Westarctica:Copyrights

The Encyclopedia Westarctica is the result of creative efforts by a number of individuals who have licensed their text, image(s), audios, or videos (herein referred to as the Work) to be viewed here. By submitting any written work to the Encyclopedia Westarctica the Submitter avers that the work is either in the public domain or that the Submitter is the sole or joint Copyright holder with authority to grant its use, including possible commercial reuse without compensation, both here and elsewhere. For Copyrighted visual work, the Submitter is permitted to upload their own such works and assign whatever copyright license he or she might wish. However, the Encyclopedia has no power to enforce restrictive copyrights, and the uploader of any work which is subsequently infringed upon by a third party must pursue a legal claim with that third party without the assistance or intervention of the Encyclopedia.

Submitter hereby warrant and represent that he or she has the full right, power, and authority to grant the permission requested herein and that use of the work will not violate any rights of any third party. Submitter further agrees that if the above representations concerning copyright ownership are determined to be incorrect or false, resulting in copyright infringement, that Submitter shall indemnify the Encyclopedia for any resulting out-of-pocket expenses arising from defending and/or settling such litigation.

Commensurate with this, the Encyclopedia refuses to host any work which is fully protected by copyright by someone other than the uploader, and will remove any such work it discovers. If you have concerns about any part of the Encyclopedia which you believe infringes on your or another person's copyright, you are asked to contact us at info@westarctica.info and request that the offending material be removed. Your inquiry will be given immediate attention, and if there is any doubt as to the nature of the violation, the material will be withdrawn from the site.
