Terms of Service

For Artists

  • You are the creator of the works you register, or an authorised representative.
  • All submitted information is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • You have selected the seal that most accurately represents the primary production method of the work.

  • Submitting knowingly inaccurate classification is grounds for suspension.

For Visitors

This registry holds artists accountable to their declared creation method. Declarations are public, permanent, and challengeable. Anyone can request verification. Administrators act on evidence.

You may flag artworks you believe to be incorrectly classified or fraudulent. Flags require a verified email address, a category selection, and a written description of your finding. Submitting false, malicious, or bad-faith reports may result in action being taken against the reporting party.

Artist Rights

Artists retain full ownership of all works they register. Registration on ArtChecker does not transfer, licence, or assign any rights over registered works to ArtChecker, its administrators, or any third party.

Creation Seals

Each registered artwork carries one seal indicating its primary production method. Seals represent the dominant method by which the final creative content was produced — not an exhaustive account of every tool or process used in the workflow.

Handmade

Created entirely through direct manual craftsmanship without digital tools, powered machinery, automation, or AI.

Choose this if: The work was physically made entirely by hand.

Painting, pencil drawing, hand carving, analogue printmaking, hand sewing.

Human Made

Created entirely by a human using conventional tools, including digital software or powered equipment, without AI-generated content.

Choose this if: A human directly created all meaningful visual, written, musical, or structural content.

Photoshop illustration, photography, Blender modelling, Illustrator vector work, chainsaw sculpture.

System Assisted

Created using procedural systems, automation, scripts, simulations, or algorithmic generation without AI or machine learning.

Choose this if: Rules or programmed systems generated part of the output, but not AI models.

Generative coding, parametric design, procedural environments, rule-based composition.

AI Assisted

Primarily human-created work in which AI tools contributed supporting or partial generative elements.

Choose this if: AI helped produce parts of the work, but the human remained the primary creative author.

AI fill, AI upscaling, AI-assisted colour grading, partial AI image generation integrated into human work.

AI Generated

Work produced primarily through generative AI systems, with humans mainly directing, selecting, or editing outputs.

Choose this if: The AI generated most of the final content.

Midjourney outputs, Stable Diffusion generations, prompt-based image creation.

Access to this registry by automated systems is permitted for indexing, search, and retrieval only. Use of any content for training, fine-tuning, or developing machine learning or AI models is explicitly prohibited without prior written consent of the individual rights holder. This prohibition applies in all jurisdictions. Rights reserved under Article 4(3) Directive (EU) 2019/790, Section 29 Canadian Copyright Act, Article 30-4 Japanese Copyright Act, and Article 9 of the Berne Convention.

Any entity seeking to use registry content for research, academic, or other purposes must obtain consent directly from the individual artists concerned.

Data & Privacy

Artist names and artwork details are publicly visible as part of the provenance record. Email addresses are never displayed publicly. Flag reporter details are visible only to administrators. Personal data not forming part of an artwork provenance record will be removed upon verified erasure request in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Moderation

Administrators may suspend artworks or accounts that violate these terms. Moderator decisions may be reviewed and reversed by administrators. All administrative actions are logged in an immutable audit record.
