Imposes a restriction on both parties by waiving the right to jury trial and prohibiting participation in class actions, collective actions, private attorney general actions, or other representative proceedings, applicable to all users regardless of purpose.

" Similarity of content. Due to the nature of artificial intelligence, outputs may not be unique, and different users may receive similar output from our Service. Your rights to the Output do not extend to other's rights."
This segment limits the user's ownership rights in Output by noting that outputs may not be unique and that a user's rights do not extend to similar outputs received by other users, restricting the scope of any proprietary claim in generated content.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" User Content: You may provide personal information in prompts and other content you input, such as files, images, audio, voice, video, and other material (“Input”).

This segment grants xAI permission to access, use, and store information from third-party login services (Google, Apple, X), including credentials and access tokens, and describes the optional user-initiated opt-in to import X profile data (date of birth, location, preferences, post history), constituting a data collection and use authorization.

" Do Not Track: Please note that because the effect of "Do Not Track" signals remains unclear, and because there continues to be no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to such a signal, we do not alter our privacy practices when we detect a "Do Not Track" signal from your browser."
This segment disclaims any obligation to honor 'Do Not Track' browser signals, stating that xAI does not alter its privacy practices in response to such signals due to the lack of consistent industry standards and unclear effect, limiting user expectations about tracking controls.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Technical Data: Technical data includes information such as your IP address, device type, country from which you access, analytics information, browser type and version, browser plug-in types and versions, and operating system.

" Accuracy. Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and is probabilistic in nature; therefore, it may sometimes: a) result in Output that contains “hallucinations,” b) be offensive, c) not accurately reflect real people, places or facts, or d) be objectionable, inappropriate, or otherwise not suitable for your intended purpose."
This segment disclaims accuracy of AI-generated Output, warning users that outputs may contain hallucinations, be offensive, fail to reflect facts accurately, or be otherwise unsuitable, thereby limiting xAI's representations about Output quality.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Output may not always be accurate. Output from our services is not professional advice. You should conduct your own thorough research and should not rely on Output as the truth."
This segment disclaims that Output is not professional advice and may be inaccurate, instructing users to conduct independent research, thereby limiting xAI's liability for reliance on generated content.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
" Our Service may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent xAI's views. Outputs are not meant to endorse a person or third-party's views."

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE XAI INDEMNITEES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE."

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE."
Caps xAI's aggregate financial liability to the user at the greater of the amount the user paid or one hundred US dollars, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, applicable under any theory of liability.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- EST Limitation of Liability.
