model training
Latest stance: training permitted
“This paragraph applies when you use API keys provided by Cline rather than your own. You acknowledge and agree that in order to generate Output and provide the Service, Cline must transmit User Content, including your prompts, code snippets, and related data and information to third-party AI Model Providers. By using the Service, you expressly consent to Cline's transmission of User Content to such AI Model Providers for processing and to the receipt of Output from those AI Model Providers. User Content transmitted to AI Model Providers may be subject to that AI Model Provider's terms of service and privacy notices. While Cline may provide you with the policies of each AI Model Provider (including whether data is logged or used for model training), Cline is not responsible for errors or omissions in those representations. For clarity, AI Model Providers may use User Content for training unless you have explicitly opted out where such an option is offered by that AI Model Provider. Your relationship with AI Model Providers is indirect (such AI Model Providers consider Cline to be the direct customer) and you will not have a direct contractual relationship with those providers unless you separately establish one. However, you acknowledge and agree that Cline assumes no responsibility or liability for, and that Cline hereby disclaims all responsibility and liability arising from, the acts or omissions of AI Model Providers, including, without limitation, any User Content transmitted to, or Output received from, such providers.”

DUE TO THE NATURE OF MACHINE LEARNING, THE OUTPUT OF THE SERVICE MAY NOT BE UNIQUE ACROSS USERS AND THE SERVICE MAY GENERATE THE SAME OR SIMILAR OUTPUT FOR OTHER USERS. USE OF THE SERVICE MAY RESULT IN INCORRECT OUTPUT THAT DOES NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT REALITY. YOU MUST EVALUATE THE ACCURACY OF ANY OUTPUT AS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR USE CASE, INCLUDING BY USING HUMAN REVIEW OF THE OUTPUT. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE OUTPUT MAY BE INACCURATE, OBJECTIONABLE, INAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE UNSUITED TO YOUR PURPOSE, AND YOU AGREE THAT WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY ALLEGES TO INCUR AS A RESULT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OUTPUT OR OTHER CONTENT GENERATED BY OR ACCESSED ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE.”
