Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
This segment restricts users from using AI-generated content features to create, display, or transmit material that is deceptive, illegal, abusive, fraudulent, threatening, harmful, or that infringes the rights of others, and requires users to hold necessary rights or consents before generating such content — imposing conduct and content restrictions on AI-generated outputs.

This segment disclaims all warranties (expressed and implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, security, title, and non-infringement) and limits Kapwing's liability for damages arising from use of the Services — including hacking and unavailability — covering indirect, incidental, consequential, and other damage types, thereby restricting the user's remedies against Kapwing.
