AI Visualizer add-on contains the limited usage right to Stable Diffusion artificial intelligence software according to its applicable license terms available at https://github.com/easydiffusion/stable-diffusion/blob/main/LICENSE-MODEL.
8.1.4.1. IP rights related to inputs, outputs. Except as set forth herein, Graphisoft claims no rights in the output You generate with AI. You are accountable for the output You generate with the help of the AI and its subsequent uses. No use of the output can contravene any provision as stated in this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Graphisoft does not claim ownership to, and You have the license/ownership rights related to all inputs. Graphisoft may store and use, for development purposes, Your AI-related usage patterns, activities, and input. You are solely responsible for the input You give while using the AI, therefore Graphisoft will not be liable for use and storage of personal data in case of intentional or unintentional inclusion of personal data in the input. Subject to Your compliance with this Agreement, Graphisoft hereby assigns to You all its rights, titles and interests in and to the output. This means You can use Your AI-related inputs and outputs (AI-related Content) for any purpose - except as specified in Section 8.1.4.2. below - if You comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You are responsible for all the AI-related Content, including for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or this Agreement in any way.
8.1.4.2. Similarity of AI-related Content. Due to the nature of machine learning, AI output may not be unique among all users and the add-on/service may generate the same or similar output for other users. Other users may also enter similar input and receive the same or similar output. Responses (outputs) that are requested by and generated for other users are not considered your AI-related Content. Graphisoft does not warrant that the AI will produce non-infringing, unique solutions for all users.

8.1.4.3. Accuracy of inputs, outputs. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of the AI Visualizer add-on may in some situations result in incorrect, inaccurate or unreliable output that does not accurately reflect real places or provide legally, technically or economically feasible solutions. AI can neither check the accuracy of Your input. It is Your responsibility and expense to evaluate and check the accuracy of any input and output as appropriate for your use case, including by using human review of the input and output.
8.1.4.5. Limited warranty. Graphisoft does not provide any warranty, express or implied, regarding the sources on which the AI was trained, including their ethical and lawful nature. Furthermore, Graphisoft does not offer warranties for the output created by the AI using AI Visualizer add-on or service, encompassing considerations such as general quality, appearance, and content of the output, usability, compliance with applicable regulations, adherence to industry standards (e.g., structural integrity), and non-infringement of copyright, particularly if an Archicad model is generated from the output. In light of these considerations, Graphisoft recommends using the AI for inspiration purposes only and does not guarantee any specific results.
8.1.5. Updates and runtime restrictions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Graphisoft reserves the right to restrict (remotely or otherwise) usage of the AI Visualizer add-on in violation of this Supplement, update the AI Visualizer add-on through electronic means, or modify the output of the AI Visualizer add-on based on updates.

PART B: SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELEVANT TO SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE
In case you have purchased a subscription license, the specific terms and conditions thereof are set out in the Terms of Service ("TOS") made available to You by the Graphisoft Partner from whom you purchase, or in case of purchasing directly from Graphisoft made available to you during your purchase on Graphisoft Store (https://shop.graphisoft.com) or Graphisoft Legacy Store (https://store.graphisoft.com, collectively called "Graphisoft Store". The terms and conditions applicable to your Subscription(s) herein below constitute an inseparable part of this Agreement. In case of any discrepancies between the provisions hereinafter and the TOS applicable to Your Subscription, the provisions of the TOS shall prevail.

For the purposes of this Section, the following terms shall bear the meaning defined herein below:
1.1. "Administrator" means the role automatically generated for Customer either during the process of purchasing Subscription at the first time or during the creation of the Graphisoft ID Company as part of another process in Graphisoft's systems if it happened earlier than the first purchase of Subscription. The Administrator is responsible for inviting to or disconnecting Members from the Graphisoft ID Company. The Administrator manages Members' access to license(s) of the Software on the License Management Portal, thus he/she has access to all licenses assigned to Members. In the case of BIMcloud Subscription the Administrator sets and manages the permission(s) of the Members within Customer's BIMcloud Tenant. The Administrator role can be transferred to another Member.
1.2. "Affiliate" means any person, corporation or other entity or association which, directly or indirectly: (i) controls, is under common control with or is controlled by Graphisoft or (ii) in which equity or voting interests are owned, directly or indirectly, legally, or beneficially, by Graphisoft or its affiliates as defined in (i) above.

An Internet connection is regularly required to operate a cloud license. This means that Users can continue to use the licensed Software even when they are not connected to the Internet, although this offline use is subject to a predefined time limit as specified in Section 5.2. hereinafter. The licensing mechanism periodically checks the User's entitlement to access the Software and ensures that the terms and conditions specified in the relevant license agreements are met. This periodic validation serves two main purposes: first, it allows Graphisoft to ensure that the User's Subscription(s) or Software license(s) is(are) active and up-to-date, and second, it allows Graphisoft to monitor and control the use of the Software to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.
1.9. "Content" means any and all information and data uploaded, downloaded, made available or shared, via or related to any of the Software, by the Customer, its Members or Graphisoft, including but not limited to Software project files, backups, Member accounts and settings in the Software.

For clarities sake, Customer includes any third parties, engaged by Customer, purchasing, and accessing the Subscription on behalf of the person or entity named as Customer (such as for example the Graphisoft Partner engaged by the customer for the purposes of carrying out the purchase on the Graphisoft Store).
1.12. "Graphisoft ID Company" means the Customer's account in the Graphisoft ID system. The Graphisoft ID Company settings are an extension of the Graphisoft ID settings of individual Users/Members who belong to the Customer. Each Customer needs and may use only one Graphisoft ID Company for purchasing and managing Subscription(s) on the Graphisoft Store.
1.13. "License Management Portal" means the portal that manages the following tasks according to the Member's rights: checking license status, license assignment to an individual Member and license revocation from a Member and releasing license from a device remotely.

It is applicable only for the BIMcloud Subscription or any other type of Subscription consisting of Software with Content Storage functionality.
1.19. "Renewal" means the automatic or manual extension of a Subscription for subsequent time periods equivalent to the Subscription Term unless terminated in accordance with Section 11.
