5. AI-Generated Content

Websites, blog posts, and other content generated by the Service are created using artificial intelligence. While we strive for accuracy and quality, AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or content that does not perfectly reflect your business.

You are responsible for reviewing all generated content before publishing. We provide content editing tools for this purpose. We are not liable for any damages resulting from AI-generated content that you publish without review.

6. Your Content & Data

You retain ownership of all business information, images, and other content you provide to the Service ("Your Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to use Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you.

The AI-generated website content, layout, and copy produced by the Service are owned by you once generated. You may use this content for any lawful purpose.
