Known as 'passing off', it is an offence under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010." The brand tagline "Discover the life of birdsTM" is also an unregistered trademark, appearing on Simply Stunning Birds TM branded content; and thus, is subjected to the same regulations.
​
You agree not to copy, modify, create derivative works of, download, adapt, reverse engineer, emulate, migrate to another service, translate, compile, decompile or disassemble the Simply Stunning Birds TM Website, the Simply Stunning Birds TM YouTube channel, the Simply Stunning Birds TM services (or any part thereof), any content offered by Simply Stunning Birds TM or third party services for use and display within user platforms and/or any part thereof in any way, or publicly display, perform, transmit or distribute any of the foregoing without Simply Stunning Birds TM prior written and specific consent and/or as expressly permitted under the Simply Stunning Birds TM Terms.

3. Conditions Outlining "Fair Use" of Content
​
Where website content is shared by the user on an approved social media platform (under "Fair Use" principles only), the user is obligated to site Simply Stunning Birds TM as the exclusive source of the shared content. This is often automatically completed for user protection; however it is the user's sole responsibility to verify the fact before sharing website content in any form. The user therefore acknowledges that incorrect sharing of intellectual property belonging to Simply Stunning Birds TM may damage its integrity/originality; and thus accepts potential liability, in the absence of correct citation.
​
Approved social media platforms include Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, Linkedin, Twitter, Whatsapp and Facebook, although exclusive of unlisted affiliates; thus excluding differently branded platforms owned by an approved platform. Note that sharing website content on snapchat is prohibited. Sharing website content on an unapproved social media platform, offline (i.e. printed content) or in any other manner is prohibited.
​
The above conditions (in 3.) also apply for the sharing of Simply Stunning Birds TM intellectual property on YouTube.
