Detailed terms governing the use of Everus AI tools and third-party AI services.
Important Notice
These Terms for AI Tools (these "AI Terms") supplement, are subject to and are governed by the Everus Terms of Use (the "Agreement"). These AI Terms apply specifically to your use of certain artificial intelligence tools and functionality that Everus makes available to users in connection with the Service and that you specifically opt into using ("AI Tools"). Any terms used in these AI Terms that are not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the Agreement.

2. Use of Third-Party AI Services
The AI Tools incorporate artificial intelligence services from third-party providers (each, a "Third-Party AI Service" and collectively, "Third-Party AI Services"). The Third-Party AI Services currently used by Everus in providing the AI Tools are:
OpenAI
Everus integrates OpenAI's models via API to provide natural language processing and text generation features, such as generating conversational responses, creating emails, automating customer support interactions, and assisting users with content editing and proofreading.
Use of OpenAI services is subject to the OpenAI Business Terms.

Everus integrates Anthropic's AI models via API to provide conversational AI and text generation features such as content creation, summarization, customer support automation, and interactive chat functionality.
Use of Anthropic services is subject to the Anthropic Terms of Service.

3. Rights Granted to Everus
You grant to us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, process, and transmit User Data solely for the purpose of facilitating your use of the AI Tools and as otherwise set forth in these AI Terms and the Agreement. For clarity, neither Everus nor any Third-Party AI Service will use User Data to train any machine learning models.

User Data will only be processed by Third-Party AI Services for the purpose of fulfilling your AI Tool requests. Such processing is subject to the principle of data minimization; i.e., only the data necessary for each specific AI request will be transmitted. User Data is not used for any other purpose and is not retained beyond the processing session.
