2. Databricks GenAI Indemnity.
(a) The following definition applies to this GenAI Indemnity:
(i) “Covered AI Service” means the following Databricks Services to the extent generally available and not provided by Databricks to Customer during a free trial period:
(1) The Databricks AI assistive features listed in the Documentation at https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/databricks-ai/
(2) Mosaic AI Model Serving to the extent used with generally available versions of foundation models from Databricks, Inc., Anthropic PBC, OpenAI, Inc., Google LLC, or Meta Platforms, Inc. that are hosted on and supported by Databricks (as described in the Documentation), provided:
a) such model was subject to a system prompt directing the model to prevent infringement of Intellectual Property Rights;
b) Customer used features of Mosaic AI Gateway (or a successor solution) including, at minimum, payload logging, usage tracking, and safety filtering; and
c) Customer conducted testing designed to detect third-party content in Output (e.g., guided red teaming, systematic measurement, or other equivalent approach) and provides records and results of such testing to Databricks in the event of a GenAI Claim.
(b) Databricks will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party to the extent that it alleges that Customer’s use of a text-based Output generated in connection with a Covered AI Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights (a “GenAI Claim”), and will indemnify Customer from and against any damages, attorney fees, and costs finally awarded against Customer to the extent they are based upon such GenAI Claim, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved in writing by Databricks resulting from such GenAI Claim. Databricks’ indemnification obligations for GenAI Claims are subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein.
(c) Databricks’ liability for GenAI Claims will not be subject to any damages cap under the Agreement.
(d) Databricks will have no obligation to defend or indemnify Customer hereunder with respect to third-party trademark (or related rights) claims or any GenAI Claim that arises from: (i) Output that Customer intended, knew or should have known is likely to infringe or misappropriate third-party Intellectual Property Rights, including through receipt of notice to stop using such Output prior to use of such Output; (ii) an Output or a Covered AI Service that has been fine-tuned, refined, customized, transformed or otherwise modified by Customer or at Customer’s direction; (iii) Output generated in connection with inputs or other data provided by Customer for which the Customer does not have the necessary rights to use; (iv) Customer’s use of the Databricks Services other than in accordance with the Documentation and the Agreement; or (v) a Covered AI Service for which Customer disregarded, disabled, or circumvented filters, instructions, or other tools Databricks makes available for the responsible use and creation of Outputs.
(e) As a condition to Databricks’ obligations under this GenAI Indemnity, Customer will: (i) promptly notify Databricks in writing of the claim for which Customer is seeking indemnification (but late notice will relieve Databricks of its obligation to indemnify only to the extent that it has been prejudiced by the delay); (ii) grant Databricks sole control of the defense (including selection of counsel) and settlement of the GenAI Claim; (iii) provide Databricks, at Databricks’ expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the GenAI Claim; and (iv) preserve and not waive legal, professional or any other privilege attaching to any of the records, documents, or other information in relation to such claim without prior written consent of Databricks. Databricks will not settle any claim in a manner that does not fully discharge the GenAI Claim against Customer or that imposes any obligation on, or restricts any right of, Customer without Customer’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This GenAI Indemnity states the entire obligation of Databricks and its licensors, and is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, under the Agreement with respect to any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of Intellectual Property Rights by any Outputs.
3. Intellectual Property.
(a) Customized Models. To the extent Customer uses the Platform Services to customize artificial intelligence models, Customer will have exclusive use of such customized models. Databricks will not access or use such customized models except as necessary to provide the Databricks Services to Customer or as required by applicable law.

(b) Subject to any restrictions expressly included in the Documentation, Databricks may collect and use Inputs and Outputs to develop, improve, operate, and support the Databricks Services only to the extent that such use (i) is solely for the benefit of Customer or (ii) does not identify Customer or disclose Customer Confidential Information to third parties.
