Copyright ownership

Unless otherwise noted, original articles, text, photographs, illustrations, and other creative work on this website are copyrighted by Tomas Dawson or the individual creator credited with the work. All rights reserved.

Some pages include third-party photographs, map data, product names, trademarks, linked resources, or embedded content. Those materials remain the property of their respective owners and may have their own licenses or usage terms. Displaying them here does not transfer ownership to All Points West.

Sharing and linking

You are welcome to share links to All Points West pages or articles, including a short description of the linked page. Please credit All Points West when referring to our original work.

Do not reproduce entire articles, republish our photographs, sell or commercially reuse our original materials, or distribute substantial portions of our work without permission, except as permitted by applicable law. Giving credit alone does not replace permission where permission is required.

Photography and content permissions

For permission to use an original photograph, article excerpt, map illustration, or other material, please contact us before publication. Include a link to the material, explain the proposed use, and identify where it will appear. Depending on the use, we may grant permission, request attribution, or offer a written licensing agreement.

Contact All Points West about permissions.

Embedding images and hotlinking

Please link to an article or gallery page rather than embedding image-file URLs hosted by All Points West directly on another website without authorization. Directly embedding hosted images can consume our bandwidth and bypass context or credit for the work. Contact us if you would like to feature an image.

No AI crawling, scraping, or training

All Points West does not authorize AI-specific crawlers, bots, agents, or other automated systems to crawl, scrape, harvest, download, or systematically extract content from this website without prior written permission. This restriction applies to original text, photographs, galleries, maps, and archived material.

We do not grant permission to use website content to create AI training or evaluation datasets, train or fine-tune machine-learning models, create embeddings or retrieval datasets, or otherwise repurpose our original work for generative AI systems without prior written authorization.

Normal indexing of publicly available pages by general-purpose search engines is not intended to grant a license for AI training or automated reuse. Nothing in this policy limits uses authorized by applicable law.

Fair use and other exceptions

Nothing on this page is intended to limit rights available under applicable copyright law, including fair use or other legally permitted exceptions.
