However, we still aim to identify the original source where practical and appropriate.

Public-domain status can vary by jurisdiction and by the specific circumstances surrounding a work.

We may request additional information about the image’s source or licensing when necessary.

9. AI-Assisted or AI-Generated Visual Content

PrayandWishes may use AI-assisted tools or image-generation technologies to create original graphics or visual concepts.

Where such tools are used, we aim to create original visual content and avoid intentionally reproducing copyrighted artwork, protected branding, or another creator’s distinctive work without permission.

AI-generated or AI-assisted content may be edited, combined, or redesigned by our content team before publication.

Third-party platforms and users may have their own terms regarding content displayed or shared on their services.
