-
Limitations
You acknowledge that due to the nature of machine learning and the technology powering the Defang AI Assistant, Output may not be unique, and the Defang AI Assistant may generate the same or similar output to you and a third party.
Defang does not endorse nor guarantee the Outputs to be accurate, complete or current. In particular, all code forming part of any Output is provided “AS-IS” and without any representation, warranty or condition, express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of functionality, performance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. You are solely responsible for the content of the Input and your use of Output. You are solely responsible for determining the use and suitability of Output for your use case, including by employing human review of the Output for usefulness, appropriateness, accuracy, fitness for its purpose and any other quality relevant to your use cases and/or Contributions. You should not rely on factual assertions in Outputs without independently fact-checking their accuracy. Output that appears accurate because of its detail or specificity may still contain material inaccuracies. Defang AI Assistant may not dynamically retrieve information, and Output may not account for events or changes to underlying facts occurring after the relevant model was trained.
For avoidance of doubt, the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability outlined in our Terms of Service also apply to your use of Defang AI Assistant.
-
Data Retention
Third Party AI Providers may (a) log Input or Output for human review or (b) save or retain Input or Output. In addition, Third Party AI Providers may retain and use metadata associated with Defang AI Assistant usage for billing, safety and compliance purposes.

Privacy and Sub-processors
To the extent your Customer Data contains Personal Data (or similar term), as defined in any applicable data processing addendum we have with you, you instruct Defang and our sub-processors to process such Personal Data for the purposes of providing Defang AI Assistant and Output.
