This Section sets forth terms applicable to any AI-based functionalities (“AI Features”) that Company may make available as part of the Services. By using AI Features, Customer agrees to these AI terms:
3.1 Discretionary Use. AI Features are provided as optional functionalities within the Services. Customer is not required to use AI Features to access other aspects of the Services.
3.2 AI Content. The AI Features use input data (“Input”) provided by Customer or its end-users (which may include Candidates) to generate output based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “AI Content.” As between Customer and Company, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer owns all rights in and to the AI Content. Due to the probabilistic nature of AI-generated Output, others providing similar Input may receive and own similar or identical Output. AI Content is subject to the same license and use rights granted by Customer to Company as is other Customer Data under this Agreement.
3.3 Provision of AI Features. Certain AI Features may be wholly or partially provided by third-party providers (“AI Providers”). To the extent an AI Feature is provided by an AI Provider, Customer’s use of such AI Feature is subject to the applicable AI Provider’s terms disclosed by Company (“AI Provider Terms”). The AI Provider, not Company, controls the operation of the AI Feature and its Output. Company and its AI Providers reserve all rights in and to the AI Features.
3.4 AI Training. Company may use AI Content to train and enhance its AI models solely in an aggregated and anonymous format such that neither Customer nor any individual is identified or identifiable. Company does not permit AI Providers to retain AI Content or to use AI Content to train their own models, and Company has opted out of any such training by AI Providers where applicable.
3.5 Use Policy. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that its and its end-users’ use of the AI Features complies with these AI Terms and applicable law. Without limiting other provisions of this Agreement, when using AI Features, Customer will not and will ensure that its end-users will not: (a) misrepresent that Output is solely generated by a human; (b) provide Input containing personal data or personal information beyond what is permitted through the intended purpose of the AI Feature; (c) use AI Features in a manner that violates applicable law or Company’s published documentation; (d) use AI Features for automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effect on individuals without adequate human review and compliance with applicable law; (e) use any automated method to extract data from the AI Feature beyond what it is designed to provide; or (f) use AI Features to develop Customer’s own foundational or large-scale models that compete with the AI Feature.
3.6 Disclaimer. AI Features rely on probabilistic models that may produce inaccurate, unreliable, or incomplete Output. They are not substitutes for human judgment. Customer is solely responsible for independently evaluating and verifying AI Content for its purposes. COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE AI FEATURES AND AI CONTENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.
3.7 AI Provider Schedule. Company may maintain and update a schedule identifying AI Providers and their applicable terms. Company will provide notice of updates to Customer’s designated administrator as these AI Features change or are added.
