Copyright & Commercial Licence

This Copyright & Commercial Licence Policy explains the ownership, licensing and permitted uses of images created using Aestic. This Policy forms part of the Aestic Terms & Conditions.

1. Ownership of Uploaded Content

You retain full ownership of any images, photographs, illustrations or other content that you upload to Aestic. Uploading content does not transfer ownership to Aestic or Lumonova. By uploading content, you grant Aestic a limited, non-exclusive licence solely to process your request, generate AI images, edit uploaded images, temporarily store your content, and deliver the requested results. This licence ends when your uploaded content is deleted from our systems, except where retention is required by law.

2. Ownership of AI-Generated Images

Subject to applicable law, you own the AI-generated images created through your Aestic account. This means you may download, modify, publish, print, sell or use them in commercial projects. Aestic does not claim ownership of AI-generated images created through your account.

3. Commercial Use

Unless otherwise stated, Aestic grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use AI-generated images for lawful commercial purposes, including advertising campaigns, websites, social media, YouTube, books, magazines, packaging, presentations, client projects, product photography, branding, marketing materials, merchandise, online stores and print materials. No additional commercial licence is required.

4. Client Work

Images created using Aestic may be delivered to clients as part of professional creative services such as graphic design, branding, advertising, marketing, product photography, architectural visualisation, interior design, editorial work and social media management. You remain responsible for ensuring your work complies with all applicable laws and contractual obligations.

5. Print-on-Demand

AI-generated images may be used for lawful print-on-demand products including posters, canvas prints, books, calendars, greeting cards, apparel, mugs, phone cases and home décor. You are responsible for ensuring that your designs do not infringe the rights of third parties.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

You may not use Aestic to knowingly reproduce or infringe the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrighted artwork, logos, trademarks, characters, protected product designs or photographs owned by third parties. If you upload copyrighted material, you represent that you have the legal right to use it.

7. Artist Styles

Aestic may generate images inspired by broad artistic movements or visual aesthetics. Users must not intentionally misrepresent AI-generated work as having been created, endorsed or authorised by a specific living artist unless permission has been obtained.

8. Brand Names and Trademarks

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of trademarks, logos or brand names complies with applicable intellectual property laws. Aestic does not grant permission to use third-party trademarks.

9. Public Figures

Generated images depicting public figures should not be used to imply endorsements, spread misinformation, commit fraud, impersonate individuals or violate publicity rights. Users are solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws.

10. Copyright Complaints

Aestic respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe content generated using Aestic infringes your copyright, please contact support@aesticstudio.com with your contact details, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing content, evidence supporting your claim, and a statement confirming the accuracy of your complaint. We will investigate complaints and take appropriate action where required by law.

11. No Guarantee of Copyright Protection

Copyright laws relating to AI-generated works vary between jurisdictions and continue to evolve. Aestic cannot guarantee that AI-generated content qualifies for copyright protection, can be registered as copyrighted work, can be trademarked, or is legally protectable in every country. Users are responsible for obtaining independent legal advice where copyright protection is important.

12. Originality of AI Outputs

Artificial intelligence may occasionally generate outputs that resemble existing works. Although Aestic aims to produce original creative results, we cannot guarantee that every generated image will be entirely unique. Users should review generated content before commercial publication.

13. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the prompts you submit, the content you upload, the images you generate, your commercial use of generated images, and ensuring compliance with copyright, trademark, privacy and publicity laws. Aestic is not responsible for how users choose to use AI-generated content.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Aestic shall not be liable for claims arising from copyright disputes, trademark disputes, licensing disputes, ownership disputes, commercial losses, or third-party intellectual property claims resulting from your use of generated content.

15. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Copyright & Commercial Licence Policy from time to time to reflect legal developments, changes in AI technology, intellectual property law, business requirements or platform improvements. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.
