Copyright Policy

This Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy (“Policy”) describes the ownership, permitted use, and protection of all content appearing on the website located at https://restorenrefresh.com (the “Website”), operated by Restore N Refresh (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a family-owned and operated cleaning services company located at 242 Thornwood Drive, Acworth, Georgia 30101.

This Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms and Conditions of Website Use and Privacy Policy, both of which are published on the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to comply with this Policy. This Policy is intended to comply with the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.), the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and all applicable Georgia state law.

1. OWNERSHIP OF WEBSITE CONTENT

All content published on this Website, including but not limited to text, written descriptions, service information, pricing content, blog posts, articles, the Company name, taglines, logos, graphics, page layouts, design elements, color schemes, icons, and the overall look and feel of the Website (collectively, “Proprietary Content”), is owned by or licensed to Restore N Refresh and is protected by United States copyright law, trademark law, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

The compilation and arrangement of all content on this Website constitutes a copyrightable work owned exclusively by Restore N Refresh, regardless of whether individual elements are independently copyrightable.

2. IMAGES AND VISUAL CONTENT

2.1 Categories of Visual Content

This Website contains visual content that falls into the following categories, each of which is subject to different ownership and licensing terms:

2.2 Original Photographs

Photographs taken by or on behalf of Restore N Refresh depicting actual before-and-after results, Company technicians, equipment, or job sites are the exclusive original works of the Company and are fully protected under 17 U.S.C. § 102. These images may not be reproduced, copied, distributed, modified, or used in any form without the express prior written consent of Restore N Refresh.

2.3 Licensed Stock Photography

Certain images on this Website are sourced from third-party stock photography platforms under paid commercial license agreements. These images are licensed to Restore N Refresh for use on this Website under the terms of the respective platform’s license agreement. Such licenses are personal to the Company and do not transfer to Website visitors or any third party.

The Company has obtained valid licenses for all stock photography used on this Website. The existence of a stock image on this Website does not grant any right to copy, download, reproduce, or reuse that image. The original copyright in any licensed stock photograph remains with the photographer or the stock photography platform, as applicable. Unauthorized reproduction of licensed stock images may constitute infringement of both the Company’s contractual rights and the original copyright owner’s rights.

Stock imagery used on this Website may be sourced from platforms including but not limited to industry-standard paid stock libraries. Specific image credits are available upon written request by contacting us using the information in Section 8.

2.4 AI-Generated Images

Certain visual content on this Website has been created using artificial intelligence image generation tools accessed through paid commercial subscriptions (“AI-Generated Content”). The Company has obtained these images through platforms that grant commercial use rights to subscribers for AI-generated outputs produced through their services.

The copyright status of AI-generated images continues to evolve under United States law. As of the effective date of this Policy, the United States Copyright Office has indicated that works produced entirely by AI without sufficient human creative authorship may not be eligible for copyright registration. However, where human creative input, selection, arrangement, editing, or modification has been applied to AI-generated outputs by or on behalf of the Company, such contributions may give rise to copyright protection in those elements.

Regardless of the precise copyright status of individual AI-generated images, the following applies:

  • AI-Generated Content has been obtained through paid subscriptions that grant the Company commercial use rights for business purposes, including website publication.
  • The Company asserts its contractual rights under the applicable platform’s terms of service with respect to all AI-Generated Content used on this Website.
  • No Website visitor acquires any right to copy, reproduce, download, or reuse AI-Generated Content from this Website by virtue of accessing it.
  • Any AI-Generated Content that incorporates human creative direction, editing, or selection by or on behalf of the Company is claimed as proprietary content of Restore N Refresh to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.5 No Implied License

The display of any image on this Website — whether an original photograph, licensed stock image, or AI-generated image — does not constitute a grant of any license or right to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, display, or create derivative works from that image. Any use of images from this Website without express written authorization from the Company and, where applicable, the original rights holder, is strictly prohibited.

3. TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS

The name “Restore N Refresh,” the Company’s logo, taglines (including but not limited to “ECO-FRIENDLY · RESIDUE FREE”), and any other brand identifiers appearing on this Website are common law trademarks and service marks of Restore N Refresh, whether or not registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Georgia Secretary of State.

Nothing on this Website shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any of the Company’s trademarks or service marks without the prior express written permission of Restore N Refresh. Unauthorized use of the Company’s trademarks in connection with any products or services that are not those of the Company, in a manner that is likely to cause confusion, or in any manner that disparages or discredits the Company, is strictly prohibited and may constitute trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq. and applicable Georgia law.
