  • Generated Content: The content generated by our Service is for your personal use only and is not automatically shared with other users. You are solely responsible for the use of any generated content.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

  • Disclaimer: The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

The potential inaccuracy, vulgarity, or unexpected nature of generated content is acknowledged and accepted by you.
  • Limitation of Liability: In no event shall Jin Sensei, its affiliates, or its licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including without limitation, loss of profits or data) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service—even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
