When you submit Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you own all right, title and interest in and to that Content (including, without limitation, all copyrights and rights of publicity), or that you have received all necessary permissions, clearances, and authorizations in order to submit it to the Services for the uses contemplated in these Terms.

You grant BALA AI, to the fullest extent permitted under the law, a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, transmit, make available, store, modify, exploit, commercialize and otherwise use the Content for any BALA AI-related purpose in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed, including without limitation to operate, improve and provide the Services. You agree that these rights and licenses include a right for BALA AI to make the Content available to, and pass these rights along to, others with whom we have contractual relationships, and to otherwise permit access to or disclose the Content to third parties if we determine such access is or may be necessary or appropriate.

When you create an automated AI character ("Character") using the Services in accordance with these Terms, then as between you and BALA AI, you own all rights in that Character. As between you and BALA AI, you also own any text, images, audio, or video the Character generates ("Generations") that are elicited by you.

You acknowledge that we do not pre-screen content and that AI-generated chats, by their nature, are unpredictable and may produce Generations that are inaccurate or offensive. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content or Generations. You should not rely on the accuracy or completeness of statements made in Content or Generations, and if you do so, you acknowledge that it is at your own risk.
