Copyright & Terms of Use

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

1. Ownership & Intellectual Property

© 2026 yamworks.com. All Rights Reserved. All images, text, graphics, and other creative content on this website are the exclusive property of yamworks.com and are protected by Bulgarian and international copyright laws. Unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or modification of any content on this website is strictly prohibited without the prior written consent of the copyright owner. In the same way, the use of any imagery, text, or creative assets from yamworks.com as a basis, reference, or component for the creation of new or derivative works—including but not limited to digital composites, paintings, illustrations, or AI-generated content—is strictly forbidden without the prior written consent of the copyright owner. For permission requests, please contact info@yamworks.com.

2. Creative Rights & Edition Policy

To maintain artistic freedom and business flexibility, yamworks.com explicitly reserves the following rights:

  • Alternative Edits: We reserve the right to produce, showcase, and sell different artistic edits, color grades, or crops of the same original image.
  • Limited Edition Definition: A “Limited Edition” designation applies strictly and exclusively to a specific combination of physical and artistic variables. Each edition is defined by its physical format and medium (e.g., A1 Giclée Print).
  • Variations of the Same Photograph: We reserve the right to release separate and distinct editions derived from the same photograph (source file/negative). Changes in post-production, color grading, monochrome conversion (B&W), or cropping constitute a new artistic interpretation and thus a separate edition.
  • Subject & Location Consistency: Furthermore, the artist reserves the right to capture and sell multiple distinct works featuring the same subject, location, or composition. Variations in camera/lens choice, camera handling technique, exposure settings, timing, season, lighting and environmental conditions (e.g., weather, time of the day, artificial lighting, flash arrangement) at the time of capture each constitute a separate work and may be sold as its own limited or edition.
  • Other Usages of Images & Distinction of Authenticity: yamworks.com reserves the right to use, license, and reproduce any image for other purposes—including books, magazines, exhibitions, or digital media—regardless of whether the image is also part of a limited print series. Such usage does not constitute an addition to the physical print edition count. Those images are “reproductions” subject to the following considerations:
    • Published Media: Numbering within a book or catalog or other media type refers to the edition of the media itself, not the image. A numbered book/magazine/other does not carry the same Certificate of Authenticity, the same custom-made accessories, or the hand-finished properties of a physical print.
    • Non-Equivalence: Acquisition of a numbered book/magazine/other does not grant the owner any claim to the limited physical print series. These are distinct artistic objects and are marketed, valued, and recorded as separate entities in the yamworks.com archive.
    • Attribution of Original Edition: To maintain the historical integrity of both the yamworks.com archive and the collectors’ archives, all reproductions—including those in books, catalogs, or other media will include a disclaimer to the image’s status as a reproduction of a Limited Edition Physical Print.

3. Collector’s Ownership & Usage Rights

When you purchase a print from yamworks.com, you are granted a “Restricted Ownership” of that specific physical unit:

  • Physical Possession & Resale: You own the physical artwork. You have the right to display, gift, or resell a specific piece of artwork. However, the sale does not constitute a transfer of copyright. None of the parties involved may reproduce, scan, or commercially exploit the work without the explicit written consent from the artist.
  • Restricted Commercial Use: Any commercial use—including using the print as a backdrop for paid advertisements or reproducing it on merchandise—is strictly prohibited without the explicit written consent from the artist.

4. Artistic Integrity & Representation

  • Integrity of Work: The artwork may not be distorted, mutilated, cropped, or modified in any way without the explicit written consent from the artist.
  • Color Accuracy: Because every monitor is calibrated differently, the physical print may vary in tone, saturation, or contrast from the digital preview on your screen. These variations are a natural part of the printing process and the calibration/accuracy of different screens.
  • Public Attribution: If a print is displayed in a commercial or public space (e.g., offices, hotels, galleries) or featured in a media publication, clear credit must be given to yamworks.com.

5. Distribution & Promotional Use

yamworks.com reserves the right to share and distribute content from this website on social media platforms for marketing or educational purposes. Furthermore, we reserve the right to authorize the use of imagery for editorial purposes in magazines, newspapers, books, and other digital or printed publications. All images belonging to limited editions will include a disclaimer stating they are “reproductions” of a limited series. By doing so we make sure the heritage of the collectors is being respected while spreading the stories to a broader audience.

6. Non-Profit & Philanthropy

yamworks.com may, at its sole discretion, provide prints for non-profit, educational, or exhibition purposes. These items are strictly classified as “Reproductions” and are governed by the following terms:

  • No Resale or Transfer: The recipient is prohibited from selling or auctioning the print. They are for display or study only. Donating the reproduction to a third party is possible given the prior explicit written consent of the artist.
  • Physical Differentiation: To protect the integrity of limited series, these reproductions will be produced on a different paper than the limited edition series and will lack the custom elements of a limited edition.
  • Authenticity & Numbering: These items are not part of the limited-edition count and do not include the same Certificate of Authenticity limited edition prints will have. They will be clearly marked as “H.C.” (Hors Commerce) or “Exhibition Copy.”.
  • Mandatory Disclaimer: These reproductions must include a disclaimer stating that the image originates from a limited edition series. This ensures the historical record of the work remains clear and points back to the official archive at yamworks.com and the archives of the collectors.

7. Prohibition of AI Training & Generative Usage

All images, text, and metadata hosted on yamworks.com are the exclusive intellectual property of the artist. As such, the following strict prohibitions apply to any and all content found on this platform:

  • Strict Prohibition: The use of any content from this site—including but not limited to original artworks, “Selections,” or “Reproductions”—for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, or developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, machine learning algorithms, or any automated generative technologies is strictly prohibited.
  • Derivative Works: Using these images as a basis, reference, or “seed” to generate new AI-created imagery is a violation of these terms and constitutes copyright infringement.
  • Opt-Out Notice: This site explicitly opts out of any “fair use” or “public domain” scraping for direct or indirect AI development. Any bypass of technical measures to harvest data for AI training or commercial datasets is a direct violation of yamworks.com‘s terms of use.

8. Enforcement

This website and its content may not be copied, reproduced, republished, or distributed in any way without written permission. Any unauthorized use—including the creation of derivative works, automated data scraping for AI training, or commercial reproduction—constitutes a violation of copyright and may result in legal action.
