This exclusion eliminates entire categories of damages that users might otherwise recover, regardless of how the harm arose or what legal theory is applied.
The updated terms state that the Company reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen, edit, or delete any user content at any time, for any reason, and without notice. The revised language also clarifies that while the Company does not claim ownership of user-submitted content, the Company retains ownership of the Services and the underlying technology used to generate Output. Additionally, the terms now specify that users must obtain license rights in their content to allow the Company to operate the Service without legal violations. The operational effect is that user content may be subject to removal at any time under the Company's sole discretion, and users should understand the distinction between their ownership rights in submitted content and the Company's ownership of the platform and generation technology.
