This provision establishes a secondary use right over Customer Data that extends beyond service delivery to product development and AI feature improvement, which procurement and legal teams should evaluate against the organization's own data protection obligations and applicable regulatory frameworks including GDPR purpose limitation requirements.
Interpretive note: The DPA incorporated by reference may narrow or condition the secondary use right, and its terms are not reproduced in this document; full assessment requires review of the DPA.
The updated agreement no longer includes language stating that a previously executed written agreement between Customer and W&B would govern and supersede the master service agreement. This removal eliminates explicit recognition of contractual hierarchy that may have applied to customers with signed agreements predating the master terms. The practical effect depends on whether such customers have separate agreements in place and how contract interpretation and applicable law would treat the relationship between a posted master agreement and a signed customer agreement absent explicit supersession language.

Users who were affected by or concerned about the prior restriction should review current documentation to confirm whether any geographic limitations remain in effect.
