5. Artificial Intelligence Output; No Reliance Without Review

5.1. Nature of AI Output. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service uses generative artificial intelligence systems to produce AI Output, that such systems are probabilistic in nature, and that AI Output may, accordingly, contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, defects, security vulnerabilities, or other deficiencies, and may be inconsistent or unsuitable for a particular purpose.

5.2. Customer Responsibility. The Customer is solely responsible for evaluating, reviewing, validating, and testing all AI Output prior to any reliance thereon or deployment thereof, and the Customer assumes all risk arising from its use of, or reliance upon, any AI Output.

5.3. Processing of Inputs. In order to generate AI Output, the inputs submitted by or on behalf of the Customer, together with related Project Data, are transmitted to OwlMeans’ artificial-intelligence subprocessor for processing, all as more particularly described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Intellectual Property and Ownership

6.1. Customer Ownership of Project Data and AI Output. As between the Customer and OwlMeans, and subject to Section 6.4, the Customer owns, and shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to, its Project Data and the applications, source code, and other AI Output generated for the Customer through the Service, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein.

No right, title, or interest in or to the Service is granted to the Customer except for the limited rights expressly set forth in these Terms, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by OwlMeans and its licensors.

6.4. Third-Party and Open-Source Components. The Customer acknowledges that AI Output and generated applications may incorporate or depend upon third-party or open-source software components, each of which is licensed under its own terms, and that the Customer is solely responsible for ensuring its compliance with all such third-party and open-source license terms.

6.5. Feedback. If the Customer provides OwlMeans with any suggestions, comments, or other feedback relating to the Service (collectively, “Feedback”), the Customer hereby grants OwlMeans a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use and exploit such Feedback for any purpose, without any obligation or compensation to the Customer.

The Service relies upon, integrates with, or otherwise depends upon Third-Party Services, including, without limitation, cloud-infrastructure providers, content-delivery and security providers (including Cloudflare), and artificial-intelligence providers (including Anthropic). OwlMeans does not control, and is not responsible or liable for, the availability, accuracy, performance, security, or content of any Third-Party Service.

8.2. No Guarantee of Availability. While OwlMeans endeavors to make the Service available on a reliable basis, the Customer acknowledges that OwlMeans does not and cannot guarantee that the Service will be available on an uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free basis, and that access to the Service may be suspended or restricted from time to time, including in connection with maintenance, updates, or failures of Third-Party Services.

11.3. Allocation of Risk. The Customer acknowledges that the disclaimers and limitations set forth in Sections 10 and 11 reflect a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties, that they form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties, and that OwlMeans would not be able to provide the Service on an economically reasonable basis without such disclaimers and limitations.

11.4. Jurisdictional Limits.
