This Notice informs users of Pitch Avatar and the audiences to whom they present Pitch Avatar content that they are interacting with, or are exposed to the output of, artificial intelligence systems, in accordance with Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the “AI Act”). It forms an integral part of the Terms of Use.

3. You are interacting with an AI system
3.1. The Chat-avatar and the other conversational features of the Service are artificial intelligence systems. When you, or an audience to whom Pitch Avatar content is sent, communicate with the Chat-avatar, you are interacting with software and not with a natural person.
3.2. That fact is disclosed at the start of every conversation with the Chat-avatar by a clear on-screen statement, by a persistent visual indication in the interface of the Chat-avatar, and in this Notice and in the Terms of Use. The disclosure is provided at the latest at the time of the first interaction, in a clear and distinguishable manner.
3.3. The Chat-avatar answers on the basis of the materials supplied by the user who deployed it. Its answers may be inaccurate or incomplete and do not constitute a statement, a commitment or advice given by ROIFORCIO.
4. AI-generated and AI-manipulated content
4.1. Outputs generated by the Service — synthetic audio, image, video and text — carry a machine-readable marking identifying them as artificially generated or manipulated, as described in the Synthetic Content Marking Policy.
4.2. Where the Service is used to create content resembling a real, identifiable person — for example a dubbed video, an avatar based on a real appearance or a cloned voice — the person deploying that content shall disclose to the audience that it has been artificially generated or manipulated, in accordance with Article 50(4) of the AI Act. ROIFORCIO provides the technical means enabling that disclosure; the legal responsibility for making it rests with the deployer.
4.3. The reproduction of the voice or the likeness of a natural person through the Service is permitted only with that person’s documented consent, under the conditions set out in the Acceptable Use Policy.
5. How the systems work and what they are not
5.1. The AI systems used in the Service are generative systems. Their outputs are probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for a particular purpose. Outputs should be reviewed before being used, published or relied upon.
5.2. Voice samples and facial images processed by the Service are used to generate the output requested by the user. They are not used to identify or authenticate any natural person and are not processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person.
5.3. The Service does not perform emotion recognition, biometric categorisation, social scoring or any other practice prohibited under Article 5 of the AI Act, and it is not supplied for use in a high-risk use case listed in Annex III to the AI Act, in particular in recruitment or in the evaluation of workers. Such use is prohibited under the Acceptable Use Policy without the prior written agreement of ROIFORCIO.
5.4. The Service does not take decisions producing legal effects concerning natural persons or similarly significantly affecting them, and does not carry out automated individual decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
6. Third-party AI
6.1. Certain generative capabilities are performed by third-party providers of general-purpose AI models, identified in the Privacy Policy. Those providers remain responsible for their own obligations under the AI Act at the level of the underlying model. ROIFORCIO remains the provider of the AI systems made available through the Service.
6.2. ROIFORCIO has contracted for the exclusion of the use of the content of its users for the training of models made available to other customers or to the public.
7. Human oversight and AI literacy
7.1. The Service is designed so that the user retains control over the generation, review, approval and publication of every output. No output is published to an audience without an act of the user.
7.2. ROIFORCIO maintains an internal AI Literacy Policy for its own staff. Users who deploy the Service within an organisation are required, under Article 4 of the AI Act as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, to take measures to support the development of AI literacy of the persons operating the Service on their behalf; that provision does not require them to guarantee any specific level of AI literacy of any individual.
8. Exceptions
8.1. The obligation to disclose interaction with an AI system does not apply where it is obvious from the circumstances and the context of use that a person is interacting with an AI system, nor where the use of the AI system is authorised by law to detect, prevent, investigate or prosecute criminal offences.
9. Applicable dates and changes
9.1. The transparency obligations under Article 50 of the AI Act apply from 2 August 2026. For AI systems placed on the market before that date, the obligation under Article 50(2) applies from 2 December 2026, in accordance with the transitional period introduced by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.
9.2. The prohibitions added to Article 5 of the AI Act by that Regulation apply from 2 December 2026. The obligations applicable to high-risk AI systems apply from 2 December 2027 (Annex III) and 2 August 2028 (Annex I).
9.3. This Notice is updated to reflect changes in the functionality of the Service, in the applicable law and in the technical standards adopted under the AI Act, in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 13 of the Terms of Use.
