a) you knew or should have known the Output was infringing or likely to infringe;

b) you disabled, ignored, or did not use any relevant citation, filtering or safety features or restrictions provided by Elucidat AI;

c) Output was modified, transformed, or used in combination with products or services not provided by or on behalf of Elucidat AI;

d) you did not have the right to use the Input or fine-tuning files to generate the allegedly infringing Output; 

e) the claim alleges violation of trademark or related rights based on your use of Output in trade or commerce; or

f) the allegedly infringing Output is from content from a third party offering.

9 Limitation of Liability: Subject to the retained provisions of clause 16.5 under this Annex 2, Elucidat's total liability to you for any loss or damage relating to Elucidat AI shall not exceed an amount equal to one thousand pounds (£1,000).
