  1. Artificial Intelligence.

You acknowledge and agree that we use OpenAI or other similar technology in our business and Services. We have received contractual assurances from OpenAI that it does not use any Sift output for training its own models.  However, we may use Sift output to help develop and improve our Services and fine-tune our own model, which is owned by us and is not used to train our models.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, and for the sake of clarity, the foregoing does not govern the situations when your information is on the public space (e.g., social media or internet) or when you voluntarily use certain AI services, such as OpenAI’s non-API consumer servicers ChatGPT or DALL-E. Third-party AI services may use the data you voluntarily provided them or uploaded to the public space to improve their large language models, subject to their own terms of use.

  1. No Conflicting Uses.

You may not use the Sift API, API output, configuration, or any Sift documentation to replicate, frame or mirror the Services. Except with the prior written consent of us, you may not engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activity, if such business activity conflicts with, or places you in a conflicting position to that of us or the Services, or is specifically intended to purposefully divert and/or drive existing customers away from the Services. Except as expressly authorized herein, you may not develop or instruct any third party to develop a web site that reasonably may be deemed to be competitive with the Services (for instance by developing a similar API or featuring and displaying portions of API) unless we provide written consent to you prior to the undertaking of the development and launch of such web site.

  1. Third-Party Services.

You may be able to link from the Services to third-party websites, software, services, or other resources that take you outside of the Services (“Third-Party Services”). We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources. We have no responsibility for the information, content, products, services, advertising, code, or other material provided through the Third-Party Services. Your interactions with Third-Party Services are subject to their own terms.

  1. Changes or Updates to the Services.

We shall have the right for any reason, in our sole discretion, to terminate, change, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any aspect of the Services, including but not limited to content or features, without notice to you. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services with or without notice or liability.

From time to time, we may make available updates or upgrades to the Services. Such updates or upgrades may occur automatically without the need for an act on your part, or it may require you to manually download an update or upgrade through the same source from which the Services was originally downloaded. Certain functions of the Services may be modified or discontinued as a result of any such update or upgrade or may not be available if you have not downloaded all updates and upgrades made available by us or otherwise.

We do not warrant that the functions, features or content contained in the services will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that any other site or the server that makes it available is free of viruses or other harmful components.
