These terms of service outline the terms and conditions related to the use of the AI-generative content feature Offer AI Content Generator (the “AI Service”). It is crucial that you understand and adhere to these terms of service, as these form the basis of the contractual relationship between FintechOS and the entity you represent (the “Customer”), in relation to the use of the AI Service. 

As we navigate the evolving landscape of AI technology, our goal is to ensure that the Customers and their users are well-informed and protected while benefiting from the innovative capabilities that the AI Service offer.  

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE AI SERVICE AND/OR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS HEREIN SIGNIFIES YOUR COMMITMENT TO ABIDE THE CUSTOMER AND ITS USERS BY THEM. FURTHERMORE, BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REPRESENT THE ENTITY IDENTIFIED HEREIN AS THE CUSTOMER. 

1. Description of the AI Service. The AI Service is powered by generative artificial intelligence, specifically OpenAI’s currently free subscription to GPT-4 language model, that can be used by the Customer’s users for generating creative and engaging copy for promotional campaigns, special offers, or product launches, tailored to attract and retain their end clients or for creating detailed descriptions of banking products and services, highlighting features, benefits, and suitability for different end-client segments.  

The AI Service may be employed by Customer’s users to create content based solely on non-personal generic information about the Customer’s current or future services and products bundles or offerings, such as: general criteria for segmenting audience, service/product internal name, start and end date of the campaign, general fees, commissions and interest rates charged to their end-clients. The  

THE AI SERVICE IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT THE NEED FOR PERSONAL DATA INPUT. 

Customer acknowledges that the AI Service utilizes services provided to FintechOS by OpenAI, LLC (“OpenAI”), and undertakes to accept and comply with the following OpenAI terms: Terms of UseUsage Guidelines, Sharing & Publication Policy, (collectively, the OpenAI Policies), and any violation of these terms by the Customer may result in the alteration or discontinuation of the AI Service by FintechOS. Customer shall not use the AI Service in a manner which shall cause FintechOS to be in violation of any OpenAI Policy. FintechOS does not control and is not responsible for any changes, updates, or discontinuations of service made by OpenAI that may affect the functionality, availability, or performance of the AI Service. Therefore, FintechOS shall not be liable towards Customer and/or its users for any interruption, degradation, or discontinuation of the AI Service arising from OpenAI’s actions, decisions, or changes in their services and technologies. 

2. Accuracy and Reliability. Given the inherent limitations of AI technology, the generated output may occasionally contain inaccuracies or errors. This is due to the fact that AI operates based on algorithms and data sets that, while sophisticated, may not capture the nuances of every situation or the latest changes in the relevant fields.  

Customer and its users are advised to independently verify the output provided by the AI Service. This includes, but is not limited to, cross-checking AI-generated output against current and reliable sources, consulting with qualified professionals for advice, and exercising professional judgment in the use of such output. 

User discretion is paramount, especially in scenarios where the AI-generated content is used for critical decision-making or forms a basis for significant business, financial or strategic actions. The AI Service is not designed or intended for use in scenarios where errors or inaccuracies in output could lead to significant financial, legal, or personal consequences for individuals or entities. The Customer must not use the AI Service output for such high-stakes decision-making without adequate independent verification and professional advice. Customer bears the ultimate responsibility for any decisions or actions taken based on the output generated by the AI Service. 

3. User Responsibility. Customer acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its users, that (i) it and its users should scrutinize the veracity of any information included in output from the AI Service; and (ii) the output may find offensive, indecent, incorrect, or objectionable.  

The AI Service is intended to assist the Customer and its users in creating offers and materials, however the final use of the output is at the user’s discretion. Users are responsible for critically assessing, editing, and finalizing AI-generated output to ensure it aligns with the Customer’s internal policies and procedures and their business needs, complies with legal standards, and adheres to regulations including advertising, financial, and consumer protection laws. 

While the AI Service offers suggestions and assistance, it operates within its programmed parameters and may not cover all nuances or specific requirements. Therefore, it’s essential for users to apply their own judgment and expertise in using AI-generated output. The responsibility for the final content, its legal and ethical compliance, and its suitability lies with the Customer’s users. 

Under no circumstances shall FintechOS be liable in any way for any output, including any errors or omissions in any output, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of Customer’s or any user’s use of any output generated through the use of the AI Service. To the extent that Customer or its users relies upon the factual accuracy of any output, Customer acknowledges that it does so entirely at its own risk.
