Copyright & Content Use Policy
Page content
Effective date: 15 November 2026
This policy explains permitted use of images, written content and catalogue information on officestock.co.za, operated by Office Stock (Pty) Ltd, trading as Office Stock. Read it with our Terms & Conditions.
Ownership of website content
Office Stock retains the rights it owns in its original photographs, descriptions, graphics, guides and original selection or arrangement of catalogue content. Supplier photographs, manufacturer materials, trademarks and other third-party content remain the property of their respective rights holders. Display on this website does not grant permission to republish that content. We do not claim exclusive ownership of public facts, product dimensions, model numbers or other information that is not protected by law.
Permitted customer use
You may browse our website, share links to our pages and save or print reasonable extracts for evaluating products, requesting quotations, purchasing from Office Stock or keeping your own purchase records. Keep copyright and ownership notices intact. This permission does not authorise publication of our content in another seller's listings, website, marketplace, advertisements or commercial catalogue. Uses permitted by applicable law remain permitted.
Copying and commercial reuse
Except where permitted by law or authorised in writing by the relevant rights holder, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell or adapt protected website content for commercial reuse. This includes copying product photographs or original descriptions into competing listings and removing ownership notices or watermarks from protected material for unauthorised reuse. Purchasing a product does not transfer intellectual property rights in the website content.
Automated collection and bulk extraction
We do not authorise scraping, crawling, automated downloads or systematic manual extraction to reproduce our catalogue, build competing listings, aggregate our content commercially, or collect our content for AI model training without prior written permission, except to the extent permitted by applicable law. Do not bypass access controls, evade technical restrictions or use automated tools in a way that disrupts the website.
Ordinary search engine indexing that links customers to our pages, accessibility tools, and product feeds or integrations authorised by Office Stock are permitted within their intended purpose and applicable access instructions. This permission does not extend to reproducing our catalogue on a competing store.
Permissions and reports
For permission requests or suspected misuse, email sales@officestock.co.za. Include the relevant Office Stock page, the proposed use or the suspected copying page, and supporting details. Permission for supplier-owned material must come from the relevant rights holder; we can only grant rights that we hold or are authorised to license.
Enforcement and legal rights
Where appropriate, we may request removal, submit substantiated complaints to hosting providers or platforms, restrict abusive access where technically available, or pursue remedies available under applicable law. This policy does not create copyright in unprotected information, override lawful exceptions or limit rights that cannot legally be excluded. South African law applies, subject to mandatory applicable law.
