To the maximum extent permitted by law, FicMachine shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data (including your stories), or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service.
Data Loss: While we use backups, you are responsible for keeping local copies of your work. We are not liable for the loss of any story drafts due to technical failure.
