What it is

OpenAI makes no guarantees that ChatGPT or other services will be accurate, error-free, or always available, and users rely on AI-generated outputs at their own risk.

This analysis describes what OpenAI's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The terms disclaim all warranties on AI-generated outputs and service availability, which places reliance risk entirely on users and is particularly significant for users who use AI outputs in professional, medical, legal, or financial contexts.

Interpretive note: The exact disclaimer language was not directly extractable from the corrupted PDF; the provision reflects the known warranty disclaimer language in OpenAI's publicly referenced Terms of Use.
