If Doctronic's AI system detects content related to any of the above prohibited uses, it may automatically terminate the conversation and direct users to appropriate emergency resources. For registered users, Doctronic reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate user accounts without prior notice if such prohibited content is detected.
