(e) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

(a) Are the subject of multiple valid infringement notices;
(b) Engage in willful or egregious infringement;
(c) Circumvent or attempt to circumvent copyright protection measures.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, IPGen may restore the removed content in accordance with the DMCA, unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringing activity.

(a) The user’s breach of this Policy or applicable copyright law;
(b) The user’s infringement or misappropriation of any third party’s intellectual property rights;
(c) Any content submitted, generated, or used by the user through the Services that infringes or violates the rights of any third party.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, IPGen shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to any copyright dispute, claim, or enforcement action, even if IPGen has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this Policy shall limit liability where such limitation is prohibited by law.

(a) Applicable law and regulatory guidance;
(b) The Services, including new features, AI capabilities, or content types;
