1. Terms
   By visiting the pages of this web site, you are agreeing to all of the web site Terms and Conditions of Use on this page. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are to leave this site immediately.
   
   The materials contained in this web site are protected by copyright, patent, and trade mark laws.
   
   Every graphic, photograph, or image on the site is completely 100% owned by BlackHole Collections or BlackHole Collections has secured the license to display from the respective owner. We take the theft of images very seriously. If you think we will never find you or care, then think again. Google has new tools that can analyse the patterns and shapes in a photograph and then search for similar images across the entire internet, even if the images have been modified or embedded into pdf documents.
   
   A large percent of our paying customers are within the education industry, if you have a false understanding that all content is free for education purposes, then consider educating yourself on modern changes to copyright laws. Our content is the best on the web because we have attracted the best employees and pay them what they are worth, otherwise none of the content that you are enjoying would exist. Teachers are not prepared to volunteer 100% of their pay-checks or teach for free for their entire career, so don't steal from us, we will not hesitate to track you down personally and your employer. Recent damages have been as high as $4,000 for a single image posted on a blog. It is just not worth taking the chance.
