Some Explanation About The Copyright Expectations

Copyright Theft informationThis page is just to give you a little bit of information on the copyrights of this site. A lot of research was undertaken in books and on the internet to create the text on this site. As such we want it to be as unique as possible and therefore the copying of text verbatim is not allowed.

Clearly we are happy for you to use our site in your own research about Guardamar del Segura and the Costa Blanca but do not plagiarise the text, use your own ideas as well as any facts you discover.

We do appreciate that sometimes phrases or sections of a paragraph may be duplicated due to forgetting where you had read the information when you made your notes whilst doing your research, but copying a whole page or paragraph is bad practice.

The other area of concern is the photos on this site. All photographs that have been taken by our photographers have a small copyright message on the bottom, these photos or sections of them are not to be reproduced without permission.

You will see a small image at the bottom of each page indicating that our page is protected by CopyScape. CopyScape keeps track of our pages and can locate sites that have used our text, on being informed of a copyright infringement we will pursue further action.

In the first instance we will approach you and ask you to change the text or remove the page that is infringing our copyrights; if you don't comply with our request to remove or change your text within the given time period we will approach your Web Host who can be held accountable in part and may take your site offline until the issue is resolved.

Our final course of action will be to pursue it through the legal system. So please, to avoid any unpleasantness, do not plagiarise our site or copy our photographs. The internet is an interesting place only when websites offer unique content to their visitors.

As further proof to the authorities that a web page has been plagiarised it is possible to trace the page using the Web Archive. This archive has been archiving websites since 1996 and is proof that a web page has been plagiarised.
