Terms of Use for Scoot Generative AI-Powered Features

Version Effective Date: 26 September 2024

These Terms of Use apply to the conversational experience on, and your use of any Artificial Intelligence ("AI") powered generative experiences ("Services") on Scoot Airlines platforms, which may include but is not limited to Services on the Scoot Airlines web site, mobile application, or offered by Scoot Airlines on third-party platforms, websites or applications that Scoot Airlines has been integrated with (collectively, "Websites"), including experiences such as the search engine ("Search Engine") and M.A.R.V.I.E. Chatbot Service ("MARVIE").

The Services are intended to assist with providing generative AI functionality for users of Scoot Airlines Websites. By using any of the Services, you agree to the terms below:

1. Using the Services

The Services allow you to submit text inputs (“Input”) and text and image content output (“Output”) will be generated based on the Input. Input and Output are collectively “Content”. By using the Services, you confirm that you understand and agree to these Terms of Use. You must use the Services and the generated Content only (i) in a lawful manner and in compliance with all applicable laws; (ii) in accordance with these Terms of Use, or other documentation directed to the Services; (iii) in a manner that does not infringe or attempt to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any rights of Scoot Airlines or its affiliates (collectively, “Scoot”).

You may cease use of the Services at any time. If you do not wish to use the Services, you may choose not to utilise or engage with the Search Engine, MARVIE or any other AI-powered features on the Websites.

2. Ownership Rights

(a) The Content. All Content and materials within the Services (except Content which you provide), including but not limited to text, images, charts, forms, and logos, are the exclusive property of Scoot or licensed parties. Use of the aforesaid Content and materials without prior written approval from Scoot or relevant parties constitutes copyright infringement and other intellectual property rights violations, as the case may be.

(b) Similarity of Content. Due to the nature of machine learning, the Output may not be unique across users and the Services may generate the same or similar Output for other users. Other users may also ask similar questions and receive the same, similar or different responses.

(c) Use of Content to Improve Services. Scoot may use Content that you provide to or receive to develop or improve the Services. If you do not wish for Scoot to use Content that you provide for this purpose, you may choose not to utilise or engage with the Search Engine, MARVIE or any other AI-powered features on the Websites.

(d) Accuracy. AI and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. Scoot is constantly working to improve the Services to make it more accurate, reliable, safe and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of the Services may in some situations result in: (i) incorrect Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts or which is not applicable to your Input; or (ii) Output which does not precisely meet your expectations. This is the case even for Outputs generated after the Services determine that they are unable to generate appropriate Output based on your Input, and prompts you to rephrase your Input. You should evaluate the accuracy and sufficiency of any Output as appropriate for your use case, including by using human review of the Output. You should not use any Output for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on a person and which requires professional expertise, such as making decisions on medical-related issues or in emergencies.
