Disclaimers & Disclosures
Effective Date: November 1, 2025 | Last Updated: July 16, 2026
STRONG EXPLICIT AND SEXUAL CONTENT · 18+ RECOMMENDED
These Disclaimers & Disclosures apply to the creative works published by Aether & Ink, LLC, d/b/a M.J. Signe (the “Author”), including works made available on mjsigne.com and on third-party platforms. Where an individual work is preceded by its own content rating or list of triggers, that notice applies together with the statements below.
I. Mature Content Warning
The Author’s works contain mature themes, including explicit sex scenes and graphic descriptions of violence, and are rated “Mature.” They are intended for adults only and are not suitable for children or for some adults. Where a work is preceded by a list of content warnings or triggers, the reader should review that list before continuing. Reader discretion is advised.
II. Fiction Disclaimer
The story, characters, and specific locations in the Author’s novels are fictional. Certain long-standing institutions, established townships, agencies, and public offices may be mentioned, but the characters involved are wholly imaginary. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
Each work is a work of pure fiction meant solely for entertainment purposes. It is not intended to incite, allude to, make claims of, or encourage any beliefs or actions to be taken from the story or characters. The Author is not liable for any actions, feelings, or beliefs generated from these fictitious works. Strong discretion is advised.
III. Authorship and Use of AI (Text)
All writings and textual content are written by M.J. Signe (the “Author”) without the assistance or use of AI, except for grammatical corrections made using Grammarly’s “Grammar Checker.”
IV. AI-Generated Images
The images used in connection with the Author’s works are created using artificial intelligence (“AI”), specifically OpenArt.ai. Per OpenArt.ai’s policy as of this 16th day of July, 2026:
“OpenArt does not claim any rights to the images generated. The generations are not copyrighted by default. As currently directed by the U.S. Copyright Office, any AI-generated image automatically falls into the public domain. You may use, modify, and distribute the images commercially or non-commercially, as long as you do not consciously use it to create illegal or unethical content.”
The Author uses AI only to generate images of the characters in their work. AI-generated images are not the Author’s preferred method, and the Author intends to hire an artist to sketch and create original works of art if the Author publishes their books. The Author strongly encourages other writers to employ an artist, but understands that initial, free works of writing may use AI due to budget constraints.
V. Platform and Compensation Disclosure
The Author has not received any compensation from Wattpad or any other platform or affiliate for these works of fiction. Pursuant to the guidelines established by Wattpad, the Author has rated applicable works “Mature” due to explicit sex scenes and graphic descriptions of violence. These works are intended for adults only and are not suitable for children or for some adults. Reader discretion is advised.
VI. Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure
Some pages on mjsigne.com may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the Author may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The Author only links to products it believes may be of interest to readers, and participation in an affiliate program does not influence the content of the Author’s works.
VII. External Links
The Author’s works and website may link to third-party websites and platforms that the Author does not control. These Disclaimers do not apply to those sites, and the Author is not responsible for their content, products, or practices.
VIII. Copyright
© [YEAR] Aether & Ink, LLC, d/b/a M.J. Signe. All rights reserved. No part of the Author’s works may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form without prior written permission, except as permitted by copyright law.
