Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: 27 August 2026

1. Ownership

The music, compositions, lyrics, sound recordings, artwork, photographs, written material, branding and other creative works displayed or referenced through the websites of Vandermonts Publishing are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

Unless otherwise stated, rights are owned by, controlled by or administered on behalf of the relevant rights holder, including Vandermonts Publishing Pty Ltd and/or Ebony Vandermont, as applicable.

2. No permission is granted by website access

Viewing, streaming, listening to, downloading or otherwise accessing material through our websites does not transfer ownership or grant a licence to use that material.

No rights should be inferred merely because a work is publicly accessible.

3. Prohibited uses

Unless expressly authorised in writing, you must not:

• copy or reproduce a work;
• distribute or publish a work;
• upload a work to another platform;
• sample or interpolate a work;
• remix or alter a work;
• create derivative works;
• use a work in film or television;
• synchronise a work with visual content;
• use a work in advertising;
• use a work in games;
• use a work in social media advertising or commercial campaigns;
• use a work in another artist’s recording;
• perform a work commercially;
• commercially exploit a work;
• register a work with a collecting society or rights organisation as your own;
• claim authorship or ownership of a work; or
• otherwise exploit a work without appropriate written authorisation.

4. Licensing and acquisition

Selected works may be available for licensing, exclusive acquisition or other commercial arrangements.

Availability does not mean that a work is automatically licensed.

Any rights granted will be determined exclusively by the relevant written agreement.

5. Copyright remains reserved

Unless a written agreement expressly states otherwise, all rights are reserved.

A proposed sale, licence, acquisition or commercial arrangement does not transfer any rights until the relevant contractual requirements have been satisfied.

6. Unauthorised use

We reserve the right to take appropriate action in response to unauthorised copying, distribution, exploitation or other infringement of intellectual property rights.

This may include requesting removal of infringing material, issuing formal notices and pursuing available legal remedies.

7. Third-party material

Some website content may include material owned by third parties or links to third-party services.

Nothing in this policy grants permission to use third-party material beyond the rights provided by the relevant rights holder or platform.
