Content Generation Terms
Effective Date: February 26, 2024
The Services may include features to assist you in the generation of text, image or other content (such features, “Content Generating Features”).
These Content Generation Terms, along with our Terms of Service and any policies or other legal terms referenced herein or therein, apply to your access to and use of Content Generating Features. These Content Generation Terms are incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service. Any capitalized terms (or lowercase terms specifically defined in our Terms of Service) not defined in these Content Generation Terms have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Service or Product Specific Terms. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Content Generation Terms, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency, the rest of the Agreement shall govern, followed by these Content Generation Terms. If you have any comments or questions about these Content Generation Terms, feel free to contact us.
1. Content Generating Features. The Content Generating Features enable you to provide text or other User Content (“Input”) and receive text, images or other generated content (“Output”) in return. Input may include User Content from Your Site and details about the style, tone and nature of Your Site (your “Brand Identity”). Your Brand Identity may be auto-generated on your behalf, and may be used by you to ensure the returned Output more accurately matches the style, tone and nature of the User Content on your site. Your use of Output is subject to your compliance and the compliance of the Output with these Content Generation Terms and our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and the rest of the Agreement. If you add Output to Your Site, including in editor mode or a published version of Your Site, such Output is your User Content and is subject to the provisions relating to User Content in our Terms of Service.
2. Warning about Content Generating Features. Artificial intelligence software which generates content is a new and emerging technology. Output may be inaccurate, strange, or not fit for use or purpose. Additionally, Output may not be unique, whether across all Squarespace users or other users of content generating software provided by AI Software Service Providers (as defined below). For example, if you and another user provide the same or similar Input, you may receive the same or similar Output. Even if Output received by someone other than you is the same as Output received by you: (a) only the Output received by you is your User Content; and (b) the similar Output received by someone other than you is their User Content.

3.2. Ownership of Input and Output.
