Media Copyright Conditions

The use of EDGA media by a third party

EDGA is a ‘not-for-profit’ voluntary organisation and in order to grow and provide the best service to our members, we need to use every opportunity to ‘spread the word’. We already have an amazing selection of media and believe it’s only fair to ask for recognition for its use.

We only ask for recognition

You may therefore use any media displayed on our EDGA website, Facebook Page, our YouTube Channel, at any event or within any publication providing the following conditions are applied:

a. You must publish an acknowledgement to EDGA and the creator of the media (if known) wherever it’s used.

b. The media must not be associated with any product or service that could harm or discredit EDGA or the people displayed on the media.

c. You are allowed to use the media for almost any business, personal, educational or charitable purpose and can be used anywhere in the world, as many times as you need and for as long as you want.

How to word the acknowledgement

When publishing an acknowledgement you must include our name in full The European Disabled Golf Association, our website www.edgagolf.com and the name of the media contributor (if known) such as the photographers name for example. If we know the name of the media contributor, we will try to include it on the media or within the accompanying text.

The font used should not be smaller than 7 point and format should be as follows:

[Image, Video, Audio] courtesy of [name of the image creator]+[for] The European Disabled Golf Association, www.edgagolf.com

Where to put the acknowledgement

Where you place the acknowledgement will vary according to the way you are using the media. Here are some common examples of how our media is used and where the acknowledgement should be positioned for each one:
