At Art on Every Product, we believe that art is a powerful form of expression that should always be backed by trust, transparency, and integrity. This Ethics Policy outlines the core principles that guide our creative process, content creation, and business practices.
By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that our readers, fellow artists, and customers can interact with our platform with complete confidence.
1. Originality and Intellectual Property
- Plagiarism and Copyright: We respect the intellectual property of others. All graphic designs, illustrations, photography, and written text published on this site are original creations or used with explicit permission and proper licensing.
- Independent Artistry: We do not engage in “pixel-for-pixel” copying, unauthorized modifications of other artists’ work, or copyright infringement. We strictly adhere to the terms of service of the marketplaces where our work is hosted, such as Redbubble.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy
As the intersection of art and technology evolves, we believe in full disclosure regarding the use of digital tools:
- Human-Driven Creativity: The core of our brand is human creativity. While we may utilize digital software for editing, scaling, or generating design patterns, we do not pass off purely AI-generated, unedited software outputs as exclusive traditional craftsmanship.
- Transparency: If a specific collection or product line relies heavily on AI-assisted tools for its conceptualization, we strive to be open and transparent with our audience about the methods used to create it.
3. Honest Content and Reviews
Our blog posts, software guides, and artist resource reviews are written with complete objectivity:
- Authentic Advice: We only recommend tools, platforms (like Redbubble), and creative strategies that we have personally tested, researched, or genuinely believe will bring value to our audience.
- No Pay-for-Praise: We do not accept payment or free products in exchange for biased, falsely positive reviews. If a product or service has flaws, we will highlight them constructively to help our readers make informed decisions.
4. Financial Transparency and Affiliation
- Affiliate Disclosures: Some links on our website may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. We clearly disclose this relationship on pages where affiliate marketing is utilized.
- Independence from Platforms: While we actively showcase products hosted on marketplaces like Redbubble, we operate independently. We do not manipulate our site content to artificially praise or shield a platform from fair criticism if its service standards fall short for artists or consumers.
5. Respect and Inclusivity
- Content Integrity: We do not create or host designs that promote hate speech, discrimination, harassment, or violence against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
- Community Engagement: We welcome diverse perspectives in our comments section and social media spaces. We encourage constructive feedback and healthy artistic debates while maintaining a zero-tolerance policy for online bullying.
