5. Intellectual Property

We do not claim ownership over your content, and we do not use it for any purpose other than delivering the Service to you.

5.2 Generated Audio

The audio files generated from your content are owned by you, subject to:

• Any applicable copyright in the underlying source material

Narrato is not responsible for copyright infringement arising from content you choose to convert.
