When you interact with an enabled Plugin, the Online Services will share relevant parts of your Content and other necessary details (which could include some location information) ("Plugin Data") to the Plugin. By enabling a Plugin, you authorize us to send your Plugin Data to the relevant third-party, which will handle it according to its terms. We are not responsible for Plugin Data after it has been sent to a Plugin that we do not own. The Plugin will process your request and return information and content ("Plugin Output") via the Online Services. The information and content included in the Plugin Output is not owned by you or Microsoft, and may be subject to the terms of the Plugin.

8. **Custom GPTs.** Copilot may include customized versions of the Conversational Experiences ("Custom GPTs"), created using instructions, prompts, data, and information provided by third parties ("Third Party GPTs"). Microsoft may also offer customized versions of Conversational Experiences created by Microsoft. Unless a Custom GPT is expressly identified as a Microsoft product, that Custom GPT may have been created by a third party and may incorporate third party content, instructions, or data that is not owned or controlled by Microsoft. You may find information about the creator of a Custom GPT under the name of every Custom GPT. Third Party GPTs created by other users may be shared with you. You should only open and use Third Party GPTs from sources you trust. You are solely responsible for your interactions with Third Party GPTs, which may be independently developed by third parties not affiliated with Microsoft. Your use of Third Party GPTs may expose you to content you find offensive, inappropriate, or objectionable. If you encounter a Third Party GPT or content generated from a Third Party GPT that violates this Agreement or the Code of Conduct, please submit a report using the Report a Concern Form. Third Party GPTs may contain advertising. Microsoft may remove, suspend, or disable access to Third Party GPTs at any time without prior notice, and users may remove or delete their Third Party GPTs at any time without prior notice.

If you are a Copilot Pro subscriber your use of the Online Services is governed by this Agreement, the Microsoft Services Agreement, and the Image Creator from Designer Terms as described in paragraph 1. Conversational Experiences may be integrated in other services/software applications you may use that are separately licensed to you. For example, Microsoft 365 Family or Microsoft 365 Personal subscriptions are separately licensed under the terms at [https://www.microsoft.com/useterms](https://www.microsoft.com/useterms). Conversational Experiences such as Word Copilot, PowerPoint Copilot and Outlook.com Copilot that are accessible in separately licensed products are governed by these Terms.

1. **Custom GPT Builder.** Copilot Pro subscribers may create Custom GPTs using the custom GPT builder feature. All information (including the GPT name and description), instructions, knowledge, documents, and data that you provide to create a Custom GPT must comply with the Code of Conduct and shall not infringe, facilitate, or promote the infringement of any third party right (including copyright, trademark, and publicity rights) or any illegal or harmful activity. You may not imply that Microsoft, any of its affiliates, or its third-party partners created, endorsed, or approved your Custom GPT. You may not make misleading or false statements concerning the development, endorsement, affiliation, or creation of a Custom GPT. You may not create Custom GPTs primarily targeted toward minor children or intended to appeal primarily to minor children. You are responsible for ensuring that your Custom GPT complies with these Terms and the Code of Conduct.

Microsoft, in its sole discretion, may review, suspend, block publication, limit access, remove, or terminate access to GPTs you create at any time without notice to you based on your breach of this Agreement (including failure to comply with the Code of Conduct), if we suspect you are engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity, or if your Microsoft account is suspended or closed by us or by you. You may appeal such decisions as set forth below in the "Access Restriction and User Appeal" section of these Terms. Custom GPTs may contain third party advertising. You will not be remunerated or owed any compensation for any such advertising that may appear in Custom GPTs. If you elect to share your Custom GPT, the name associated with your Microsoft account as well as any sensitive or personal data or other information, data, or documents you upload or input to your GPT may be publicly available or shared with recipients of your GPT link, Microsoft affiliates and/or third-party partners.
