Unless otherwise stated, the stories, text, website design, graphics, logos, and other original content published on TropStory are owned by TropStory or used with appropriate permission or rights.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
4.1 All Rights Reserved
Unless specific content indicates otherwise, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, publicly display, modify, sell, commercially exploit, or otherwise use substantial portions of TropStory’s original content without prior written permission, except where such use is permitted by applicable law.
This does not prevent ordinary personal use of the website, such as reading stories for personal enjoyment.
4.2 Original Writing and AI-Assisted Editing
The stories published on TropStory are original creative works published by TropStory.
In preparing some stories, TropStory may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with grammar, spelling, sentence structure, punctuation, clarity, and language correction.
AI tools are used as an editing and proofreading aid and do not necessarily generate the underlying story, plot, characters, or creative content.
The underlying creative content and editorial decisions remain the responsibility of TropStory.
4.3 AI-Generated Images
Certain images accompanying stories or other content on TropStory are generated using Google Gemini, an artificial intelligence image-generation tool.
These AI-generated images may be fictional, stylized, or may not accurately represent real people, places, objects, or events.
TropStory does not claim exclusive copyright ownership over purely AI-generated material to the extent that copyright protection may not be legally available under applicable law.
However, the selection, arrangement, presentation, and use of such images on TropStory may form part of TropStory’s original website content.
Unless otherwise stated or permitted by applicable law, you should not reproduce, redistribute, modify, or commercially use images published on TropStory without prior permission.
