CAPIS Copyright Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

This policy explains the conditions for using and reproducing content published on capis.ir, the website of CAPIS, the Research Center for Advanced Technologies in the Polymer Industry.

1. Content ownership

Unless otherwise stated, CAPIS reserves the rights to text, images, graphic designs, videos, reports and other content it creates.

Content belonging to authors, publishers, collaborators and other third parties remains the property of its respective rights holders. Publication on the CAPIS website does not transfer ownership or grant permission to reuse that content.

2. Permitted use

Reading, sharing links to pages and quoting short extracts from CAPIS text for educational, research and informational purposes are permitted, provided that:

CAPIS and the title of the material are clearly acknowledged
Online publications include a direct link to the original page
Quotations preserve the original meaning and context
The use does not imply CAPIS endorsement or support of any person, product or organisation

This permission does not cover third-party content or material subject to separate terms. Uses permitted by law remain subject to applicable legislation.

3. Uses requiring permission

Reproducing all or a substantial part of a publication, translating and publishing it, commercial use, and reusing images, charts, videos, training materials or reports require written permission from the relevant rights holder, except where expressly licensed or permitted by law.

Attribution alone does not replace the need for permission in these cases.

4. CAPIS name and logo

Using the CAPIS name, logo or visual identity in advertising, product promotion, certificates or any context suggesting an official relationship, endorsement or sponsorship requires written permission.

Accurate textual references to CAPIS for source attribution or news reporting, without implying such a relationship, are not subject to this restriction.

5. Partner content and external sources

To reuse material credited to another source or rights holder, you must follow that source’s terms and obtain permission directly where necessary. CAPIS can grant permission only for rights it is authorised to license.

6. Project documents and results

Publishing a project description or summary of results on the website does not grant a licence to use related know-how, formulations, drawings, data, inventions or other intellectual property.

Ownership and use of jointly developed project outcomes are governed by the relevant contracts and agreements.

7. Permission requests

To request permission to use CAPIS content, submit the material’s title and link, the portion you wish to use, your intended purpose, publication location and any proposed modifications through the website’s Contact page.

Permission is valid only when confirmed in writing. A lack of response does not constitute approval.

8. Reporting copyright concerns

If you believe material has been published on this website without your authorisation, please provide the page link, details of the work, an explanation of your ownership or authority to represent the rights holder, and your contact information. CAPIS will review the matter and, where substantiated, take steps to correct attribution, restrict access or remove the content.

9. Policy updates

Changes to this policy will be published on this page, with the latest revision date shown at the top.
