3. AI-Generated Content
The Services use artificial intelligence to generate tattoo designs based on your text descriptions. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated designs may sometimes resemble existing tattoo artwork, copyrighted designs, or trademarked imagery. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of any generated design does not infringe upon the rights of any third party.

We will investigate and take appropriate action, including removing infringing content where warranted.
We reserve the right to terminate accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers.
5. Ownership and Licensing
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you retain ownership of the tattoo designs you generate using the Services.
