Statement that fulfill both of those criteria aren't lies.

That would mean that if you say something that is literally true but intended to mislead, and someone figures that out, it's not a lie.

I have no problem with including intentions as a third category but in general "see that you intention aren't to mislead" is very simply to "see that you reach an outcome where the audience isn't mislead" so I don't list it separately.
