Welcome to our online storefront. All content, imagery, and custom artwork featured across this website are protected under applicable United States and international intellectual property laws. By accessing, browsing, or purchasing from this site, you agree to abide by the proprietary terms outlined below.

Ownership of Original Artwork

All original vector map artwork, custom illustrations, graphic typography, apparel concepts, and product design layouts featured on this storefront are the exclusive creative property of the store owner. Under United States copyright law, creative works receive immediate copyright protection upon creation and fixation in a tangible medium. A formal government registration certificate is not required to hold, exercise, or enforce these exclusive proprietary rights.

1. Explicit Restrictions on Usage

We take the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of our creative designs very seriously. Unless granted explicit, written contractual permission by the store owner, you are strictly prohibited from performing any of the following actions:

  • Unauthorized Printing: Downloading, ripping, screenshotting, or extracting high-resolution artwork, vector maps, or mockups from our web pages to print or manufacture physical items on your own.

  • POD Plagiarism: Re-uploading our original artwork to third-party print-on-demand fulfillment platforms (such as Printify, Printful, Redbubble, Amazon Merch, Zazzle, or Teespring) for personal use or commercial sale.

  • Derivative Works: Modifying, altering, changing colorways, adding text, or creating derivative variations of our river maps and apparel illustrations for any purpose.

  • Commercial Exploitation: Utilizing our original imagery, product photos, logos, or typography layouts to promote outside commercial enterprises, social media entities, or competing digital stores.

2. Permitted Personal & Social Sharing

We fully encourage community engagement and sharing our appreciation for these water systems. You are welcome to share images of our physical items or storefront links under the following guidelines:

  • You may share flat-lay or lifestyle images of our products on personal social media channels, provided that clear, visible design credit is given to our store and the original post links directly back to our active e-commerce site.

  • You may pin our product pages to Pinterest or include our store in public gift guides, provided that the link redirects traffic directly to our active domain.

3. Intellectual Property Infringement Enforcement

As an independent, solo-operated creator, protecting original design work is vital to our operational survival. We actively monitor digital marketplaces, social media platforms, and print-on-demand networks for unauthorized usage or cloning of our artwork.

Any detected instance of design theft, copyright infringement, or unauthorized commercial reproduction will result in immediate legal action. This includes, but is not limited to, the submission of formal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Takedown Notices to host servers and e-commerce platforms, permanent account bans on offending storefronts, and the pursuit of financial damages for statutory infringement.
