History of Ontario's Kings Highways - Copyright Information, Sources & Disclaimer

All of the photographs and maps depicted on this website are copyrighted images, and are not public domain! Most of the images are mine, but some of them do not belong to me. Permission was generously granted to me by the various copyright holders of these images for exhibition only on this site. Any other use is prohibited and is a violation of copyright laws in Canada, the United States and most other countries. The copyright permission that I have obtained does not allow for the copying, downloading, saving, transferring or any other use of these images by any other third party. Please email me first for permission if you wish to use any images on this site. If they are my images, I will very likely grant permission for you to use them, providing that the source is documented. If the images are not mine, copyright clearance will have to be obtained from the respective copyright holder.

All highway signs depicted on this site that are not "road-side" photographs were obtained legally. The signs were generously donated by various individuals and MTO/municipal offices as a contribution to this historical website project. Unless noted otherwise, all road-side sign pictures used on this website were taken by (and are thus the property of) the Webmaster. Some images of older signs have been donated to me by various interested parties, and these images have been specifically noted as to their source.

Please note that I have a zero-tolerance policy for copyright violation and plagiarism. Be aware that I perform regular web searches on Google to confirm that my photographs (or those photographs that have been donated to me) are not being used on other websites without my permission. If I find that photographs from this website are being used on a different website without my authorization, the website owner may face civil and/or criminal prosecution for copyright violation. The same policy also applies to the plagiarism of my research work. I take these matters very seriously and I have little patience for those individuals who infringe upon my copyright.
