We may also use Customer Content/ Output generated using your Customer Content for the purpose of supporting and developing and further improving the Services. This term and the rights and licenses granted hereunder do not apply to enterprise customers, who are subject to a separate set of terms and conditions specifically tailored to enterprise agreements.
