Terms of use
These terms apply to anyone using this website and set out the general terms of our services. The specific terms of each engagement are in the accepted proposal.
1. Who we are
Akantos Technology is the trade name of Wagner Farias, an independent professional (sole individual), based in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Contact: contato@akantos.com.br.
2. Using the website
You may browse, read the content, take the assessment and request a call freely. You may not: try to break into or overload the website; access the restricted area without authorisation; copy the website in bulk by automated means; or submit false information or someone else's details without permission.
3. Nature of the information
- Prices shown on the website are reference prices (“from”). The final price, scope and timeline only apply once they appear in an accepted proposal.
- Prices in English and Spanish are converted from Brazilian reais at the day's exchange rate plus a currency margin, so they may vary. Taxes and fees in the client's country are not included unless stated in the proposal.
- The AI assessment is an automatic, informational estimate based on your answers. It is not an audit or a guarantee of results.
- Content about data protection, AI governance and regulation is technical. It is not legal advice and does not replace advice from a lawyer.
- Examples and estimated gains (such as hours freed up or contacts handled) depend on each business and are not a promise of results.
4. Hiring our services
Services are hired through a proposal sent by link and accepted electronically. The proposal sets out the scope, prices, timelines and terms, and prevails over these terms where it is more specific.
We do not guarantee specific business results, such as sales or bookings. AI solutions can produce inaccurate answers; we therefore set up rules, limits and human review, and decisions affecting customers, patients or citizens remain with the client.
5. Cancellations and refunds
Withdrawal, cancellation and refund rules are set out in our cancellation and refund policy: https://www.akantos.com.br/en/reembolso
