Copyright & Intellectual Property
Copyright & Intellectual Property FAQs
When it comes to ownership of images the law can get confusing as intellectual property can be a complex subject. However, our copyright agreement is designed to formally give you permission to use images that belong to us - keeping it simple for you, and ensuring you are covered.
When we take a photograph of our products, our camera stores an original file (it’s called raw format to be technical) and this becomes our intellectual property.
Intellectual property is intangible (cannot be physically held) property that is result of an act of creativity. Examples include photographs, images, logos, names, designs, artwork all used in commerce.
For example, if you copy and paste an image from Google, you will not necessarily have the right to use this image for your own marketing/ sales activities and this can cause legal problems in the future. That is because the owner of the image could argue that you have used their property to make a sale, and therefore profited from their work (their intellectual property).
Our copyright agreement ensures that you are protected and you have permission to use our images for sales and marketing purposes, with no costs due to ourselves.
