Important Considerations
Legally Protected Elements
While our platform is designed to generate original content, you should be aware that AI-generated designs might occasionally resemble existing copyrighted works, trademarks, or other legally protected elements. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of any design does not infringe on third-party rights. If you believe a design might infringe on existing intellectual property, we recommend not using it for commercial purposes.
