**No ongoing support:** Unless you purchase a separate written support agreement, we do not provide support after acceptance.
## 5. Customer responsibilities

## 6. Risk acknowledgment and release

You further acknowledge that using Third-party Services (including AWS, Telegram, and AI inference providers) introduces additional security, privacy, and availability risks.
You acknowledge that heavy or continuous OpenClaw usage can generate significant AI token consumption, rate-limit events, and substantial third-party charges. You are solely responsible for monitoring and controlling usage, budgets, and billing alerts with your AI provider and AWS.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- You accept all risks associated with your use of the Product, OpenClaw, any installed skills, and all Third-party Services.

- If you or an AI Agent installs or enables any skills/plugins, additional software, or integrations, you assume all resulting risk and responsibility, including security regressions and data exposure.
- OpenClaw may integrate with multiple communication providers (for example Telegram, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp), but EasyStart setup instructions and install warranty are provided for Telegram configuration only.
- You are solely responsible for installing Telegram on your devices and creating/managing your Telegram account.
