Katharos Technologies Inc.

Last Updated: March 6, 2026

Important Notice

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the Katharos platform ("Service"). By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this disclaimer.

Not Legal Advice

THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.

Katharos is a compliance screening and research tool. Nothing in the Service—including screening results, risk assessments, AI-generated analysis, reports, or any other output—constitutes legal advice, a legal opinion, or a recommendation to take or refrain from taking any action.

The Service is designed to assist compliance professionals, attorneys, and investigators in their work. It is not a substitute for the judgment of qualified professionals or legal counsel.

You should consult with qualified legal counsel before making compliance decisions, filing regulatory reports, or taking action based on information obtained through the Service.

No Guarantee of Accuracy

SCREENING RESULTS AND AI OUTPUTS MAY CONTAIN ERRORS.

The Service aggregates data from third-party sources and uses artificial intelligence to analyze information. We do not guarantee that:

  • Screening results are complete, accurate, or current
  • All relevant matches or risks have been identified
  • AI-generated analysis is free from errors or omissions
  • Third-party data sources are accurate or up-to-date

You are solely responsible for verifying information before relying on it.

A "no match" or "low risk" result does not guarantee that an entity is not sanctioned, a PEP, or otherwise high-risk. Data sources may be incomplete, have delays in updates, or contain errors. Always conduct additional due diligence as warranted by the circumstances.

Third-Party Data Sources

The Service queries numerous third-party data sources, including:

  • Government sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN, UK, etc.)
  • Corporate registries (SEC, Companies House, OpenCorporates, etc.)
  • News and media sources
  • Public records and databases

We do not control these sources and are not responsible for their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability.

Third-party sources may:

  • Contain errors or outdated information
  • Have delays between official updates and database availability
  • Become unavailable without notice
  • Change their data formats or coverage

Artificial Intelligence Limitations

The Service uses Claude, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, to analyze data and generate outputs.

AI-generated content has inherent limitations:

  • AI may misinterpret information or context
  • AI may "hallucinate" information that appears plausible but is incorrect
  • AI analysis reflects patterns in training data, which may contain biases
  • AI cannot replace human judgment, expertise, or legal analysis
  • AI outputs should be reviewed and verified by qualified professionals

All AI-generated analysis should be treated as a starting point for human review, not a final determination.

Regulatory and Compliance Matters

Compliance requirements vary by:

  • Jurisdiction
  • Industry
  • Entity type
  • Transaction type
  • Risk profile

The Service provides general information and screening capabilities. It does not account for your specific regulatory obligations, risk appetite, or compliance program requirements.

You are responsible for:

  • Understanding your regulatory obligations
  • Designing and implementing appropriate compliance policies
  • Making risk-based decisions appropriate to your circumstances
  • Documenting your compliance decisions and rationale
  • Filing required reports with regulators
  • Maintaining appropriate records

No Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:

  • Implied warranties of merchantability
  • Fitness for a particular purpose
  • Accuracy or reliability of results
  • Non-infringement
  • Uninterrupted or error-free operation

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KATHAROS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE.

This includes, without limitation:

  • Regulatory fines or penalties
  • Failed transactions or business opportunities
  • Reputational harm
  • Legal fees or costs
  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages

See our Terms of Service for complete liability limitations.

Your Responsibility

By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are responsible for your compliance decisions. The Service is a tool to assist you, not a substitute for your judgment.
  • You will verify information. You will not rely solely on the Service without independent verification as appropriate.
  • You will use qualified professionals. You will consult with legal counsel and compliance professionals as needed.
  • You understand the limitations. You have read and understood the limitations described in this disclaimer.
  • You accept the risks. You accept the risks inherent in using automated screening and AI-powered analysis tools.
