7. Generated content

As between you and us, you own the release content Shipnote generates for you, and you are free to edit, publish and distribute it. You are responsible for reviewing generated content before publishing it. AI output can contain errors, so you should check it for accuracy and tone.

8. Third-party services

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Shipnote will not be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

12. Termination

You may stop using Shipnote and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or use the service in a way that risks harm to us or others.
