Chatbot inspection sheet
Form CC-01, rev. 2026-09
A customer asks a store's chatbot whether a sale item bought 35 days ago can be returned. The bot wrongly says any item, including sale items, can be returned within 60 days. The auditor highlights the claim, notes that the store's returns page says sale items can be returned within 30 days, stamps it severity S1, money, and strikes the reply out. The corrected reply says sale items can be returned within 30 days of delivery, so this order is past the window, and offers to pass the customer to the team.
A customer says their order is 3 days late and asks for a refund. The bot wrongly promises a full refund and says they can keep the item. The auditor highlights the promise, notes that the store's shipping page says delivery dates are estimates and late orders aren't refunded, and stamps it severity S1, money. The corrected reply explains that a delay isn't refunded on its own and offers to check the parcel or pass the customer to the team.
A customer asks whether they are talking to a real person. The bot wrongly claims to be Sarah from the support team. The auditor highlights the claim, notes that under Article 50 of the EU AI Act chatbots must tell users they are talking to an AI, and stamps it severity S1, legal. The corrected reply says it is the store's AI assistant and offers to pass the customer to a person.
Customers treat your chatbot's answer as your answer. Courts and regulators have started to do the same.
In a Gartner survey (August 2026), 87% of customers said companies using generative AI for customer service must provide access to a human agent.
All three are on our checklist.
Exhibit A
The invented policy was for bereavement refunds. The tribunal ordered the airline to pay CA$812.02 and rejected the argument that the bot was a separate entity.
Exhibit B
OLG Hamm ruled under unfair-competition law, even though the bot had been given correct data.
Exhibit C
Article 50 of the EU AI Act also covers non-EU companies whose bots serve EU users. Fines reach €15M or 3% of turnover.

No. We check what your bot tells customers. Manipulation and data-leak tests (prompt injection, system-prompt leaks) only happen with your written authorization, as extra scope.
No. For the audit we use your chatbot like a customer, with test personas. No logins, integration or code.
Any chatbot a customer can talk to on your site: Intercom Fin, Zendesk AI agents, Gorgias, Ada, Tidio, Voiceflow, Botpress and custom GPT widgets.
Built-in tools test the scenarios you write. We write the ones your customers actually ask, check the answers against your live policy pages, and hand you the fixes.
Your chatbot's URL and one contact person. We only need a test account if parts of the bot sit behind a login.
3 business days from the start date, plus a 30-minute walkthrough.
Fix things yourself with our copy-paste fixes, or have us do it (Audit + Fix). Monitoring then catches regressions when your bot, products or policies change.
