Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice

Effective date: 20 October 2026 | Last updated: 20 October 2026

1. Ownership

This website and everything published on it are the property of Foshan Zhuowan Hardware Materials Co., Ltd. (“Zhuowan”, “we”, “us”) or are used by us under licence. The site is protected by copyright, trademark and unfair competition laws of the People’s Republic of China, and by international conventions to which China is a party, including the Berne Convention.

2. What This Notice Covers

The following are protected works and are not in the public domain:

Product photography — all images of products, packaging, pallets, containers and applications published in our catalogue and on this site, including derivative crops, resized versions and any image published under a file name beginning with “zw-“.
Product descriptions and technical copy — the English text used to describe materials, finishes, tolerances, standards, applications and selection guidance for each product.
Catalogue structure — the classification system, category hierarchy, naming conventions, SKU structure and comparison data used on this site.
Illustrations and diagrams — technical drawings, dimensional diagrams, tables and any graphic produced by us.
Website design and code — the layout, typography, visual design, page templates, CSS and scripts of this site.
Brand elements — the “ZW” logo, the trading name and any associated marks.

3. What You May Do Without Asking

Browse the site and print pages for your own internal purchasing evaluation.
Share a link to any page on this site, including in emails, quotations, tenders and social media.
Quote a short excerpt of product text (up to 100 words) for review, comparison or commentary, provided you attribute it to us and link back to the original page.
Use our product images inside a formal purchasing document or tender submission, in which your customer is the end recipient, without editing them and without removing any marking.

4. What Is Not Permitted

Without our prior written permission, you may not:

Copy, download in bulk, scrape or extract product images, descriptions or catalogue data by any automated means, including crawlers, scrapers, browser extensions or AI agents.
Re-publish our images or text on another website, marketplace, B2B platform, catalogue or social media account — including as part of your own product listings.
Remove, crop out, blur or otherwise obscure any watermark, logo, caption or identifying element from an image.
Use our images or text to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine learning model.
Hotlink images directly from our servers, or mirror, frame or proxy this site or any substantial part of it.
Present our catalogue, descriptions or photography as your own work, or imply that we endorse your business.
Use our brand name, logo or product photography in advertising, packaging or domain names in a way that suggests an affiliation that does not exist.

5. Evidence and Tracing

Every image and document published on this site is recorded in our media library at the moment of upload, together with its original file, file hash, upload timestamp and publication history. This record independently establishes the date on which a work was first published by us, which is the evidence normally required when a claim of copyright infringement is made.

We also reserve the right to embed imperceptible identifiers in images published on this site. Where such an identifier is present, it is invisible under normal viewing and does not affect image quality, but it allows an image found elsewhere to be matched against our original records. If you have received an image that appears to originate from us and you are unsure whether your supplier holds a licence, contact us and we will check it against our register.

6. Reporting Infringement

If you believe a third party is reproducing our works, you can help us by sending a notice to info@foshanzwhardware.com. To be actionable, a notice should include:

Identification of the work concerned, with the URL of the original page on our site and, where available, the image file name.
The URL or location of the allegedly infringing material, with a screenshot where practicable.
Your name, company and contact details, so that we can respond.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, to the best of your knowledge.

We acknowledge notices within 5 business days. Where a claim is substantiated, we pursue the available remedies, which may include a takedown request to the host or platform, a complaint to the search engine under applicable notice-and-takedown procedures, a demand for removal and an accounting of profits, or legal proceedings.

7. Our Response to Infringement of Our Rights

Where we establish that a third party has copied our content, we normally proceed in this order: (a) a written demand for removal and written confirmation that the material has been deleted; (b) a takedown notice to the hosting provider or marketplace; (c) a removal request to search engines, referencing our publication record; (d) formal legal action where the commercial harm justifies it. We keep a record of all such matters.

8. Licensing and Cooperation

Legitimate use is easy to arrange. If you are a distributor, reseller, integrator or agency that would like to use our photography or product copy in your own marketing, ask us. We can grant a written licence covering defined images, a defined territory and a defined period, and can supply high-resolution files and specification sheets directly. Licensed partners receive files without the need to copy from the site.

9. Note on Product Sourcing

We are a distributor. Certain product families we supply are manufactured by third parties, and the photographs published on this site are our own images of goods we stock or can supply. Nothing in this notice claims ownership of any third party’s manufacturing rights, patents or trademarks, which remain with their respective owners.
