Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using Officially Human Art ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Officially Human Art provides a self-declaration registry where creators can record that their creative works were made without generative AI. The Service issues certificates based on creators' own declarations. Officially Human Art does not independently verify, audit, or guarantee the accuracy of any declaration made by a creator.

3. Creator Declarations

When submitting work for certification, creators make a voluntary declaration that their work is authentically human-made. This declaration is the sole responsibility of the creator. Officially Human Art acts only as a registry for these declarations and makes no independent assessment of whether a work was in fact created without AI assistance.

4. No Guarantee or Warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Officially Human Art does not warrant that:

Any certified work is genuinely free of AI-generated content
The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
Certificates will be accepted or recognised by any third party
The evidence provided by creators is authentic or complete

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Officially Human Art, its operators, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:

Your use of or inability to use the Service
Any reliance placed on a certificate issued through the Service
Any dispute between a creator and a buyer, collector, publisher, or any other third party regarding the authenticity or provenance of a work
Any false or misleading declaration made by a creator
Unauthorised access to or alteration of your data

6. Third-Party Disputes

Officially Human Art is not a party to any transaction, agreement, or relationship between creators and any third party (including buyers, collectors, galleries, publishers, or platforms). Any dispute arising from the sale, licensing, or use of a certified work is solely between the parties involved. Officially Human Art bears no responsibility for resolving such disputes and accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from them.

7. Certificate Revocation

Officially Human Art reserves the right to revoke any certificate if there is reasonable evidence that the accompanying declaration was false or misleading. Revocation does not create any obligation on Officially Human Art's part to notify third parties or compensate any party for losses.

8. Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you provide and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must not impersonate another person or submit work created by someone else.

9. Subscriptions and Cancellation

Paid subscriptions (such as the Creator plan) are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time from your dashboard. When you cancel:

Your plan remains active until the end of your current billing period
You will not be charged again after cancellation
After your billing period ends, your account reverts to the Free plan
All certificates you have already created remain fully active. Badges, QR codes, and verification pages continue to work as normal. Nothing is removed or deactivated
On the Free plan, you may maintain up to 3 certified works. Additional certificates can be purchased individually

No refunds are issued for partial billing periods. You may resubscribe at any time.

10. Service Discontinuation

Officially Human Art reserves the right to suspend, modify, or permanently discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. In the event of permanent discontinuation:

We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to registered users via email
Active paid subscriptions will not be renewed, but no refunds will be issued for the current billing period
Certificates, verification pages, QR codes, and badges may cease to function
We may, but are not obligated to, provide users with an opportunity to export their data before shutdown

Officially Human Art shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

11. Modifications

Officially Human Art may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

Disclaimer

Not a Verification Authority

Officially Human Art is a self-declaration registry, not a verification authority. Certificates are based entirely on creators' own statements and any evidence they choose to provide. Officially Human Art does not employ AI detection tools, forensic analysis, or any other independent verification methods.

No Professional Advice

The Service does not constitute legal, professional, or expert advice. An Officially Human Art certificate does not serve as a legal document, expert opinion, or forensic assessment. It should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any purchasing, licensing, or business decision.

Reliance at Your Own Risk

Any person or entity relying on an Officially Human Art certificate does so entirely at their own risk. We strongly recommend that buyers, collectors, and other third parties conduct their own due diligence before making decisions based on a certificate.

Copyright & Intellectual Property

Creator Ownership

All creative works submitted to Officially Human Art remain the sole intellectual property of the original creator. Registration with Officially Human Art does not transfer, assign, license, or affect copyright ownership in any way.

Limited Licence

By submitting work to Officially Human Art, creators grant Officially Human Art a limited, non-exclusive licence to display submitted images and evidence on certificate verification pages and artist profiles for the purpose of operating the Service. This licence does not extend to any commercial use of the work and may be revoked by the creator by deleting their account.
