Effective Date: October 2024
PatSeer Generative AI Additional Terms and Conditions (“GenAI Terms”) govern your use of the generative artificial intelligence features (“GenAI Features”) provided by PatSeer Technologies Pvt Ltd. These GenAI Terms are an integral part of the Agreement between PatSeer and the Customer if the GenAI Features are included in the plan selected by the Customer or subsequently opted into by the Customer.
Unless explicitly defined otherwise herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement and the General Terms of Service.
1. APPLICABILITY

1.2 These GenAI Terms may be supplemented by specific product terms. In the case of any conflict between the GenAI Terms and other documents in the Agreement, the following order of precedence will apply: Ordering Document, product-specific terms, these GenAI Terms, annexes, schedules, and General Terms and Conditions.
1.3 By approving these GenAI Terms, the Customer consents to enable the GenAI Features for their organization. These features may be disabled by the Customer at any time.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 User Content: Any content uploaded or accessed by a user via integration with PatSeer Services.
2.2 User Prompt: Input from a user, such as a query or command, used to guide the Services in generating an Output using the GenAI Features.
2.3 Output: Text, information, or other generated content provided by the GenAI Features in response to User Prompts or User Content.
3. USAGE
3.1 The Customer may provide User Prompts and User Content for the purpose of generating Outputs using the GenAI Features. The Customer warrants that they have all the necessary rights, permissions, and licenses to use such User Prompts and User Content.
3.2 When accessing or using the Services, Users must not submit User Prompts or User Content that violates any applicable laws or infringes third-party rights. This includes ensuring no personal data (as defined by applicable law) that infringes any legal rights is provided.
3.3 PatSeer does not, and will not permit its third-party service providers to, use User Prompts, User Content, or Outputs for the training, development, or fine-tuning of generative models unless agreed to separately in writing.
4. OUTPUTS AND RIGHTS
4.1 Subject to the use restrictions set forth in the Agreement, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Customer retains ownership of the Outputs generated through the GenAI Features. Ownership remains subject to third-party licensors’ rights and any rights retained by PatSeer in its intellectual property or derivative works. A limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use portions of the Output that include PatSeer’s intellectual property is granted to the Customer, but does not imply transfer of ownership.
4.2 Due to the nature of GenAI models, similar or identical Outputs may be provided to multiple users, though Outputs will not be generated using another user’s User Content or User Prompts.
4.3 The Customer may not use PatSeer’s or third-party providers’ property for the training of artificial intelligence models, the creation of derivative works, or any purposes that violate intellectual property rights or applicable laws.
5. USE OF EXTERNAL SERVICES
5.1 PatSeer aims to host all GenAI Features within its own cloud environment. However, to expedite providing value to Customers, trusted external services may be used to host specific models and functionalities (“External Services”). Only services evaluated as trusted and compliant with PatSeer standards will be used, and no User Content will be sent to these External Services without explicit Customer consent.
5.2 PatSeer never sends User Content to External Services without Customer approval, and ensures no External Service claims ownership over User Content or uses it to train their models.
5.3 External services currently include trusted partners such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which meet the following minimum requirements:
- They do not use input prompts for training their own models.
- They do not claim ownership over User-generated content.
6. DISCLAIMERS
6.1 The Outputs generated by GenAI Features are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. PatSeer makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy or correctness of Outputs, and Customers are encouraged to verify Outputs with primary sources before use.
6.2 Use of the GenAI Features and Outputs is at the Customer’s own risk. To the extent that warranties cannot be disclaimed under applicable law, such warranties will be limited to the minimum extent required by such law.
7. CHANGES TO THE GENERATIVE AI TERMS
7.1 PatSeer may revise these GenAI Terms from time to time. By continuing to use the GenAI Features after updates to the GenAI Terms are posted or communicated, the Customer agrees to the updated GenAI Terms. If the Customer does not accept the updated GenAI Terms, use of the GenAI Features must be discontinued.
