2. Content Generally
- You may provide input to the AI Services ("Input") and receive or use output from AI Services that is based on the Input ("Output"). Input includes without limitation all feedback, instructions, information, or prompts that you provide as part of AI Services. Input and Output are collectively "Content". You are responsible for all Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these AI Terms of Use or other terms in the Agreement or infringe any third party’s intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other proprietary rights.
- GoDaddy exclusively owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the AI Services and other Services (as defined in the Universal Terms of Service Agreement) and nothing contained in these AI Terms of Use shall be considered as granting you any proprietary rights in the AI Services.
- As between you and GoDaddy, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output.
- We may use Content to provide, maintain, develop, and improve our Services, comply with applicable law, enforce our terms and policies, to market and advertise our Services and keep our Services safe.
- You represent and warrant that you either fully and exclusively own or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, authorizations, and permissions for all materials used as Input.
3. Output
- Use of our AI Services may, in some situations, result in Output that (i) does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts or is otherwise inaccurate, misleading, or false; (ii) may infringe a third party’s, intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other proprietary rights; (iii) may be objectionable or contain bias; or (iv) violates the law. You should not rely on Output from our AI Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice, or to be non-infringing, unobjectionable, or fully in compliance with the law.
- GoDaddy also does not review the Content for accuracy, bias or intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other proprietary rights clearance. GoDaddy makes no representation, warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of the AI Services or whether the Output may infringe on third-party’s intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other proprietary rights.

You should always review, and when necessary revise, the Output to ensure accuracy and truthfulness and remove any offensive or biased materials. If Output references any third party products or services or expresses any views, it doesn’t mean that GoDaddy endorses the third party or is affiliated with GoDaddy or the views reflect GoDaddy’s views.
- Outputs may not be unique across users and the AI Services may generate the same or similar Outputs for other user.

If you consent to use Auto-Publish, you acknowledge and agree that:
- GoDaddy has no control over the Output and does not review any Output prior to or after it is posted to Your Properties;
- GoDaddy will provide you with a notice prior to Output being published to Your Properties to cancel or change the Output. If you do not cancel or change the Output pursuant to such notice, you are authorizing publication of the Output and the sole publisher of the Output.
- You will review all Output immediately after it is posted by the Auto-Publish to Your Properties and immediately remove any inappropriate content, including but not limited to content that is defamatory, inaccurate, or infringes a third party’s rights or terms.; and
- There are inherent risks in the use of artificial intelligence and you are fully and exclusively responsible and liable for all Output that the AI Services post on Your Properties.
5. User-Facing Bots
AI Services may offer features that enable you to deploy automated communication tools (“Bots”) that will autonomously interact with users of your website (“your customers”) on your behalf and without human intervention. These Bots will provide responses to your customers using “your information,” which includes but is not limited to your website content, policies, information that you provide to GoDaddy, publicly available data, and feedback and instructions that you provide to the Bots. If you consent to the use of Bots, you will be deploying the Bots on your website and you acknowledge and agree that:

- You remain fully responsible for all Output made by a Bot to your customers.
- Bots are not qualified to replace professional services and you will not make any representations or claims that could lead your customers to believe that a Bot can provide such professional services.
- While the Bots will draw from your information, feedback, and instructions as outlined within this section, Bot responses may contain erroneous or outdated information. Such erroneous responses could include promises, offers, claims, or other representations to your customers on your behalf that you may be required to stand behind. By agreeing to deploy the bots on your website, you fully and exclusively accept these risks and acknowledge that GoDaddy will not have any responsibility for erroneous Bot responses.
