Image Purchasing Information and Use Policy

About the Images on the Juniper Level Botanic Garden Website

All of the images on the Juniper Level Botanic Garden website or photo gallery were captured by Tony and Anita Avent unless otherwise identified. These images are copyrighted and cannot be used for any purpose without express permission from JLBG. Please send all image use requests to images@jlbg.org.

Please remember, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) allows the owners of a stolen copyrighted image to require your ISP to either remove the stolen image or remove your website entirely. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA) We have found this very effective in gaining the attention of offending parties.
