Rights & Ownership

Rights & Ownership

umanmade™ exists to showcase original human-made work while respecting the rights of the people who create it.

Creators keep ownership of the work they submit. Submitting work to umanmade™ does not transfer copyright, intellectual property rights, or ownership.

1. You own your work

When you submit work, you remain the owner of your work.

umanmade™ does not claim ownership over any submitted project, visual, code, media, process material, source file, proof file, description, or other creative asset provided by you.

By submitting work, you confirm that you either own the rights to the work or have permission to submit and display it.

2. You allow umanmade™ to display your submission

By submitting work, you give us permission to:

Review your submission
Publish it in the directory
Feature it across the website
Promote or share it through related channels

This permission is only for operating, curating, promoting, and maintaining the directory.

It does not mean umanmade™ owns your work.

3. Proof files are used for review

Some submissions may include proof of original creation, such as:

Process screenshots
Video recordings

These files are used to help review whether the work was made by the person submitting it and whether it matches our human-made criteria. Proof files are used for review only and are not intended to be published publicly unless clearly stated or agreed otherwise.

4. Curated work we find

umanmade™ may sometimes feature publicly available work that we find interesting, even if it was not submitted directly by the creator.

When we do this, we aim to credit the original creator clearly and link back to the source whenever possible.

Featuring publicly available work does not mean we own that work or claim any rights over it.

If you are the creator or rights holder of featured work and would like it removed, updated, credited differently, or linked to a different source, you can contact us with the relevant details.

5. You are responsible for what you submit

By submitting work, you confirm that:

Work is your own original creation, or you have the rights and permission to submit it
Work does not infringe another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy rights, or intellectual property
Work was not generated using AI tools or AI-generated assets
any third-party assets, fonts, mockups, plugins, libraries, textures, templates, or resources used in the work are properly licensed
Proof you provide is accurate and not misleading

umanmade™ may remove submissions if there are concerns about ownership, originality, licensing, AI use, or misleading proof.

6. Being featured does not make the work free to use

Work featured on umanmade™ remains protected by the creator’s rights.

Visitors may view featured work for inspiration, but they may not:

copy it
reproduce it
resell it
redistribute it
modify it
claim it as their own
train AI systems on it
use it commercially without permission from the original creator

A project appearing on umanmade™ does not mean it is free to use.

7. Requesting removal

If you submitted work and want it removed from umanmade™, you can contact us at takedown@umanmade.com and request removal.

If your work has been featured and you would like it removed, updated, credited differently, or linked to a different source, contact us with the relevant details and we will review the request.

If you believe work published on umanmade™ infringes your rights, uses your material without permission, was submitted by someone who does not own it, or has been credited incorrectly, you can contact us with the relevant details.

We may remove, hide, or update work while reviewing ownership, rights, attribution, licensing, originality, or AI-use concerns.

8. We may decline or remove submissions

umanmade™ is a curated directory.

We may decline, hide, edit, or remove submissions at our discretion, especially if a submission does not meet the platform’s criteria or raises concerns around:
