Before taking on commercial gigs, you gotta lay out the copyright stuff with the client upfront—don’t wait until delivery to start arguing. A few non-negotiable points: what license is your base model and LoRA under, any commercial restrictions; whether your training data includes obvious third-party works or well-known IPs; and whether the generated images can claim ownership in the client’s region.
A lot of platforms bury their commercial terms deep, and the free tier usually doesn’t allow commercial use. I always put in the contract whether I’m granting a usage license or full ownership, and make it clear the client is responsible for the final use case.
Character and brand jobs are especially tricky—easy to accidentally resemble existing IPs. Sorting it out upfront saves way more hassle than lawsuits later. Do you guys add a specific AI generation clause in your contracts when taking orders?
