Output may not always be accurate. the Client must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them. Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent CoSupport’s views. If Output references any third party products or services, it does not mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with the Services. The Client is solely responsible for all use of the Outputs and evaluating the Output for accuracy and appropriateness for its use case, including by utilizing human review as appropriate, if and when such a feature is available within the Services.
