Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 20, 2026

Welcome to SiPAT. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, platform, services, features, and artificial intelligence-powered tools (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Platform.

1. Purpose of the Platform

This platform is an independent informational and transparency tool designed to help the public access, explore, and better understand publicly available local government information. The Platform may provide access to, organize, summarize, explain, classify, compare, analyze, or visualize documents and information relating to Philippine Local Government Units (LGUs), including financial, budgetary, governance, and other publicly available records. The Platform is intended for general informational and educational purposes only.

2. Information Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we do not guarantee that all information displayed on this website is complete, accurate, current, or free from errors. Information available through the Platform may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or subject to errors in data collection, document processing, artificial intelligence analysis, or interpretation. Users acknowledge and understand that information displayed on the Platform should not automatically be considered complete or definitive.

3. AI-Generated Information

Some content, summaries, explanations, classifications, and responses on this platform may be generated or assisted by artificial intelligence. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or misinterpretations and should not be treated as definitive. AI-generated summaries, analyses, and responses are provided for informational purposes only and may contain inaccuracies or omissions. Users should exercise independent judgment when relying on information generated or presented by the Platform's artificial intelligence systems.

4. Not an Official Government Website

This platform is an independent transparency and information tool and is not affiliated with, operated by, endorsed by, or officially representing any Philippine government agency, local government unit (LGU), or public official, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The Platform does not replace official government websites, portals, records, publications, or announcements.

5. Verification of Information

Users are encouraged to verify important information by consulting the original documents and official sources provided by the relevant LGU or government agency. Where available, links or references to source documents should be considered the primary basis for verification. Before relying on information, making decisions, filing complaints, publishing claims, or taking any action based on information obtained through the Platform, users are encouraged to independently review and verify the relevant original documents and official governmental sources.

6. Document Availability and Missing Records

The absence of a document, report, or record on this platform does not necessarily mean that an LGU failed to prepare, submit, publish, or comply with the relevant requirement. Documents may be unavailable, inaccessible, delayed, uploaded elsewhere, or not yet included in our system. Users should not interpret missing information as conclusive evidence of an LGU's actions or failures without further verification.

7. Compliance Status and Indicators

Any compliance status, indicator, score, warning, or label displayed on this platform is based on the information and criteria available to the system. It does not constitute an official legal, regulatory, or government determination that an LGU is compliant or non-compliant. The Platform is an informational tool and is not a substitute for official mechanisms or determinations.

8. AI Analysis and Automated Findings

Some generated analyses, observations, trends, anomalies, or comparisons are informational only. They are provided as part of this Platform's informational and educational purpose and are not an official evaluation of any kind.

9. No Presumption of Wrongdoing

The Platform does not intend to accuse, attack, or make unsupported allegations against any local government unit or individual. Any missing documents, unusual figures, identified inconsistencies, or automated findings may have legitimate explanations and should not automatically be interpreted as a presumption of wrongdoing.

No information, analysis, score, indicator, warning, or AI-generated response provided by the Platform should be treated as a presumption of guilt or wrongdoing.

10. Data Interpretation and Context

Financial figures, budgets, expenditures, and government reports may require context for proper interpretation. Simplified explanations and visualizations may not capture the full context within a dataset. Users are encouraged to review the complete original documents and relevant contextual information when making conclusions about an LGU or any individual or organization.

11. Data Currency and Updates

Government documents and data may be updated, corrected, amended, replaced, or superseded after they have been collected or processed by the platform export. The information displayed may not always reflect the most recent official version. The Platform does not guarantee that every document, figure, report, or record reflects the latest available information.

12. Document Processing and Technical Limitations

Documents may be converted from PDFs, scanned images, spreadsheets, or other formats. During extraction, optical character recognition (OCR), or other processing, errors may occur. Temporary errors, system failures, incorrect data displays, broken links, duplicate records, or incomplete search results may also occur. Users acknowledge that technical limitations may affect the completeness, accuracy, accessibility, or presentation of information on the Platform.

This platform is provided for general informational purposes only. Use of the Site does not create an advisory or professional-client relationship between you and the Platform operators, and nothing on this platform should be construed as a guarantee of any particular outcome.

Users are accountable for how they access and use the content on this platform and for verifying information before relying on it. Any reliance on the information provided is at your own risk.

The Platform makes content available for general informational and educational use, and it is the user's responsibility to exercise appropriate judgment.

15. External and Third-Party Sources

This platform may reference or link to third-party websites, government portals, or external documents. We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, security, or content of external sources. The inclusion of a reference or link does not necessarily constitute endorsement, approval, or verification of the content provided by an external source.

16. AI Assistant Notice

The Platform's AI assistant may generate responses based on available documents and data. Responses may contain errors or incomplete information. You should confirm important information before relying on it. If you have concerns, please contact us and the Platform does not make binding official statements to assist with any matters.

17. Interpretation of Automated Results

Certain results displayed by the Platform may be based on automated analysis of the information available at the time.

Interpret with caution: results are based on automated analysis of available information. They do not establish wrongdoing and may require additional context and verification.

18. No Guarantee of Completeness or Reliability

Information displayed on the Platform may be updated, corrected, modified, removed, replaced, or superseded without prior notice as new information becomes available or as errors are identified. We may also modify, suspend, update, or discontinue any feature or portion of the Platform without prior notice.

19A. No Intent to Damage Reputation

The Platform is created and operated for the purpose of promoting transparency, accessibility, accountability, and public understanding of publicly available government information, and it is not intended to bring down or damage the reputation of any particular government unit.

Any information, document, analysis, comparison, compliance indicator, score, warning, observation, or AI-generated content displayed on the Platform is intended solely for informational and educational purposes and should not be interpreted as an attempt to defame, discredit, or unfairly target any entity or individual.
