Image License & Usage Terms

1. Ownership

All photography, illustrations, maps, and other visual works published on elizabethcharlotteliving.com are the original work of, or licensed to, Discover Elizabeth, and are protected under 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. and applicable international copyright treaties. No transfer of copyright occurs by viewing, downloading, caching, or linking to any image.

2. Permitted uses without a separate license

• Personal, non-commercial viewing in a standard web browser, including browser caching.
• Indexing and display of thumbnails by general-purpose search engines for the purpose of linking users back to the originating page on this Site.
• Quotation of a single image in editorial commentary, criticism, or news reporting about this Site, where the image is accompanied by a visible credit reading Discover Elizabeth and a functioning link to the page on which it appears.

3. Prohibited uses

• Commercial use of any kind, including use in marketing, advertising, listing presentations, brochures, signage, or social media promotion of a product or service.
• Resale, sublicensing, redistribution, or inclusion in a stock or template library.
• Use of images as training data for machine learning or generative models, and automated bulk collection or scraping of images, as further described in our DMCA & Copyright Policy.
• Alteration, cropping, recoloring, or compositing that changes the subject or implies an endorsement, affiliation, or factual claim not made by this Site.
• Removal, obscuring, or alteration of credits, watermarks, or embedded metadata.

4. Attribution format

Where attribution is required or permitted, credit should read: Photograph courtesy of Discover Elizabeth, elizabethcharlotteliving.com — with the domain rendered as a live link where the medium allows.

5. Requesting a license

Requests for commercial, print, or extended use are considered case by case. A request should identify the specific page and image, the intended use, the medium, the territory, and the duration. Use the channels listed on our Contact page; no license is granted unless it is granted in writing.

6. Third-party material

Where a visual work is credited to a third party, that party's own terms control and this page grants nothing with respect to it. Names, logos, and trademarks of third parties remain the property of their owners and are used only for identification and commentary, as described on our Disclaimers page.

7. Enforcement and changes

Unauthorized use may be met with a takedown notice under the procedure set out in our DMCA & Copyright Policy, and with any other remedy available at law. These terms may be updated; the version published here at the time of your use governs that use. See also our Terms of Use.
