We may update or amend these Terms from time to time. Material changes will become effective 30 days after we post the revised Terms, and we may notify you (via e-mail or in-app notice) of such material changes. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you object to the revised Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using the Services before they take effect.

i. Opt-Out Default. Customer acknowledges that Inference Data may be retained by Salus and (after anonymization or aggregation) incorporated into Salus’ internal model-training pipelines unless Customer disables such feature via toggle on the Platform, or notifies Salus in writing.

Customer will not submit to any AI Feature: (i) personal information that is unnecessary for the stated purpose, (ii) data it is not legally authorized to process or transmit cross-border, or (iii) content that infringes third-party intellectual-property rights.
