The Icora Constitution
We are building the world's first decentralized vector economy. Here is how we protect your rights, your earnings, and the integrity of the platform.
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Icora.
The Economy: From Prompts to Payouts
Icora isn't just a tool; it's a marketplace. We believe that Refinement is Value. Raw AI generations are abundant, but curated, cleaned, and organized SVG packs are scarce.
How to Earn Real Money:
- Tier 1: Hobbyist (Credits): Downloads of your published assets earn you System Credits to generate more.
- Tier 2: Verified Creator: Once you reach 1,000 downloads, you can apply for verification.
- Tier 3: Top Contributor (Cash): Verified Creators with active Pro subscriptions are eligible for the Royalty Pool.
Payouts: Top Contributors receive monthly payouts via Stripe, based on asset performance in the "Paid" marketplace tier. We share up to 85% of revenue with creators.
AI Copyright & Licensing
The Technology
Icora utilizes Google Gemini, Imagen, and other AI models to generate and trace imagery. The legal landscape of AI-generated content is rapidly evolving, below is our current stance based on the U.S. Copyright Office's January 2025 guidance and the D.C. Circuit's ruling in Thaler v. Perlmutter, affirmed March 2025.
Copyright Status of AI-Generated Content
Purely AI-Generated Output: Under current U.S. law, images generated solely by AI, from a text prompt alone, without significant human creative input beyond the prompt itself, are not eligible for copyright protection. This means no one, not you, not Icora, and not the AI provider, holds copyright over such output. As a result, purely AI-generated images cannot be exclusively owned by anyone, and third parties are not legally prevented from using identical or similar outputs.
Human-Modified Works: The U.S. Copyright Office recognizes that when a human author makes meaningful creative contributions to AI-generated material, such as editing vector paths, adjusting shapes, combining elements, or curating arrangements, the resulting human-authored portions may be eligible for copyright protection. This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, minor or purely mechanical edits may not qualify. The more substantial and creative your modifications, the stronger your potential copyright claim.
Ownership & Rights Assignment
Icora does not claim any ownership interest in content you generate or create using the Service. To the extent that any intellectual property rights may exist in your outputs or modifications, those rights belong to you, the user. Google's Gemini API terms similarly do not claim ownership of generated outputs.
Note: Because purely AI-generated content is currently not copyrightable, "ownership" in the traditional copyright sense may not apply to unmodified AI output. We encourage you to use the Icora Studio to add meaningful human creativity if copyright protection matters to you.
Commercial Use License
Icora grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use assets you generate on the platform for commercial purposes, including:
- Client Websites
- Mobile Apps
- Print Merchandise
- Video Games
This license permits use, but does not constitute a guarantee of copyright ownership. Because AI-generated content may not be copyrightable, you may not be able to prevent others from independently using similar AI-generated designs.
Prohibited Use & Liability
While we empower you to create, you are solely responsible for the content you generate, publish, and distribute. You are the pilot; the AI is the engine.
Trademarks & Third-Party IP
Do not prompt the AI to generate existing trademarks, logos, or copyrighted characters, e.g., "Mickey Mouse" or "Nike Swoosh." If you generate and distribute content that infringes third-party intellectual property, you bear sole legal responsibility. Icora will respond to valid takedown requests in accordance with our DMCA policy below.
Platform Abuse
You may not scrape our marketplace, reverse engineer our APIs, or use platform assets to train competing AI models. Accounts found doing this will be banned, and earnings forfeited.
DMCA Takedown Procedure
If you believe content on Icora infringes your copyright, submit a DMCA takedown notice to legal@icora.io, including: (1) identification of the copyrighted work, (2) identification of the infringing material and its location on the platform, (3) your contact information, (4) a statement of good faith belief, and (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that you are the rights holder, or authorized to act on their behalf. We will remove or disable access to the material upon receipt of a valid notice.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ICORA AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ICORA IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
