Bonterms now marks v1.0 as an older version, so check whether the parties would rather use its Standard AI Addendum v2.0. It is US-drafted and cross-refers to the Bonterms Cloud Terms, so localise it before using it under Australian law; use the customer-side AI addendum where the customer needs stronger protection. ## How AI may be used AI may help select options and map the clauses to the main agreement's defined terms. A lawyer chooses the training, ownership and infringement options and settles the Australian localisation. **AI may:** - Map each Bonterms defined term and cross-reference (for example, Section 9.1 and Section 22.10 of the Bonterms Cloud Terms) to the equivalent clause in the client's main agreement. - Compare the selected options with the client's AI playbook and list gaps. - Produce a clean version with the chosen options for the lawyer to check. **AI must not:** - Must not alter the reproduced text and still describe it as the Bonterms text; mark any changes as changes. - Must not select the training or infringement options; those are commercial and legal decisions. - Must not upload the counterparty's draft to a tool that trains on inputs. **The lawyer checks:** - Cross-references and defined terms work with the main agreement. - The disclaimer in clause 6 does not purport to exclude non-excludable ACL guarantees, and the terms are not unfair in a standard form small business contract. - The training option chosen is consistent with the customer's privacy notices and APP 6. ## Authorities - [Bonterms AI Standard Clauses (Version 1.0), CC0 1.0](https://bonterms.com/forms/ai-standard-clauses-version-1-0) - [Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) Sch 1, APP 6 (use and disclosure, including secondary use for AI training)](https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A03712/latest/text) - [OAIC, Guidance on privacy and the use of commercially available AI products (October 2024, updated January 2025)](https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/privacy-guidance-for-organisations-and-government-agencies/guidance-on-privacy-and-the-use-of-commercially-available-ai-products) - [Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) Sch 2 (Australian Consumer Law) ss 23–28, 64, 64A](https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A00109/latest/text) - [Telstra Corporation Ltd v Phone Directories Company Pty Ltd 2010 FCAFC 149 (human authorship required for copyright)](https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/full/2010/2010fcafc0149) ## Official form [Official form](https://bonterms.com/forms/ai-standard-clauses-version-1-0) ## Where this comes from Reproduced from bonterms.com under CC0 1.0 (Bonterms AI Standard Clauses v1.0).
