General Permissions

Any content that is directly solicited, hired out and/or created in strategic partnership with The Garden City Project is expressly owned by Garden City. All rights reserved. © TheGardenCityProject.

However, GCP is also a networking site where we strive to put the “creation” back in the hands of the “creator.”  We therefore prize the rights that our external contributors have to their content.  Our external contributors retain the copyright and full ownership of their own work.

GCP reserves the right to deny or delete any content submitted through its platform. GCP will work in partnership, and with expressed written permission with our contributors if we desire to edit, add, subtract, or sell a creator’s submission.
