Stylish Galore respects the intellectual-property rights of photographers, designers, writers, artists, brands, publishers and other content creators.

We make reasonable efforts to use images and other materials lawfully, provide appropriate attribution where required and respond promptly to legitimate copyright concerns. This policy explains how copyrighted material may appear on Stylish Galore and how rights holders can request review, correction or removal.

The formal notice requirements below are based on Section 512 of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Our Good-Faith Approach to Content Use

Stylish Galore publishes educational and inspirational content about interior design, home décor, organization, small-space living, furniture, products and related topics.

Images and other materials may be used to:

Illustrate interior-design concepts
Demonstrate decorating ideas
Discuss products or design trends
Explain room layouts or colour combinations
Provide educational commentary
Support product comparisons or recommendations
Show examples of particular styles or techniques

We aim to use every image and creative work respectfully and only when we reasonably believe that its use is permitted, licensed, appropriately attributed or otherwise lawful.

However, ownership information can sometimes be unclear, incomplete or incorrectly associated with material found online. If you believe that your copyrighted work appears on Stylish Galore without appropriate authorization, please contact us so we can review the matter.

Respect for Visual Creators

Stylish Galore recognizes the work of photographers, interior designers, architects, stylists, illustrators, artists, brands and other visual creators.

Visual content can require substantial creativity, experience, equipment, planning and financial resources. We do not intentionally claim ownership of another creator’s original work or knowingly remove accurate ownership information.

When we become aware of a valid concern, we aim to handle it professionally, respectfully and without unnecessary delay.

How Images May Appear on Stylish Galore

Images published on Stylish Galore may come from one or more of the following sources.

Original Photography and Visual Content

Some photographs, illustrations, graphics or digital compositions may be created specifically for Stylish Galore by its owner, contributors, contractors or collaborators.

Unless otherwise stated, original content created for Stylish Galore is protected by applicable copyright law and may not be copied, republished, modified, distributed or commercially exploited without prior permission.

Licensed Stock Photography

We may use images obtained through paid or free stock-photography platforms.

Such images are used according to the licence available at the time they are downloaded or published. Licence terms may differ between platforms and individual images.

Where attribution is required, we aim to provide it in accordance with the relevant licence.

Brand, Retailer and Product Images

Articles may include images supplied or published by:

Product manufacturers
Retailers
Design studios
Furniture companies
Home-improvement brands
Public-relations representatives
Affiliate partners

These images may be used to identify, review, compare, discuss or recommend products and services.

All trademarks, logos, product names and brand-owned photographs remain the property of their respective owners.

Creative Commons Material

Some material may be used under a Creative Commons or similar public licence.

When required, we aim to provide:

The creator’s name
The original source
The applicable licence
A link to the licence
An indication of whether changes were made

Licence information is reviewed using the details available at the time of publication.

Public-Domain Material

Stylish Galore may use material believed to be in the public domain.

This may include certain historical works, government-created resources or material for which applicable copyright protection has expired.

Publicly accessible content is not automatically public-domain content. We aim to distinguish between material that is merely available online and material that is legally free to use.

AI-Assisted and Digitally Created Images

Stylish Galore may use AI-assisted visuals, illustrations, digital mock-ups or conceptual room images.

Such visuals are generally intended to communicate a decorating idea, colour palette, room style or design concept. They should not be interpreted as architectural plans, technical drawings or guaranteed representations of an achievable finished result.

We aim to avoid deliberately generating or publishing images that reproduce a known creator’s protected work in a substantially similar manner.

Reader and Contributor Submissions

Images may occasionally be submitted by readers, contributors, brands or collaborators.

By submitting an image, the sender represents that they own the material or have sufficient authorization to allow Stylish Galore to use it.

Stylish Galore reserves the right to decline, edit, remove or request further information about submitted content.

Attribution

Where attribution is required or appropriate, it may appear:

Beneath an image
In an image caption
Within the relevant article
At the end of an article
On a dedicated credits page
Through a link to the original creator or source

The exact attribution format may depend on the licence, source and available ownership information.

We aim to credit the original creator rather than an account or website that merely reposted the material.

Attribution does not, by itself, replace the need for permission when permission is legally required.

Missing or Incomplete Attribution

Despite reasonable efforts, an image may occasionally appear with missing, outdated or incomplete credit.

This can happen when:

Ownership information is unavailable
An image has been widely reposted
Metadata has been removed
A source page is deleted or changed
The original creator is incorrectly identified
A licence or attribution requirement is misunderstood

We do not intentionally withhold accurate attribution.

A creator or rights holder may contact us to request:

Corrected attribution
An updated creator name
A link to the original source
A licence correction
Replacement of the image
Removal of the image

Where the request can be reasonably verified, we will review the appropriate correction.

Informal Copyright Concerns

Rights holders are welcome to contact Stylish Galore before submitting a formal DMCA notice.

An informal request may be appropriate when you want us to:

Add or correct attribution
Link to your website or portfolio
Replace an image
Remove a specific image
Correct ownership information
Discuss permission or licensing

We aim to resolve genuine concerns cooperatively whenever possible.

Sending an informal request does not limit your right to submit a formal copyright-infringement notice.

Formal DMCA Copyright-Infringement Notice

If you believe that material available through Stylish Galore infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a written notification to our designated copyright contact.

To be effective under the DMCA, a takedown notice generally needs to identify the copyrighted work, identify the allegedly infringing material, provide the sender’s contact information, include required good-faith and accuracy statements and contain a physical or electronic signature.

Information Required in Your Notice

Please include all of the following:

Identification of the copyrighted work Clearly identify the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. When multiple works are involved, you may provide a representative list.
Identification of the material in question Identify the material you believe is infringing and provide enough information for us to locate it. Include the exact Stylish Galore page URL and, where applicable, describe where the image or material appears on the page.
Your contact information Provide your:
- Full name

- Mailing address

Good-faith statement Include a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
Accuracy and authority statement Include a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Signature Include your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that omit important information may take longer to review or may not qualify as valid DMCA notices.

After receiving a reasonably complete copyright notice, Stylish Galore may:

Confirm receipt of the notice.
Review the information provided.

Temporarily restrict access to the material while it is reviewed.
Remove or disable access to material when appropriate.
Contact the person who submitted or published the material.

Submitting a notice does not guarantee removal. We may consider whether the notice is complete, whether the sender has demonstrated sufficient authority and whether the challenged use may be licensed, authorized or otherwise lawful.

Counter-Notification

When material is removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice, the person who supplied the material may submit a counter-notification if they believe the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification.

A counter-notification should include:

The person’s physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled.
The location where the material appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that the person has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
The person’s full name, address and telephone number.
Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States federal district court.
Agreement to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent.

DMCA Counter-Notification – Stylish Galore

Restoration of Removed Material

After a valid counter-notification is forwarded to the original complaining party, the material may be restored in accordance with applicable law unless the complaining party informs us that it has initiated appropriate legal proceedings.

Stylish Galore may decline to restore content when:

The counter-notification is incomplete
The sender’s identity cannot reasonably be verified
Restoration would violate another law or contractual obligation
The content violates a separate website policy
A court order or other legal restriction applies

Misrepresentations and False Claims

Do not knowingly make false statements about:

Ownership
Authorization
Infringement
Removal by mistake
The location or identity of material
Your authority to act for another party

A person who knowingly makes material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notification may be responsible for resulting damages, costs or legal fees.

Consider obtaining advice from a qualified copyright professional before submitting a formal notice when you are uncertain about your rights.

Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate, Stylish Galore may restrict or terminate access for contributors or users who repeatedly submit infringing material.

We may also remove material associated with repeated, credible copyright complaints.

Any repeat-infringer determination will be made in good faith and in light of the circumstances reasonably available to us.
