4. Nature of Derived Outputs. Customer acknowledges that any outputs generated through AI functionality via Customer-operated tools are based on statistical analysis and pattern recognition, without any true understanding of the underlying content. As such, all Derived Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, unexpected, unfaithful to the source material, or may contain biases or errors. Output quality is directly influenced by the quality and clarity of the inputs, prompts, or source content provided. Customer acknowledges that they are solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and appropriateness of all inputs, instructions, or prompts used with any AI Tools; verifying and validating the accuracy and reliability of any Derived Outputs before relying on them. For the avoidance of doubt, any Derived Output created using Slingshot Data via approved AI Tools does not confer any ownership, IP rights, or redistributable rights to the Customer. Any redistribution or commercialization of these Outputs requires explicit written consent.
5. No License to Underlying IP. Derived Outputs generated using the Licensed Materials do not grant Customer any rights in the underlying Licensed Materials, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Customer may not extract, reverse-engineer, or use any AI-generated outputs to recreate, simulate, or infer any proprietary aspects of the Licensed Materials, including for the purpose of developing competing products, models, or services. Customer is further prohibited from using Derived Outputs to infer, reconstruct, or derive any metadata, statistical properties, or other characteristics of the underlying Slingshot Data or models.
6. Liability and Indemnification. Customer shall be solely responsible for all uses and misuses of Licensed Materials, including any unauthorized AI processing or downstream distribution of Derived Outputs. This includes liability for violations of third-party rights, regulatory noncompliance, or reputational harm. Slingshot disclaims all liability for consequences resulting from unauthorized or negligent use of AI Tools by the Customer, its personnel, or its subcontractors.

In the event that Customer’s License is canceled, terminated, expired or otherwise ceases in accordance with Slingshot’s Master Service Agreement, Customer shall immediately discontinue any use of Licensed Materials with AI Tools. Upon termination in accordance with this Agreement, Customer agrees to permanently delete or destroy all Derived Outputs unless otherwise authorized in writing and will certify such deletion in writing within thirty days.
5. Prohibited Uses of Artificial Intelligence.
1. Use of Unauthorized AI Tools. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not submit Licensed Materials to any unauthorized AI Tool such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude unless that platform provides documented guarantees of non-retention, data isolation, and enterprise grade security. Use of any such tool requires Slingshot’s prior written approval. (See Section 4.2).
2. No Model Training. Customer shall not use the Licensed Materials to train, fine-tune, augment, or validate any AI Tool, model, or algorithm—whether developed internally or by a third party—without Slingshot’s prior written approval. Customer is further prohibited from using the Licensed Materials to extract model features, generate or store embedding vectors, or persist outputs for future use in contextualization, prompt chaining, reinforcement learning, or similar applications.
3. Misleading or Harmful Use. Customer shall not use Licensed Materials to generate or disseminate false, misleading, defamatory, or unlawful content, nor to misrepresent Slingshot’s data, capabilities, or commercial position.
4. Mixed Data. If Customer Data is transformed, augmented, derived from, or combined with Slingshot Data in any manner (“Mixed Data”), such Mixed Data shall be subject to the same restrictions and use limitations that apply to the original Slingshot Data under this Agreement.

Late payments are subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by Law, whichever is less.
