3. Chatbot Virtual Assistant
The Website may include an interactive chatbot or virtual assistant designed to provide you with information about Inetum and its services. By using the chatbot, you understand and agree to the following specific terms:
- Purpose: The chatbot is provided for your convenience to answer common questions and guide you to relevant information on our site. It uses automated processes to generate responses based on your input. AI Virtual Assistant Responses are for information purposes only and do not constitute professional advice, nor do they create any contractual agreement or legal obligation for Inetum.
- User Conduct with Chatbot: When interacting with the chatbot, you agree to be respectful and lawful. You must not input any unlawful, harmful, or abusive content. In particular, you should not use the AI Assistant to transmit any content that is defamatory, obscene, threatening, or that violates any third-party rights or applicable laws. You also agree not to deliberately trick or manipulate the AI Assistant into providing disallowed or sensitive information.
- No Sensitive Personal Data: We advise you not to submit any sensitive personal information (e.g. health details, payment card numbers, passwords) via the AI Assistant. While Inetum strives to protect all user data, the AI Assistant is intended for general informational queries, not for exchanging confidential data. Any personal data you do provide via the AI Assistant will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy (see Section 5 below).
- Quality of Information: Inetum aims to keep the chatbot’s knowledge base accurate and up-to-date. However, due to the nature of automated responses, the AI Assistant might occasionally produce incorrect or outdated information. Inetum does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the AI Assistant’s responses. If you need verified, official information, please consider contacting Inetum through official channels (e.g., the contact form) rather than relying solely on the chatbot.
- Liability for AI Assistant Use: Inetum shall not be liable for any actions you take or refrain from taking based on the information provided by the AI Assistant, except as stated in Section 7 (Guarantee and Liability) below. In particular, Inetum is not responsible for any misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the AI Assistant’s responses. If you encounter any response from the AI Assistant that appears to be inappropriate, irrelevant, or raises concerns, you can notify us via the contact form provided in Section 1 so we can improve the tool.
By interacting with the AI Assistant, you acknowledge these conditions. Inetum may record AI Assistant conversations for the purposes of improving the service and user experience. For more details on how we process data from the AI Assistant, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

6. Hyperlinks and Third-Party Content
6.1 Outbound Links: The Website may contain hyperlinks or references to external third-party websites or resources. These links are provided for informational purposes and convenience of the user, and do not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Inetum of the third-party sites, their content, or their owners. Inetum has no control over the content or resources of linked external websites. Therefore:
- Inetum does not guarantee the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, or completeness of information on external websites.
- Inetum assumes no responsibility or liability for any content, advertising, products, services, or other materials available on or through any third-party sites or resources, which remain the sole responsibility of the respective third-party operators.

To request permission, please contact us at the contact form provided in Section 1 with details of the URL of your website and the contemplated linking arrangement. Inetum reserves the right to refuse permission or to revoke any consent to link to the Website at any time if a link is found to be unacceptable due to the context in which it is used or for any other reason.
Even if Inetum grants you permission to create a link: (a) it does not mean that Inetum endorses you, your website, or your services; (b) you may not present the link to the Website in a manner that suggests any form of association, approval, or sponsorship on the part of Inetum without our express written consent; and (c) you must remove any link to our Website immediately upon our request.
6.3 Third-Party Content Integration: The Website might incorporate content provided by third parties (for example, a news feed, social media plugins, or videos hosted on external platforms). Inetum is not responsible for such third-party content and provides it “as is” for your convenience. The providers of such content are solely responsible for ensuring it is lawful and accurate. If you have concerns about any third-party content on our Website, please inform us and we will consider appropriate action (including removal of content if warranted).
7. Guarantee and Liability
7.1 Information Provided “As-Is”: Inetum endeavors to keep the Website information accurate, up-to-date, and reliable. However, all information and materials on this Website are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Inetum makes no express or implied warranties or representations regarding the content or availability of the Website. Specifically, Inetum does not guarantee that:
- The information on the Website is exhaustive, error-free, or up-to-date in all circumstances. While we strive to correct any errors or omissions that are brought to our attention, Inetum cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of all content at all times.

- Product and Service Descriptions: The descriptions of products or services that Inetum provides (or may provide) are for informational purposes. They do not themselves create an agreement or an offer to contract. Any actual provision of services by Inetum would be subject to separate terms and negotiated contracts.
- Financial Information: Any financial data (such as press releases on revenue, forecasts, or results) is provided as a courtesy for stakeholders and should not be solely relied upon for investment or other financial decisions. Forward-looking statements, if any, reflect our expectations at the time of publication and may change. Inetum is not obligated to update or correct forward-looking information in the absence of a legal requirement to do so.
7.3 Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Inetum shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or any other damages whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use this Website or its content. This exclusion of liability applies, without limitation, to any damages or losses including:

These exclusions apply regardless of the legal theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if Inetum has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7.4 No Liability for User Conduct: You are solely responsible for any consequences arising from your breach of these Terms and Conditions. Inetum cannot be held liable for any misuse of the Website by a user or for content that you or any other user may transmit or upload to the Website (if such functionality exists, e.g., via forms or the chatbot). However, if Inetum is informed of a user’s violation of these Terms or any illegal content or usage, Inetum reserves the right to take appropriate action (as described in Section 2.4), including removing content, terminating accounts or access, and possibly reporting the matter to relevant authorities.
