MusicGen services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:

• AI-generated music will not infringe third-party rights (you remain responsible for compliance)
• Defects will be corrected or that our services are free of viruses or harmful components
• Your use of the services will meet your requirements or expectations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. You may have additional rights that vary by jurisdiction.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MusicGen, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MusicGen, Illumind Software LLP, and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:
