PhotoWirral Copyright Policy
This website is not a profit
making website, nor do I make any profit out of photography, it is
simply a hobby, something that I really enjoy doing. All the images and
content on this website (photowirral.com), are subject to copyright and
protected by the United Kingdom Designs and Patents Act 1988, and by use
of the © copyright symbol, are also protected by applicable
international law's.
No person or organization, may make use of the images or text on this
website in any way, including (but not limited to) via publication,
re-production, copying, duplication or broadcasting, without the express
written permission of myself (Matt Cullum).
Eventually, visitor's will have the option to obtain prints should they
wish, as this is something that has had interest before. If this does in
the future make a small kind of profit, it will be far outweighed by the
cost of my camera, ongoing travel expenses, my time in developing the
site, my costs to maintain the site and keep it online etc...
Also, the images are kept small (300x225 pixels) to protect my
intellectual property from people wishing to make profit from them, and
use images without my permission.
I am not against others, particularly non-profit websites and
organizations, using my work, so please feel free to
contact me should you wish to use any
of the content.
Photograph's may be used without permission on non-profit websites and
forums, so long as you ensure that the tag (defined as the "©photowirral.com"
logo found on each photograph) is retained on the photograph.
As all photographs are subject to copyright law, anyone found to be
breaking this law, particularly with the intent to make a profit or
suggest the work is that of their own, may be prosecuted under
applicable law. Most images are taken at a minimum of 6.3 megapixel
resolution, of which only I have access to the original's. With the
original's, proving the work is that of my own would be very easy in a
court of law.
