Additionally, the use of Cryptocurrency Payment Services is subject to the applicable terms of use of the Cryptocurrency Payment Services provider, including but not limited to the lists of prohibited items and businesses not supported by such provider. In the case of BitPay, your use of Cryptocurrency Payment Services is subject to BitPay's terms of use. Each Cryptocurrency Payment Services provider may support different cryptocurrencies, however DeviantArt has full discretion regarding which cryptocurrencies will be available through the Cryptocurrency Payment Services on the DeviantArt platform. Please avoid paying in unsupported cryptocurrencies, as doing so may result in loss of funds.

While we hope to avoid such instances, DeviantArt may, at any time and at its sole discretion, suspend, disable access to or remove Cryptocurrency Payment Services without any liability to you or to any third party.

You assume the volatility risk of the cryptocurrencies in which cryptocurrency transactions occur.

Any refunds of cryptocurrency transactions are subject to DeviantArt's sole discretion.

DeviantArt enables you to use its DeviantArt Protect service (for qualifying images submitted as deviations), in order to detect potential infringements of your images that you submitted. By using DeviantArt Protect, you agree and acknowledge the following:

  1. The DeviantArt Protect service is limited to detecting potentially similar or near-identical images to your images identified on DeviantArt. There might be other similar images that we will not detect, and therefore, we encourage you to keep track of existing works.
  2. To use DeviantArt Protect, you will need to open an account with DeviantArt, and agree to these terms and to the DeviantArt general privacy policy.
  3. For images eligible for the DeviantArt Protect service, when a potential infringement is identified, we will send you a notice via email or via platform notification, of any potential similar image found. Upon receiving such a notice, you may choose if you wish to take action regarding such images or not (for example, by filing a DMCA takedown notice).
  4. We will not cause or initiate any legal procedures with respect to the similar images. If you believe that one of our results is infringing upon your image, we encourage you to take the proper reporting steps. DeviantArt will not be responsible, in any event, for such procedures. All results are indicating some similarity, but in no event will we determine or suggest if such work is indeed infringing or not.
  5. For Core Members, we provide the DeviantArt Protect service for all images published as deviations. For non-Core users, we offer the DeviantArt Protect service for 90 days as of the day when the image was submitted as a deviation.

24. Data Scraping & Machine Learning Activities

DeviantArt is a community of creators that invests significant time and resources to protect its users and foster a cooperative and collaborative environment. Out of respect for its users' choices, DeviantArt has developed clear directives to communicate when its users do not consent to their Content being downloaded and used by third parties for the purposes of developing or operating artificial intelligence or other machine learning systems ("Artificial Intelligence Purposes"). Unless you actively give your consent, for Artificial Intelligence Purposes, DeviantArt will include a robots meta tag with the "noai" or "noimageai" directive in the head section of the HTML page associated with that Content on the Site, and will include an X-Robots-Tag HTTP response header with the "noai" directive when media files associated with that Content are downloaded from the Service. DeviantArt encourages adoption of these directives across other creative platforms, so that creators are able to share their artistic creations with online audiences without fear of losing control of their own works.

DeviantArt expects all users accessing the Service or the Site to respect creators' choices about the acceptable use of their Content, including for Artificial Intelligence Purposes. When a DeviantArt user does not consent to third party use of their Content for Artificial Intelligence Purposes, other users of the Service and third parties accessing the Site are prohibited from using such Content (labeled as "noai" and/or "noimageai") (i) to train an artificial intelligence system, (ii) as input into any previously trained artificial intelligence system, or (iii) to make available any derivative copy unless usage of that copy is subject to conditions at least as restrictive as those set out here. Automated systems or users that fail to respect these choices will be considered to have breached these Terms.

DeviantArt provides no guarantees that "noai" or "noimageai" directives will be present each time Content is accessed, even if the creator does not consent to use of that Content for Artificial Intelligence Purposes; and absence of such directives does not imply creator consent has been granted.

Users acknowledge that by uploading Content to DeviantArt, third-parties may scrape or otherwise use their works without permission. DeviantArt provides no guarantees that third parties will not include certain Content in external data sources, or otherwise use a creator's work for Artificial Intelligence Purposes, even when such directives are present. By prohibiting such conduct, DeviantArt makes no guarantees that it will pursue each unauthorized use of the Service, and the owners of the works are responsible for policing their own works to the extent permitted by law.

29. Works and Services offered for Sale

31. Identifying where Your Content was created with Generative AI Programs or AI Tools

Where your Content is offered for sale on DeviantArt (including Commissions, Premium Downloads, Premium Galleries, Subscriptions, and Exclusives) and was created using Generative AI Programs or AI Tools, you must clearly tag or label your Content using as “Created using AI tools”. Where your Content is not being offered for Sale on DeviantArt and was created using Generative AI Programs or AI Tools, we recommend that you clearly tag or label your Content using as “Created using AI tools”.

With regards to the DreamUp Service, content generated using the DreamUp Service will automatically be tagged as created with DreamUp. For more information about the DreamUp service, read here or read the DreamUp policy.

Any content uploaded to the Site that has been tagged, labeled, or otherwise marked “Created using AI tools” via the functionality provided by the platform will be known as “Created Using AI Tools Content.” You are solely responsible for complying with the requirement to tag or label your content as “Created Using AI Tools Content” on DeviantArt.

Under this Agreement, your Content is considered to be created using Generative AI Programs or AI Tools where the primary or material portion of your Content is generated with Generative AI Programs or AI Tools, whether characters, backgrounds, or other major elements. Your Content is not considered to be created using Generative AI Programs or AI Tools merely for use of features that solely operate on your Content (e.g. content-aware fill) or that don't introduce material Generative AI elements into your work (e.g. AI based image upscaling).
