All content and materials available through our Services—including text, audio, video, images, graphics, logos, software, and advertisements—are owned by or licensed to Amaturo Sonoma Media Group and protected under copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, download, transmit, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written consent, except for personal, non-commercial use.

Some content available through the Services may reflect personal opinions, either in whole or in part. ASMG is committed to fostering a platform where diverse perspectives can be shared and heard. However, it is your responsibility as the reader to verify facts and form your own conclusions. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, quality, or suitability of this article or any associated comments. All views, statements, and opinions expressed by the author(s) or commenters are solely their own. ASMG does not endorse or support any opinions or conclusions presented, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from or related to this article or its comments.

4. User-Generated Content

You may be able to submit content (e.g., contest entries, comments, photos). By submitting content, or entering into contract with Amaturo Sonoma Media Group, its affiliates, or subsidiaries, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display your content in connection with our Services and business.

You represent and warrant that:

• Your content is not defamatory, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate

We reserve the right (but are not obligated) to monitor, edit, or remove user-submitted content at our discretion.

5. Artificial Intelligence

ASMG may use artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other automated technologies across its digital, radio, and print platforms to enhance user experience, personalize content, moderate submissions, analyze engagement, and support editorial and advertising operations.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content may be used in articles, headlines, summaries, audio segments, or other media formats. While ASMG strives for accuracy and quality, AI-generated content may contain errors or reflect limitations inherent in automated systems.
• Personalization features, such as recommended articles, playlists, or advertisements, may be informed by automated analysis of your interactions with ASMG platforms.
• Moderation of user submissions, including comments, reviews, or other content, may be partially or fully automated. ASMG reserves the right to remove or flag content based on automated systems, though human review may also be applied.
• AI tools may assist in editorial workflows, including transcription, translation, and content tagging. These tools do not replace human editorial judgment and oversight.

ASMG does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content generated or influenced by AI technologies. You agree that ASMG is not liable for any damages or losses resulting from your reliance on such content.

If you have concerns about AI-generated content or automated decisions, you may contact ASMG for clarification or to request human review where applicable.

6. Advertising and Marketing

Our Services may include advertisements, sponsored content, or links to third parties. We may also collect data to deliver relevant advertising (see our Privacy Policy).

We do not endorse third-party products or services and are not responsible for their content or actions. Before using any third-party services, you should carefully review their terms of use and privacy policies.

Any user generated content submitted to ASMG will remain subject to these Terms even after account deletion. The provisions regarding User-Generated Content, Indemnification, Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability, Governing Law and Disputes—along with any other terms that by their nature should survive—will continue to apply even after your access to the Services ends, whether terminated by ASMG or discontinued by you.

Our Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that our Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ASMG and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers (collectively, the “ASMG Parties”) shall not be liable to you or any third party for any loss or damages of any kind, including but not limited to special, direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, economic, punitive, or consequential damages, arising out of or in connection with:

• your use of or inability to use the Services,
• your User Submissions,
