    ### 6.6 AI-Generated Content Disclaimer and User Responsibility


    #### 6.6.1 Nature of AI-Generated Books


    Make It Write uses artificial intelligence to generate book content based on user prompts and preferences. Our AI models are trained on large-scale collections of existing written works, as is standard practice in the AI content generation industry.


    Important Reality:


    AI-generated books may bear similarities to existing books, stories, plots, characters, narrative structures, or written works created by third-party authors or writers.


    We cannot guarantee that AI-generated content is entirely unique or free from similarities to pre-existing works.


    This limitation is inherent to ALL AI book generation services and is not unique to Make It Write. It is a known industry-wide reality.


    Why This Happens:


    - AI learns from existing literature to understand storytelling, character development, plot structures, and writing styles

    - Similar narrative structures are common across different books (hero's journey, three-act structure, etc.)

    - Certain tropes, archetypes, and themes are widely used in fiction (chosen one, love triangle, redemption arc, etc.)

    - AI cannot know every book ever written to avoid all similarities

    - Many stories share similar plots, character types, or thematic elements without violating copyright


    ---


    #### 6.6.2 Make It Write's Non-Liability for Third-Party Disputes


    Make It Write is NOT responsible for and shall NOT be held liable for any legal disputes, claims, or proceedings between:


    - Make It Write users and third-party authors or writers

    - Make It Write users and third-party copyright holders or publishers

    - Make It Write users and other individuals or entities claiming rights to similar written works

    - Make It Write users and other Make It Write users regarding content similarities


    This includes, but is not limited to:


    - Copyright infringement claims

    - Plagiarism allegations

    - Intellectual property disputes

    - Claims of plot, character, or narrative similarity

    - Derivative work claims

    - Any legal actions arising from the use, distribution, or commercialization of AI-generated books

    - Disputes over story structure, character development, dialogue, or thematic similarities

    - Third-party DMCA takedown notices or cease-and-desist letters

    - Claims from publishers, literary agents, or authors' estates

    - Trademark or character rights claims


    ---


    #### 6.6.3 User Responsibility and Indemnification


    By using Make It Write's AI book generation service, you acknowledge and agree that:


    You Accept Full Responsibility:


    1. You are solely responsible for how you use, distribute, or commercialize AI-generated books

    2. You understand that AI-generated books may have similarities to existing works

    3. You accept the risk that third parties may claim your AI-generated book is similar to their works

    4. You cannot hold Make It Write liable for any disputes, claims, or legal actions from third parties


    You Must Conduct Due Diligence:


    1. Before commercial publication, you should research whether AI-generated content is similar to existing copyrighted works

    2. You should run plagiarism checks using tools like Grammarly, Copyscape, or Turnitin

    3. You should consult a lawyer if you plan to monetize or widely distribute AI-generated books

    4. You are responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses or clearances

    5. You understand that Make It Write does not provide legal advice or copyright clearance services


    You Indemnify and Hold Harmless Make It Write:


    You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Make It Write, Differson LLC, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents from ANY claims, damages, losses, expenses (including legal fees), or liabilities arising from:


    - Your use of AI-generated books

    - Disputes with third parties regarding similarities to their works

    - Any commercial exploitation or distribution of AI-generated content

    - Allegations of copyright infringement, plagiarism, or IP violations related to your use of the Service

    - Claims from authors, publishers, literary agents, or other rights holders

    - Any legal proceedings, DMCA notices, or cease-and-desist letters you receive

    - Your failure to comply with applicable laws or third-party rights

    - Publishing platform disputes (Amazon KDP, Apple Books, etc.)


    What This Means:


    - If someone sues you for using AI-generated books, you CANNOT sue Make It Write

    - If someone claims your AI book is similar to theirs, Make It Write is NOT involved in that dispute

    - You must pay for your own legal defense and any damages awarded against you

    - You must reimburse Make It Write if we are dragged into your legal dispute


    ---


    #### 6.6.4 Realistic Expectations for AI Books


    Important: Similarity is Common and Expected


    Because AI is trained on existing literature:


    - Plot structures may match common narrative patterns used in thousands of books (hero's journey, coming-of-age, mystery formula, etc.)

    - Character archetypes may resemble popular character types (mentor, hero, villain, sidekick, love interest, etc.)

    - Thematic elements may align with universal literary themes (love, loss, redemption, betrayal, identity, etc.)

    - Story beats may follow standard storytelling conventions (inciting incident, rising action, climax, resolution)

    - Writing styles may resemble genre conventions (noir detective, epic fantasy, romance, thriller, etc.)

    - Dialogue patterns may follow natural human conversation structures


    This does NOT necessarily mean copyright infringement has occurred.


    Legal Reality:


    - Copyright protects specific expression, not general ideas, themes, or concepts

    - Many books share similar plots, characters, or themes without violating copyright

    - Similarity alone does not prove plagiarism or copyright violation

    - Courts require substantial similarity in protected expression, not just genre or style

    - Ideas, facts, tropes, and common literary elements are not copyrightable


    Make It Write's Position:


    - We believe our AI-generated books are legally compliant when used as intended

    - Similarity is expected and does not automatically equal infringement

    - Users must assess risk for their specific commercial use cases

    - Make It Write is not liable for third-party claims regardless of their merits

    - Users should edit and refine AI output to ensure originality


    ---


    #### 6.6.5 Content Moderation and User Reports


    While Make It Write is NOT liable for similarities between AI-generated content and existing works, we provide the following user-driven safety features:


    Block/Report System:


    - Users can block authors whose work they wish to avoid

    - Users can report content they believe violates rights or is inappropriate

    Community Guidelines:


    - We maintain community standards for respectful, lawful use

    - Content must comply with Section 6.2 Content Guidelines
