What it is

The terms state that AI-generated outputs may be incorrect, biased, or incomplete, and the company disclaims liability for output accuracy and for third-party rights infringements arising from output use. The terms also state that other users may generate identical or similar outputs from similar inputs, and that such outputs can be used by those users for internal business purposes.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that Perplexity does not warrant the accuracy of AI-generated outputs and disclaims responsibility for third-party rights infringement arising from user reliance on those outputs. The acknowledgment that multiple users may receive identical outputs and may use them for internal business purposes has practical implications for users seeking unique or proprietary outputs.

"
You acknowledge that the Services may generate Output containing incorrect, biased, or incomplete information. The Company shall have no responsibility or liability to you for the infringement of the rights of any third party in your use of any Output. You should not rely on the Services or any Output for advice of any kind, including medical, legal, investment, financial or other professional advice. Any Output is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. You acknowledge that due to the nature of generative artificial intelligence tools, other users of the Services may create and use their own Output that is similar or the same as your Output, such as because the same or similar Input was provided, and you agree that such other users can use their own individually created Output for their own internal business purposes.
