Legal Notice and AI Art Disclosure

    ArtFaux.com presents original AI-generated imagery and related educational, editorial, and illustrative content. The purpose of this website is to explore, discuss, and showcase visual ideas, artistic traditions, and creative experimentation involving generative artificial intelligence.

    AI-Generated Art Disclosure

    All images, designs, and visual works displayed on this site are presented as AI-generated interpretations, experiments, or derivative creative outputs unless expressly stated otherwise. No image on this site is represented as an authentic work created by any named artist, nor as an official work issued, endorsed, licensed, approved, authenticated, sponsored, or affiliated with any artist, artist estate, foundation, gallery, museum, brand, or other rights holder.

    Any reference on this website to an artist, artistic movement, school, period, medium, genre, aesthetic, or visual style is used solely for descriptive, comparative, educational, editorial, commentary, research, or illustrative purposes. Such references are intended only to identify broad historical context, visual characteristics, or artistic influences and do not constitute a claim of authorship, provenance, endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, certification, approval, or official association.

    Terms such as "inspired by," "after," "evoking," "in dialogue with," "referencing," "artist-inspired," or similar language, when used on this site, are intended as descriptive shorthand only. They do not mean that any work is an original work by the referenced artist or rights holder, or that any referenced party has reviewed, authorized, endorsed, or approved the work.

    ArtFaux.com does not claim that any AI-generated work shown on this site accurately, completely, or definitively reproduces the method, intent, authorship, or authentic visual language of any particular artist or movement. Any similarity to known artworks, artist identities, brands, trade dress, or protected visual properties may be incidental, referential, transformative, experimental, or descriptive in nature.

    To the extent that this website includes discussion of artists, styles, movements, or visual traditions, that discussion is provided for educational and commentary purposes. The inclusion of such references is not intended to mislead consumers, collectors, viewers, or visitors into believing that any displayed work is source-authentic, estate-approved, museum-approved, brand-sponsored, or otherwise officially connected to a third party.

    Product Sales and Merchandise

    ArtFaux.com may now or in the future offer prints, posters, framed works, gift wrap, apparel, home goods, digital downloads, or other merchandise featuring AI-generated images. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing:

    • All such products are sold as original AI-generated decorative or educational items
    • No product is offered as an authentic work by any named artist
    • No product is offered as licensed, estate-authorized, museum-authorized, or otherwise officially affiliated merchandise
    • Any artist, style, or movement reference appearing in a title, tag, label, description, collection name, blog post, or educational material is descriptive only
    • Purchasers are responsible for understanding that they are acquiring an AI-generated product, not an authenticated fine-art original or officially authorized artist merchandise

    No statement on this site should be understood as a representation of investment value, provenance, authenticity, catalog status, resale status, or institutional recognition.

    No Endorsement / No Affiliation

    ArtFaux.com is independent. No use of any name, style reference, movement name, descriptive term, brand-adjacent wording, or comparative language should be understood to imply that any person or entity has sponsored, endorsed, approved, or is affiliated with this site or its contents. This notice is intended to reduce consumer confusion and make clear that descriptive references are not source identifiers. U.S. trademark law specifically recognizes descriptive and nominative fair use in some contexts, but those doctrines do not eliminate the need to avoid confusion, so the site should continue to use clear non-affiliation language.

    AI and Copyright Disclosure

    Because works generated with AI can raise questions about human authorship and copyright status, visitors should not assume that every image on this site qualifies for copyright protection to the same extent as a wholly human-authored work. The U.S. Copyright Office has issued guidance and reports addressing the copyrightability of works containing AI-generated content and the copyrightability of generative AI outputs.

    Where applicable, ArtFaux.com may claim rights only in the original human-authored contributions associated with selection, arrangement, editing, text, curation, layout, commentary, prompt development, or post-generation modification, subject to applicable law.

    Educational Content

    Blog posts, artist discussions, movement summaries, visual comparisons, stylistic analyses, and related explanatory material on this site are provided for general educational and commentary purposes only. They are not legal advice, valuation advice, authentication advice, curatorial certification, or scholarly proof of authorship.

    Accuracy / No Warranty

    ArtFaux.com makes no warranty that any style description, artistic comparison, historical summary, or educational explanation is complete, error-free, or suitable for any commercial, academic, legal, or authentication purpose. Content is provided on an "as is" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    Intellectual Property Concerns

    ArtFaux.com respects the rights of artists, estates, brands, and other rights holders. If you believe that any content on this site creates confusion as to source, affiliation, endorsement, or rights ownership, or that any material infringes your rights, please contact us with sufficient detail to identify the material at issue and the basis of your concern. We will review good-faith notices promptly.

    Reservation of Rights

    ArtFaux.com reserves the right to revise product descriptions, titles, artist/style references, educational materials, and legal notices at any time in order to improve clarity, reduce ambiguity, and address legal or policy concerns.
