THOUGHT INDUSTRIES tia SERVICE (โ€œtiaโ€)

Acceptable Use Policy

Context

This Acceptable Use Policy (โ€œAUPโ€) is a straightforward, concise approach to mitigating potential risks of using tia in inappropriate, unintended, and unacceptable settings or in industries that are unaligned with the true purpose and contractually permitted use of tia. It is not Thought Industriesโ€™ final AUP or comprehensive approach to product policy, and it will be subject to on-going revision and updating, as further refinements to tia are implemented.

Thought Industries, Inc. (โ€œTIโ€) currently has no staff dedicated to overseeing and enforcing this policy and potential violations will be handled reactively; further, it is the duty of each TI customer to provide this AUP to authorized users of tia, and provide reasonably necessary instructions and prohibitions to its users.

Scope

The Policy below assumes tia is provided primarily on a B2B-basis, with TIโ€™s customers operating as organized businesses, which then permit their authorized users to access tia.

Policy
