We at Leland have expended substantial time and resources creating a distinctive website. We upload and use our own photographs and images (each of which bears Leland's unique digital watermark and copyright notice), we write our own, original product descriptions, website text, and other copy to promote our site and web shop(s). Consequently, Leland owns copyrights to photographs and in most of the text that appears on our website.
