4. Commercial and Non-Commercial Use

You may not use any content from this website for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.

You may also not use our content for non-commercial public use without permission where that use involves copying, sharing, publishing, displaying, adapting, or distributing the content beyond private personal viewing.

Private viewing of the website for your own personal information is permitted.

No other right to use, reproduce, or circulate the content is granted unless we expressly say so in writing.

• using content in templates, mood boards, reference packs, training decks, or creative development materials distributed to others; and

• using any content in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, authorship, or approval by us where none exists.

This list is illustrative and does not limit the general scope of the restrictions in this notice.

7. Social Media and Sharing Links

You may share a link to a public page on this website, provided that you do so lawfully, fairly, and without suggesting any association, endorsement, or approval by us where none exists.

You may not copy the underlying content and repost it as your own post, image, article, caption, gallery, or upload without written permission.

If social media sharing tools are made available on the website, they allow sharing of the link or platform-enabled preview only. They do not grant permission to reproduce the underlying work separately.

8. Limited Permission for Personal Reference

You may access this website and temporarily display its content on your device for your own private, personal, and non-commercial reference.

You may also print or download a single copy of a page for personal reference only, provided that you do not modify it, remove notices, circulate it, republish it, or use it for any commercial or public purpose.

This limited permission does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights and may be withdrawn at any time.

9. No Implied Licence

Nothing on this website grants, or should be interpreted as granting, any licence or right to use any content except for the limited personal viewing rights expressly stated in this notice.

No permission is created by silence, by the public availability of content on the internet, by the absence of a watermark, by ease of download, by the use of social media, or by the fact that content can be technically copied.

Any licence to use our content must be express and in writing.

10. Moral Rights and Attribution

Where applicable, the creator's moral rights are asserted.

You must not falsely claim authorship of our work, remove attribution where it appears, or use the work in a way that is derogatory, misleading, or prejudicial to the honour or reputation of the creator.

Even where attribution is given, this does not by itself create permission to reproduce or use the work.

Credit alone is not a substitute for a licence.

11. Third-Party Content

Some material on this website may belong to third parties and may be used by us under licence, permission, commission, collaboration, or other lawful arrangement.

Rights in third-party material remain with the relevant owner unless stated otherwise.

You must not assume that permission granted by a third party extends to content on this website, and you must not assume that our permission can be given for material we do not own.

If you wish to reuse third-party content appearing on this website, you may need permission from both us and the relevant rights holder, depending on the circumstances.

12. Trade Marks and Branding

Names, logos, marks, trading styles, get-up, and brand elements displayed on this website may be protected by trade mark rights, passing off, or other legal rights, even where a mark is not formally registered.

You may not use any of these without prior written permission.

Nothing in this notice gives permission to use any trade mark, logo, brand name, or visual identity element.

13. Website Code, Structure and Database Rights

The code, design structure, compilation, organisation, and arrangement of this website may be protected by copyright, database right, design right, and other intellectual property rights.

You must not copy, mirror, frame, scrape, republish, reverse engineer, extract, or reuse any substantial part of the website or its contents except as clearly permitted by law.

You must not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, spiders, data-mining tools, or similar automated means to access or extract content except standard search engine indexing where permitted by our website settings and applicable law.

14. Educational, Editorial and Research Use

Educational, editorial, academic, journalistic, charitable, cultural, or research-related use is not automatically permitted.

If you wish to reproduce, quote, display, or refer to our work in a publication, course, article, exhibition, broadcast, presentation, archive, or research project, you should obtain written permission first unless a specific legal exception clearly applies.

Any legal exception must be interpreted narrowly and remains your responsibility to assess.

15. Fair Dealing and Other Legal Exceptions

Nothing in this notice is intended to restrict any use that cannot lawfully be restricted under applicable law.

This may include limited uses permitted by law, such as certain forms of fair dealing for purposes such as criticism, review, quotation, news reporting, research, private study, parody, caricature, pastiche, or accessibility, where all legal conditions are met.

Those exceptions are limited, context-specific, and do not create a general right to copy or reuse content.

If you rely on a legal exception, you are responsible for ensuring that your use falls clearly within it.

16. User Submissions

If you submit content to us, you confirm that you have the right to do so.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, submitting content to us does not transfer ownership of your copyright to us, but you grant us the rights reasonably necessary to receive, review, store, reproduce, and use that submission for the purpose for which it was provided and any related administrative or business purpose.

This paragraph does not reduce or override our rights in the content that we own on this website.

17. Permission Requests

If you would like permission to reproduce or use any content from this website, please contact us in writing with:

• your name and contact details;

• the material you want to use;

• the exact part you want to reproduce;

• how you want to use it;

• where it will appear;

• whether the use is commercial or non-commercial; and

• the territory and duration of the proposed use.

Permission is granted only if we confirm it in writing.

We may refuse permission, grant permission subject to conditions, require a credit line, charge a licence fee, limit the territory, limit the duration, or revoke permission where allowed by the licence terms.

18. Reporting Infringement

If you believe that any content on this website infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us with full details of the work concerned and the basis of your claim.

If you believe that our content has been copied or used without permission, you may also contact us with evidence of the suspected infringement.

We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate.

19. Enforcement of Rights

We reserve all rights to enforce our intellectual property rights to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This may include requesting removal of infringing content, issuing formal notices, seeking undertakings, claiming damages or an account of profits, seeking injunctive relief, and pursuing any other legal or equitable remedy available to us.

Any failure by us to enforce a right immediately does not mean that we waive that right.

20. No Waiver and Severability

If any part of this notice is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply.

Any permission or waiver must be given expressly and in writing.

A failure or delay in enforcing this notice does not amount to permission, consent, or waiver.
