We wish to express, first and foremost, we are advocates for originality in design. We do not condone the replication of designs, copying other artists, or copyright infringement of any kind. We are committed to encouraging creative endeavour and original design, and believe in safeguarding Intellectual Property.
The Finders Keepers take no responsibility for any copyright issues encountered within our community, either online or via the markets. If you feel that someone is copying your designs, unfortunately we cannot facilitate any kind of reproach or management of the issue, as it contravenes our privacy policy, and we do not have the legal resources or wherewithal to do so. It is also the responsibility of the holder of copyright to enforce, and as a third party, we are not able to action any requests otherwise.
The Finders Keepers are not responsible for the identification of design origin, and we cannot be held accountable for any breaches of any designer’s copyright. The curation of our markets does not require the Finders Keepers to maintain protection of your copyright, nor the copyright of any designers or artists involved in the markets.
We suggest you seek legal advice independently if you feel you have a case to pursue.
The Finders Keepers acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country across Australia, and their connections to community, land and sea. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and everyday.
