Rivvet implements general AI disclosure measures, but Client bears ultimate responsibility for jurisdictional compliance.
5. MONITORING & ENFORCEMENT
5.1 Monitoring.
Rivvet reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor Client’s use of the Services for compliance with this AUP. Rivvet may review AI Agent interactions, campaign data, and platform activity to detect potential violations.

Rivvet’s right to suspend or terminate does not limit any other remedy available under the MSA or applicable law.

To report suspected AUP violations by other clients or to report issues with AI Agent behavior, contact support@rivvetai.com.
6. CLIENT INDEMNIFICATION
Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rivvet from any claims, damages, fines, penalties, or liabilities arising from Client’s violation of this AUP, including but not limited to TCPA violations, CAN-SPAM violations, or unauthorized data processing, as more fully set forth in the MSA.
7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
Rivvet may update this AUP with thirty (30) days’ written notice to Client. Material changes will be communicated via email to the Client’s authorized contact. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the updated AUP.
