Subscriber will make all payments of fees to Skyllful free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Skyllful will be Subscriber's sole responsibility, and Subscriber, if requested, will provide Skyllful with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as the Skyllful may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

During the term of this Agreement, each Party (the "Disclosing Party") may provide the other Party (the "Receiving Party") with certain information regarding the Disclosing Party's business, technology, products, or services or other confidential or proprietary information (collectively, "Confidential Information").

Regardless of whether so marked or identified, the Skyllful Service, Skyllful System or Documentation, and all enhancements and improvements thereto will be considered Confidential Information of Skyllful.
8.1A.Use of Artificial Intelligence.
(a)General Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted under Sections 8.1A(b) and 8.1A(c), Skyllful shall not use Subscriber Content, Subscriber Confidential Information, or any other data provided or made available by Subscriber ("Subscriber Information") to train, fine-tune, improve, or develop any artificial intelligence or machine-learning models. Skyllful shall not submit, upload, disclose, or otherwise expose Subscriber Information to any public or consumer-grade generative AI systems.
(b)AI-Assisted Processing of Subscriber Information With Prior Written Authorization.

(i)Subscriber Information shall not be used to train, fine-tune, improve, or otherwise modify any underlying AI or machine-learning models.
(ii)Only private, enterprise-grade, access-controlled AI systems may be used. Public or consumer AI systems shall not be used.

(iv)Subscriber Information shall not be disclosed to, or made available to, any third party other than the authorized enterprise AI provider operating under confidentiality protections no less protective than those set forth in this Agreement.
(v)AI-assisted processing shall be used solely to perform the Services for Subscriber and shall not be used for Skyllful's own product development, analytics, or internal model refinement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Skyllful may use artificial intelligence tools to generate scripts, simulations, videos, or other content that does not incorporate, ingest, or process Subscriber Information, including content developed for general training, instructional, or contextual purposes. Such use shall not require prior written authorization, provided that Subscriber Information is not used for model training or data ingestion. Where Subscriber authorizes Skyllful to use Subscriber-provided artificial intelligence tools, subscriptions, or API credentials, Subscriber remains responsible for the terms governing such tools.

In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party's request or upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party shall provide to the Disclosing Party a written affidavit certifying compliance with this sentence.
