OUR POSITION

Wild Creek invests significant time, resources, travel, operational access, and personal trust into the creation of its material.

Our work is not public domain, not stock media, and not a free resource for content harvesting.

If you did not create it, license it, or receive written permission to use it, you do not have the right to publish it.
Unauthorised use of our material may result in reputational damage or financial loss, and Wild Creek Graphics® will seek full compensation through legal action where applicable.

LAWFUL USE BY REQUEST

We are open to lawful, professional, and respectful collaboration. Use of our materials may be considered through formal written request, clear scope definition, and written permission prior to publication.

Licensing, quotation, and reproduction permissions are assessed individually and must be approved in writing.

If you wish to discuss legitimate use, contact us before publication.

ENFORCEMENT

Wild Creek Graphics® actively monitors the use of its content across digital, broadcast, and print platforms.

Unauthorised use may result in:

• Formal takedown demands

• Licensing fee recovery

• Legal proceedings

• Public correction requirements

• Referral to permit issuing authorities where applicable

Ignorance of copyright law is not a defence.
