Copyright, attribution & reporting

Artists keep their rights

Publishing on Artāwhai does not transfer ownership of the artwork or its copyright to Artāwhai. Artists grant only the limited permissions needed to store, display, resize, promote and operate their Artāwhai records under the Beta Terms.

Authority to publish

Uploaders must be the creator or have clear authority from the relevant rights holder. They must not falsely attribute work, remove another creator’s attribution or publish infringing copies.

Artāwhai display versions

Artāwhai preserves the original upload and may create separate artist-edited and published display versions. QR and provenance overlays support connection to the official record and do not create ownership of the underlying artwork.

Reporting

A rights holder or authorised representative can submit a report through the support page. Include contact details, the exact Artāwhai link, the right you claim, why the content is unauthorised and any supporting material.

Response

Artāwhai may temporarily hide content while assessing a credible report, request information from the artist, restore content where the concern is not substantiated or remove content where appropriate. Repeat or deliberate infringement may lead to account restrictions.

No misuse

Reports must be honest and made in good faith. Artāwhai may reject incomplete, abusive or knowingly false reports.
