The photographic prints and written materials that I have produced for your portfolio are for the enjoyment of you and your family members. This is
a work for hire project whereby I retain all rights to the images. In this unique case, you have copyright release to use these materials in your
personal genealogical projects. I only have a few rules regarding the use of the photographs and other materials that I have produced which make
up your unique portfolio on your ancestral location or locations in Europe.
- If a family member of friend or other person wants a copy of a photo or photos in your portfolio, refer them to me or use the Order Form in your
portfolio. No copying on xerox type machines or by other means, including "picture from a picture" duplication methods. This is an
infringement on my copyright as a professional photographer.
- I encourage you to use the materials, photos and other pieces of your portfolio that I have produced in your family genealogy, including
scrapbooks, published books or pamphlets and other media, including CD-ROM or other computer publications. You may use the photographs on a family
Web Site or other means of sharing with your family members, or those on the Internet who are related to you. If you create a website using some or
all of your photographs, please notify me so that I can update your file. This prevents confusion in the future. You may scan your photographs into
your computer for sharing via the internet with your family. You do not have to ask for written release to use your photos or other written materials
that I have created for these purposes. You are not authorized under my guidelines to put your photos on CD-ROM or in other form for the purpose of
selling or for mass production for selling or for free distribution to people who are not connected with your immediate family. Any unauthorized
sales or distribution would result in legal action if discovered. I must take a firm stand on this issue to protect my rights and to date, this has
never been a problem.
- When or if you use the photographs and other materials that I have produced for your portfolio, you must credit me in the below manner. You may either
credit me under each photo or other material used, or use one single credit in the foreword portion of any book, pamphlet or other media (including Web
Sites and Internet postings). Please credit me in the following way:
Photograph by James Derheim, European Focus, Inc. (or)
Text Map by James Derheim, European Focus Inc.
As the creator of the images in your portfolio, I
retain all rights to their future use, including use for promotional purposes, sales to third parties and distribution as I see fit.
