Outputs are provided without warranties and may be inaccurate, offensive, or similar to outputs generated for other users.

This provision extends the full content license framework, including the royalty-free sublicensable license for operating and developing Services, to all AI Feature Inputs and Outputs. The agreement also prohibits users from using Outputs to train, develop, or fine-tune external AI models or services, and from misrepresenting Outputs as human-generated.
Under this clause, any content submitted to or generated through Snap AI Features, including My AI, is subject to the same content license granted to Snap for all user-submitted content, and the agreement states that Outputs are provided as-is without warranties, meaning users bear the risk of reliance on inaccurate or misleading AI-generated content.

"All Inputs and Outputs will be treated for the purpose of these Terms as content you submit to the Services and accordingly any rights and licenses granted to us and obligations on you in respect of content submitted or made available by you in these Terms applies to Inputs and Outputs, including the licenses set out in 'Rights You Grant Us' above. We collect, use, disclose, and retain Inputs and Outputs in accordance with our Privacy Policy. While we integrate certain safeguards into AI Features, Outputs may not be reviewed in advance and may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, offensive, objectionable, inappropriate, infringing, unsuitable, unlawful, unfit for particular purposes, or the same or similar to content generated for other users of the Services. AI Features and Outputs are provided as-is and made available to you without representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.Excerpt from Snapchat's Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The collection, use, and retention of AI Inputs and Outputs engages applicable U.S. state privacy statutes, including the CCPA, with respect to personal information that may be contained within Inputs. The FTC has issued guidance on AI disclosures and unfair or deceptive practices related to AI-generated content. The EU AI Act may engage for users governed by the Snap Group Limited Terms of Service, though those users are subject to a separate agreement. COPPA may be implicated where minor users interact with AI Features. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The treatment of AI Inputs and Outputs as user-submitted content subject to the full content license creates significant exposure for enterprise or professional users who submit proprietary, confidential, or personally identifiable information as Inputs. The prohibition on using Outputs to train external AI models is an enforceable contractual restriction with operational implications for technology companies or researchers. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have CCPA rights with respect to personal information contained in AI Inputs. The scope of the as-is disclaimer for AI Outputs may be subject to implied warranty limitations under applicable state law. The prohibition on removing AI watermarks or disclosure labels may engage emerging state-level AI disclosure statutes. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations deploying Snap AI Features in a business context should assess whether Inputs contain confidential or proprietary information and whether the content license conflicts with existing data governance or intellectual property obligations. The separate terms applicable to AI Features used through Snap's business Services should be reviewed as a distinct compliance item. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Data mapping exercises should account for AI Inputs as a category of personal information submitted to Snap under the Privacy Policy. Acceptable use policies for organizational users should address the prohibition on using Outputs to train external AI systems. AI governance frameworks should document the as-is nature of Snap AI Outputs and the prohibition on reliance for professional, medical, legal, or financial decisions.
