Legal Disclaimer
Last Updated: June 3, 2026. Review our terms regarding AI model classification accuracy and scientific limits.
1. Accuracy of AI Classification
The classifications and ecological context provided by Bird Sound Identifier are generated automatically through machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence integrations (specifically the Google Gemini API and Hugging Face bioacoustic models). Although we endeavor to present accurate classifications based on acoustic signals, **no computer model can guarantee 100% accuracy**.
Background noises, microphone distortion, wind, and overlapping animal calls can result in false positives or incorrect species identifications. Users must treat all results as guidance or estimates and double-check classifications against verified field guides or scientific literature.
2. Not Scientific or Legal Advice
The content, species threat ratings, conservation status widgets, and diet descriptions displayed by Bird Sound Identifier do not constitute official academic, ecological, or legal advice. If you require verified ecological statements for formal environmental impact assessments, land development reviews, or professional scientific research, please engage credentialed bioacoustic experts or government environmental bodies.
3. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall Bird Sound Identifier, its founders, or contributors be held liable for any damages, biological survey errors, scientific data discrepancies, project delays, or financial losses resulting from the use or inability to use this software utility.
4. External Resource Links
We may link to external databases, conservation organizations, or research portals. We do not maintain or take responsibility for the privacy practices, content completeness, or accessibility of those external third-party sites.
