TEMPLATE DRAFT

This text is a template draft. Before real use it must be reviewed by the responsible person and legal counsel, and the highlighted fields must be filled in. It is not legal advice.

Highlighted fields have not been filled in yet.

1. AI-assisted content

  • The hero video, editorial stills on producer and product cards, story and gallery images, and the site mascot (Gakkocan) were generated with generative AI tools or prepared with AI assistance. They are not photographs of a specific business, person or product; they are representative stills.
  • The chat assistant runs on a generative AI model and its replies are produced automatically (Terms of Use).
  • AI-assisted development tools were used while building the site's design and software; content and outputs were reviewed by team members.
  • Business names and stories were created as original fiction for the event and do not represent real people or businesses. Records are labelled “sample content”. No real-company logo, sales link or geographical-indication emblem is used.

The visual identity or mascot of the organising community has not been copied.

3. Map and geographic data

District boundaries come from geoBoundaries (gbOpen, source: OpenStreetMap / OSM Boundaries) and place and water features are derived from OpenStreetMap; both were simplified. © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. The database derived from this data is also under ODbL; the data files embedded in the site can be retrieved from the site's /data/ path. No requests are sent to third-party map servers to display the map.

4. Fonts

Headings use Gloock and body text uses Hanken Grotesk. Both are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, obtained via Google Fonts and served with the site. Copyright in the fonts belongs to their designers.

5. Open-source software

The site is built with open-source libraries such as Next.js, React, Three.js, React Three Fiber, drei, Motion, Tailwind CSS and Lucide. They are subject to their own licences (mostly MIT/ISC) and copyright belongs to their developers.

6. Text and information sources

Information in the Discover and story sections is based on the publicly available sources linked in the relevant records (e.g. Wikipedia, TÜRKPATENT geographical indication records, news and institution pages) and is written in our own words. The business list consists of fictional concepts created for the event. Information taken from Wikipedia is licensed CC BY-SA.

7. Producer names and logos

Producer names, addresses and stories are compiled from the team’s Elazığ almond-candy producer guide. The marks belong to the producers; a listing does not imply a commercial partnership.
