PURCHASE DOES NOT CONVEY COPYRIGHT

Your purchase of a print, original artwork, or other products from The Animal Print Shop by Sharon Montrose is a purchase of an authorized physical copy (or copies) of a photograph, not of copyright in that photograph or of any rights protected by copyright, including but not limited to the right to reproduce or to publish the photograph. All rights in the photographs are reserved by Sharon Montrose Photographs, LLC, and any use beyond the display and personal enjoyment of the photograph(s) you purchase requires the prior written approval of Sharon Montrose Photographs, LLC, which may withhold its permission or limit any license granting permission for further use in its sole and unfettered discretion.

This reservation of rights applies equally to all photographs and other materials viewable on this website and/or offered for sale on this website regardless of format, including Limited Editions.

We respect the privacy of this website’s visitors and customers and pledge not to sell, loan, rent, trade, or give away any personal information that you offer during your visit, when you join our email list, when you establish a Wish List, or when you make a purchase. Personal information provided by you will be used only for the services requested, such as processing an order or for contacting you in response to an order or other request you have made, except for the following circumstances:

(1) In the course of operating this website it may be necessary or appropriate for us to provide access to your personal information to others such as our service providers, contractors, and select vendors so that we can operate this website and process orders. Where practical, we limit others’ use or disclosure of the information you have shared.

(2) We may share specific information you provide in connection with your Wish List to those visitors who seek to purchase items you have added to the list.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our secure sockets layer (SSL) uses the latest industry-standard encryption technology to help protect your personal information (especially your name, address, and credit card number) from getting into the wrong hands, and to minimize the possibility that this information could be intercepted as it travels to our payment processing system. However, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make efforts to ensure security on our systems. We use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information about you.

If we learn of a security breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using this website, or by providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of this website. We may post a notice on this website if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you will need a web browser enabling you to view this website. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us at talk(at)theanimalprintshop(dot)com.

CHILDREN UNDER 18

We do not sell products for purchase by children; however, many of our photographs and products may be attractive to children, and any photographs or products that are described as such or are meant for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use this website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

If you purchase a photograph or other product from this website and we are prohibited by U.S. law from sending it to the foreign address you designate, we will notify you and will either not process your order or will promptly refund any sums you have already paid to us.
