Such third-party services are independently operated by their respective providers and are subject to their own terms; you understand and agree to the following allocation of responsibilities and applicable rules.
• Third-Party Large Language Models: Certain AI capabilities of the Platform (such as AI Intelligent Conversation, AI Intelligent Document Creation, AI Image Generation, and AI Poster Design) may invoke the underlying models of third-party large language model providers to perform inference; the output arising from such invocation is subject to the model policies and content restrictions of those providers, and we make no additional warranty as to the availability, response speed, or generated results of the underlying models.

• Open-Source Components: This service incorporates open-source software released under the corresponding open-source licenses (such as MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD, GPL, and others); such components are provided on the terms of their original licenses, and the relevant copyright notices and license texts are attached to the distribution or may be consulted through reasonable means; your use of such components shall also comply with their respective licenses.
• Applicability of Terms: When you use any third-party service, you shall be deemed to have been informed of and to have agreed to the terms of service and privacy policy of that third party; where such terms conflict with these Terms, the third party's terms shall prevail with respect to that third-party service, save that this shall not derogate from the rights you enjoy under mandatory law.
• Allocation of Responsibility: We are responsible only for the portion of the service we directly provide. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any inconvenience or loss arising from any change, suspension, termination, malfunction, fee adjustment, or policy restriction of a third-party service, but we shall use reasonable efforts to provide a substitute, effect a migration, or give notice.

• Suspension and Extension of Performance: Performance of the obligations affected by force majeure shall be suspended for the duration of the impediment, and the corresponding time period shall be extended accordingly; where the force majeure continues such that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, either party may terminate the affected portion in accordance with law, and no refund shall be made for the portion of services already reasonably provided.
