Copyright Statement

Some people seem to feel that anything published on the internet can be copied freely; this is not true. Everything belongs to its author or creator and, except where noted otherwise, all the text and images on this website are my copyright. This extends to images that I have obtained from original sources such as adverts, patents etc. that are out of copyright where I have found or scanned the original image, edited it to remove defects and make it clearer, rearranged elements to make it more suitable for a web page, coloured parts for easier understanding, etc., etc. My copyright is the resulting unique image.

I have put a lot of time and effort into creating the original content on this web site and I would prefer my hard work to be acknowledged; I think that is only fair, don't you?

You are welcome to use limited quotes or an image from my web site for non-commercial use (including blogs and private eBay listings) so long as you include a statement Information / Image from VintageWatchstraps.com © David Boettcher. If you use an image this must be in a caption of the picture.

For any commercial use please contact me first. I use low resolution images on the web site because they are appropriate for computer screens and reduce loading time. These are not suitable for print medium and higher resolution versions may be available on request.

If you have any comments or questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch via my Contact Me page.
