2. Scope of Service
ImgNova provides generative AI capabilities including image, video, and audio generation, editing tools, and character chat. The Service may integrate third-party models and providers to deliver functionality (e.g., VEO-3, FLUX.1, SDXL). We may add, remove, or modify features at any time.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Generative Output does not infringe any third-party rights or violate laws.
We may use Generative Output in anonymized, aggregated form to improve our Service, unless you explicitly opt out of such usage where the option is provided. ImgNova may retain limited copies of content for safety, moderation, or to provide functionality (e.g., your gallery) consistent with our Privacy Policy.
