Headings

The head­ings in these Terms are includ­ed for con­ve­nience only and don’t affect their inter­pre­ta­tion.

1. Disclaimer

This Site is pro­vid­ed on an “as-is” and “as-avail­able” basis. We do our best to ensure the accu­ra­cy of the infor­ma­tion, but we make no guar­an­tees. Specif­i­cal­ly, we don’t guar­an­tee that the Site’s con­tent, tools, prod­ucts, or ser­vices will be unin­ter­rupt­ed, secure, time­ly, or error-free.

All con­tent on this Site reflects the per­son­al opin­ions of Paul Kou­nine, regard­less of how fac­tu­al­ly or author­i­ta­tive­ly it is pre­sent­ed. It is not pro­fes­sion­al advice, and you should ver­i­fy any infor­ma­tion before rely­ing on it.

2. Limitation of Liability

The Site may include advice, instruc­tions, or tips for pho­tog­ra­phy, com­put­er use, and relat­ed equip­ment. Expo­sure Ther­a­py is not respon­si­ble for any dam­ages result­ing from actions or inac­tions based on this con­tent. This includes, but isn’t lim­it­ed to, direct, indi­rect, inci­den­tal, or con­se­quen­tial dam­ages, or reliance on the accu­ra­cy, cur­ren­cy, or com­plete­ness of the infor­ma­tion.

3. Intellectual Property and Copyright

Unless stat­ed oth­er­wise, all con­tent on this Site is owned by Paul Kou­nine and is pro­tect­ed by Cana­di­an copy­right laws and inter­na­tion­al con­ven­tions. You may not copy, mod­i­fy, pub­lish, or dis­trib­ute any con­tent with­out pri­or writ­ten per­mis­sion.

Trademarks

All trade­marks and trade names men­tioned on the Site belong to their respec­tive own­ers. Their inclu­sion does not grant you any rights to use them with­out per­mis­sion.

Copyright Enforcement and Licensing

If you’d like to use any con­tent from the Site, please con­tact us to arrange a licence. Stan­dard licens­ing fees are sig­nif­i­cant­ly low­er than the unau­tho­rized use fees out­lined below.

4. Unauthorized Use Convenience Fee

Using any con­tent from this Site with­out pri­or writ­ten per­mis­sion means you agree to retroac­tive­ly pur­chase a licence for the use. The con­ve­nience fee for this retroac­tive licence is $5,000 CAD per work, per day.

Def­i­n­i­tion of Work: A “work” refers to any indi­vid­ual piece of con­tent pub­lished on this Site, includ­ing but not lim­it­ed to:

  • Pho­tographs, graph­ics, or illus­tra­tions;
  • Arti­cles, blog posts, or oth­er writ­ten text;
  • Videos, audio files, or oth­er media for­mats;
  • Any part of a col­lec­tion or com­pi­la­tion (e.g., gal­leries, guides, or port­fo­lios).

This fee reflects the con­ve­nience of skip­ping the stan­dard per­mis­sion process and cov­ers the costs of iden­ti­fy­ing and address­ing unau­tho­rized use.

If you pre­fer to avoid this fee, please con­tact us in advance to license con­tent prop­er­ly.

We reserve the right to pur­sue fur­ther legal reme­dies if the unau­tho­rized use caus­es addi­tion­al harm.

5. Privacy Policy

If you pro­vide per­son­al infor­ma­tion (e.g., through con­tact forms or email), we han­dle it accord­ing to our Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy. Please review that pol­i­cy to under­stand how we col­lect, store, and use your data.
