AI POLICY
AUTHENTIC COLLABORATION AND HUMAN ENGAGEMENT
Requirement for Human Input
Joanne Tapodi Creative is a human-led studio that prioritizes deep discovery, genuine strategy, and authentic creative partnerships. To ensure the integrity and artistic alignment of the project, The Client agrees that all responses to creative questionnaires, brand discovery briefs, design feedback, and proof amendments must be authored directly by a human representative of The Client.
Prohibition of AI-Generated Briefs and Feedback
All core responses to project questionnaires and feedback on design drafts/proofs must originate directly from The Client. While AI tools may be used to polish or edit The Client’s existing writing, artificial intelligence text generators and automated tools (such as ChatGPT) may not be used to generate, outline, or formulate the substance of answers. Automated inputs lack the contextual nuance, emotional depth, and raw business reality required to guide a custom creative process. Joanne Tapodi Creative relies on hearing The Client’s genuine, unpolished thoughts to execute the brand direction effectively.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) POLICY AND ASSUMPTIONS
Studio Use of Generative AI Tools
Joanne Tapodi Creative may utilize advanced artificial intelligence and automated technologies during the preliminary discovery, mood boarding, or conceptual brainstorming phases of a project. However, Joanne Tapodi Creative warrants that all final deliverables, core branding elements, and customized website frameworks are substantially human-authored, bespoke, and created using professional design intelligence. In accordance with Australian copyright principles, all finalized concepts are structured to ensure they are legally capable of copyright protection and ownership assignment to The Client upon final payment.
Restrictions on Client Use of Studio Materials
The Client explicitly agrees that they must not upload, feed, or input any preliminary sketches, draft concepts, rejected designs, raw working files, or approved and finalized deliverables provided by Joanne Tapodi Creative into any generative artificial intelligence models, scraping software, machine learning platforms, or large language models (including, but not limited to, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Lovable, Midjourney, or Adobe Firefly). The Client acknowledges that the transfer of copyright ownership for finalized work is explicitly conditional upon this restriction. Utilizing any portion of Joanne Tapodi Creative’s work—whether preliminary or finalized—to train automated models, generate synthetic variations, or create AI-derived collateral without explicit written permission constitutes a material breach of this agreement.
Client-Supplied AI Assets and Infringement Liability
Where The Client requests or insists that Joanne Tapodi Creative incorporate an AI-generated asset, image, or text string supplied by The Client into the project deliverables, The Client assumes 100% of the associated legal risk. The Client warrants that the supplied AI asset does not infringe upon the intellectual property, trademark, or moral rights of any third party. Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, Joanne Tapodi Creative accepts no liability for third-party plagiarism claims, copyright disputes, or registration failures arising from the use of client-supplied AI materials, and The Client agrees to fully indemnify the studio against any resulting legal costs or damages.
