It should go without saying that all first-party creative and literary aspects of this website are — unless otherwise stated — my intellectual property and therefore subject to copyright law. As it is published from and hosted in the United Kingdom, it is covered by the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
This means that you are not permitted to copy, re-use, redistribute, or otherwise pass off as your own work any of my original photographs, graphics, website design, or written content, wholly or in part, without obtaining written permission from me, the copyright holder.
This, of course, excludes any third-party content. Any such content which appears here — such as licence-free stock images or images released under any Creative Commons licence — is used according to the terms of use specified by its copyright holder and attribution is given where required.
Occasionally, I may use third-party images or brief quotations of other written works — with appropriate attribution — for the purposes of criticism or review under Section 30 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, which permits fair dealing for this use.
Copyright and intellectual property rights apply to all creators, so if I have used some of your content under Section 30 and you feel that my use did not meet its threshold, or I neglected to attribute you correctly, please contact me with a friendly heads-up about it and I will act accordingly. My aim is always to give other people’s original work the same respect as I expect to be given to my own.
