NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, DIGITAL PLATFORMS, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OPERATORS, AND OTHER ENTITIES

This Public Notice establishes the published policies, objections, licensing requirements, monetary demands, administrative procedures, and reservation of rights of Brad Hartmaier, professionally known as Brad Hart.

These policies concern personal and professional identity, property, original creative works, intellectual property, publications, designs, business activities, reputation, and other legally protected interests.

1. OWNERSHIP, PROPERTY RIGHTS & NON-CONSENT

Brad Hartmaier expressly asserts and reserves all lawful rights, title, and interests in his respective property, intellectual property, original creative works, photographs, drawings, designs, writings, concepts, publications, recordings, business identity, and commercial interests.

This includes original works created in connection with art direction, production design, set design, scenic construction, custom fabrication, props, special effects, photography, filmmaking, writing, producing, directing, editing, and related creative services, to the extent those rights are owned or controlled by Brad Hartmaier.

PUBLIC ACCESS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OR AUTHORIZATION.

Viewing, accessing, downloading, receiving, purchasing, or discovering material on this website does not transfer copyright ownership or grant unrestricted reproduction, distribution, alteration, licensing, or commercial exploitation rights.

Written authorization is required for activities within the exclusive rights of the copyright owner unless independently permitted by applicable law or an existing valid license.

Portfolio materials belonging to clients, studios, employers, collaborators, or other rights holders remain subject to their respective ownership and licensing arrangements.

2. UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION, ALTERATION & EXPLOITATION

Unauthorized infringement, appropriation, reproduction, distribution, alteration, manufacture, commercial exploitation, or misrepresentation of protected original works is expressly prohibited.

This includes actionable unauthorized use of protected photographs, designs, drawings, architectural and scenic concepts, publications, writings, recordings, films, digital media, and other creative property.

The notice also addresses unlawful exploitation through artificial intelligence systems, image generators, automated content platforms, synthetic media, and other technologies.

PUBLISHED MONETARY DEMAND: $1,000,000 USD PER DAY, PER DOCUMENTED CONTINUING VIOLATION.

Brad Hartmaier reserves the right to demand compensation for actionable infringement beginning with the documented commencement of the violation, including conduct discovered subsequently, subject to applicable legal requirements.

3. DEFAMATION, IMPERSONATION & INTERFERENCE WITH COMMERCE

Unlawful defamation, knowingly false factual representations, actionable impersonation, fraudulent misrepresentation, and unlawful interference with professional relationships or commercial activities are expressly objected to.

No person or entity is authorized by this notice to fraudulently impersonate Brad Hartmaier, Brad Hart, his authorized representatives, or businesses operating under his authority.

This includes fraudulent websites, counterfeit social media profiles, forged communications, deceptive endorsements, false professional representations, unauthorized commercial solicitations, and actionable misrepresentations concerning his identity, credentials, ownership, professional services, or business activities.

PUBLISHED MONETARY DEMAND: $10,000,000 USD PER DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCE OF ACTIONABLE DEFAMATION, FRAUDULENT IMPERSONATION, OR UNLAWFUL COMMERCIAL INTERFERENCE.

Correction, retraction, removal of unlawful material, compensation, and other applicable remedies may be demanded.

Persons encountering suspected violations are encouraged to provide supporting evidence. Mere failure to report does not independently establish liability.

4. NOTICE, EVIDENCE & OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT

Alleged violations may be documented using sworn affidavits, declarations, witness testimony, written statements, original documents, contracts, photographic evidence, recordings, correspondence, digital records, metadata, archived webpages, screenshots, server logs, publication records, and other reliable evidence.

Any party receiving formal written notice of an alleged violation is requested to:

1. Cease the identified unlawful activity.
2. Remove or disable access to infringing material where legally required.
3. Preserve relevant documents, communications, and electronic records.
4. Identify and produce any agreement, license, or legal authority relied upon.
5. Respond in writing and seek resolution within ten (10) calendar days.

If satisfactory resolution is not reached, Brad Hartmaier reserves the right to pursue further lawful action without additional voluntary settlement discussions.

Evidence and allegations remain subject to applicable standards of proof, reliability, authenticity, and due process.

All legally recoverable damages, profits, restitution, expenses, statutory remedies, injunctive relief, and other available remedies are expressly reserved.

6. EFFECTIVE DATE, CONTINUING NOTICE & AMENDMENTS

THIS PUBLIC NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UPON ACTUAL PUBLICATION AND MAY BE AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED, OR UPDATED AT ANY TIME.

All prior published versions shall be preserved as historical records of their original language, publication dates, policies, and objections.

Subsequent modifications shall be entered in the Revision and Amendment Register at the bottom of this page.

Revision or replacement of this notice shall not, by itself, extinguish previously accrued lawful claims or retroactively create new contractual obligations.

No silence, delay, or failure to object immediately shall, by itself, constitute voluntary waiver of rights.

7. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS & DISPUTE RESOLUTION

No unauthorized license, assignment, transfer of ownership, or voluntary waiver is granted by this notice.

The right to review evidence independently, demand correction, negotiate settlement, pursue mutually agreed private dispute resolution, seek trial by jury where available, and pursue lawful remedies is expressly reserved.

NO IMPLIED CONSENT. NO UNAUTHORIZED LICENSE. NO VOLUNTARY WAIVER.

8. DIGITAL PLATFORMS, SEARCH ENGINES & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This notice expressly addresses Google, YouTube, search engines, social media platforms, hosting providers, online marketplaces, artificial intelligence operators, indexing services, data aggregators, and all other persons or entities interacting with protected property owned or controlled by Brad Hartmaier.

USE OF A DIGITAL PLATFORM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SURRENDER OF OWNERSHIP.

Publication of original works, photographs, designs, written materials, professional information, or other protected content does not independently transfer ownership of underlying intellectual property to a platform.

8.1 Written Authorization

Any party claiming authority to commercially reproduce, distribute, modify, license, or exploit protected works is requested to identify and produce the governing agreement, license, assignment, applicable terms, or other lawful basis.

Written authorization is required for new uses within exclusive intellectual property rights unless otherwise licensed or legally permitted.

Digital platforms receiving documented notice of allegedly inaccurate information are requested to investigate, preserve relevant records, and correct material where warranted or legally required.

NO UNAUTHORIZED SEIZURE, GARNISHMENT, LIEN, LEVY, ATTACHMENT, OR ENCUMBRANCE IS CONSENTED TO.

Any person or entity asserting authority to garnish, levy, seize, attach, or encumber property is requested to identify and produce the governing contract, judgment, statute, administrative order, or other legally sufficient authority.

No alleged debt, implied agreement, financial obligation, or collection authority shall be acknowledged merely because another party asserts its existence.

PUBLISHED MONETARY DEMAND: $10,000,000 USD PER DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCE OF UNLAWFUL GARNISHMENT, LIEN, LEVY, SEIZURE, OR ENCUMBRANCE.

This amount constitutes a published compensation or settlement demand, not an automatically enforceable fine.

Any party receiving notice of an allegedly unlawful action is requested to preserve evidence, identify its authority, and promptly release property improperly restrained or encumbered.

All lawful rights to contest invalid collection activity, seek restitution, obtain appropriate relief, and recover legally available compensation are expressly reserved.

Nothing in this notice invalidates lawful collection obligations or procedures established by applicable law.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & PROTECTION OF AUTHORIZED AGENTS

Brad Hartmaier and his authorized representatives, contractors, collaborators, and agents expressly reserve lawful protections against unsupported claims, unauthorized contractual obligations, fraudulent demands, and improper attempts to impose personal or third-party liability.

No person or entity may impose a contractual obligation without an enforceable legal basis.

Any claimant asserting contractual rights or financial obligations is requested to provide the underlying agreement, relevant terms, evidence of authority, and supporting documentation.

No authorized agent shall be presumed personally responsible for another party’s obligations solely through association or representation.

Nothing in this notice eliminates liability independently established under applicable law.

All lawful rights to dispute unsupported claims, challenge unauthorized obligations, and seek appropriate remedies are reserved.

11. ORIGINAL CREATIONS, PHYSICAL MATERIALS, PORTFOLIO RIGHTS & WORK-FOR-HIRE STATUS

PUBLIC NOTICE OF AUTHORSHIP AND OWNERSHIP

Brad Hartmaier, professionally known as Brad Hartmaier and or Brad Hart, expressly asserts and reserves all lawful rights in original creative works, designs, drawings, illustrations, photographs, models, prototypes, props, scenic elements, fabrication plans, written materials, concepts, and other original creations authored or owned by him.

The creation, delivery, installation, exhibition, publication, or use of such materials in a film, television program, commercial, theatrical production, exhibition, or other project does not, by itself, establish a transfer of copyright ownership.

WORK-FOR-HIRE AND COPYRIGHT ASSIGNMENT

Brad Hartmaier does not acknowledge that an independently commissioned original work constitutes a work made for hire merely because a client, production company, studio, or other party requested or paid for its creation.

Any party claiming ownership through a work-for-hire arrangement, assignment, or other transfer is requested to identify and produce the applicable agreement or other legally sufficient basis.

Copyright ownership shall be determined under applicable law, including the statutory rules governing employee-created works, specially commissioned works, and valid transfers of rights.

PHYSICAL MATERIALS AND ORIGINAL PROPERTY

Ownership of physical materials, original drawings, models, props, equipment, prototypes, or completed fabricated objects shall be determined by the applicable property rights, agreements, and circumstances of their creation or transfer.

The transfer or possession of a physical object does not, by itself, transfer copyright ownership in an original protected work embodied in that object.

PORTFOLIO AND PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTATION

Brad Hartmaier maintains this website to document his professional experience, creative contributions, completed projects, technical accomplishments, and original works.

Photographs, videos, drawings, designs, and other materials are displayed for professional identification, portfolio presentation, and historical documentation.

The display of material does not constitute a claim of ownership over copyrighted films, photographs, trademarks, characters, or other works belonging to third parties.

Where Brad Hartmaier owns copyright or other rights in displayed materials, those rights are expressly reserved. Display of third-party materials remains subject to applicable permissions, licenses, and lawful exceptions.

NO IMPLIED TRANSFER OR WAIVER

No transfer of copyright, assignment of ownership, unrestricted commercial license, or voluntary waiver shall be presumed solely from payment, possession, delivery, publication, or professional association.

NO UNAUTHORIZED CONTRACT. NO AUTOMATIC ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY. NO VOLUNTARY WAIVER.
