Jeff Gnass, Inc. All material ("content") on this website,
in whole and in part, is the property of Jeff Gnass, Inc.

but is not limited to, photographs, illustrations, graphics, artwork, text, lists, articles,
and data. Also protected is all application, database, web page and web server programming,
and other software created by, or licensed by, Jeff Gnass, Inc.

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

property rights.
- We do not allow any photographs, on our website or published anywhere else, to be reproduced

we have entered into with our clients in order to protect the interests they have acquired by
licensing our images. In many cases, violation of the copyright of our photographs impacts
more than just us. Such a violation will often cause collateral infringement of the
intellectual property of a Fortune 500 company, in which case violators are responsible
and liable for additional damages incurred by our clients.

"Jeff Gnass, Inc." or
"Jeff Gnass Photography™",
the copyright symbol, and all identification marks and attributions must remain affixed to
the content in whatever form the content is stored or transmitted. Comp images may be
transmitted to your client for review and approval. No distribution beyond this limited
usage is permitted by you or your clients. Unless agreed to in writing, content may only be
stored in electronic form for a period of 30 days, after which all copies must be effectively
