Reassess provider and deployer roles against: What does the evidence support?
Substantial modification and changed intended purpose require contextual reassessment; contract labels alone cannot settle provider or deployer status.
The question
In the European Union, a customer-service company deploys a vendor’s applicable high-risk system under the vendor’s stated purpose, then substantially modifies it and changes the intended purpose. The contract calls the company only a buyer, while operational evidence shows the modified system is marketed under the company’s service. What does the evidence support?

- The contract alone fixes the company’s role as buyer.Commercial agreements do not override statutory role analysis when substantial modification or changed intended purpose may trigger different responsibilities.
- Reassess provider and deployer roles against the modification and purpose. ✓The evidence requires contextual role analysis because own modifications and changed intended purpose may affect provider responsibilities.
- The vendor remains solely responsible after every customer modification.A substantial modification or changed intended purpose can affect responsibilities, so vendor responsibility is not automatically exclusive.
- Assign every provider and deployer duty to both companies.The EU AI Act distinguishes roles and duties; assigning every obligation to both parties ignores the context-specific allocation.
The trap
Treat contractual labels as evidence, not conclusions; assess statutory roles from conduct, purpose, and modification. How to remember it
Substantial modification and changed intended purpose require contextual reassessment; contract labels alone cannot settle provider or deployer status.
