Section 5: AI Features — Acknowledgment of Risk
IMPORTANT: THE DASHBOARD incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning features. Customer expressly acknowledges and accepts the following risks and limitations.
5.1 Nature of AI Outputs
THE DASHBOARD's AI Features generate outputs — including but not limited to insights, recommendations, summaries, predictions, intelligence briefings, and podcast content — based on patterns in data. These outputs are probabilistic and inherently uncertain, and may contain inaccuracies, errors, or "hallucinations." Company makes no representation or warranty that any AI output is accurate, complete, current, fit for any particular purpose, or free from bias. AI outputs may not be unique across users and may be similar or identical to outputs generated for other Customers.
5.2 Customer Responsibility for AI Outputs
Customer assumes sole and complete responsibility for all decisions made based on or in reliance upon AI Features. Customer shall independently verify any AI output before acting upon it. Under no circumstances shall Company be liable for any harm, loss, or damage resulting from Customer's reliance on AI-generated content. Customer shall maintain human review and oversight of all AI outputs before taking any material business action based thereon.
5.3 No Professional Advice
AI outputs generated by THE DASHBOARD do not constitute legal, financial, medical, sales or selling, marketing, or any other form of professional advice. AI outputs should never be relied upon as the sole basis for business, legal, financial, medical, or any consequential decisions. Customer should consult qualified professionals before making material business decisions.
5.4 AI-Generated Content and Intellectual Property
Customer acknowledges that AI-generated outputs may not qualify for copyright protection or other intellectual property rights under applicable law without sufficient human creative contribution. Company makes no representation regarding the copyrightability or protectability of AI-generated outputs. Customer is solely responsible for determining whether and how AI outputs may be used, published, or relied upon.
5.5 Data Used by AI
By enabling AI Features, Customer consents to the processing of Customer Content by the Company's AI systems. The chat assistant executes read-only queries against Customer's dedicated database; query results are transmitted to the AI sub-processor solely for the purpose of generating responses. Customer represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights and consents to submit such data for AI processing.
5.6 AI Training Opt-Out
Company may use de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized data derived from Customer's use of the AI Features to train and improve its AI models. Customer may opt out of having its data used for AI model training by submitting a written request to [email protected] or by adjusting the applicable setting within THE DASHBOARD account settings. Upon receipt of a valid opt-out request, Company will cease using Customer's data for model training purposes within thirty (30) days or sooner where required by applicable law. Opting out of AI training does not affect the availability or functionality of AI Features for Customer's use.
5.7 Sensitive Data Restrictions
Customer shall not submit to the AI Features any data that constitutes: (a) protected health information as defined by HIPAA; (b) financial account numbers, social security numbers, or government-issued identification numbers; (c) data concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation; or (d) any data subject to heightened regulatory protection that Customer has not been expressly authorized by Company in writing to process through the AI Features.
5.8 AI Sub-Processors
AI Features are delivered through third-party AI infrastructure providers. As of the Effective Date, AI processing is performed through AWS Bedrock infrastructure, and Customer Content processed by AI Features does not leave the AWS environment or reach third-party AI providers' servers directly. The current AI sub-processors are identified in the Sub-Processor List maintained by Company.
5.9 AI Feature Availability
Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue AI Features at any time, including in response to changes in third-party AI provider terms, capabilities, or availability. Changes to AI Features are not subject to the uptime commitments in the SLA unless otherwise specified. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide thirty (30) days' notice before discontinuing a material AI Feature.
5.10 Compliance with AI Laws
Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that its use of AI Features complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, and any other applicable AI governance legislation. Where applicable law requires disclosure that content was generated by an AI system, or requires human oversight of AI-assisted decisions, Customer shall be solely responsible for compliance with such requirements.
Section 6: Fees, Payment, and Renewal
6.1 Fees
Customer agrees to pay all fees set forth in the applicable Online Order Form or as displayed in Company's pricing page, checkout page, or applicable Online Order Form at the time of purchase.

6.6 Cancellation
Customer may cancel its subscription at any time through the self-service cancellation mechanism available in the account settings within THE DASHBOARD (available under Account Settings > Subscription > Cancel).

Section 8: Confidentiality
Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the other party's Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care used to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care.

These obligations do not apply to information that is: (a) publicly known without breach; (b) independently developed; (c) received from a third party without restriction; or (d) required to be disclosed by law, provided the receiving party provides prompt notice and reasonable cooperation to allow the disclosing party to seek protective relief.

Section 9: Service Levels and Support
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make THE DASHBOARD available in accordance with the uptime commitments set forth in the Service Level Agreement (Exhibit C).

Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least forty-eight (48) hours' advance notice for scheduled maintenance. Emergency maintenance necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Services may be performed without advance notice.
Section 10: Warranties and Disclaimers
10.1 Company Limited Warranty

Except for the Excluded Claims set forth in Section 11.4, each party's total cumulative liability to the other party arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services, regardless of the form of action or theory of liability, shall not exceed the total fees paid or payable by Customer to Company in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This cap is aggregate and not per-incident.
