Terms of use

1. What BHFH is

BHFH is a shop for digital illustration made by people. We list work, keep authorship claims, and put a readable label on each piece.

2. Accounts

You need an account to list work, report a listing or respond to an audit. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Identity verification is optional. It can slowly raise your standing.

3. The commitment creators make

By listing work as human-authored you affirm that you created it entirely through human effort and that no generative AI produced or contributed expressive visual content used in the final artwork, as defined by the version of the Human Authorship Standard in force at the time of your declaration.

You also agree to:

• take part in random audits if selected;
• provide whatever supporting evidence you have, if asked;
• accept that intentional misrepresentation can result in removal of listings, restriction of your account, or suspension.

You are not required to have recorded your creative process, and not having done so is not a breach of these terms.

4. Ownership and licensing

You keep ownership of your work. Listing it on BHFH grants us a limited licence to display the preview you upload, to store your files, and to show your work in the shop and in related promotion of BHFH. Licences you sell are between you and the buyer, on the terms stated in the listing.

5. Evidence

Process files you upload are private by default. Only you and authorised BHFH reviewers can see them, and they are used for verification. We do not publish it, and we do not use it to train machine learning models. You may make an individual item public, and you may delete evidence at any time.

6. Trust labels

Trust labels are our assessment based on the information available. They are not warranties, and they are not statements about artistic quality. We may adjust, suspend or withdraw a label as our understanding of a listing changes.

7. Reports and enforcement

Reports are reviewed by people. We do not remove listings because they have been reported. Where a violation is confirmed we take action proportionate to what happened and to intent, we explain the decision to you, and you may appeal it.

Abusing the reporting system may itself result in restriction.

8. Prohibited conduct

• Listing work you did not create, or that is not human-authored.
• Fabricating or reusing another person’s creation evidence.
• Running extra accounts to dodge a decision against you.
• Attempting to interfere with audits, reviews or the reporting system.

9. What we do not promise

BHFH does not guarantee that any listing is free of AI involvement. We describe exactly what each label is based on and we do not overstate it. BHFH is provided as-is, without warranties beyond those we cannot disclaim.

10. Changes

We will publish material changes to these terms and to the Human Authorship Standard, with their effective dates. Changing the standard does not retroactively alter declarations already recorded under an earlier version.

11. Paid licences and Stripe

When card checkout is offered, payment is processed by Stripe. Card data never touches BHFH servers. Creators receive funds through Stripe Connect Express. BHFH collects a 10% application fee on each paid file sale. Checkout is currently built for United States Connect accounts. We do not calculate or collect sales tax. Creators are responsible for their own tax obligations until Stripe Tax or another documented regime is in place.

A licence is issued only after Stripe confirms payment. The grant is for the artwork version recorded on the order, not whatever the listing says later.
