SPECIFIC FEATURES

Text Messaging. By using our SMS notification facilities, you acknowledge and consent to your contact details being passed to and stored by SMBapps and the SMS Provider(s) and acknowledge and understand that certain data about your use of Text Messaging will be shared with the SMS Provider(s), including, but not limited to, the contents and metadata of each message. Such data will be shared with the SMS Provider(s) for the purpose of providing the Service to you. You understand and agree that we may limit the number of messages delivered to you.

Generative AI / Chatbot

You are responsible for ensuring that any chatbot instructions or other content you make available (collectively, "Inputs") are appropriate and permissible under these Terms.

Use of our AI chatbot features - which use ChatGPT and other AI platforms (collectively, "AI Models") - may result in content, materials, data, visuals, metrics, insights, optimizations, recommendations, and other output generated and/or provided by the AI Models and our processing of such (collectively, “Outputs”) that are inaccurate or otherwise not fit for use (including from a legal and/or business perspective).

SMBAPPS MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED THAT THE AI MODELS OR ANY OUTPUTS ARE FREE FROM ERROR OR BIAS. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH OUTPUTS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH OUTPUTS MAY BE DELIVERED TO YOUR WEBSITE VISITORS WITHOUT YOUR INTERVENTION. YOU MUST CAREFULLY REVIEW THE RESULTING OUTPUTS AND ALERT YOUR WEBSITE VISITORS IF SUCH OUTPUTS ARE NOT ACCURATE, LAWFUL, OR OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE.

You acknowledge and agree that we leverage certain third parties to provide AI Models, including to generate Outputs and to process and store Inputs and Outputs in private hosting environments. By using the AI Model, you authorize and agree that such third parties may access, use, and store any Inputs and Outputs pursuant to their relevant terms and privacy policies.

Without limiting our rights otherwise set forth in this Agreement, by using the AI Models, you hereby grant SMBapps (and their agents, employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, affiliates, subsidiaries and representatives) a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple-tiers) license to access, use, modify, display, publicly perform, distribute, copy, create derivatives from (including derivative works of) and process any and all Inputs and Outputs (including any intellectual property contained therein or embodied thereby) for any purpose, including to develop and improve the AI Models and for purposes stated in our Privacy Statement.

We may use your Inputs and Outputs, including Customer Data, for machine learning purposes in order to develop and improve the AI Model, our services, and similar products and features, and you instruct us to process Customer Data for such purposes. You may select preferences about your data by visiting your account settings.

You acknowledge that AI Models may only be available in certain languages and subject to certain limitations (e.g., restrictions on use for certain types of customers or for certain purposes). You agree to comply with any such restrictions or limitations. We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or further limit use of the AI Models at any time (without any notice to you). We may limit, suspend, or terminate AI Models or your participation in or access to AI Models at any time, with or without cause. If we do any of the foregoing, we are not in any way liable to you for any modification, suspension, termination, discontinuation, or limitation. Without limitation, the laws and regulations governing artificial intelligence and related technology are uncertain and evolving, and the ability to use the AI Models and/or Outputs may be adversely impacted in the future.

You agree to use the AI Models (and any Outputs) in full compliance with this Agreement and in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy.

Right to Suspend. SMBapps may temporarily suspend Customer’s or any of Customer’s end users’ access to any portion of the Brevi Chat Service if SMBapps reasonably determines that: (a) there is a threat or attack on the Brevi Chat Service or other event that may create a risk to the Brevi Chat Service, Customer or any other customer of SMBapps; (b) Customer’s use of the Brevi Chat Service or any Customer Materials disrupts or poses a security risk to the Brevi Chat Service or any other SMBapps customer; or (c) Customer is using the Brevi Chat Service in violation of the Agreement, including but not limited to, using the Brevi Chat Service for fraudulent or illegal activities (collectively, “Service Suspensions”).

Copyright Policy; Objectionable Content. If you believe your rights have been violated by, or you otherwise object to, any posting, content or information on the Brevi Chat Service, please contact us promptly so we can evaluate the claim and take appropriate action. If your complaint includes a claim of copyright infringement, the following policy will apply:

It is SMBapps’s policy to respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement, and to remove, or disable access to, infringing material. If you believe that any of the content or materials appearing on the Brevi Chat Service contain infringements, please send a notice to our designated agent at the address stated below.
