for any particular purpose.
2. Reliance on outputs. Any decision, action, or omission made by you or any third party in whole or in part in reliance upon Tool outputs, including but not limited to hardware procurement decisions, network infrastructure configuration changes, security posture assessments, capacity planning decisions, software deployment configurations, or financial investment decisions, is made entirely at your own risk and sole discretion. ISI shall bear no responsibility for any consequence arising from such reliance.

4. Third-party consequences. ISI shall not be liable for any claims, proceedings, fines, penalties, restrictions, or damages imposed upon you by any third party—including system owners, network operators, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory authorities—arising from or in connection with your use or misuse of the Tools.
5. Output-based harm. ISI shall not be liable for any harm of any nature—including but not limited to network outages or disruptions, security breaches or vulnerabilities introduced, data loss or corruption, financial loss, hardware damage or misconfiguration, or regulatory non-compliance—arising from actions taken, configurations implemented, or decisions made based upon Tool outputs.

7. Third-Party Services and External Links

Several Tools operate by querying third-party APIs and data services—including but not limited to ipinfo.io, GreyNoise, OpenPhish, Google Public DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and RIPE NCC—to retrieve and display results. ISI does not control these third-party services, does not guarantee their availability, accuracy, or continuity, and does not endorse their content. The availability and accuracy of Tool results may be affected by the availability and behaviour of these third-party services.

The Site also contains links to external websites, reference documents, and third-party resources. Such links are provided for convenience only. ISI has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, accuracy, or availability of any externally linked website or resource.

Your continued access to or use of the Site or Tools after any revision to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must cease using the Site.

11. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ISI with respect to your use of the Site and Tools and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles or rules that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

You hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of competent jurisdiction located in the Province of Ontario, Canada, for the resolution of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site or Tools.
