1. AI Limitations & Experimental Nature
ValoraIQ uses artificial intelligence to analyze marketplace listings and provide deal scoring recommendations. These AI features are experimental and subject to errors. Specifically:
- AI models are trained on historical data and may not reflect current market conditions
- AI predictions can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased
- AI scoring does not account for all relevant factors in valuation or authenticity
- ValoraIQ makes no warranty regarding AI accuracy or reliability
- AI-powered features may change, be disabled, or become unavailable without notice
2. Authenticity Assessment Limitations
ValoraIQ does NOT provide professional authentication services. Our authenticity indicators are AI-based estimates only:
- We are NOT qualified appraisers, gemologists, art experts, or professional authenticators
- We do NOT inspect physical items in person
- We rely on marketplace descriptions and images, which may be incomplete or misleading
- Professional authentication often requires physical inspection by certified experts
- Counterfeit detection algorithms have limitations and can produce false positives or negatives
3. Deal Score Disclaimers
The "Deal Score" provided by ValoraIQ is an AI-generated estimate based on available data. Important limitations:
- Deal Scores are NOT investment advice or financial recommendations
- Scores may not account for seller reputation, shipping costs, taxes, or your personal circumstances
- Market conditions change rapidly; scores become outdated quickly
- A high Deal Score does not guarantee profit—markets are unpredictable
- Historical performance does not indicate future results
4. Image Analysis Limitations
When using reverse image search or image-based analysis, be aware:
- Image analysis cannot definitively establish authenticity or condition
- Lighting, photo angles, and editing can distort visual assessment
- AI may misidentify items, brands, or damage states
- Counterfeit items often include sophisticated visual deception
- Professional inspection is always recommended for high-value items
5. Data Quality & Source Limitations
Our analyses depend on data quality from third-party sources:
- Marketplace listings may contain inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent information
- We do not independently verify seller claims or product descriptions
- Cross-listing detection may fail to identify duplicate listings
- Price data varies by marketplace and geography
- Historical pricing may not reflect true market value
6. Marketplace Risks Beyond ValoraIQ's Control
Even with ValoraIQ's tools, marketplace risks remain:
- Seller fraud and counterfeit schemes are common on all marketplaces
- Buyer protection policies vary by marketplace and may have limitations
- Returns and refunds are subject to seller policies, not guaranteed
- Shipping damage, loss, or theft can occur despite carrier insurance
- Authentication disputes are ultimately resolved by the marketplace, not ValoraIQ
7. No Professional Relationship
ValoraIQ and Torwood Holdings LLC do NOT:
- Provide professional appraisal, authentication, or investment advice
- Act as your agent, advisor, or representative in any transaction
- Assume fiduciary duties or professional obligations to users
- Guarantee compliance with marketplace terms or laws
- Monitor or verify individual listings for accuracy
8. Your Responsibility to Verify
Before making any purchase or investment decision, you must:
- Independently research the item, brand, and market value
- Verify authenticity through established experts or professional services if appropriate
- Review current marketplace pricing directly (not just ValoraIQ data)
- Assess seller reputation and return policies
- Understand all costs including shipping, taxes, and platform fees
- Consult professional advisors (appraisers, accountants, lawyers) if needed
9. No Liability for AI Errors or Omissions
ValoraIQ and Torwood Holdings LLC are NOT liable for:
- Inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete AI assessments
- Undetected counterfeit or fraudulent items
- Incorrect deal scores or valuation estimates
- Losses resulting from reliance on AI predictions

10. Evolving AI Technology
ValoraIQ's AI capabilities will evolve:
