These representations are intended for entertainment, critique, and transformative purposes. However, you acknowledge and agree that any resemblance to real public figures is purely coincidental. Simia does not claim any affiliation with or endorsement by any public figure.
• Liability for Use of Likeness: While Simia encourages transformative and non-commercial parodies, we do not guarantee that the generated content will comply with all intellectual property laws, including publicity rights and trademark law.

• Commercial and Non-Commercial Use: While we strongly advise that any parody or imitation content be used in a non-commercial context unless you have obtained explicit permission from the appropriate parties or have verified that your use complies with applicable intellectual property laws, you may use such content commercially, provided it does not mislead others into thinking the content is an endorsement or affiliation with the public figure.
• Disclaimers and Content Ownership: All generated content featuring public figures must include a disclaimer, which is the responsibility of the user, clarifying that the content is fictional and not endorsed by any individual depicted. You are required to ensure that this disclaimer is present in any content you create that features public figures, and Simia is not responsible for any failure to include such disclaimers.

4.9 Similar Storylines and Unintentional Resemblance

• Unintentional Resemblance in Generated Content: Simia’s AI generates new and original content based on user inputs. However, in the rare event that the generated content resembles existing storylines, characters, or creative concepts, it is purely coincidental. Simia makes every effort to mitigate this risk, and its AI does not intentionally replicate or plagiarize existing works.
• Simia’s Commitment to Protecting Intellectual Property: While Simia takes all reasonable measures to avoid content infringement, we recognize that AI-generated content may sometimes resemble existing creative works unintentionally. We are committed to promptly addressing any claims of IP infringement and will take appropriate action to resolve issues, including content modification, removal, or user notification, when necessary.

• Conducting your own review of the content generated, especially if used for commercial purposes or public distribution.
• Seeking legal advice when necessary to ensure that the content you create does not conflict with existing copyrighted works, trademarks, or other protected intellectual property.
• Using Simia’s tools within the confines of the platform’s intended use, and not for the creation of content that mimics or directly copies well-known creative works.
• Indemnification and Liability: You agree to indemnify and hold Simia, its affiliates, officers, and employees harmless from any legal claims, damages, or losses that arise from the use of the Services, including but not limited to any claims related to the unauthorized reproduction or infringement of copyrighted material, trademarks, or other protected content.

• Limitation of Liability: Simia will not be liable for any claims, damages, or disputes arising from content generated on the platform, including any unintentional resemblances to existing creative works. While we take steps to prevent such issues, you are responsible for validating the originality of the generated content, especially if the content is to be used for commercial purposes. You assume all risk and responsibility related to the content you generate and distribute.
• Right to Modify or Remove Content: In the unlikely event that Simia becomes aware of any generated content that infringes upon third-party intellectual property rights, we reserve the right to modify, remove, or suspend access to such content without notice to the user, at our sole discretion. This right does not imply an ongoing monitoring obligation and will be exercised based on reasonable grounds or if required by law.
