Content Use Policy

Print2theT (Pty) Ltd · www.print2theT.co.za
Version 1.0 · Effective [18/09/2026] · Last reviewed [01/10/2026]

1. About this Policy

This Content Use Policy ("Policy") governs your access to and use of the website at www.print2theT.co.za, together with all subdomains, pages, applications and online design tools made available on or through it (collectively, the "Website").

The Website is owned and operated by Print2theT (Pty) Ltd, a private company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (registration number 2014/110521/07) ("Print2theT", "we", "us" or "our").

By accessing, browsing, or using the Website in any manner — including by automated means — you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Website.

This Policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions of Sale, our Privacy Policy (issued in terms of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013), and any product-specific terms displayed at the point of order.

2. Definitions

• "Content" means all material made available on or through the Website, whether visible to you or not, including text, headings, product descriptions, pricing information, photographs, illustrations, vector artwork, SVG files, icons, symbols, clipart libraries, logos, trade marks, page layouts, colour schemes, typography, audio, video, data compilations, and the Source Code.
• "Source Code" means all HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, JSON, SVG markup, database schemas, application programming interfaces, configuration, comments and documentation underlying the Website, whether delivered to your browser, stored on our servers, or embedded in any file served to you.
• "Design Tools" means our interactive online product designers, including without limitation the Golf Ball Designer, Golf Tee Designer, 3-Ball Sleeve Designer, Eversharp Pencil Designer and Metal Marker Designer, together with their underlying logic, layout engines, rendering pipelines, pricing engines, artwork libraries and user interfaces.
• "Customer Artwork" means any logo, image, text, design or other material that you upload to, create within, or submit through the Website.
• "User", "you" or "your" means any person who accesses the Website by any means, whether human or automated.

3. Ownership of Content

All Content is the exclusive property of Print2theT or of our licensors, suppliers or content partners, and is protected by South African and international intellectual property law.

Copyright in original literary works (including computer programs), artistic works, and published editions subsists automatically in terms of section 2 of the Copyright Act 98 of 1978 (as amended), without any requirement of registration, deposit or the display of a copyright notice. The absence of a © symbol on any particular item of Content does not mean that item is unprotected or in the public domain.

3.1 Computer programs and the Source Code

We draw your attention specifically to the Source Code. A computer program is expressly recognised as a category of work eligible for copyright under section 2(1)(i) of the Copyright Act, and is separately defined in section 1(1) as a set of instructions fixed or stored in any manner which, when used directly or indirectly in a computer, directs its operation to bring about a result.

The Design Tools represent a substantial investment of skill, labour, judgement and expense. Each embodies proprietary logic including, without limitation: print-area geometry and coordinate mapping derived from physical product measurements; layout and arrangement engines; proportional sizing algorithms that maintain fidelity between on-screen preview and production artwork; gesture and interaction handling; artwork capture and rasterisation pipelines; quantity-tiered pricing engines; and curated artwork libraries.

The fact that portions of the Source Code are necessarily transmitted to your browser in order for the Website to function does not place that code in the public domain and does not grant you any licence to copy, retain, adapt or reuse it. Delivery for the purpose of rendering a page is not publication for the purpose of reuse.

3.2 Images and artwork

All photographs, product images, renderings, illustrations, vector artwork, SVG files, icons, symbols and clipart made available on the Website are protected as artistic works under section 2(1)(c) of the Copyright Act. This includes:

• product photography and product renderings;
• vector artwork and SVG product illustrations used within the Design Tools;
• our curated clipart and symbol libraries;
• composite preview images generated by the Design Tools; and
• artwork licensed to us by third parties, which remains the property of those third parties.

Right-clicking and saving an image, screenshotting it, or retrieving it directly by URL does not confer any right to use it.

3.3 Trade marks

"Print2theT", the Print2theT logo, our device marks and our get-up are trade marks of Print2theT (Pty) Ltd, whether registered or unregistered. Unauthorised use may constitute infringement under section 34 of the Trade Marks Act 194 of 1993 and may additionally found an action for passing off at common law.

Third-party brand names, product names and marks appearing on the Website (including those of pencil, marker, tee and golf ball manufacturers) are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only. No endorsement, affiliation or sponsorship is implied.

4. Limited Licence Granted to You

Subject to your continued compliance with this Policy, Print2theT grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to:

• access and view the Website using a standard web browser on a device you own or control;
• use the Design Tools to create artwork for the purpose of requesting a quotation from, or placing an order with, Print2theT;
• print or download a single copy of pages, quotations or design previews issued to you, solely for your own records in connection with a transaction with us; and
• share ordinary hyperlinks to publicly accessible pages of the Website, provided the link opens the page in full, in its own window, without framing, and does not imply any endorsement or association that does not exist.

This licence confers no ownership. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The licence terminates automatically, without notice, upon any breach of this Policy.

5. Prohibited Uses

Except to the extent expressly permitted in clause 4, or expressly permitted by a peremptory provision of applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded, you may not, and may not permit or enable any third party to:

5.1 Copying and reproduction

• copy, reproduce, republish, duplicate, transmit, distribute, display, perform, broadcast or make available any Content, in whole or in part, in any medium;
• adapt, translate, modify, alter or create derivative works from any Content;
• remove, obscure or alter any copyright notice, trade mark, watermark, metadata or other proprietary marking;
• circumvent, disable or interfere with any watermark, access control or technological protection measure applied to any Content.

5.2 Source Code and the Design Tools

Without limiting the above, you may not:

• replicate the structure, layout, interaction model, workflow or "look and feel" of the Design Tools;
• extract, copy or reuse our print-area geometry, coordinate mappings, proportional sizing logic, pricing tiers or pricing engines;
• extract, copy or reuse our artwork libraries, symbol sets or clipart collections;
• embed, frame, iframe, proxy, mirror or otherwise surface any part of the Website or the Design Tools within another website, application or service; or
• hotlink to, or serve from your own property, any image, SVG, font, stylesheet, script or other asset hosted by us.

5.3 Automated access, scraping and data mining

• use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, headless browser, script or other automated means to access, monitor, index, copy or extract Content, except by a bona fide search engine crawler acting in compliance with our robots.txt file;
• perform systematic or bulk retrieval of Content, whether manually or by automated means, so as to create or compile a collection, database, directory or archive;
• use the Website or any Content for text and data mining, machine learning, or the training, fine-tuning, validation, evaluation, grounding or retrieval-augmentation of any artificial intelligence or machine learning model or system; or
• use the Website in any manner that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionate load on our infrastructure.

5.4 Security and integrity

• access or attempt to access any part of the Website, server, database or account that you are not authorised to access;
• intercept, acquire, interfere with, damage, delete, alter or render vulnerable any data held by or transmitted to or from us;
• introduce any malware, virus, trojan, worm, logic bomb or other harmful code; or
• use, possess, produce or distribute any software or hardware tool for the purpose of committing any of the foregoing.

Conduct of this nature may constitute a criminal offence under the Cybercrimes Act 19 of 2020, including unlawful access (section 2), unlawful interception of data (section 3), unlawful acts in respect of software or hardware tools (section 5), and unlawful acquisition, possession, provision, receipt or use of data (sections 6 and 7). We report suspected offences to the South African Police Service.

5.5 Commercial and competitive use

• use any Content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent;
• use the Website or any Content to develop, market, operate or promote any product or service that competes with Print2theT;
• resell, sublicense, rent, lease or otherwise commercially exploit access to the Website or the Design Tools; or
• use the Website for benchmarking, competitive analysis or the compilation of competitor pricing intelligence.

6. Customer Artwork

Where you upload, create or submit Customer Artwork through the Website, the following applies.

6.1 Your ownership and our licence

You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you already hold in your Customer Artwork. By submitting it, you grant Print2theT a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, reproduce, adapt, resize, colour-separate, proof and otherwise process that artwork to the extent reasonably necessary to prepare your quotation, produce your order, and provide customer support in relation to it.

6.2 Your warranties

You warrant and represent that:

• you own, or hold all necessary licences, consents and permissions in respect of, all intellectual property rights in the Customer Artwork;
• the Customer Artwork does not infringe the copyright, trade mark, design right, personality right or any other right of any third party;
• where the Customer Artwork incorporates a club badge, corporate logo, sports emblem, institutional crest, or any third-party mark, you are duly authorised to reproduce it on branded merchandise; and
• the Customer Artwork is not unlawful, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, or contrary to public policy.

6.3 Indemnity

You indemnify and hold Print2theT, its directors, employees and agents harmless against all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, penalties and costs (including attorney-and-own-client legal costs) arising from or connected to any breach of the warranties in clause 6.2.

6.4 Our discretion to decline

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without obligation to give reasons, to decline to produce any Customer Artwork where we have reason to believe it may infringe a third party's rights or may otherwise be unlawful. Declining to produce artwork does not constitute an admission or finding of infringement.

6.5 Artwork libraries within the Design Tools

Symbols, clipart, flags and other artwork supplied within the Design Tools are licensed to you solely for incorporation into a design produced by Print2theT. They may not be extracted, downloaded or used for any other purpose, including on products not supplied by us.

7. Third-Party Content

The Website may incorporate content, fonts, icons, libraries or data supplied by third parties under licence. Such content remains the property of its respective owner and may be subject to additional or different terms. Where we are aware of a specific third-party licence requirement, we comply with it; your permitted use of such content is no wider than the use we are ourselves licensed to permit.

The Website may link to external websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of any linked site.

8. Fair Dealing and Statutory Exceptions

Nothing in this Policy purports to exclude or limit any use of Content that is permitted by a peremptory provision of applicable law, including the fair dealing exceptions in sections 12 to 19B of the Copyright Act 98 of 1978 (fair dealing for the purposes of research or private study, personal or private use, criticism or review, or reporting current events), and the exception for persons with disabilities as read into the Act by order of the Constitutional Court.

Where you rely on such an exception, you must confine your use strictly within its bounds and, where the exception so requires, provide sufficient acknowledgement of the source and of Print2theT as the owner.

We record, for the avoidance of doubt, that South African law does not presently contain a general "fair use" defence of the kind found in United States law. The wholesale copying of the Source Code, images or artwork libraries for commercial or competitive purposes falls outside every recognised statutory exception.

9. International Protection

Our Content is protected outside South Africa as well as within it.

Instrument	Effect
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works	South Africa is a contracting party. Our works enjoy automatic protection in all contracting states, without formality, on the basis of national treatment.
TRIPS Agreement (WTO)	Establishes minimum standards of protection and enforcement, expressly including copyright protection for computer programs as literary works, across all WTO member states.
Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property	Supports our trade mark and unfair competition position internationally.
United States	17 U.S.C. § 512 (DMCA) takedown procedures are available to us in respect of infringing material hosted by US service providers.
European Union	Directive 2001/29/EC (InfoSoc) and Directive (EU) 2019/790 (DSM), including the Article 4(3) text and data mining reservation we make in clause 5.3.
United Kingdom	Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

Accessing the Website from outside South Africa does not exempt you from this Policy. You remain responsible for compliance with the laws of your own jurisdiction in addition to this Policy.

10. Enforcement and Remedies

We monitor for unauthorised use of our Content, including by automated means. Where infringement is detected we may, without prejudice to any other right:

1. suspend or terminate your access to the Website, including by blocking IP ranges or networks;
2. issue a takedown notification to the relevant service provider, including a notification in terms of section 77 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 to a member of a recognised industry representative body, or a DMCA notification where the material is hosted in the United States;
3. demand delivery-up or destruction of infringing copies;
4. institute civil proceedings for interdictory relief, damages, or in lieu of damages a reasonable royalty, and delivery-up, in terms of section 24 of the Copyright Act 98 of 1978;
5. institute proceedings for trade mark infringement, passing off or unlawful competition;
6. lay a criminal complaint in respect of offences under section 27 of the Copyright Act, the Counterfeit Goods Act 37 of 1997, or the Cybercrimes Act 19 of 2020; and
7. recover our legal costs on an attorney-and-own-client scale.

Our failure to enforce any provision of this Policy on any occasion is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it subsequently.

11. Reporting Infringement

If you believe that material on the Website infringes your rights, please send a written notice to the address in clause 15 containing: your full name and contact details; identification of the work said to be infringed; the precise location (URL) of the material complained of; a statement of the grounds of complaint; a statement that you hold the relevant rights or are authorised to act; and your signature. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable period.

12. Personal Information

Our collection and processing of personal information is governed by the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 and is dealt with in our Privacy Policy. Where you access the Website from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the applicable data protection regime may additionally apply. Nothing in this Policy authorises you to harvest, scrape or compile personal information from the Website, which is separately prohibited by clause 5.3 and may constitute an offence.

13. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

The Website and its Content are provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject always to the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 where it applies, we do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that Content, including pricing and product information, is complete or current. Design previews are visual representations only; final printed output may vary in colour and detail, and is subject to the specifications confirmed in your quotation.

Nothing in this Policy excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. General

Governing law. This Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Jurisdiction. You consent to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate's Court having jurisdiction over you in terms of section 45 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 32 of 1944, notwithstanding that the claim may exceed that court's monetary jurisdiction, provided that we retain the right to institute proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

Amendment. We may amend this Policy at any time by publishing an updated version on the Website. The version in force at the time of your access governs that access. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it is severable and the remaining provisions continue in full force.

Whole agreement. This Policy, together with the documents referred to in clause 1, constitutes the whole agreement between us in respect of your use of the Website.
