AI POLICY LEGAL with SUPPLEMENTAL PLAIN LANGUAGE
The "legal" sections represent the legally binding terms of the Agreement.
The plain language "human version" sections are there to help a reader summarize and interpret the content. Please note that the plain language sections are only intended to supplement the legal sections with more user-friendly terms, but in the event of any conflict between the legal sections and the plain language sections, the legal sections shall prevail.
This is part of our promise to you:
Written in plain language. No fine print. Just trust.
