• Intellectual Property: The Artist retains the copyright and moral rights to the image as the creator.
• The Covenant of Singularity: The Artist contractually agrees NOT to reproduce, reprint, license, or publish the digital source of the Client's portrait. The digital source is destroyed or permanently archived offline solely for legal proof of authorship, never for reproduction.
