11.7. Although the Company will use reasonable endeavours to maintain the Content, the Company does not undertake to provide support or maintenance services for the Content.
11.8. The Customer acknowledges that Outputs may not be unique, exclusive or specific to the Customer, and that identical or similar Outputs may be generated for other customers or users.

13.1. The Customer acknowledges that the Company may collect, generate, process, retain and use logs, prompts, queries, Outputs, usage records, account information, technical data, metadata, diagnostic data, billing data and security data relating to the Customer Account, the Customer’s use of HKT.AI and AI Services for the purposes of providing, operating, administering, securing, monitoring, troubleshooting, improving, enforcing, billing for and auditing HKT.AI and related services, and for complying with legal, regulatory, contractual and internal governance requirements.

13.2. The Customer acknowledges that the Company may, but shall not be obliged to, monitor, access, examine, screen, remove any activity, content or material on HKT.AI and/or through the AI Services, including anything uploaded, posted, emailed or otherwise transmitted by a Customer. The Company may, in its sole discretion, investigate any actual or suspected breach of these Terms of Use, and for that purpose, may: (a) request any information or data from the relevant Customer in connection with the Customer’s use of the AI Services and/or access of HKT.AI; (b) report any activity suspected to violate any Applicable Laws to the appropriate authorities and cooperate with such authorities; and (c) exercise its rights under Clause 13 if the Customer fails to provide the requested information or data, or provides, or is reasonably suspected of providing, inaccurate, misleading or fraudulent information or data.

The availability, scope, retention period, visibility, exportability, deletion capability and functionality of any history records may be variable, incomplete, subject to technical limitations, affected by the Third Party AI Providers, and changed, suspended, disabled, restricted, deleted or discontinued by the Company at any time without liability. The Customer shall be solely responsible for managing any such history records made available under the Customer Account, including their retention, deletion, export and access control. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Company shall not be liable for any access to, reliance on, disclosure, loss, retention, deletion, modification, unavailability, incompleteness, unauthorised use or downstream processing of any history records arising from or relating to the Customer’s or any Authorised User’s use, configuration, sharing, export, deletion or failure to delete such records. The Company urges the Customer and the Authorised User to keep backup copies of Content the Customer inputs into HKT.AI.
13.5. The Company reserves its right to access, read, preserve and disclose any information (including the Customer’s identity) where the Company reasonably believes that such access, preservation or disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with any Applicable Laws, regulation, legal process, court order or request of any governmental or regulatory authority; (b) respond to user support requests; or (c) give effect to any investigation or action taken under Clause 13.2 or Clause 13.
14. Suspension, Restriction and Removal Rights
14.1. The Company may, without liability, suspend, restrict, throttle, disable, remove, block or refuse any Customer’s or Authorised User’s access to or use of HKT.AI, any AI Services, Content, Output, Credits or Customer Account if the Company reasonably considers that such action is necessary: (a) in connection with any actual or suspected breach of these Terms of Use or Applicable Laws; (b) to prevent, mitigate or respond to any unlawful, harmful, abusive, excessive, high risk, insecure or unauthorised use, security incident, cyber threat, system vulnerability, data breach or operational disruption; (c) to protect the integrity, security, availability or performance of HKT.AI, any AI Services or any related system, network or infrastructure; (d) to comply with Applicable Laws, legal process, court order, regulatory requirement or request of any governmental or regulatory authority; or (e) to comply with any requirement, restriction, suspension or withdrawal imposed by any Third Party AI Provider. For the avoidable of doubt, the Company may also restrict access to, or remove any Content or material where reasonably necessary for any of the purposes set out above.
15. Customer Indemnity
15.1. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, subcontractors and Third Party AI Providers from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, fines, penalties, claims, demands, actions and proceedings arising out of or in connection with (a) the Content, the Customer’s or any Authorised User’s use of HKT.AI, AI Services or Credits; (b) any breach of these Terms of Use; (c) any breach of Data Protection Laws or other Applicable Laws; (d) any infringement or alleged infringement of third party rights (including but not limited to the Intellectual Property Rights); (e) any unlawful, unauthorised, high risk or prohibited use; (f) any failure to obtain necessary notices, consents, licences, permissions, authorisations or lawful bases; or (g) any reliance on, publication, disclosure or downstream use of any Output.

17.1. The Customer represents and warrants that neither the Customer, nor any Authorised User, is prohibited or restricted from receiving or obtaining the equipment, software, or technology supplied under HKT.AI and AI Services, under any applicable export laws and regulations (“Export Laws”).

Furthermore, the Customer represents and warrants that neither the Customer, nor any Authorised User, is located, organized, or residing in any country or territory that is, or whose government currently is, the target of comprehensive sanctions imposed by OFAC (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the following disputed regions of Ukraine: Crimea, the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Luhansk People's Republic, collectively “Comprehensively Sanctioned Countries”. This list is subject to change without prior notice, and the obligations herein apply to any such changes that may occur). In no event shall the Company be held liable for failing to supply the Goods due to the prohibitions or restrictions related to Export Laws, Sanctions Lists, and/or Comprehensively Sanctioned Countries. The Customer will indemnify the Company and will hold the Company harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that the Company may incur by reason of any claim, suit, or proceeding arising from breach of these warranties.
