Copyright law prohibits the copying, re-distribution, or re-transmission, in full or in part of any material on this website or from what Dinnages publish in print form, be that text, or images. All content by words, paragraphs, its context and images that appear on this site are not to be stored, altered, or reproduced either electronically or by hard copy whatsoever without the written express permission of the copyright or its assigned owner. Any unauthorized copyright infringements are actively contested under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. This page provides information on Copyright images used with and without permission from the owners of assigned images in the library of Dinnages Transport/Picture Publishing. Based in the City of Brighton and Hove, our picture library can be seen and purchased at events in the South of England, progressively now to be securely and watermarked online, primarily offered through a postal service by Newsletter and at our premises by prior arrangement. We do not authorize by default who desires to use images from our negative library in any web pages or books. Please do NOT assume! We have in the majority of our library of negatives and slides, a signed, witnessed legal document that provides 'Dinnages' whole and exclusive commercial use of these images. Those found to be infringing will be listed here. Those we have given permission to, also listed, are subject to file size and agreed acknowledgement credit, being the aim as it now does, further enquiries. Those found to be in infringement will be given notice upon first finding such material and may then to those undertaking such action, send solicitors letters outlining that action, asking for our costs to be paid and to provide us with all unauthorised copies made. As of the year 2008, after 15 years of collecting photographs and negatives, we now have over 25,000 genuine original negatives and slides of UK transport, from tramways, trolleybuses, buses, Southern Uk Steam Railway, plus Light Railway lines such as the Brighton Volk's Railway, London Underground, along with some classed as local topographical views. Most negatives are either 35mm, 120, square, box-brownie, and a few glass plates, therefore copy negs may have been created & used thereafter. The occasional view can look similar to another's when groups of enthusiasts took similar shots on touring society outings. All slides used are the originals. Where the original photographer literally disposed of some negatives, without hindsight, we have had on occasions to use an original print when its worthy. Your enquiries welcome on specific views desired. There are many images that have been gladly provided and used at www.buses.co.uk & we have only shown links to a few of them for example and information, as these can be out of date. Similarly the Brighton and Hove Community Web Site has been provided with a number of images by us direct, although not all are transport related. Should you know of any image clearly marked or bought from us being used anywhere, credited or not, or anyone even thinking about using an image from our library, for any kind of publication, then its best to contact us first. Our main aim is to ensure the credit we request and desire is accurate and in total agreement with us to help promote the library and the original photographer and not used under 'authors collection'. In accordance with other publishers we may request the removal of the image, credited or not, also when published in print, again credited or not, the publisher will be sent an unauthorized reproduction fee as do other major photographic libraries. Note that we are not just here for monetary gain itself, & worthy causes are given use as long as a request is received in the first instance in order to clarify rightful credit. There are images that have in the past been incorrectly credited & we have no way to address this some years later following our ownership of these, where we can only ask that future revisions in print might rectify this. Once an error has been made in print its not reversible. All images, text and layout on any web site, leaflet, flyer, promotional literature, advertising through third-parties, or booklets created by 'Dinnages' all being subject to the laws of copyright. You may not use, copy, publish or distribute any part of the material in any way whatsoever. In addition, you may not remove the image watermark or alter, manipulate, add to or delete an image or any part of an image without permission. Copyright in all the images remains with the Dinnages Picture Library and the collections it represents. By entering the site through one of the pages or links, you are indicating that you have read and accepted these conditions, in particular when making an online purchase you have to agree before you can continue to make an order and payment. For researched information on Copyright itself for Published or previously Unpublished photographs, by all means follow the respective links. Aside from a legal point of view, there is also a moral side to publishing, in that something created by another should not be misused, recreated or displayed publicly without due and proper credit to its origins.
