Intellectual Property Policy
1 email is all you need to report an IP concern: [email protected].
Here’s the short version: our content and brand assets are protected, personal browsing is fine, commercial reuse is not. Below you’ll find what you can do, what you can’t, and how to ask us for permission when in doubt.
1. Ownership
All content on pvdhorst.com — including text, product imagery, photos, graphics, videos, designs, and site layout — along with the Pvdhorst name and logos, are owned by Pvdhorst or used under license. These materials are protected by intellectual property and related laws. Nothing on the site grants any license or right to use our assets without prior written permission from Pvdhorst.
2. Permitted Use
- Personal, non-commercial browsing of the site.
- Saving a single copy of pages for personal reference.
- Sharing links to our public pages for personal, non-commercial purposes (no modification of the content you reference).
3. Prohibited Use
- No copying, downloading, or redistributing product photos, videos, or descriptions for commercial use.
- No scraping, automated collection, or database building from our site content.
- No modifying, remixing, or creating derivative branding from our name, logos, or product imagery.
- No use of “Pvdhorst” or confusingly similar marks in domains, social handles, ads, metadata, or product listings without written permission.
- No framing, mirroring, or presenting our site or assets as your own.
- No removal of notices or watermarks that appear on our materials.
4. Requesting Permission
Need limited use of our content or brand assets? Email [email protected] with:
- Your name, organization (if any), and contact details.
- Exactly what you’d like to use (e.g., specific image or logo) and where it will appear.
- The purpose, scope, and duration of the use.
- Any design mockups or context that helps us review.
We’ll review your request and reply with next steps. Permission must be in writing from Pvdhorst before any use begins.
5. Reporting Infringement
If you believe your intellectual property has been used on pvdhorst.com without authorization, or if you see third parties misusing Pvdhorst assets, please contact [email protected] with:
- Your name and contact information.
- A description of the work you believe is infringed and proof of rights.
- The exact location (URL or product name) of the allegedly infringing material.
