Portal and Related Facilities disclaimer continued

All material on this website is offered on a goodwill, good-faith, 'As is' and 'As Available' basis only. Images and content have been derived over many years and from many sources. Some have been originated by the site owner, some have been provided by clients and may be used as portfolio examples, some have been derived from clip art and photo art disks and others have been provided by online sources that claim to be royalty-free. The point is that this Portal and Related Facilities try to live by the principle of protecting and respecting creative copyrights, intellectual copyrights, trademarks, etc. -- for all. However, since the arena of copyright, of who is the original creator of an image, and so on, has become extremely complicated and convoluted, the owner of this website accepts no liability or responsibility, in any way whatsoever, for any breaches or infringements in the above said areas.

This Portal or Related Facilities may have used images or content that was derived from a source that was believed to be royalty free; which source may have done the same to obtain the image from another source which it believed to royalty free and so on. In other words, it is possible that the Owner has made use of images believed to be royalty free, that may not have been intended to be royalty free by its original creator. Such use is inadvertent, unintentional and without knowledge that there may be an infringement, or a breach of copyright, or conditions of royalty. Should such a breach of royalty, trademark etc. be discovered on this website or in any of the materials or images used by the Owner, the Owner will not accept liability, claims of damages or compensation, or responsibility in any form whatsoever, as has already been stated. Similarly, the Owner will not accept liability for claims of loss of income, or of reimbursement to the original creator in any way whatsoever. However, the discrepancy should be noted by recording the website page address, (the URL), the URL of the image, and the date. This should be forwarded to the Portal with a clear explanation of why it is believed that there is a breach or an infringement. The explanation should also include clear details of the image's, or the copyright item's, owner / Owner's contact details and website details as well as the context of its original use. We will respond by investigating the validity of the alleged discrepancy. If we discern that a discrepancy has taken place in the form of a copyright breach, misuse of trademark, etc. the we will gladly agree do one or more of the following, but nothing more; [1] Remove the item in question from the website. [2] Give the original creator of the item in question credit for the creation of the item by [3] Including a referenced link to the original creator's website on condition that such a website is used within a family-friendly context. Such links and references back to the original creator will be considered to be a form of advertising in favor of the original creator, which will be offered without charge in order to 're-compensate' the original creator for whatever reason. The links and references back to the original creator will be maintained only for as long as the original creator's material remains on this website. This Owner will retain the right and sole discretion to continue to maintain said links and references to the original creator after the original creator's work has been removed from this website. These steps will be done in a spirit of goodwill in order to credit the original creator of an image or trademarked item. However, if there is not a sense of goodwill reciprocated in return, the Owner will at his own and sole discretion, and without obligation, explanation or liability, be free to not take any of the above steps. The Owner is more than happy and willing to work in a spirit of goodwill and cooperation, and to give credit where credit is due, in order to build others up. The return of such goodwill and spirit of cooperation encourages the Owner to cooperate and assist where possible. Other approaches may not encourage cooperation and will be less likely to resolve the issue quickly and amicably. For more information concerning procedures to follow to report a credit infringement, see the Credits page.

Your continuation into this website or your commissioning of a product or service will bind you to these clauses, and all Terms, in full and in every way.
