What it is

The terms disclaim all warranties for AI-generated Output, assign full responsibility for Input and Output use to the user, and exclude TikTok's liability for any harm arising from reliance on Output. Users are directed not to rely on Output as a source of truth, professional advice, or basis for decisions related to health, finance, or law.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision places the entire operational risk of generative AI feature use on the user, including consequences from acting on inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading Output. The disclaimer covers health, finance, and legal decision contexts explicitly, which are domains where harmful reliance is most likely to have significant real-world consequences.

If You Do Nothing

Users who act on AI-generated Output bear full consequences of that reliance under the terms as written, with no recourse against TikTok for Output-based harms, except as required by applicable law.

Due to the inherent limitations of generative AI, Output you generate may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, objectionable, inappropriate, unlawful, and unfit for a particular purpose, and by using the Platform, including its generative AI-enabled features, you recognize and assume this risk. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF... ANY ACTIONS TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON OUTPUT.
