Any content and notably, but not exhaustively, any logo, mark, video and picture present on the blog are protected under intellectual property law, or any other relevant legal disposition. Fiskars owns all the rights pertaining to the Blog’s content, excluding the ones expressly attributed to third parties.
Any reproduction, dissemination, adaptation of logos, trademarks and other content on this blog, whose ownership is attributed to Fiskars, is prohibited without permission of the latter, both for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
Users and members are in this context only allowed to reproduce the contents of the blog solely for informational purposes and within a strictly private frame.
Fiskars is respectful of the intellectual property rights of third parties, and any legal provision in force for protecting the interests of third parties. Fiskars shall take all measures at its disposal to ensure that the Blog does not violate protected rights.
However, if you believe that the blog is likely to prejudice any of your rights, Fiskars will proceed with the deletion of the content after receiving written notification of the copyright holder, duly justified, to the publication manager at the address mentioned above.
b. Contributors copyrights
The fiskarettes blog offers the possibility to members to publish pictures of their own creations, in accordance with intellectual property law.
Any user wishing to publish a picture on the fiskarettes blog must first fill in the relevant form with all the compulsory elements, specified hereafter:
