8. AI-Assisted Content and Business Description

VatShort develops and produces content using artificial intelligence, digital production technologies, and human creative direction.

References on the Website to “AI-powered,” “AI-generated,” “AI-assisted,” or similar terms describe aspects of our production processes.

Such descriptions do not necessarily mean that:

• every element of every work is generated entirely by artificial intelligence;

• no human creative contribution is involved;

• a particular AI model or provider is used;

• every output is unique or error-free; or

• the same production method applies to every project.

Website descriptions of our production capabilities, services, business plans, or content categories are provided for general informational purposes.

They do not constitute a binding promise, warranty, offer, production commitment, licensing commitment, or guarantee of future availability.

9. Content Distributed Through Third-Party Platforms

VatShort content may separately be published, licensed, distributed, or made available through independently operated third-party platforms.

The Website does not currently link to, embed, or technically integrate with those platforms.

Your use of a third-party platform is governed by the terms and policies of the applicable platform.

Vat Short LLC does not control and is not responsible for a third party’s:

• availability;

• technical systems;

• security;

• content moderation;

• privacy practices;

• advertising practices;

• account decisions; or

• other independent operations.

The publication or distribution of VatShort content on a third-party platform does not make that platform part of this Website.

10. No User Accounts, Payments, or User Content

The Website does not currently provide user accounts, payments, subscriptions, purchases, public comments, user uploads, or user-generated-content features.

Accordingly, these Terms do not grant you any right to:

• create an account;

• information that infringes another person’s rights;

• personal information about another person without authority;

• confidential information that you are not authorized to disclose; or

• sensitive information that is unnecessary for the communication.

Unless Vat Short LLC expressly agrees otherwise in writing, an email or other communication does not create:

• a contract;

• a partnership;

• a joint venture;

• an agency relationship;

• a fiduciary relationship;

• a confidentiality obligation;

• an employment relationship;

• a licensing agreement; or

Please do not send confidential or proprietary creative materials unless we have expressly requested them or a written agreement is in place.

Vat Short LLC may already be developing or considering ideas, themes, formats, characters, technologies, or business opportunities similar to materials submitted by others.

To the extent permitted by law, general similarities do not create an obligation, ownership interest, confidentiality duty, or right to compensation.

The Website may rely on third-party infrastructure and service providers, including hosting, domain, network, and email providers.

21. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Mandatory rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable law remain unaffected.

22. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, the party raising a dispute must send written notice describing:

• the requested resolution; and

• appropriate contact information.

Notices to Vat Short LLC must be sent to:

admin@vatshort.com

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty days after receipt of the notice.

This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief when reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property, security, confidential information, or prevent immediate harm.

23. Jurisdiction and Venue

If a dispute is not resolved through the informal process, and unless applicable law requires otherwise, the dispute will be brought in an appropriate state or federal court having jurisdiction in the State of Wyoming.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
