Effective Date: February 21, 2025
This Addendum supplements and forms part of the WorkCast Terms and Conditions (available at https://info.workcast.com/terms-conditions) and applies to your use of the WorkCast AI Content Generation Service (the “AI Service”). By using the AI Service, you agree to be bound by this Addendum in addition to the standard Terms and Conditions. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Terms and Conditions. In case of conflict between this Addendum and the Terms and Conditions, this Addendum shall prevail with respect to the AI Service.
1. Description of the AI Service
The AI Service enables customers to generate new content (e.g., summaries, derivative works, or other outputs) by processing Customer-provided materials, including live webinar or webcast presentations, uploaded slides, videos, and other data entered by you (“Customer Content”), through a third-party artificial intelligence platform provided by OpenAI (the “AI Provider”). The generated content (“AI-Generated Content”) is made available to you via the WorkCast platform.
2. Customer Content License and Consent
2.1 Grant of License: By submitting Customer Content to the AI Service, whether through live presentations or uploaded materials, you grant WorkCast and its subprocessors (including the AI Provider) a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to access, process, reproduce, adapt, and transform such Customer Content solely for the purpose of providing the AI Service and generating AI-Generated Content for your use.
2.2 Retention: This license terminates when the AI Service completes processing your Customer Content, except as required to comply with applicable law or as outlined in Section 7 of the Terms and Conditions (Data Retention).
2.3 Live Presentations: For live webinars or webcasts, you acknowledge that real-time audio, video, or other data presented by you may be processed by the AI Service as Customer Content.
2.4 Explicit Consent & Data Privacy: By enabling the AI Service, you explicitly consent to your Customer Content being processed by OpenAI, including transfers to the United States or other jurisdictions where OpenAI operates, subject to their terms and applicable data protection laws. WorkCast and its subprocessors, including OpenAI, process Customer Content in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to GDPR, UK GDPR, and the UK-U.S. Data Bridge.

4.3 No Guarantee & Accuracy Disclaimer: AI-Generated Content is provided on an "as-is" basis and may contain factual inaccuracies or unintended biases. WorkCast does not guarantee that AI-Generated Content will be original, non-infringing, or free from errors, as it depends on the Customer Content and the AI Provider’s technology. Users are responsible for reviewing AI-Generated Content before reliance or publication and ensuring compliance with applicable intellectual property laws.

6. Indemnification
