4. User-Generated Content

The Service allows you to save artworks and articles to personal collections and to submit questions through the DeFrame AI feature. You are solely responsible for any content you submit. You represent that you have all necessary rights to submit that content and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.

By submitting content to the Service, you grant DeFrame a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and store that content solely to provide and improve the Service. We do not claim ownership of your content.

5. DeFrame AI Feature

The "Ask DeFrame" AI feature is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Responses are generated by a large language model and may contain inaccuracies. You should not rely on AI-generated responses as professional advice in any field.

Questions you submit to the AI feature are processed by OpenAI's API. Do not include personal, sensitive, or confidential information in your questions.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on the Service created by DeFrame — including editorial text, original artwork descriptions, the DeFrame Art logo, and the overall look and feel of the site — is owned by DeFrame Art and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services, including museum websites and ticketing platforms. These links are provided for convenience only. DeFrame has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
