Intellectual Property Rights

The photographs, descriptions and page designs on this site belong to us or are used with permission.

What we own

Product photography, written descriptions, page layouts and the site's visual design are our property. Linking to us, or quoting a sentence or two with attribution, is fine.

Permitted use

Personal use is unrestricted: browse, save, print. Reviews and editorial coverage may use one image per item with a credit and a link back to this site.

Trademarks of others

Brand names and logos belonging to other companies appear on this site only where a product is compatible with them or where a payment method is named. Their presence does not imply any partnership, sponsorship or endorsement.

Reporting infringement

If you believe material on this site infringes a right you hold, write to our contact address with the page or image, the right you claim and evidence of ownership. Well-founded notices are actioned promptly, usually by removing or replacing the item while we investigate.

Material you send us

Reviews and comments

Reviews you write remain yours; by sending one you allow us to show it on the site and in our own promotion. Editing is limited to trimming length and removing anything abusive or unlawful — the opinion itself is left as you wrote it.

Photographs you send

Photographs sent to us for a fault report or a sizing question are used only to answer that enquiry. We will ask separately, and in writing, before using any customer photograph on the site or on social media.

How we handle a complaint

What to include

A useful notice names the page or image, describes the material, explains the right you believe is infringed and shows that you hold it. Evidence of ownership — a registration, an original file with its metadata, a licence — lets us act immediately instead of writing back to ask.

What happens next

Notices are reviewed by a person within a couple of business days. If a notice turns out to be mistaken we restore the material and explain why.

Using our pages

Printing and saving

You may print a product page for your own records and save pages for personal reference. Machine-copying a set of listings, or feeding our descriptions into another shop's catalogue, is outside what we permit and is something we check for.

Press and editorial use

Editorial coverage is welcome: one image per item, a credit, and a link. Anything beyond that — a gallery, a sponsored feature, a print run — needs permission first, and requests are normally answered within a day.

Where our material comes from

Photography

Every photograph on a product page is of the item we have here, shot and edited by us. We do not licence catalogue images, and we do not use a manufacturer's shot as though it showed our own stock.

Written descriptions

Descriptions are written from the item rather than adapted from a supplier's sheet, so the same paragraph does not appear on ten other shops. If you find our copy somewhere else, tell us and we will look at it.
