LOTUS disclaimer

SECTION 1 – FICTIONAL NATURE OF THE NARRATIVE

This is a work of fiction where the author conceived and directed the narrative, with AI serving as a collaborative tool to assist in generating certain elements. The AI’s collaboration does not constitute endorsement or understanding of the mentioned brands, products, or services. Unless otherwise indicated, the names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents in LOTUS are fictitious and may have been created through a combination of the author’s imagination and AI-driven creativity. Any resemblance to actual persons or actual events is purely coincidental.

SECTION 2 – FICTITIOUS REPRESENTATION OF THOUSAND PETALED

Readers are advised to interpret all mentions of Thousand Petaled (used here as a fictional name inspired by the thousand-petaled lotus), Maison Mille Pétale, its brand iconoclastic effigy Sam, its clothing, products, services, any physical store depicted, the Terror Gang, or the Éclat Forty within this fictional narrative and not as factual information about the brand; these mentions do not constitute endorsements or factual representations. Similarly, should the term “LOTUS” appear within the fictional narratives of LOTUS, it is to be understood as part of the fictional story and not as a factual reference to the journal or the Thousand Petaled brand unless explicitly stated otherwise within the narrative’s context.

SECTION 3 – EXISTING BRAND ELEMENTS IN A FICTITIOUS CONTEXT

Note that Maison Mille Pétale and the brand’s creative and promotional teams, which may include the Terror Gang and the Éclat Forty (both of which may appear individually), are existing elements of the Thousand Petaled brand (the presenter of LOTUS) and may appear in this fictional narrative, as may be the brand’s iconoclastic effigy, Sam. Should “LOTUS” (referring to the journal or a related concept) also appear within the fictional narrative, its depiction is entirely fictional and separate from its real-world association with the journal and the Thousand Petaled brand. Any depiction of these elements, including their characteristics and actions, is entirely fictional and should not be taken as factual representations of the actual brand, its creative and promotional teams, or iconoclastic effigy. Any similarity to other “Sam” characters or potential “LOTUS” references in this or other works by the author is purely coincidental and separate.

SECTION 4 – FICTITIOUS PHYSICAL STORE DEPICTION

Please be aware that while the brand Thousand Petaled exists and operates primarily online, any depiction of a physical store in this work, including any store operating under the name Maison Mille Pétale, is entirely fictional and does not represent a real-world establishment.

SECTION 5 – READER UNDERSTANDING

We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to enjoy LOTUS accordingly.
