INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Unless otherwise indicated, original photography, videography, audio recordings, graphics, written content, and other creative materials displayed on this website are the intellectual property of Don Cudney / CUDNEY CREATIVE and are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, modification, publication, licensing, or commercial use of protected materials without prior written permission is prohibited, except as permitted by law.

CLIENT WORK & LICENSING

Commissioned projects may be subject to individual licensing agreements, copyright transfers, or qualifying work-for-hire arrangements. Unless otherwise specified in a written agreement, clients receive the usage rights outlined in their contracts. Payment for creative services does not automatically transfer copyright ownership.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & AI-ASSISTED CONTENT

CUDNEY CREATIVE incorporates artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into selected creative workflows, including image generation, photo enhancement, retouching, compositing, video production, audio processing, and post-production.

Certain content displayed on this website may be created, modified, or enhanced using AI-assisted tools. Such content may combine original photography, video, audio, human creative direction, and computer-generated elements.

Copyright protection applies to qualifying human-authored contributions, including original creative selections, arrangements, and modifications. Material generated entirely by artificial intelligence may not independently qualify for copyright protection under applicable U.S. law.

CUDNEY CREATIVE is committed to responsible AI use and creative transparency. AI-generated or substantially AI-modified material may be identified when appropriate to the project, client agreement, or applicable disclosure requirements.

Use of protected website content for unauthorized AI training, dataset creation, automated content extraction, or the development of competing generative models is expressly prohibited except where permitted by law or authorized in writing.

THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS

Certain portfolio projects may contain trademarks, logos, copyrighted materials, or recognizable individuals associated with clients, collaborators, or other third parties. Their inclusion is for portfolio, editorial, or illustrative purposes and does not imply ownership, sponsorship, or endorsement. All applicable third-party rights remain with their respective owners.
