Welcome to LumberFlow! These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding legal agreement between you or the entity you represent (“Customer,” “you”) and LumberFlow LLC (“LumberFlow,” “we,” “us”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the LumberFlow Co-Pilot software, AI-driven tools, analytics features, communications automations, and all related websites, features, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

The Service uses artificial intelligence, machine learning models, email integrations, and automated document parsing to extract and display data from communications and uploaded content.


2. IMPORTANT — AI, AUTOMATION & DATA ACCURACY DISCLAIMERS

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • purchase decisions

  • pricing negotiations

  • supplier selection or rejection

  • risk assessments
