  2. None of the content on this website is in the public domain. No portion of this website may be downloaded, distributed, published, altered, stored, transmitted, or copied, electronically or by any other means known now or in the future, without express written permission from Jeff Gnass, Inc. or its designated agents. This rule applies to individuals, businesses, and organizations alike, with exceptions noted in paragraph IV, which allows for content usage by creative professionals. Content is watermarked, visibly and nonvisibly, to track and assure copyright protection. Violating copyright or trademark laws carries significant penalties. We have a record of diligently pursuing and successfully enforcing our intellectual property rights.

  3. Jeff Gnass, Inc. does not authorize any photographs, published on this website or anywhere else, to be reproduced for any purpose whatsoever without express written permission.

Jeff Gnass, Inc. is lawfully bound to uphold the licenses and contracts entered into with clients in order to protect the interests they have acquired through licensing. In many cases, violation of the copyright of our photographs impacts more than us.

Violators may be responsible for additional copyright infringement damages incurred by our clients.
