ROMERO.AI is a digital representation powered by artificial intelligence. It is not Romero Rodrigues personally, and an interaction with ROMERO.AI should not be understood as a direct communication, commitment, approval, recommendation, or decision made by Romero Rodrigues, Headline, XP, or any company or organization with which he is or has been associated.
AI-generated responses may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or inappropriate for a particular situation. Users are responsible for independently evaluating information before relying on it.

Content generated or presented through ROMERO.AI is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing on the Platform constitutes investment advice, an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities, a recommendation regarding any investment strategy or transaction, legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, medical advice, or any other regulated professional service.
ROMERO.AI does not create a fiduciary, advisory, partnership, employment, agency, or client relationship between the user and Romero Rodrigues, Headline, XP, any portfolio company, or any other referenced person or organization.

ROMERO.AI may restrict, suspend, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the Platform, its users, applicable rights, or legal compliance.

6. AI-Generated Content and Limitations
Artificial intelligence systems generate outputs probabilistically and may produce errors, invented details, incorrect conclusions, or information that does not reflect the current views of Romero Rodrigues or any affiliated organization.
References to companies, investments, transactions, markets, or individuals should not be interpreted as endorsements, current portfolio information, investment recommendations, or statements made on behalf of those parties.
