We do not currently deploy analytics, preference, or advertising cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated first.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain platform features from functioning correctly.

Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

LaunchCRO™ provides a matching and placement platform. We do not guarantee specific commercial results from any engagement.

No Guarantee of Results

While we verify executive outcomes and provide a 30-day fit commitment, we do not guarantee specific commercial results, revenue growth, pipeline targets, or business outcomes from any engagement. Results depend on numerous factors outside LaunchCRO™'s control including company readiness, market conditions, and execution quality.

Platform Provided As-Is

The LaunchCRO™ platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. LaunchCRO™ does not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WSS LLC and LaunchCRO™ shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the fees paid by you to LaunchCRO™ in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Executive Conduct

LaunchCRO™ is not responsible for the conduct, performance, or outcomes of executives introduced through the platform. The engagement relationship is directly between the company and the executive.

AI Use Disclosure

LaunchCRO™ uses artificial intelligence as a core part of its matching, verification, and engagement planning services.

How We Use AI

  • Conversational intake: AI-assisted intake asks follow-up questions to understand your commercial problem before matching begins.
  • Executive matching: AI-assisted systems support stage diagnosis, capability matching, and match explanation, with human review of material outputs.
  • Verification support: AI-assisted tools support the verification workflow, including drafting reference requests. AI does not independently verify facts; verification determinations involve human review.
  • 90-day plan generation: AI generates personalized engagement plans specific to each company's stage, vertical, and stated commercial problem.

Human Review

All AI-generated outputs are reviewed by a human operator before being delivered to users. No fully automated decisions with legal or significant effects are made without human oversight.

AI Limitations

AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. LaunchCRO™ is not liable for errors in AI-generated outputs. Users should not rely solely on AI-generated content for business decisions without independent verification.

Data Processing

Information submitted through the platform may be processed by contracted third-party AI providers under their commercial terms. By using the platform you consent to this processing. Data submitted through our AI systems is not used to train third-party general-purpose models unless authorized or permitted under disclosed terms. Providers may change; these protections continue to apply.
