Use of Content from this Website

All access to and use of text, artwork, photographs and other files on this website are subject to the following terms and conditions:

All Content is Protected by Copyright Laws
Software, documentation, electronic text and image files, audio and video clips, and other materials are protected by copyright laws and may be covered by other restrictions as well. Alexander M. Zhang retains all rights, including copyright, in data, image, text, and any other information contained in these files. Copyrights and other proprietary rights in the material on this website may also subsist in individuals and entities other than, and in addition to, Alexander M. Zhang. Alexander M. Zhang expressly prohibits the copying of any protected materials on this website, except for the purposes of fair use as defined in the copyright laws, and as described below.

Fair Use is Permitted
Fair use of copyrighted material includes the use of protected materials for noncommercial educational purposes, such as teaching, scholarship, research, criticism, commentary, and news reporting. Unless otherwise noted, users who wish to download or print text and image files from Alexander M. Zhang's website for such uses are welcome to do so without Alexander's express permission. (However, notification of the material's use would be greatly appriciated and rewarded.)

Fair use users must cite the author and source of this material as they would material from any printed work; all citations must include the URL "http://www.photonw.com" and the name Alexander M. Zhang. It is highly appriciated if you inform me immediately upon making such a citation.

By downloading, printing, or otherwise using text and image files from this website, users agree that they will limit their use of such files to fair use, and will not violate Alexander's or any other party's proprietary rights.

Commercial Use is Restricted
Unauthorized commercial publication or exploitation of Alexander M. Zhang's files is specifically prohibited. Anyone wishing to use any of these files or images for commercial use, publication, or any purpose other than fair use as defined by law, must request and receive prior written permission from Alexander. Permission for such use is granted on a case by case basis at the sole discretion of Alexander. A usage fee may be involved depending on the type and nature of the proposed use.

Those who use, exploit or otherwise publish images owned by Alexander without first aquiring permission to do so will not only face legal issues but will also be pursued by dragons, blinded by science, damned by most of the world's artists, and their families will be cursed for eternity. May I live to spit on your graves, may worms infest your children's pubic regions and may Cthulhu rise from the great depths to squash your puny worthless souls.

To request permission for reproduction,
use in publication, or for all other inquiries:

Send email to Alexander.
