US DISCLAIMERS SCHEDULE

Effective date: May 2026 | Last updated: 18 May 2026

1. Purpose and Legal Effect

1.1. Purpose

This Schedule sets out the principal disclaimer language for Creation Rights in connection with its creative asset, rights-recording, metadata, licence, transaction, payout-instruction, publishing, renewal, dispute, takedown, and audit workflows.

This Disclaimers Schedule forms part of the applicable Creation Rights Terms of Service, Terms of Use, Terms and Conditions, Supply of Services Terms, Online Sales Terms, Role Terms, Order Forms, Licence Schedules, Consent Schedules, Payout Schedules, Refund/Reversal Schedules, Metadata Schedules, and any other document that incorporates it by reference.

Its purpose is to explain the limits of Creation Rights' role as a software, workflow, rights-recording, metadata, evidence, clearance-support, collaboration, transaction-support, and payout-instruction platform.

1.2. Incorporation into Terms

By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, uploading a Creative Asset, creating a workspace, creating or accepting a Deal, signing or accepting a Licence Schedule, approving a consent flow, connecting a payment account, requesting a payout, publishing an asset, using an API or agent workflow, or using a metadata or rights-classification feature, the user acknowledges and agrees to this Schedule where incorporated by the applicable Terms.

1.3. Conflict and Order of Precedence

If this Schedule conflicts with a signed enterprise agreement, negotiated order form, data processing agreement, payment processor terms, or other mandatory terms that expressly state they control, that document controls only to the extent of the conflict. Otherwise, this Schedule supplements the Terms and applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

1.4. No Reduction of Mandatory Rights

Nothing in this Schedule excludes, limits, restricts, waives, or caps liability, rights, remedies, obligations, or duties that cannot lawfully be excluded, limited, restricted, waived, or capped under applicable law.

2. Defined Terms

3. Core Platform Disclaimers

3.1. Software and Workflow Platform Only

Creation Rights provides software, workflow, rights-recording, metadata, evidence, transaction-support, clearance-support, collaboration, transaction-support, audit, and payout-instruction tools. Creation Rights does not guarantee that any Creative Asset, Deal, Licence, consent, metadata record, payout instruction, publication, campaign, or usage event is legally valid, commercially successful, cleared, insured, enforceable, payable, or risk-free. Creation Rights is not a law firm, attorney, tax adviser, accountant, financial adviser, investment adviser, insurance adviser, broker-dealer, securities exchange, commodities platform, payment processor, bank, escrow agent, trustee, fiduciary, custodian, money transmitter, stored-value provider, talent agency, collective management organisation, or rights-clearance guarantor.

3.2. No Legal, Tax, Accounting, Financial, Investment, Valuation, Insurance, or Clearance Advice

Creation Rights provides software, workflow, rights-recording, metadata, transaction-support, audit, and payout-instruction tools. Creation Rights does not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, valuation, securities, insurance, regulatory, or professional advice. Templates, clauses, metadata codes, risk indicators, risk scores, AI outputs, rights checks, payout calculations, publishing indicators, or workflow statuses are operational tools only and do not replace advice from qualified professionals. Creation Rights is not a law firm, accounting firm, tax advisor, investment advisor, valuation firm, insurance broker, securities broker, payment processor, bank, escrow agent, or fiduciary. Templates, clauses, workflow prompts, risk indicators, metadata codes, AI outputs, payout calculations, usage calculations, tax prompts, disclosure prompts, and rights classifications are provided for operational support only and do not replace advice from qualified professionals.

3.3. No Attorney-Client or Advisor Relationship

Use of the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship, accountant-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, broker relationship, agency relationship, employment relationship, talent agency relationship, collective management relationship, insurer relationship, or other professional advisory relationship with Creation Rights.

3.4. No Guarantee of Outcome

Creation Rights does not guarantee deal completion, creator earnings, campaign performance, audience reach, virality, approval, clearance, payout timing, licensing value, rights value, asset value, tax treatment, insurance coverage, publication approval, platform acceptance, or absence of disputes, takedowns, claims, chargebacks, reversals, refunds, regulatory review, or third-party objections.

3.5. No clearance guarantee.

Creation Rights does not guarantee that any Creative Asset, licence, rights grant, NILP use, identity use, AI output, synthetic media asset, prompt, dataset, music track, video, image, design, work, campaign, channel, territory, publication, distribution, payout, renewal, or transaction is lawful, cleared, enforceable, payable, publishable, commercially suitable, or free from third-party claims.

3.6. Decision-Support Only

Any score, flag, checklist, rule, workflow prompt, approval state, risk score, risk indicator, metadata status, clause trigger, template trigger, or "ready" status is a decision-support tool only. It is not a legal opinion, clearance certificate, guarantee of compliance, ownership verification, rights-chain verification, tax determination, payment guarantee, or publication guarantee.

4. Payments, Payouts, Refunds, and Financial Boundaries

4.1. Not a Bank, Escrow Agent, Trustee, Custodian, Wallet, or Money Transmitter

Creation Rights is not a bank, escrow agent, trustee, custodian, fiduciary, money transmitter, stored-value provider, electronic money institution, payment institution, financial institution, broker-dealer, exchange, clearing agency, or securities platform. Payment acceptance, connected account onboarding, KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, identity verification, refunds, chargebacks, reversals, reserves, transfers, and payouts may be handled by third-party payment processors under their own terms.

4.2. Third-Party Payment Processor Terms

Users may be required to accept third-party payment processor terms and complete onboarding, identity, tax, sanctions, risk, or compliance checks before payments or payouts can be processed. Creation Rights may record payment instructions, payout eligibility, ledger events, metadata events, and audit evidence, but does not guarantee payment acceptance, payout availability, payout timing, settlement finality, reversal immunity, or processor approval. Creation Rights may record reserve logic, refund logic, and transfer instructions. Creation Rights does not guarantee that funds will be available, transferable, irreversible, or payable. Payment processing, connected account onboarding, refunds, chargebacks, transfer reversals, verification, and settlement may be handled by third-party processors subject to their terms, network rules, and applicable law.

4.3. Payout Gates

Payouts are not automatic and are not guaranteed by deal creation, content upload, metadata generation, metadata status, invoice creation, campaign approval, licence acceptance, dashboard status, publication approval, payment initiation, or payment authorization. Payouts may be delayed, reduced, reserved, reversed, offset, recouped, blocked, suspended, or withheld until all applicable workflow, payment, tax, sanctions, risk, dispute, fraud, deliverable, consent, metadata, processor, including payment success, rights/NILP consent, deliverable approval, tax documentation, sanctions and risk checks, fraud review, dispute holds, reserve requirements, payment processor rules, and legal gates are satisfied.

4.4. Metadata Payout Eligibility Is Not a Payout Guarantee

A metadata status such as "payout eligible," "ready for payout," "payment succeeded," "releaseable," "low risk," or similar only means that the workflow conditions identified by Creation Rights at that time appear to have been satisfied. It does not guarantee that the payout will occur, that funds are final, that no reversal or chargeback will occur, or that no legal, tax, sanctions, processor, dispute, fraud, reserve, or compliance issue exists.

4.5. Refunds, Chargebacks, Reversals, Reserves, and Offsets

Users acknowledge that payments may be refunded, charged back, reversed, reserved, offset, recouped, withheld, or adjusted due to payment processor action, chargebacks, fraud, error, duplicate payment, tax holds, sanctions holds, non-delivery, breach, dispute, regulatory restriction, refund schedule, kill-fee schedule, reserve policy, or applicable law. Refunds, kill fees, reserves, chargebacks, transfer reversals, offsets, recoupments, and repayment obligations are governed by the applicable Terms, Order Form, Payout Schedule, Refund/Reversal Schedule, processor rules, network rules, and applicable law. A ledger entry, metadata status, or payout eligibility status does not remove processor reversal rights, dispute rights, tax holds, sanctions holds, or reserve requirements. A ledger entry, dashboard balance, metadata status, payout estimate, or pending transfer does not mean funds are final or irreversible.

4.6. No Securities, Investment Contracts, Fan Ownership, or Passive Income Products

No feature of the Services is intended to offer, sell, market, broker, list, or facilitate securities, investment contracts, fractional ownership, equity, dividends, fan ownership, passive income rights, speculative profit interests, or investment returns. Creative assets, NILP rights, right-of-publicity permissions, royalties, royalties, usage fees, renewals, campaign payments, and payout splits are contractual commercial arrangements only unless expressly documented otherwise in a separately reviewed agreement.

4.7. Taxes and Withholding

Creation Rights does not determine a user's final tax status, tax residency, income classification, treaty eligibility, VAT/GST position, withholding status, or reporting obligations. Users are responsible for providing accurate tax forms and information. Payouts may be delayed, withheld, adjusted, reported, or blocked where required by law, processor rules, platform policy, or missing documentation.

5. Creative Rights, NILP, IP, and Cross-Sector Assets

5.1. User Responsibility for Rights and Clearances

Creation Rights does not guarantee that any user owns, controls, or has cleared any Creative Asset, NILP Right, music, sound recording, composition, footage, photograph, artwork, text, design, software, dataset, prompt, AI output, trademark, trade dress, product, location, property, performance, union/guild right, publicity right, privacy right, biometric right, or third-party right. Users are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all rights, consents, licences, releases, assignments, waivers, approvals, union/guild permissions, advertising disclosures, and third-party clearances required for their intended use.

5.2. Ownership, Metadata Codes Do Not Prove Ownership or Chain of Title

Creation Rights does not verify or guarantee ownership, authorship, originality, chain of title, copyright registration, work-made-for-hire status, assignment validity, right-of-publicity permissions, licence scope, music rights, sync rights, master rights, publishing rights, trade mark rights, trade dress, location releases, property releases, or third-party permissions for any Creative Asset. Users must ensure that they have all rights and authority required for their intended use. A metadata code, rights classification, clause trigger, asset status, evidence hash, ownership declaration, or rights-chain field does not prove ownership, authorship, authority, chain of title, non-infringement, waiver, assignment, licence validity, or enforceability. It records platform data and workflow state only.

5.3. No Implied Expansion of Rights

Rights granted in a transaction are limited to the rights, territory, term, channels, formats, platforms, media, purpose, exclusivity, renewal, sublicensing, modification, AI, synthetic, and approval permissions expressly granted in the applicable accepted documents. No cross-sector, cross-channel, cross-territory, extended-term, AI-training, synthetic-likeness, derivative, resale, API, paid-media, broadcast, or out-of-context use is implied.

5.4. NILP and Right of Publicity Variation

Right of publicity, NIL, postmortem publicity, digital replica, voice, likeness, persona, and synthetic media rules vary by state. A clearance, consent, licence, clause trigger, or metadata code for one state does not guarantee compliance in another state. Users are responsible for state-specific review where a person's name, image, likeness, voice, signature, persona, performance, avatar, digital replica, or other identity attribute is used.

Name, image, likeness, persona, voice, signature, avatar, biometric identifiers, digital replica, posthumous publicity rights, endorsement rights, and related identity rights vary by jurisdiction, state, country, contract, union/guild status, age, guardian status, and use case. A NILP code or identity-rights metadata flag does not prove that all required rights have been granted or that the intended use is lawful.

5.5. Moral Rights, Performer Rights, and Attribution

Moral rights, performer rights, attribution rights, integrity rights, recording consents, broadcast consents, neighbouring rights, collective management rights, and waiver requirements may vary by jurisdiction and may not be waivable in all cases. Users are responsible for confirming the status of these rights before creation, licensing, publication, editing, adaptation, distribution, or commercial use.

5.6. Cross-Industry and Cross-Sector Asset Creation

Creative Assets may combine multiple right types across advertising, film, television, music, audio, gaming, social media, fashion, beauty, sports, publishing, photography, visual art, live events, architecture, property media, datasets, software, agents, prompts, education, cultural heritage, product packaging, nonprofit, public sector, and emerging media rights. Creation Rights may provide sector classifications and cross-sector triggers, but users remain responsible for confirming the full legal, commercial, and rights consequences of each intended use. A clearance decision for one sector, channel, territory, or term does not imply clearance for any other sector, channel, territory, term, renewal, derivative use, AI use, paid media use, or resale use.

5.7. Editorial-to-Commercial Conversion

An asset approved for editorial, internal, test, archival, pitch, training, portfolio, or private workspace use is not automatically approved for advertising, paid media, sponsorship, resale, marketplace, AI-training, synthetic media, product packaging, endorsement, public distribution, or other commercial use.

5.8. No Title Insurance or Ownership Insurance

Creation Rights does not provide title insurance, errors and omissions insurance, intellectual property insurance, media liability insurance, privacy insurance, publicity-rights insurance, or guarantee against third-party claims.

5.9. Federal law overlays.

Certain uses may also raise federal copyright, trademark, unfair competition, false endorsement, advertising, consumer protection, privacy, tax, sanctions, export control, employment, child protection, and sector-regulated issues. Creation Rights does not guarantee that state-law publicity clearance resolves federal law issues or that federal compliance resolves state-law publicity, privacy, biometric, or NIL issues.

6. AI, Synthetic Media, Agents, and Automation

6.1. Separate Consent for AI and Synthetic Uses

AI-generated content, AI-assisted editing, AI training, synthetic likeness, digital replica, voice clone, persona simulation, avatar generation, model training, model fine-tuning, prompt libraries, prompt engineering, agent output, agent-generated output, synthetic likeness, digital replica, voice clone, persona simulation, avatar generation, or biometric recognition and automated processing may require express, separate, transaction-specific, and purpose-specific consent. A general account, upload, platform licence, content licence or general acceptance of platform terms does not by itself authorize or grant permission for AI training, synthetic likeness, voice cloning, digital replica use, persona simulation, biometric processing, or out-of-context generation.

6.2. AI Output and Classification Limitations

AI outputs, metadata suggestions, clause triggers, summaries, risk flags, captions, classifications, transcripts, translations, similarity checks, rights suggestions, risk scores, and automated recommendations may be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, outdated, misclassified, or unsuitable for the intended use. Users are responsible for reviewing and validating all AI-assisted outputs and metadata before relying on them.

6.3. No Guarantee of AI Authorship, Copyright, or Protectability

Creation Rights does not guarantee that AI-generated or AI-assisted outputs are copyrightable, registrable, protectable, ownable, licensable, non-infringing, original, commercially usable, or validly assignable in any jurisdiction.

6.4. Agent and API Actions

Users are responsible for prompts, instructions, credentials, permissions, scopes, automations, agent actions, API calls, third-party integrations, and outputs generated through their accounts, workspaces, agents, systems, or connected services.

6.5. Prohibited AI and Synthetic Uses

Unless expressly permitted in writing and legally cleared, users must not use the Services to create or distribute non-consensual synthetic sexual content, deceptive impersonation, unlawful deepfakes, political deception, voice clones without consent, biometric identifiers without lawful authority, defamatory synthetic outputs, or AI uses that violate rights, laws, platform rules, or applicable policies.

6A. Metadata, Clause-Code, Rights Classification, and Decision-Support Disclaimers

6A.1. Metadata, Clause-Code, and Rights Classification Disclaimer

Creation Rights may generate, assign, display, store, update, or rely on metadata codes, clause references, asset classifications, sector classifications, rights classifications, risk indicators, risk scores, consent flags, clearance flags, payout gates, usage rules, expiry indicators, renewal triggers, publishing checks, audit references, and other structured records in connection with Creative Assets, Deals, Licences, Order Forms, Schedules, Addenda, Usage Events, Payouts, Refunds, Reversals, and platform workflows.

These metadata codes and classifications are provided for operational, administrative, workflow, audit, rights-recording, and decision-support purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, accounting advice, investment advice, rights verification, ownership verification, clearance confirmation, valuation advice, compliance certification, or a guarantee that any Creative Asset, use, transaction, licence, payout, publication, campaign, AI output, synthetic media asset, or cross-sector asset is lawful, cleared, enforceable, payable, publishable, or commercially suitable.

A metadata code is not a legal clearance certificate. Metadata codes, clause references, legal triggers, rights classifications, sector classifications, payout gates, and publishing statuses are workflow and audit tools only. They may be incomplete or inaccurate if user inputs, third-party data, connected services, uploaded files, or automated classifications are incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or unlawful.

6A.2. Metadata Inputs and User Responsibility

Metadata codes may be generated from information provided by users, third-party systems, connected services, payment processors, uploaded files, platform workflows, AI-assisted tools, or automated classification systems. Users are responsible for ensuring that all information submitted to Creation Rights is complete, accurate, current, lawful, and not misleading.

Users remain responsible for obtaining, maintaining, and proving all rights, consents, releases, licences, approvals, assignments, waivers, tax documentation, advertising disclosures, privacy notices, biometric consents, union or guild permissions, and other permissions required for their intended creation, upload, storage, licensing, sale, publication, distribution, promotion, training, AI processing, synthetic generation, usage, renewal, transfer, payout, or commercial exploitation of any Creative Asset.

If a user provides incomplete, false, outdated, misleading, or inaccurate information, any resulting metadata code, clause trigger, legal schedule, risk score, payout gate, publishing status, or rights classification may be incorrect or incomplete.

6A.3. No Exhaustive Identification of Legal Requirements

Creation Rights does not guarantee that any metadata code, clause trigger, legal schedule, risk score, payout gate, publishing check, or rights classification will identify every applicable law, right, restriction, consent, licence, release, approval, union/guild requirement, advertising disclosure, tax requirement, payment restriction, biometric requirement, AI/synthetic media requirement, or third-party claim.

6A.4. Binding Terms Control Over Metadata

Metadata may help identify applicable schedules, addenda, workflows, and controls. However, the binding legal relationship between users is governed by the applicable accepted Terms, Role Terms, Order Form, Licence Schedule, Consent Schedule, Addendum, Payout Schedule, Refund/Reversal Schedule, or other executed agreement, not by a metadata label alone.

If a metadata code conflicts with a signed or accepted agreement, the accepted agreement controls unless that agreement expressly states otherwise or applicable law requires otherwise.

6A.5. No Automated Clearance Guarantee

Any automated, AI-assisted, rules-based, metadata-based, or clause-code-based review provided through the Services is not a substitute for independent legal, tax, rights, compliance, accounting, financial, insurance, or professional review.

A "cleared," "approved," "ready," "low risk," "payout eligible," "publishable," or similar platform status only means that the applicable platform workflow conditions identified by Creation Rights at that time appear to have been satisfied. It does not mean that the asset, transaction, campaign, licence, content, likeness use, AI use, disclosure, payout, or publication is free from legal, commercial, tax, regulatory, reputational, or third-party risk.

6A.6. No Reliance on Non-Applicable Decisions

A non-applicable metadata decision, such as "music not triggered," "biometric not triggered," "union review not triggered," or "AI not triggered," is based on available workflow information at the time of classification. It does not guarantee that those issues are absent, waived, irrelevant, or legally unnecessary if the underlying facts change or were incorrectly entered.

6A.7. Required Product Warning

The following warning should be displayed in or near metadata generator outputs, rights classification screens, publishing approval screens, payout eligibility screens, and any screen that uses "cleared," "approved," "ready," or similar status wording: A metadata code is not a legal clearance certificate.

A platform status such as approved, cleared, ready, low risk, payable, payout eligible, publishable, compliant, or similar only means that the applicable platform workflow conditions identified by Creation Rights at that time appear to have been satisfied. It does not mean that the asset, transaction, licence, campaign, content, likeness use, AI use, disclosure, payout, or publication is free from legal, tax, regulatory, commercial, reputational, or third-party risk.

6A.8. Automated review.

Any automated, AI-assisted, rules-based, metadata-based, or clause-code-based review is not a substitute for independent legal, tax, rights, compliance, accounting, financial, or professional review. Automated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, outdated, or inappropriate for the relevant legal context.

7. Advertising, Consumer Protection, and Regulated Use

7.1. Advertising and Sponsorship Disclosures

Brands, agencies, creators, affiliates, endorsers, talent, and other campaign participants are responsible for making required advertising, sponsorship, gifted product, affiliate, endorsement, AI-generated content, synthetic media, and material-connection disclosures. Metadata prompts for #ad, sponsorship, gifted product, affiliate, material connection, or AI disclosure are workflow aids only and do not guarantee compliance with FTC, ASA/CAP, platform, sector, or local rules.

7.2. Advertising and material connection disclosure.

Brands, agencies, creators, affiliates, endorsers, and other campaign participants are responsible for ensuring that paid, sponsored, gifted, affiliate, testimonial, endorsement, influencer, and other material connection disclosures are clear, conspicuous, timely, platform-appropriate, and compliant with applicable law, FTC guidance, state consumer protection laws, platform rules, and sector rules. Metadata prompts or disclosure fields do not guarantee advertising compliance.

7.3. Regulated Industries

Campaigns or assets involving financial services, investment, insurance, credit, healthcare, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, gambling, crypto, political messaging, children, education, employment, housing, environmental claims, public health, adult content, or other regulated categories may require enhanced review or may be prohibited. Users are responsible for required substantiation, disclosures, licenses, approvals, age gates, and sector-specific compliance.

7.4. Substantiation and Claims

Users are responsible for substantiating product claims, performance claims, comparative claims, environmental claims, health claims, financial claims, endorsements, reviews, testimonials, and any claims embedded in Creative Assets or campaign materials.

7.5. Children, Minors, Guardians, and Vulnerable Audiences

Users must not involve minors, children's data, school settings, child performers, child influencers, guardians, or vulnerable audiences unless they have all required legal authority, consents, approvals, safeguarding measures, payment arrangements, labour compliance, privacy compliance, and platform approvals.

8. Privacy, Data, Biometric Data, and Security

8.1. Privacy and Data Protection

Users are responsible for using the Services in compliance with applicable privacy, data protection, confidentiality, employment, consumer protection, and platform laws. This includes providing required notices, obtaining required consents, respecting data subject rights, limiting processing to lawful purposes, and avoiding unlawful scraping, tracking, profiling, or data enrichment.

8.2. Biometric and sensitive data.

Where a feature processes facial geometry, faceprints, voiceprints, likeness data, identity verification data, biometric identifiers, or other sensitive personal information, Creation Rights will process such data only as described in the applicable privacy notice, consent flow, biometric notice, retention schedule, and data processing terms. Users must not upload or process biometric or sensitive data unless they have the required notices, consents, authority, written policies, retention/deletion practices, and safeguards required by applicable state and federal law.

8.3. Biometric and Special Category Data

Facial geometry, voiceprints, identity verification data, health-related signals, biometric identifiers, special category data, sensitive personal information, and similar data may be subject to heightened legal requirements. Users must not upload, process, classify, extract, infer, tag, or use biometric or sensitive data unless they have all required authority, notices, lawful bases, consents, retention schedules, deletion procedures, and cross-border transfer mechanisms.

8.4. Metadata Derived from Identity or Biometric Data

Metadata derived from facial, voice, likeness, identity, or biometric data may itself be sensitive or regulated depending on jurisdiction and use. A biometric or identity metadata code does not prove that required privacy, biometric, NILP, publicity, consent, retention, deletion, or notice obligations have been satisfied.

8.5. Confidentiality and Trade Secrets

Users are responsible for marking, limiting, and protecting confidential information, trade secrets, unreleased campaigns, source files, production methodology, prompts, models, data sources, deal terms, pricing, private workspaces, and proprietary workflows.

8.6. Security, Accounts, and Workspace Controls

Users are responsible for account credentials, workspace invitations, role permissions, admin controls, API keys, third-party integrations, connected services, and agent permissions. Creation Rights is not responsible for losses caused by unauthorized access resulting from user-side security failures, shared credentials, misconfigured permissions, or compromised third-party services, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded by law.

8.7. Retention, Deletion, and Records

Deletion requests, retention schedules, legal holds, audit logs, processor records, backup copies, rights records, transaction records, metadata records, evidence packages, payment records, tax records, and dispute records may follow different retention rules. Deleting an asset from a workspace does not necessarily delete records that Creation Rights must retain for legal, compliance, payment, tax, dispute, security, audit, or legitimate business purposes.

9. Copyright, Takedown, and User Content

9.1. No Pre-Screening Guarantee

Creation Rights may provide tools for rights management and notice-and-takedown workflows, but does not guarantee that user content is pre-screened, non-infringing, cleared, lawful, or free from third-party claims.

9.2. DMCA and IP Notices

Creation Rights may provide copyright notice-and-takedown and repeat infringer procedures, but does not guarantee pre-screening, ownership validation, or infringement-free use of user content. Non-copyright disputes, including publicity, privacy, biometric, contractual, trade mark, trade secret, moral rights, performer rights, confidentiality, and AI/synthetic media disputes, may require separate review and are not necessarily resolved by the DMCA process. Users must cooperate with copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, defamation, impersonation, and other rights notices. Creation Rights may preserve metadata, evidence packages, hashes, records, account actions, and transaction data when needed to investigate, respond to, or defend against takedown notices, counter-notices, repeat-infringer determinations, disputes, or legal claims.

9.3. Repeat Infringers and Bad-Faith Claims

Creation Rights may suspend or terminate users who repeatedly infringe rights or repeatedly submit abusive, fraudulent, misleading, or bad-faith rights claims, ownership claims, takedown notices, counter-notices, or metadata declarations.

9.4. Operational License to User Content

To operate the Services, Creation Rights may need a limited license to host, store, process, scan, index, transmit, display, transform for technical purposes, classify, version, secure, audit, and generate metadata from user content inside the platform and approved workflows. This operational license does not grant Creation Rights a broad promotional, advertising, resale, or third-party exploitation right unless the user separately grants such rights in an accepted agreement.

10. Platform Availability, Third-Party Services, and Records

10.1. Availability and Changes

Creation Rights does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or permanent access to the Services. Features may be modified, suspended, limited, deprecated, replaced, or discontinued, subject to any signed enterprise agreement or mandatory law.

10.2. Third-Party Services and Integrations

Creation Rights may integrate with or link to third-party providers. Creation Rights is not responsible for third-party downtime, errors, data loss, payment failures, processor decisions, verification failures, model outputs, API changes, platform takedowns, account suspensions, policy changes, or third-party terms, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded by law.

10.3. Records, Metadata, and Evidence Packages

Audit logs, evidence packages, metadata, hashes, timestamps, approvals, signatures, clickwrap records, consent records, payout records, and provenance records are operational records. They may support an audit trail, but they are not a court judgment, legal opinion, government certificate, insurer certificate, clearance certificate, or guarantee that a user's conduct was lawful.

10.4. Beta, Experimental, and Preview Features

Beta, preview, experimental, developer, AI, agent, scoring, matching, marketplace, or early-access features may be incomplete, unstable, inaccurate, or subject to change. Users should not rely on such features for high-risk legal, financial, safety, compliance, or publication decisions without independent review.

11. Role-Specific Disclaimers

12. User Journey Notices

13. Short-Form Disclaimer Library

• A metadata code is not a legal clearance certificate.
• Metadata and risk scores are decision-support tools only.
• Clause triggers do not guarantee that every legal requirement has been identified.
• Rights classifications are based on available information and may be incomplete or incorrect.
• Creation Rights does not verify ownership of every asset, likeness, voice, work, music track, dataset, prompt, AI output, location, trademark, or third-party right.
• Users remain responsible for rights, consents, releases, licences, tax data, disclosures, and publishing compliance.
• Payout eligibility metadata is not a payout guarantee.
• A "ready to publish" status is not a compliance guarantee.
• AI-assisted classifications may be inaccurate or incomplete.
• NILP, AI, biometric, and synthetic media use may require separate express consent.

14. International and Statutory Rights Carveout

14.1. Jurisdictional Variation

Copyright, publicity rights, privacy rights, biometric rules, tax rules, payment rules, advertising rules, consumer rights, employment rules, union/guild rules, and AI/synthetic media rules vary by jurisdiction. Creation Rights does not guarantee that a single workflow, template, metadata code, or clause trigger satisfies every jurisdiction or state.

14.2. Non-Excludable Liability Carve-Out

Nothing in the Terms, this Schedule, any Order Form, any Role Terms, any policy, any linked terms, or any other agreement incorporated by reference excludes, limits, restricts, waives, or caps any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, limited, restricted, waived, or capped under applicable law. Without limiting the above, nothing excludes, limits, restricts, waives, or caps liability for:

• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• death or personal injury caused by negligence;
• gross negligence;
• wilful misconduct or willful misconduct;
• any intentional, dishonest, malicious, or unlawful act;
• any deliberate breach of applicable law;
• any liability that applicable consumer, data protection, payment, intellectual property, publicity rights, biometric, employment, tax, sanctions, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, or other mandatory law does not permit to be excluded, limited, restricted, waived, or capped.

14.3. Legal Theory and Foreseeability

The exclusions, disclaimers, limitations, liability caps, warranty disclaimers, damages exclusions, releases, indemnity limitations, payout limitations, refund limitations, platform-role limitations, processor disclaimers, metadata disclaimers, and decision-support disclaimers in the Terms apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and regardless of legal theory, including contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation, restitution, unjust enrichment, indemnity, contribution, equity, or any other theory of liability, and regardless of whether the relevant loss was foreseeable, anticipated, contemplated, advised of, or reasonably avoidable.

End of Disclaimers Schedule

Product and Website Short-Form Notices

Integration Notes for the Metadata Generator

Clause-code warnings. Every asset record that displays legal status, rights status, payout status, publishing status, or clearance status should include the warning: A metadata code is not a legal clearance certificate.

Applicable and non-applicable decisions. The metadata generator should record both triggered clauses and non-triggered clauses. This provides an audit trail showing why a schedule, addendum, consent, payout gate, disclosure, or manual review was or was not applied.

Jurisdiction routing. The metadata generator should route US disclaimers separately from UK disclaimers. US assets should use US legal references plus state-law triggers where relevant, and the US route should not imply UK data protection, advertising, moral rights, or performer rights review unless the UK route is also triggered.

Evidence package. Each asset, deal, licence, consent, payout, refund, reversal, publishing approval, usage event, renewal, takedown, and dispute record should store the accepted terms version, schedule version, clause-code version, metadata version, user action, timestamp, and evidence hash where supported by the platform.
