5. AI Receptionist Limitations

NEXA AI Receptionist uses artificial intelligence and automation. While the service is designed to be useful and reliable, AI-generated responses may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, misunderstood, or inappropriate in some situations.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• the AI receptionist is not a human receptionist;
• the service may misunderstand callers, accents, background noise, ambiguous requests, or incomplete information;

• you remain responsible for reviewing leads, bookings, messages, transcripts, alerts, and customer communications;
• you must configure the service appropriately for your business, industry, availability, escalation rules, and risk tolerance.

You should not rely on the service as the sole method for handling emergencies, urgent safety matters, medical emergencies, legal deadlines, financial commitments, or other high-risk communications.

6. Customer Configuration Responsibilities

You are responsible for the setup and configuration of your AI receptionist, including:

• business name, service areas, operating hours, and contact details;

• appointment rules and calendar availability;
• pricing, quoting, and payment instructions if applicable;
• emergency and escalation rules;
• call transfer numbers and notification recipients;
• scripts, prompts, FAQs, and business-specific instructions;
• compliance wording, disclaimers, and caller notices.

We are not responsible for errors or losses caused by inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or misleading configuration information supplied by you.

7. Call Recording, Transcription, and Caller Notices

The service may record, transcribe, analyse, process, or store call audio and call-related data so that it can answer calls, generate summaries, qualify leads, improve service quality, and provide records to you.

You are responsible for ensuring that callers receive any legally required notices or consents before or during calls, including where calls are recorded, transcribed, analysed, or processed by AI systems.

You must not use the service in a way that breaches privacy, surveillance, telecommunications, consumer protection, spam, or other applicable laws.

This wording is a starting point only. You should obtain legal advice to ensure your notice is appropriate for your business, location, and use case.

8. Appointments and Bookings

If you enable calendar or booking features, the service may create, modify, cancel, or suggest appointments based on your configuration and connected calendar availability.

You are responsible for:

• maintaining accurate calendar availability;
• confirming appointment details where necessary;
• handling double bookings, cancellations, delays, and rescheduling;
• honouring commitments made to your customers, unless corrected promptly;
• monitoring bookings generated by the service.

We do not guarantee that every booking will be accurate, suitable, or free from conflict.

9. Notifications and Escalations

The service may send notifications by email, SMS, dashboard, webhook, calendar event, CRM entry, or other configured channels.

We do not guarantee that every notification, alert, or escalation will be delivered instantly, successfully, or at all. Delivery may depend on third-party providers, network availability, device settings, email filtering, SMS carrier issues, and your own configuration.

You remain responsible for monitoring your business communications and responding to customers appropriately.
