All personal data processing activities will be governed by the DPA in place between Intercom and Customer.

ePHI Data. Any Business Associate Agreement entered into between Customer and Intercom does not apply to Fin. Customer shall be solely responsible for any electronic protected health information (ePHI) submitted to Fin by Customer, and Intercom is not subject to any additional obligations that apply to such ePHI.
Inputs and Outputs. Questions, data, content or information submitted to Fin by or on behalf of Customer (including help center content provided and/or instructed to be used by Customer) (“Inputs”) and answers or other results generated by Fin based on such Inputs (“Outputs”) are deemed Customer Data under the Agreement and subject to the rights, restrictions and obligations applicable thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, third parties may submit information or materials that generate results that are identical or similar to Outputs (“Third-Party Results”), and Customer acknowledges it has no right, title or interest in or to any Third-Party Results.

- Customer will not, nor permit others, to: (i) use Fin to develop any models that compete with Intercom or Third Party LLM Provider or (ii) use any method to extract data, or infer information, from Fin or otherwise attempt to discover underlying components of Fin (e.g., models, algorithms, systems) (except to the extent such restrictions are contrary to applicable law).
Customer will be fully responsible for use of Fin (including any and all Inputs submitted) by any Permitted User and Person as if performed by Customer.
