AI Features Terms

These AI Features Terms (the "AI Features Terms") form part of the Contract and supplement the General Terms and Conditions for Services (the "General Terms"). They apply where 24Slides makes AI Features available to Customer. Capitalised terms not defined in these AI Features Terms have the meaning given to them in the General Terms.

1. Scope and Application

1.1

Application.

These AI Features Terms apply to Customer's use of the AI Features, to 24Slides' use of generative artificial intelligence to create content that is included in the Deliverables, and to the AI Outputs in each case.

1.2

Precedence.

In the event of a conflict between these AI Features Terms and the General Terms, these AI Features Terms prevail in respect of the AI Features and the AI Outputs. Where the Parties have entered into a separate AI addendum or similar instrument, that instrument prevails over these AI Features Terms to the extent of any conflict.

1.3

Acceptance.

Customer accepts these AI Features Terms before first use of the AI Features, and before 24Slides includes content generated by artificial intelligence in the Deliverables. Acceptance may be given by electronic acceptance on the Platform or at signup, in the Order Form, or by other written confirmation. 24Slides records each acceptance, including the accepting user, the time of acceptance and the version of these AI Features Terms accepted.

1.4

Publication and changes.

24Slides publishes these AI Features Terms on the Platform or on its website. 24Slides may amend these AI Features Terms with effect for future use of the AI Features. Where an amendment is material, 24Slides obtains Customer's renewed acceptance before further use. Each version is dated, and earlier versions remain available.

2. Definitions

2.1

"Customer Inputs"

means logos, brand guidelines, text, images, data and other material submitted to the AI Features by Customer, or by 24Slides on Customer's behalf, including prompts.

3.4

Indemnity.

Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless 24Slides against any Claim brought by a third party arising out of the Customer Inputs or out of a breach of Section 3.3.

4. AI Outputs

4.1

Assignment.

To the extent that any Intellectual Property Rights subsist in the AI Outputs and vest in 24Slides, 24Slides assigns such rights to Customer with effect from the generation of the AI Outputs. Customer may use, modify, reproduce, present, distribute and commercially exploit the AI Outputs without further payment to 24Slides.

4.4

Disapplication.

Section 3.2 of the General Terms does not apply to the AI Outputs.

4.5

No exclusivity.

The AI Outputs are generated automatically. Output generated for other customers may be similar or identical to the AI Outputs. 24Slides gives no warranty of uniqueness and is not restricted from generating similar output for others. Customer is responsible for any clearance it considers necessary before commercial use, including in respect of trade marks.

5. Human Review and Warranties

5.1

No human review.

Customer acknowledges that AI Outputs generated by Customer through the AI Features are produced without review by 24Slides Personnel, and that the human oversight and quality control described in Section 2.6 of the General Terms does not apply to the AI Features where AI Outputs are generated by Customer.

Customer review.

Customer is responsible for reviewing and verifying the AI Outputs before use. AI Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or unsuitable for Customer's purpose.
