Agreement in Principle: interest rates guaranteed?

I think I know the answer, but just to double check:
If I have an AiP which specifies a certain interest rate for the loan amount and terms (e.g. 5 years fixed), is that just an example for the rates on the day the AiP was generated, or is that actually a guaranteed interest rate in case you go for a mortgage based on the AiP.
I presume it is the former...

    It would not normally guarantee the rates, but who is the lender?

    In this example it would have been NatWest.

    Your AIP will not specify product.


    Your KFI (Key Facts) outlines product but does not guarantee anything.


    Your rate is reserved when you submit your full application.
