YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICE IS CURRENTLY PROVIDED IN A "BETA" VERSION. THIS MEANS THE SERVICE IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, AND EVALUATION. THE SERVICE MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, AND DEFECTS. IT MAY BE UNSTABLE, EXPERIENCE DOWNTIME, AND FEATURES MAY BE ADDED, MODIFIED, OR REMOVED WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

4. USER INPUT AND GENERATED OUTPUT
a. User Input:
You retain ownership of the intellectual property rights in your original User Input. However, by submitting User Input to the Service, you grant Yoshka.ai a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your User Input solely for the purposes of:
- Operating, providing, maintaining, and improving the Service;
- Generating the Generated Output as requested by you;
- Developing new features and services;
- Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our policies;
- As otherwise described in our Privacy Policy (including potential use for model training, subject to the terms therein).
You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to submit the User Input and that your User Input does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws. Do not submit sensitive personal information, confidential information, or proprietary code that you are not authorized to share or license as described herein.
b. Generated Output:
Ownership: Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Section 4(b)(ii) below, Yoshka.ai hereby assigns to you all its right, title, and interest in and to the specific Generated Output created by the Service directly in response to your User Input.
Important Considerations & Limitations:
- Similarity: The Service uses AI and may generate the same or similar Output for you or other users based on similar or different User Inputs. Your ownership is only in the specific instance of Output generated for you and does not grant you exclusive rights to that Output if it is identical or similar to Output generated for others.
- Third-Party Rights: The Generated Output may contain code snippets, patterns, or structures derived from data the AI was trained on, which could potentially be subject to third-party licenses (including open-source licenses) or intellectual property rights. Yoshka.ai makes no representations or warranties regarding the originality, non-infringement, or suitability of the Generated Output.
- Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for reviewing the Generated Output for accuracy, security vulnerabilities, compliance with applicable laws, and ensuring it does not infringe on any third-party rights or violate any licenses (including open-source license obligations) before using, deploying, or distributing it. You use the Generated Output entirely at your own risk.
c. Feedback:
If you provide us with any feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free right to use the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, including to improve the Service and create other products and services, without any compensation to you.
