We will not publicly distribute or commercialize your User Content without your express permission.

5. AI DISCLAIMER & USER RESPONSIBILITY

Author AI generates text using large-language-model technology, which can produce inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise flawed output and may inadvertently resemble existing works. We make no warranty that generated text is original, accurate, or non-infringing.

TaterTapps disclaims all liability arising from your use or publication of generated content.
