Living in the Color Exhibit Disclaimers:

By checking the boxes below, you agree to the following:

I.)

This is a true story of my lived experience. It’s implied in the genre of personal narrative that the story is written through the eyes of the narrator, and small details of fact may be incorrect or conflated. To the best of my ability, I have re-created events, locales, people, and organizations from my memories of them. To maintain the anonymity of others, in some instances I may have changed the names of individuals and places, and the details of events. This personal narrative was written by memory, and mine is imperfect. I’ve done my best to be faithful to my experiences, and when possible, have consulted others who were also present during that time.

The views expressed in this story are solely mine, and should not be construed as medical, legal, or professional advice on any subject matter. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any content included in this personal narrative without seeking legal, medical, or other professional advice.

​

​

​II.)

Make sure that each photo falls in one of the four categories:

1) Own work: You own all rights to the image, usually meaning that you created it entirely yourself.

2) Licensed: You can prove that the copyright holder has released the image under an acceptable license. Note that photos are licensed for use only on certain "channels", or only for noncommercial or educational use, or under a license that doesn't allow for the creation of modified/derived works, are unsuitable. When in doubt, do not upload copyrighted images.

3) Public domain: You can prove that the image is in the public domain, i.e. free of all copyrights.

4) Fair use: You believe that the image meets the special conditions for non-free content, which exceptionally allow the use of unlicensed material, and you can provide an explicit non-free use rationale explaining why and how you intend to use it.

​

​

​III.)

Privacy Rights: When taking pictures of identifiable people, the subject's consent is not usually needed for straightforward photographs taken in a public place but is often needed for photographs taken in a private place. This type of consent is sometimes called a model release, and it is unrelated to the photographer's copyright. Because of the expectation of privacy, the consent of the subject should normally be sought before uploading any photograph featuring an identifiable individual that has been taken in a private place, whether the subject is named. Even in countries that have no law of privacy, there is a moral obligation on us not to upload photographs which infringe the subject's reasonable expectation of privacy. If you upload a self-portrait, your consent is presumed. Living in the Color will never sell, sublicense, or give your images to any third-party organization. If you choose to revoke your permission for LITC to use your Images, please submit the revocation in writing to: Living in the Color, Oak & Thyme P.O. Box 157 Boxford, MA 01921
