01

International Intellectual Property

All original editorial features, cartographic assets, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial data, environmental architecture models, and multimedia broadcasts hosted on Our Green Times (OGT) are the exclusive intellectual property of Christopher Dotsey and authorized OGT research personnel, protected universally under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

Non-Commercial Usage: Educational institutions, academic researchers, and development planners globally are granted permission to reference and cite our findings. All citations must explicitly credit "Our Green Times" and provide a direct digital hyperlink to the original source repository.

Commercial Prohibition: Systematic web scraping, commercial redistribution, unauthorized archival, or financial monetization of our proprietary spatial datasets, blueprints, or visual edits without formal written consent from OGT Global Administration is strictly prohibited and will be pursued across applicable jurisdictions.

02

Data Protection & Privacy Protocol

Data Collection Architecture: OGT processes only the minimum data required to facilitate digital transmission across our network. This includes voluntarily provided email addresses for the Subscriber Dispatch. Administrative data generated within the HQ Control Room is secured via global encrypted cloud architecture.

Zero-Commercialization Protocol: Our Green Times operates on a strict non-monetization policy regarding user identity. We do not lease, trade, sell, or distribute subscriber logs, personnel dossiers, or contact desk submissions to third-party marketing entities anywhere in the world.

Spatial Ethics: Community surveys, environmental profiling, and spatial intelligence gathering conducted by OGT prioritize ecological observation. Mapping initiatives focus on infrastructure, land-use land-cover (LULC), and structural layouts, firmly respecting the personal privacy and identity of populations globally.

03

Limitation of Professional Liability

The strategic frameworks, architectural blueprints, environmental metrics, and development planning articles published within the OGT Solutions Hub, Lens, and Journal Archive are intended exclusively for academic advocacy, informational insight, and general spatial awareness.

While OGT maintains rigorous standards for analytical accuracy, published materials do not constitute certified engineering blueprints, legally binding cross-border land-survey documents, or official municipal directives. Our Green Times, its founders, and its contributing agents assume zero liability for infrastructural, legal, or administrative decisions executed by independent third parties relying solely upon our platform's open-access data.

04

Global Jurisdiction & Arbitration

Our Green Times operates as a borderless, international research initiative. This Legal Framework, alongside all intellectual property and data governance policies, shall be construed in accordance with recognized international intellectual property conventions and applicable cross-border data protection frameworks.

Any structural disputes arising from the use of the Our Green Times digital ecosystem or its proprietary materials shall be subject to international arbitration prior to any formal litigation in a localized physical court.
