IP Policy

Purpose

We are proud of the documents, information, slides, hand-outs, know-how and materials that we develop and present to our clients and prospects. Consequently, we ask that our rights be respected and our documents, information, slides, hand-outs, know-how and materials be used and presented correctly.

Our Intellectual Property

We and our licensors shall retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in all documents, information, slides, hand-outs, know-how and materials that we use during the performance of our services or which we otherwise provide to you (“Deliverables”). We do not provide Deliverables in electronic format as a matter of course; however, where we do, we only provide electronic copies of Deliverables in accordance with this policy. By asking us to supply you with, or accepting receipt of, Deliverables, you are agreeing to comply with this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, you must inform us immediately, before we provide you with any Deliverables or, where Deliverables have already been provided, ensure that all copies thereof are destroyed and confirm this to us immediately.

Emergency Printing of Materials for Oliver Wight Presentations / Events

Should the situation arise where we are not able to ship materials to arrive in time for an Oliver Wight presented private event or other presentation to be made by Oliver Wight, we may arrange for you to print those materials direct or via a printer known / local to you. In these circumstances, any electronic material sent to you should be used solely for printing those materials for the agreed number of attendees at the Oliver Wight presentation / event in question and for no other purpose. Once this has been completed, all electronic copies are to be destroyed and confirmation sent to us in writing that this has been done. Any outsourced printer should be subject to the same or similar conditions as to confidentiality and usage as exist in this policy.
