7. Disclaimers
7.1. Nature of Outputs. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or unsuitable for your purposes or the purposes of your End Users. Due to the nature of the AI Features:
7.1.1. Outputs may not be unique and may be similar or identical to outputs generated for other customers or users;
7.1.2. the same or similar Inputs may produce different Outputs; and
7.1.3. Outputs are generated automatically and do not reflect the views, opinions, or advice of Thinkific or its Third Party AI Providers.
7.2. Disclaimer of Warranties. Outputs are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or non-infringement. You acknowledge that AI systems are inherently probabilistic and that Outputs may contain errors, hallucinations, biases, inaccuracies, incompleteness, or other deficiencies.
7.3. No Professional Advice. Outputs do not constitute professional advice and must not be relied upon as such. You are responsible for independently evaluating Outputs and, where appropriate, obtaining advice from qualified professionals before relying on or using Outputs.
7.4. Content Scope. For End Users, Outputs are generated solely from content available to them within the Services, and may vary in quality and completeness depending on the content accessible to the End User.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7, nothing in this Section limits Thinkific’s obligations under Sections 8.4.1 (THINKER Credits), or Thinkific’s obligations with respect to indemnification, limitation of liability, or confidentiality under the Agreement.
8. Your Responsibilities
8.1. Use and End User Governance. You control how the AI Features are used, including whether and to whom they are made available, and are solely responsible for determining whether to enable or disable AI Features for your End Users. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the AI Features, and your End Users’ use of the AI Features, complies with this Addendum, the Agreement, and applicable law and regulation (“Applicable Law”). You are also responsible for addressing any misuse of the AI Features by you or your End Users and agree to notify Thinkific in writing if you become aware of any non-compliance with this Addendum by you or any End User.
8.2. Human Review. AI Features support human decision-making and do not make autonomous decisions. You and your End Users must review Outputs before relying on them to ensure their accuracy, quality, applicability, and compliance with Applicable Law.
8.3. Prohibited Uses. You must not, and must ensure your End Users do not:
8.3.1. use the AI Features as the sole or primary basis for decisions that materially affect individuals, including decisions relating to employment, credit, insurance, housing, education, access to services, legal rights, or eligibility for material benefits or opportunities, or that otherwise affect individuals in any manner prohibited by Applicable Law;
8.3.2. use the AI Features to generate unlawful, harmful, misleading, or infringing content;
8.3.3. submit Sensitive Information or other regulated data to the AI Features except as expressly permitted by Thinkific in writing, including, without limitation, data subject to FERPA, GLBA, or financial data subject to similar regulatory requirements;
8.3.4. use Outputs generated by the AI Features as the sole basis for legal, medical, financial, or other professional decisions that produce significant effects on individuals; or
8.3.5. submit protected health information (as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA“)) to the AI Features unless you have executed a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA“) with Thinkific. You are solely responsible for determining whether a BAA is required and for ensuring compliance with HIPAA and any other applicable health data regulations. Thinkific disclaims all liability arising from or related to your submission of protected health information to the AI Features without a fully executed BAA in place or in violation of the terms of any such BAA
8.4. Usage Limits. Thinkific may impose reasonable usage limits on the AI Features to ensure fair use, system stability, and commercial viability, as detailed in the Agreement or applicable Order Form. Thinkific may modify usage limits on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or immediately, where necessary to protect system integrity or prevent service disruption.
8.4.1. THINKER Credits.
(a) THINKER credits are allocated as set out in the applicable Order Form. Credits are calculated monthly based on usage during the applicable billing period.
(b) If your usage exceeds the credits allocated in your Order Form in any billing period, overage fees will apply at the per-credit rate set out in your Order Form and will be billed in arrears, either on your next invoice or within 10 business days following the end of the applicable calendar month. Thinkific may modify credit allotments and overage rates upon 30 days’ prior written notice.(c) Unused credits do not carry over between billing periods unless otherwise specified in your Order Form.
8.5. Content Monitoring. Thinkific reserves the right to monitor, modify, or remove any AI-generated content. If Thinkific determines that such content violates this Addendum, the Agreement, or could potentially harm Thinkific’s reputation or other users, could subject Thinkific or any third party to liability, or could be fraudulent, Thinkific may, after providing you with notice and reasonable opportunity to remove or modify such content: (a) modify or remove the AI-generated content; or (b) if the violation is severe or repeated, suspend or terminate your access to the AI Features or your account in accordance with the Agreement. Thinkific may employ automated systems, including AI-based tools, to detect and flag potential violations; however, such systems are supplementary to, and do not replace, human review for content removal decisions.
9. Suspension. Thinkific may immediately and without prior notice suspend or disable AI Features if their use poses a security risk, violates Applicable Law, or breaches this Addendum or the Agreement.
10. Changes to Addendum. Thinkific may update this Addendum by posting an updated version of the Addendum at www.thinkific.com/legal and such updates will be effective upon posting.
11. Order of Precedence. If there is a conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, the Addendum controls unless expressly stated otherwise. If the Agreement includes Section 3.6 (AI Features), that section governs and this Addendum does not apply.
12. Transition to Plus Terms of Service. This Addendum will automatically terminate and be superseded by Section 3.6 of the Thinkific Plus Terms of Service (as updated from time to time) upon the earlier of: (a) your execution of a renewal Order Form that incorporates the Plus Terms of Service containing Section 3.6; or (b) your written acceptance of the updated Plus Terms of Service. Upon such termination, all rights and obligations under this Addendum will be governed by Section 3.6 of the Plus Terms of Service, and this Addendum will be of no further force or effect.
