PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE BEFORE SUBMITTING ANY ARTWORK OR PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE CANVAS ART FACTORY
By submitting your images through The Canvas Art Factory website you are acknowledging that you have read the terms and conditions and copyright notice below and agree that you are bound by these conditions.
COPYRIGHT NOTICE
A copyright is owned by the person who has taken the photograph and a copyright exists in most images and artwork, even ordinary family snaps. There can be multiple copyrights residing in the photograph and its subject. A copyright in an image is created. A copyright can exist as an ownership right when the image is created or photograph shot and a copyright gives the owner the exclusive right to make copies, publicly distribute copies, publicly display the work, and prepare other works based on the original. Therefore it is illegal to copy, print or digitally reproduce photographs or art created by others without their authorisation. A copyright still exists after 70 years from the death of the life of the author and can reside in copyright owners estate or successors. International law imposes both civil and criminal penalties for violation of a copyright. The Canvas Art Factory and its customers are each subject to the copyright law.
A considerable amount of time is invested by artists in composing and creating their works and when determining the price to charge for their services they have the expectation that clients would subsequently purchase their prints. Therefore if the prints are obtained elsewhere, the photographer/artist loses the chance to recover a fee for their time and energy. If reproductions of their work are produced without their knowledge or input photographers/artists can be concerned about the artistic integrity of their works since their name is associated with their works. There could be other reasons so The Canvas Art Factory recommends that you discuss these issues with the professional. In this way the photographer/artist can explain their situation, and you may then be in a position where you can purchase or obtain permission to order the prints.
You must always presume that images downloaded from the internet or scanned or copied from print publications are protected by copyright. Therefore it is always best to request permission from print publications before making reproductions so as to resolve in advance any likely copyright problem.
Should you have any queries as to what is legal always consult a lawyer that specialises in copyrights or log onto the Australian Copyright Council website for further information at
http://www.copyright.org.au/information.
The Canvas Art Art Factory always respects the intellectual property of authors and creators of visual images and we ask our customers to do the same.
