2. Use of the Site
Who this section is addressed to: anyone visiting this website. It is about the photographs published here — the work, shown publicly. It is not about the photographs you received as a client. If you are a headshot client, what you may do with your own images is set out on the Usage Rights page, and nothing in this section limits it.
This site is for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may view the Site and the Materials using your web browser solely for your own information, research or study. You must not otherwise download, reproduce, transmit (including broadcast), adapt, distribute, sell, modify, frame, upload to any third party website, post, print or otherwise use any of the Materials except as permitted by us with prior written consent.
In plain terms: a photograph on this Site may not be taken from it and used by anyone else — in an advertisement, a magazine, an article, a website, a social account, a print, or anywhere else — without written permission. That the Site is publicly accessible is not permission.

- violating any local, province, national or international law or regulation or any provision of these Terms;
- knowingly transmitting any material through the Site that contains adware, malware, spyware, software viruses, or any other computer code, files, or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;

3. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Mining
All rights in the Materials, including for text and data mining, artificial intelligence training, and similar technologies, are expressly reserved.
Without our prior written permission, the Materials — including the photographs, and equally the text, captions, keywords and metadata that accompany them — may not be used:
- to develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate or benchmark any artificial intelligence or machine learning system;
- for text or data mining, scraping, harvesting, or inclusion in any dataset or corpus, whether commercial or non-commercial;
- as an input to any artificial intelligence system in order to generate, render, edit, restyle or otherwise produce a new or derivative image, likeness, or imitation of style; or
- in any technology designed or intended for the identification of natural persons, including facial recognition and other biometric systems.
The people in these photographs sat for a photographer, not for a dataset. This reservation is made on their behalf as well as ours, and it is stated in the Site’s robots.txt as well as here.
