1. AI-Generated Content

Curiosa uses artificial intelligence to analyze photos of collectibles and antiques. All valuations, identifications, historical context, and rarity assessments are generated by AI algorithms and should be treated as estimates only.

AI technology, while sophisticated, has inherent limitations. Results may vary based on photo quality, lighting, angle, and the AI's training data. The AI may misidentify items, provide inaccurate dates, or estimate values that differ significantly from actual market prices.

2. Not Professional Advice

The information provided by Curiosa does not constitute professional appraisal, valuation, authentication, or any form of expert opinion. Our service is not a substitute for consultation with qualified, certified professional appraisers, antique dealers, or auction houses.

We strongly recommend obtaining professional appraisals for any items of significant value or historical importance before making decisions based on our estimates.

3. Accuracy Limitations

We cannot guarantee the accuracy of:

• Item identifications and attributions
• Estimated values and price ranges
• Era and date estimations
• Rarity scores and assessments
• Historical context and provenance information
• Artist, maker, or brand attributions

Market conditions fluctuate constantly, and item values can vary significantly based on condition, provenance, regional demand, and current market trends.

4. AI Model Limitations

Our AI technology has specific limitations that users should understand:

• Training Data: The AI is trained on publicly available auction records, catalogs, and databases, which may not include all items or recent sales
• Photo Quality: Results depend heavily on image clarity, lighting, and angle. Poor photos yield less accurate results
• Obscure Items: Rare, regional, or highly specialized items may not be well-represented in our training data
• Condition Assessment: The AI cannot fully assess physical condition, repairs, or restoration from photos alone
• Provenance: Without documentation, the AI cannot verify claims of ownership history or authenticity

5. Market Volatility

The antiques and collectibles market is inherently volatile. Values can change dramatically based on:

• Economic conditions and collector sentiment
• Auction results and market discoveries
• Cultural trends and media exposure
• Regional demand variations
• Changes in collecting fashions

Our estimates reflect a snapshot in time and should not be considered stable or guaranteed values.

6. Prohibited Uses

Curiosa Cabinet estimates should NOT be used for:

• Insurance claims or coverage decisions
• Legal proceedings or disputes
• Estate valuations or probate
• Tax filings or deductions
• Authentication or certification purposes
• Major purchase or sale decisions without independent verification
• Any official documentation or formal valuation needs
