for their own personal use. However, text, images or any other
content may not, under any circumstance, be added to any website,
be it personal or commercial, without my written permission.
Additionally text and images may not be distributed in electronic,
printed, or any other media type without express written permission.
I will always take action against any parties making unauthorised
use of my images.
I will expect to recover damages for non-payment of the published
fees and charges. In addition I will seek payment of any and
all administrative costs, legal fees and any other expenses
and costs incurred in proving unauthorised use, tracing the
offender, and collecting payment.
Ignorance of copyright law shall
be no defence against any claim
I may make or action I may take
to enforce my rights.
Where I discover unauthorised use and contact the offender,
I invite the offending party to reach a settlement with me
by:-
Admitting the unauthorised use, and removing the unauthorised
image/text within 7 days. In the event of image/text being
used for commercial purposes I will expect an offer of compensation
to be made.
I will, without prejudice, look favourably
on genuine and timely attempts to compensate me.
Any denial of unauthorised use should include your full identity
and contact details. You should state where, when and how
your images were obtained, including third party details if
applicable.
Claims such as "found on a website"
or "other people have used it" will not be accepted.
While I may seek to rely on any or all of the above, it is
to be taken as without prejudice to any action or claim on
mybehalf. I reserve the right to change this page or any of
the copyright terms without notice. |
