In all cases unless otherwise recognised images are ©
copyright this site, you should not display for any purpose
our images without our written permission to do so or in the
allowed use of our service such as counters, there are exceptions
to this rule and these are covered below.
We are constantly producing images and backgrounds/Skins
etc. ourselves (it does take a lot of work) but occasionally
we come across images we like and wish to include them as
part of our collection, it is not due to our incapability
of doing this it is just sometimes the originals look better
or are as good as we would like to display and/or it does
save us a little time doing it ourselves.
The normal course of events is; we apply to the originators
or creators (if known) of the said images for permission to
use them with the understanding that once permission is granted
they cannot retract their permissions on old images because
so many users would be using the image at that point they
can however request us to discontinue using an image or graphic!
If this situation arises we will get our artists to reproduce
and completely redraw a new image and/or graphic to a similar
affect (but not the same) that will not impede any copyrights
and can then be labelled and copyrighted as our own, in some
cases the actual image name and subject and impression is
copyrighted and in these situations we can do nothing but
withdraw them permanently.
We occasionally come across images that are wandering around
the Internet without any copyright owner whatsoever? We always
try to locate the owner! And in the absence of someone coming
forward the image is declared in the public domain and is
essentially usable and available to everyone! There are millions
of these type images out there, if at any time an owner appears
and declares and proves he/she is the copyright owner of said
images we do use from the public domain then we will recognise
this fact on this page or other pages and carry out the proven
copyright owners reasonable wishes, this includes and is not
limited by, purchasing the image or creating a link to the
originators site in recognition, all reasonable requests are
considered remembering all the time this will be weighed against
producing a substitute image ourselves in real time.
If you have seen a image that by right belongs to you please
contact us immediately to resolve the matter, we have no intention
to use copyright owners work of art without recognition of
some kind it's just in some cases we are unable to locate
the originator, if you wish to supply us with images and receive
recognition or monitory compensation for your work please
contact us, we provide this service free and there essentially
and is not necessarily any financial gain by us to use images
in part.
