Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and FTC

By entering this site/blog, you agree to observe all USA Federal and International Copyright Laws. IF YOU AGREE to the following, come on in and have fun!

Basically, play nice! Don't steal photos and/or stories and claim them as your own.

NO REFUNDS on digital products, which is standard online policy.
Flagrant violations will result in legal action.
NEVER copy/paste blocks of text or reproduce all or part of any web page or information. Google penalizes for “duplicate content.”
DO NOT claim my text or photos as yours.
It's fine to write about my work in your own words. You can quote one line with credit. Just don't lift whole parts and put on your site. That is called stealing.

Photos, Text, Videos, Audio:

I OWN all photos and text unless otherwise noted.
My photos are NOT "public domain," "creative commons," etc because they are online, in books, or whatever.
All images watermarked with my name are copyrighted.
All images without any watermark are also copyrighted.
If you attempt to sell or license or in ANY way profit from MY photos or original text, you can expect a nasty letter from my attorney. Or worse.
You do not use MY photos or MY stories to derive courses, art, merchandise, articles, books, movies, documentaries or anything based upon MY intellectual property UNLESS you contact and credit me.
You do not link to my photos by using my bandwidth (no hotlinking). You never embed my pages or posts or layouts into your site.
You merely write your own text and/or link to my photos WITH live linked credit.
I've licensed my photos for legitimate projects for decades. Just contact me and we can work it out.
All images and text are the legal property according to watermarks and written information in the text. Images are IP or 'intellectual property.'
If you object to my usage of your IP or text, or incorrectly credited (sometimes it's very difficult to figure out whom created what, watermarking helps but few take that step), pls write me and I will remove them.

Give credit where credit is due.

FTC:

Federal Trade Commission Law requires this disclosure: clicking on links might result in added revenue for me. I never write or promote any product unless I've personally used or researched it.
Reality check: money from click-throughs and affiliate sales don't pay my monthly net bill.
Many links are purely for entertainment and not affiliated with any revenue.
