DronaHQ may suspend access to a DronaHQ-Managed LLM if it reasonably believes the Customer is in violation of the relevant LLM Policies. Where practicable, prior notice will be provided along with an opportunity to cure.


3. Customer Responsibilities

3.1 End User Input

The Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that End User Input submitted into AI-Enabled Applications is lawful, appropriate, and does not infringe any third-party rights or Indian law. The Customer will not permit End User Input intended, or reasonably expected, to generate harmful, offensive, or illegal End User Output.

3.2 Compliance With Applicable Laws (India)

4.3 Customer’s Use of End User Output

DronaHQ does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, suitability, or appropriateness of any End User Output or Customer Agent behaviour. Outputs may include inaccuracies, incomplete information, offensive content, or legally problematic material.

The Customer shall independently evaluate and review End User Output, including by undertaking human supervision proportionate to the risk level of the AI-Enabled Application. Human review may include:

  • pre-deployment testing,
  • real-time oversight, or
  • periodic audits.

The Customer shall inform end users that AI-generated content may contain errors and should be independently verified.

To the fullest extent permitted under Indian law, DronaHQ shall not be liable for the Customer’s use, interpretation, or reliance on End User Output.

(a) any AI-Enabled Application or Customer Agent developed by the Customer;

(b) the Customer’s breach of these AI Terms or the DronaHQ-Managed LLM Policies; or

(c) DronaHQ’s processing of Agent Data in accordance with the Agreement.

The Customer shall not be liable under clause (a) to the extent the claim arises from DronaHQ’s own breach of the Agreement or its wilful misconduct.


6. AI Beta Features

DronaHQ may make available certain AI features on a trial, alpha, beta, preview, or experimental basis (“AI Beta Features”). AI Beta Features are provided strictly on an “as is” basis, without warranties of any kind, and without service-level or indemnity obligations.

DronaHQ may modify, discontinue, or revoke access to AI Beta Features at any time without liability. Such discontinuation may impact access to Customer Data associated with such features.

If AI Beta Features are made generally available, DronaHQ may require payment of applicable fees for continued use, subject to reasonable prior notice.
