11. Responsibility for your Actions
You are responsible for your own conduct on the Service. If your actions result in legal claims against Kitsunic Works — for example, posting content that violates someone else's rights or breaks the law — you agree to cover any resulting damages, losses, or legal costs. In short: you break it, you own it.
12. Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Service and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

We may terminate or suspend your account if you violate these Terms. Except in cases involving immediate harm to the community (such as malware distribution, doxxing, or illegal content), we will provide written notice explaining the reason and give you a reasonable opportunity to address the issue before action is taken. You may also close your own account at any time by contacting us.
