Copyright

Copyright is a right granted by statute to the author or originator of certain literary or artistic productions, where the author or originator is invested, for a specified period of time, with the exclusive right to do and to authorize a number of acts. It grants the right to make copies and the related right to prevent others from making copies of the work. Copyright protection is utilized as a primary source of protection for traditional published materials as well as computer programs and other works in digital form, which, even when they exist in a form unintelligible to humans, such as object code, are considered to be literary works for the purposes of copyright law.

Permission to copy

You may be allowed, without obtaining prior written permission, to use certain images, software or text for advertising, in books and other printed matter, on clothing or other promotional items, online and Internet locations, for public exhibitions or demonstrations, in software applications, in television programs, commercials, movies, and/or video tapes, provided the use is not disparaging. The use must fall within the definition of "fair dealing" or "fair use" as defined under Canadian, U.S. and other applicable International copyright law. No use should mislead the public as to CAF sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of your products or services.

Recognizable images of persons, products and locations are either the property of CAF and or are used on the site with permission. The re-use of these images by you or any other person is forbidden unless directly permitted by CAF. Images of persons and places are strongly protected by Canadian and international copyright, privacy, trademark and regulatory body laws and regulations.

Photos - Your use of photos included on the CAF Web site may be considered appropriate use and may not require written permission. Please refer to logos and images section for graphic material you can use in various media to depict CAF products, services and staff. CAF does not object to third-party use of product shots of our software products in advertising, on documentation, in books and other printed matter, on video tape, in software applications, on World Wide Web pages or in television programs/commercials/movies, so long as the use is not disparaging and falls within the definition of "fair dealing" or "fair use" under International and/or Canadian copyright law, as applicable. You can use CAF images, provided you do not alter them other than to resize them. If you are uncertain as to whether or not your intended use is appropriate or requires written permission, please check with your copyright attorney. The following guidelines apply for the usage of CAF photos and product images:

1. You may not disparage CAF or any of its products in your use of CAF photos or graphics.

2. You should not use our product(s), product name(s), corporate name, product shots or other copyrighted material in a way that would indicate CAF sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of Your Product.

3. The CAF product shot(s) must not be the most prominent visual element. Your Product, company name, logos or graphics should be significantly larger than the size of the CAF product shot.

4. You should use only CAF approved product shots, including the entire product packaging. You may NOT use portions of the graphics, artwork or trade dress from the packaging, nor may you alter the product shots in any way except to resize to fit your needs.

5. The copyright attribution should state: "reprinted with permission from CAF." If any CAF product is mentioned, the full name of the CAF product should be used at first and most prominent mention or as soon as practicable thereafter, and the CAF trademark(s) should be marked as they appear on the CAF product packaging. A footnote attributing trademark ownership to CAF should be used.

All other use of product shots of CAF products requires written permission. Please submit your request in writing with samples, drawings or mock-ups of the product shots showing how you wish to use them.

If you are having difficulty deciding whether your intended use is appropriate you should seek the advice of your own attorney. CAF will not assist you in making this determination.

Logos - Unless you are licensed by CAF, you are not permitted to use CAF logos. If there is a specific logo you are interested in using when featuring CAF or its products, please contact info@caf-fca.org. Or, you may choose to simply refer to a CAF product.
