These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by Salim Zakkour trading as OpsBots (ABN 22 838 356 145) ("OpsBots", "we", "us", "our").
By accessing or using our services, you ("Client", "you", "your") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation.
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any Service Agreement executed between OpsBots and the Client.
2. Service Description
OpsBots provides AI-powered IT support automation services designed for Australian Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Our services include:
- AI ticket classification and triage: Automated categorisation, prioritisation, and routing of IT support tickets
- L1 ticket resolution: AI-driven resolution of routine support requests (e.g., password resets, account provisioning, VPN diagnostics)
- After-hours monitoring: 24/7 AI coverage for alert monitoring, ticket acknowledgment, and initial diagnostics
- Knowledge base generation: Automated creation and maintenance of documentation from resolved tickets
- Reporting and analytics: Service performance dashboards and SLA monitoring
Services are delivered via integration with the Client's existing Professional Services Automation (PSA) platform (ConnectWise Manage, Datto Autotask, or HaloPSA) and other IT infrastructure tools.
3. AI-Specific Terms and Limitations
3.1 Nature of AI Outputs
Our services use artificial intelligence, including large language models (specifically Anthropic's Claude), to process and respond to IT support requests. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI outputs are suggestions, not guarantees. All AI-generated classifications, responses, recommendations, and actions are provided on a best-efforts basis and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions.
- AI outputs do not constitute professional advice. AI-generated content should not be treated as a substitute for qualified professional judgment, including IT engineering expertise.
- AI systems have inherent limitations. AI models may produce incorrect, incomplete, or inappropriate outputs. OpsBots does not warrant that AI outputs will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose beyond general IT support assistance.
- Human oversight remains essential. The Client is responsible for maintaining appropriate human oversight of AI-generated outputs, particularly during shadow mode and when AI operates in autonomous mode.
3.2 AI Liability Limitations
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- OpsBots is not liable for any loss, damage, or expense arising from reliance on AI-generated outputs without appropriate human review.
- OpsBots is not liable for any incorrect AI classification, recommendation, or action where the Client has not implemented reasonable review procedures.
- OpsBots's total aggregate liability for claims arising from AI-generated outputs is limited to the fees paid by the Client in the 3-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) or any other applicable law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement. See Section 12 for further details.
3.3 Error Reporting and Correction
OpsBots is committed to the continuous improvement of our AI systems. If an AI-generated output is incorrect or causes an issue:
- Report the error: Contact support@opsbots.com.au with details of the AI output, the expected outcome, and any impact on your operations. Include the ticket reference number where available.
- Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge error reports within 1 business day.
- Investigation: We will investigate the reported error and provide a written response within 5 business days, including:
- Confirmation of whether the AI output was incorrect
- Root cause analysis (where identifiable)
- Remediation steps taken or planned
- Correction: Where an AI error has caused a material impact on the Client's operations, OpsBots will work with the Client to remediate the issue promptly, which may include:
- Manual correction of affected tickets or records
- Adjustment of AI system parameters to prevent recurrence
- Service credits at OpsBots's discretion for significant disruptions
- Trend monitoring: OpsBots maintains internal records of reported AI errors to identify patterns and improve system accuracy over time.
4. Client Obligations
The Client agrees to:
- Provide accurate and complete information required for service configuration and integration
- Maintain the security of API keys, credentials, and account access provided by OpsBots
- Ensure appropriate end-user notifications and consents are in place before activating AI-powered services (as described in our Privacy Policy)
- Maintain human oversight procedures appropriate to the level of AI automation deployed
- Report suspected AI errors or service issues promptly

- Not use the services for any unlawful purpose or in a manner that could damage, disable, or impair OpsBots's systems
5. Data Handling and Retention
5.1 Data Processing
OpsBots processes Client data solely for the purpose of delivering the contracted services. Our data handling practices are described in detail in our Privacy Policy. Key principles include:
- Data minimisation: We access only the data necessary to provide the contracted services via API integration. We do not perform bulk data exports.
- Data isolation: Client data is strictly separated. No data is shared between Clients.
- No model training: Client data is not used to train AI models. AI processing via the Anthropic Claude API is transient and not retained by the AI provider.
5.2 Data Residency
All persistent Client data is stored on Australian infrastructure (self-hosted systems located in New South Wales). When ticket data is processed by AI, content is transiently transmitted to Anthropic's infrastructure in the United States under enterprise terms. See our Privacy Policy Section 8 for full details.
5.3 Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
| Active service data (tickets, configurations) | Duration of the service agreement |
| Processed ticket content (AI outputs) | Transient — not retained after processing |
| Audit logs | 12 months from creation |
| Billing and financial records | 7 years (as required by Australian tax law) |
| Client data post-termination | Deleted within 30 days of contract termination, unless legally required to retain |
5.4 Data Export
Upon request during the term or within 30 days of termination, OpsBots will provide the Client with an export of their data in a commonly used, machine-readable format (CSV or JSON).
6. Fees and Payment
- Fees are as set out in the applicable Service Agreement or pricing schedule.
- All fees are quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are exclusive of GST unless stated otherwise.
- Invoices are issued monthly in advance and payable within 14 days of the invoice date.
- OpsBots reserves the right to adjust fees with 30 days' written notice. Fee adjustments will not apply to the current billing period.
- Overdue payments may incur interest at the rate of 2% per month on the outstanding balance, calculated daily.
- OpsBots may suspend services if payment is overdue by more than 30 days, after providing written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the default.
7. Service Levels
OpsBots will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain service availability. Specific service level commitments, where applicable, will be set out in the Service Agreement.
OpsBots does not guarantee uninterrupted service. Planned maintenance windows will be communicated with at least 48 hours' notice. Emergency maintenance to address security or stability issues may be performed with shorter notice.
8. Intellectual Property
- OpsBots IP: All intellectual property in OpsBots's software, systems, AI models, processes, and documentation remains the property of OpsBots. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of OpsBots's intellectual property to the Client.
- Client IP: The Client retains all rights in its own data, branding, and pre-existing intellectual property. OpsBots does not claim ownership of Client data.
- AI-generated content: AI-generated outputs (e.g., ticket responses, knowledge base articles) created using the Client's data are licensed to the Client for their internal business use. OpsBots retains the right to use anonymised, aggregated insights to improve its services.
9. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information received from the other party in connection with these Terms ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information does not include information that:
- Is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party
- Was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure
- Is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Information
- Is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order (with prompt notice to the disclosing party where permitted)
Confidentiality obligations survive termination of these Terms for a period of 3 years.

Either party may terminate the service agreement by providing 30 days' written notice to the other party.
10.2 Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate immediately by written notice if the other party:

- Becomes insolvent, enters administration, or is subject to a winding-up order
- Is unable to perform its obligations for a continuous period exceeding 30 days due to force majeure
10.3 Effect of Termination

- OpsBots will provide a data export upon request (see Section 5.4)
