Intellectual Property
This site contains intellectual property which is proprietary and protected under statute. There are consequences of attempting to decipher, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer any of the developments making up part or all of the site. Whether you are a developer or end client, please be aware that Plastic Sheets takes its intellectual property very seriously. Where our developments have been used by others, whether stolen or copied, your respective companies (both developers and clients) will be liable for damages, including royalties from the date of infringement of our intellectual property rights. In addition to corporate sanctions, individuals involved, including directors, line managers and staff of developer organisations (including sole traders), and directors, line managers and staff of client organisation, will be pursued individually. For these individuals, this might include civil and criminal liability. These actions might be commenced in Australia, as well as in foreign jurisdictions such as the United States. Please familiarise yourself with information on The United States Department of Justice’s website regarding International Intellectual Property Crime.
