All such AI-generated outputs are provided strictly for informational, analytical, and decision-support purposes only. They do not constitute professional advice, legal advice, financial advice, commercial guarantees, valuation reports, binding offers, or representations of actual market value, buyer interest, content performance, revenue potential, ranking, licensing success, or deal closure.

Users acknowledge and agree that:

1. AI Outputs Are Estimates - The DNA Health Score, popularity index, pricing indicators, catalogue insights, and recommendation reports are AI-estimated outputs based on available catalogue information, metadata, market patterns, and platform data. They are probabilistic in nature and may contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or outdated assumptions.
2. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Outcome - Media Shippers does not guarantee that any AI-generated output will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, suitable for a particular purpose, or reflective of actual market conditions. Content demand, buyer preferences, platform priorities, audience behaviour, pricing benchmarks, and regional market trends may change rapidly and unpredictably.
3. Pricing Indicators Are Directional Only - Any regional pricing indicators provided for buyers or sellers are indicative, non-binding, and directional in nature. They do not constitute a formal valuation, appraisal, quotation, offer, minimum guarantee, or assurance of achievable deal value. Actual commercial terms and pricing are subject to independent negotiation between the relevant parties.
4. Independent Verification Required - Users must not rely solely on AI-generated scores, reports, recommendations, pricing indicators, or pitch-fit templates. Users are solely responsible for conducting independent legal, financial, commercial, technical, rights and market due diligence before making any listing, licensing, acquisition, pricing, negotiation, or transaction decision.
5. User Responsibility and Assumption of Risk - Any decision made in reliance on Platform DNA Gene outputs or other AI-generated insights is made at the user's sole discretion and commercial risk. Media Shippers shall not be liable for any loss, damage, missed opportunity, reduced revenue, failed negotiation, unsuccessful transaction, inaccurate pricing decision, or other commercial consequence arising from reliance on AI-generated outputs.
6. Five Proprietary Intelligence Dimensions - Platform DNA Gene may analyse catalogues across five proprietary intelligence dimensions, including genre alignment, territory suitability, format performance, audience demographics, and competitive positioning. These dimensions, their methodology, data sources, and weighting may be updated, modified, refined, or replaced from time to time as the AI models and platform systems evolve.
7. Dependence on Data Quality - The quality, relevance, and reliability of AI-generated outputs depend significantly on the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the metadata, rights information, catalogue details, pricing history, and other data provided by users. Incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or outdated information may materially affect the quality of the AI-generated results.
8. Provided "As Is" - Platform DNA Gene and all AI-assisted features are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Media Shippers and its affiliates, licensors, technology providers, and service partners disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, uninterrupted operation, security, availability, compatibility, or commercial outcomes arising from use of the Platform.

Media Shippers does not guarantee that the Platform will operate without interruption, errors, downtime, security vulnerabilities, bugs, or technical failures, nor does it guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or commercial usefulness of any analytics, reports, AI-generated outputs, pricing indicators, popularity scores, or recommendation tools available through the Platform.
