7Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including but not limited to text, photography, event images, videos, logos, trademarks, service descriptions, menu concepts, taglines, graphics, and page layouts — is the exclusive property of Chef Rafael Molina or its licensors and is protected by United States copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, copy, distribute, publish, display, modify, create derivative works from, sell, or otherwise exploit any portion of this website's content for commercial or public purposes without the prior written permission of Chef Rafael Molina.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
