Under Australian copyright law, copyright automatically exists in original artistic works and designs where they are the result of skill, creativity and effort, and are fixed in material form, including digital files, drawings, artwork, patterns and product concepts.

Purchase of a Skincident product does not transfer ownership of the underlying intellectual property, artwork, pattern or design.

Customers may use and enjoy the products for personal use only.

Reproduction, replication, modification, commercial use, resale of copied designs, or unauthorised manufacturing based on Skincident designs is strictly prohibited.

Where Skincident collaborates with artists, photographers, creators or suppliers, ownership and licensing arrangements relating to those works remain subject to the terms agreed with the original creator.
