Everything you see here — words, visuals, layouts, brand elements — is protected. You’re welcome to link to it. You’re not welcome to lift it. Ask first; we’re friendly.
Who owns what
Unless stated otherwise, all content on this website (text, graphics, logos, photos, videos, page layouts, downloads) is © [2025] Dolphamine Ltd (NZ). Some images may be used under licence or with permission; those remain the property of their creators.
What you’re allowed to do
Share links: You can link to our pages or posts.
Quote small bits: Short quotes (up to ~100 words) are fine with a clear credit and a link back.
Press & features: Media may use our brand name “Dolphamine” and small imagery thumbnails for editorial coverage with credit and a link.
What you’re not allowed to do (without written permission)
Copy, reproduce, republish, or redistribute our content in full or near‑full form.
Edit, remix, or create derivative works from our designs, copy, photos, or layouts.
Use our content in any commercial way (ads, promos, client work, AI training datasets, or paid products).
Remove our logo, watermarks, author credits, or copyright notices.
Frame our pages to make them look like your own website.
AI & automated scraping
Training, fine‑tuning, or indexing our content with AI models, scrapers, or data‑mining tools is not permitted. If you want to license content for that purpose, email us.
Client work shown here
We often showcase client projects we’ve created. The underlying client brands and assets remain their property; our original design, layouts, case‑study copy, and mockups remain ours. Please don’t reuse any of it without permission from both parties.
Trademarks
Dolphamine, our dolphin icon, dolphin pill capsule, taglines, and other brand marks are distinctive to us. Don’t use them (or confusingly similar marks) in your branding, domain names, social handles, or products without written permission.
User submissions (if you send us stuff)
By emailing us testimonials, images, or ideas, you confirm you own the rights and you grant us a non‑exclusive, worldwide licence to display and share them on our site and socials. You can revoke future use by writing to us; we’ll remove them going forward where reasonably possible.
Educational use
Teachers and community groups: you may display our content in a classroom or workshop setting with attribution and a link, provided no digital copies are distributed afterwards. If you want reusable handouts or slides, please ask — we can help.
How to request permission
Email tara@dolphamine.com with what you want to use, where it will appear, and for how long. We usually reply within a few business days.
Reporting infringement / takedowns
If you believe something here infringes your rights, or you’ve found our content used elsewhere without permission, email hello@dolphamine.com with the URL(s) and proof of ownership. We follow NZ Copyright Act principles and standard notice‑and‑takedown procedures.
Links to other sites
We sometimes link to useful sites. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content or practices.
