4. AI AND MACHINE LEARNING OUTPUTS

Nature of AI Outputs

The Offerings include artificial intelligence features, including large language model based question and answer functionality, automated document analysis, automated quantity and overlay estimation, citation and retrieval features, document correction features, calendar enrichment features, dynamic per-project accounting document generation, and generative knowledge responses, collectively AI Outputs. AI Outputs are produced by statistical models trained on construction industry sources, public web content, and Monster proprietary data. They are not authored by Monster employees and do not represent professional advice. AI Outputs derived from Google API Data are returned only to the user whose Google account was the source of the data.

Inherent Limitations

You acknowledge that AI Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or fabricated. AI systems can produce confident sounding statements that are factually wrong, reference standards or product specifications that do not exist, or misapply code provisions to conditions they do not govern. AI Outputs are estimation and reference tools. They are not authoritative determinations of code compliance, structural adequacy, material specification, or any other regulated matter.

No Reliance for Safety, Code, or Engineering Decisions

You shall not rely on AI Outputs for any decision involving life safety, structural design, code compliance verification, hazardous materials handling, electrical or gas work, fire protection, waterproofing in critical assemblies, or any other matter where error could result in injury, property damage, or legal liability. All AI Outputs touching these areas must be independently verified by a licensed professional and against current published codes, manufacturer documentation, and authority having jurisdiction requirements before use in any project decision.

User Approval of Edits to User-Created Content

Where Plan Monster features propose edits or additions to your existing documents, calendar events, or other Google API Data (including compliance documents, proposals, supporting workbooks, and calendar invites), Plan Monster surfaces each proposed change as a diff for your explicit approval before commit. You bear responsibility for reviewing each proposed change before approving it. Approving a change constitutes your authorization for Plan Monster to write the change to the user-created item. You may revert any committed change through the Plan Monster audit log. The corrected document or event remains your document, sent or scheduled under your authority. Plan Monster is not the author and is not the party submitting the corrected item to any third party.

Output Ownership and Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Monster grants you a non exclusive, royalty free license to use AI Outputs returned to you for your internal business purposes, including incorporating excerpts into project documents, estimates, and communications.

Monster retains all rights, title, and interest in the underlying models, prompts, training data, retrieval indexes, and the output generation process. AI Outputs derived from Google API Data are returned only to the user whose Google account was the source of the data and are not surfaced to other users, published, used for marketing, or used to train any model.

AI Outputs not derived from Google API Data are not unique to you. The same or substantially similar Outputs may be returned to other users in response to similar Inputs. You shall not assert exclusive ownership over any AI Output and shall not represent any AI Output as your own original authorship for purposes of copyright registration or licensing to third parties.

Restrictions on AI Outputs

You shall not use AI Outputs to train, fine tune, benchmark, evaluate, or develop any competing artificial intelligence system, knowledge engine, large language model, or retrieval product. You shall not represent AI Outputs as human authored expert opinion. You shall not use AI Outputs in any manner intended to mislead a customer, regulator, inspector, or counterparty as to the source of the information.

Restrictions on Model Probing and Extraction

You shall not, and shall not assist or permit any third party to:

• Extract, reconstruct, or infer model weights, parameters, architecture, system prompts, retrieval indexes, training data, or any other component of Monster's underlying AI systems
• Conduct systematic, automated, or large scale querying of AI features for the purpose of mapping model knowledge, behavior, capabilities, or limitations
• Attempt to bypass, manipulate, override, or expose safety guardrails, content filters, prompt structures, citation logic, or output controls through prompt injection, jailbreaking, adversarial inputs, or similar techniques
• Use AI Outputs as training data, fine tuning data, evaluation data, distillation targets, or retrieval corpus for any other artificial intelligence system, knowledge engine, or information product
• Test, benchmark, or evaluate the Offerings against competing systems for purposes of competitive analysis, public benchmarking, or product development
• Reverse engineer the relationship between Inputs and Outputs to derive Monster's proprietary methods, prompts, processing logic, or model selection
• Use any automated tool, agent, scraper, headless browser, or script to interact with AI features except through Monster's published API under a separate written agreement

Monster reserves the right to detect, log, rate limit, and terminate access for accounts engaging in any of the above behavior, and to pursue all available legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief and damages.

Third Party AI Providers

Monster uses third party model providers and infrastructure to power certain AI features. These providers process Inputs, User Content, Google API Data, and other data under data processing agreements that prohibit use of your data to train their public models. Google API Data is processed by these providers under their zero retention API tier, under which the provider does not retain the data beyond the duration of the API call. Monster may change providers at any time, with notice for material changes affecting Google API Data. Monster is not liable for the acts or omissions of third party AI providers beyond what Monster can recover under its agreements with them.

Bias and Quality

AI Outputs may reflect biases present in training data, including overrepresentation of certain manufacturers, regions, materials, or methods, and underrepresentation of others. Monster does not warrant neutrality, completeness, or balanced coverage across all trades, materials, jurisdictions, or perspectives.

Citations Within AI Outputs

AI Outputs may include citations attributing statements, methods, or product references to identifiable third parties, including contractors, designers, manufacturers, publications, and professional bodies. Citation behavior is governed by Section 5. Citations are sourced exclusively from publicly available sources and are not derived from Google API Data.

5. QUOTATIONS, CITATIONS, AND MARKETING

Public Sources and Trade Citations

The Offerings include features that surface attributable quotations and references from publicly available sources, including business reviews, trade publications, manufacturer directories, certification listings, podcast transcripts, professional association rosters, court records, and other lawfully accessible content. Citations are sourced exclusively from publicly available material. Google API Data is never used to generate, source, target, or inform citations. When the Offerings cite a third party, the citation is intended to accurately attribute the statement, method, or selection to the public source from which it was obtained.

You acknowledge that the operation of a construction knowledge engine necessarily involves the citation of identifiable trade professionals, businesses, and publications. Monster relies on principles of fair use, accurate attribution, and the public nature of cited sources in operating these features.

Notice and Correction

If you are quoted, named, or referenced in the Offerings and believe the citation is inaccurate, misattributed, taken out of context in a materially misleading way, or sourced in violation of applicable law, you may submit a correction or removal request to hello@planmonster.com. Monster will review legitimate requests in good faith and will respond within thirty days.

Monster will correct factual errors and address misattributions. Submission of a request does not create an obligation to remove accurate quotations of statements made in publicly available sources.

User Submissions to the Public Knowledge Engine

If you submit a question, answer, review, comment, or other content intended to be displayed to other users of the Offerings, you grant Monster the rights set out in Section 3 plus an additional right to display your name, business name, trade, location, and any verifiable credentials alongside your contribution, both within the Offerings and in marketing materials referencing the Offerings. Content accessed through Google APIs is not "submitted" by you within the meaning of this section and will never be displayed to other users, used in marketing materials, or surfaced outside your own account.

Marketing and Promotional Use

You agree that Monster may use your name, business name, logo, trade designation, location, and any non confidential statements you have made in public reviews, public testimonials, public interviews, or directly to Monster, in marketing, sales, investor, partner, and product communications. Permitted uses include display on the Offerings themselves, in case studies, in cited search results made available to other users, in email and outbound communications, on social media accounts operated by Monster, and in pitch and partnership materials.

Monster does not use User Content, Inputs, or Google API Data in marketing materials. Statements you have made inside Gmail, Drive, or any other Google service are not considered "publicly available" or "non confidential" for purposes of this section, regardless of any sharing settings on the underlying message or file.

You may opt out of named marketing use other than accurate quotation of statements you have made in publicly available sources by sending written notice to hello@planmonster.com. Opting out does not require Monster to remove accurate quotations of your publicly available statements, which Monster relies on under principles of fair use, accurate attribution, and the public nature of the source.

Customer Testimonials and Direct Statements

Statements you provide to Monster directly, including through customer interviews, surveys, support communications, sales calls, beta program participation, and feedback channels, may be used by Monster in marketing materials with attribution to your business name and trade unless you specify otherwise in writing at the time of providing the statement. If you wish to provide a statement on background or off the record, you must say so at the time you make the statement.

Right of Publicity

For United States users, you grant Monster a license to use your name, business name, and business identifiers consistent with the rights granted in this Section. This license does not extend to use of your photographic likeness, voice recording, or video without separate written consent.

Outbound Notification of Citations

Monster operates a feature that notifies trade professionals when their public statements have been cited in AI Outputs returned to other users. This feature is sourced exclusively from publicly available material and does not access or rely on Google API Data. Recipients of citation notifications are identified through public web sources, not through any Plan Monster user's connected Gmail or other Google account. Receipt of such a notification does not constitute creation of a Monster account, does not obligate the recipient to engage with the Offerings, and does not transfer any rights between Monster and the recipient. Recipients may opt out of further notifications by following the unsubscribe instructions in the notification.

Third Party Quotations You Submit

You shall not submit content to the Offerings that quotes, paraphrases, or attributes statements to a third party in a way that you do not have the right to share. You are responsible for ensuring that any third party content you submit complies with applicable copyright, defamation, trade secret, and right of publicity laws. You will indemnify Monster for any claim arising from third party content you submit, in addition to and not in limitation of Section 9.

6. GOOGLE API DATA

This Section governs all data accessed by the Offerings through Google APIs, including without limitation Gmail message content and metadata, Google Drive file content and metadata, Google Sheets content and metadata, and Google Calendar event content and metadata, collectively Google API Data.
