Please read the following:
All Images on the web pages on www.speedwaynz.com are for personal viewing purposes and ordering only and are not to be redistributed or displayed apart from these web pages without the prior written permission of Graham Hughes, SportsWeb Photography. If you would like to use images for commercial use such as in Media books, Yearbooks, brochures, catalogues, textbooks, newspapers, websites, or any Multimedia use you must contact Graham Hughes at SportsWeb Photography PRIOR to any purchases/use of the Images. Photos that are sold with a SportsWeb Photography Copyright notice on the back (done via the photo labs printer) are also covered by the copyright law.
It is a clear violation of the copyright law for anyone to reproduce an image without the written permission of the creator of that image. Recent court cases have upheld that the photographer is the creator of the image and the holder of the copyright. Anyone who violates this copyright is liable to the photographer for 'actual' or 'statutory' damages, at the photographers sole option. 'Actual' damages are the loss of income from the sale of the Image and any profits of the infringer.
Photographers have a right to insist that their copyright be respected to insure that the quality of their work is preserved, and that the usage is restricted to that for which they have been compensated. If a client desires other uses of an Image or additional reproductions of same, then they must secure the photographers permission and provide compensation or be guilty of infringement of the photographers copyright.
If that does not make sense then read this COPYRIGHT LAW |
