​
All original content published on Collective Edit, including written articles, original photography, design and commissioned contributions, is protected by copyright and remains the intellectual property of Collective Edit or its respective contributors unless otherwise stated. Reproduction or redistribution of this material without prior written permission is not permitted.
Collective Edit values creativity, artistic labour and intellectual work. We are committed to respecting authorship, originality and creative integrity across all content published on the site.
​
Use of Third Party Material
​
Collective Edit is an editorial magazine focused on culture, fashion, politics, lifestyle, beauty and criticism. Where relevant, we may reference or include limited third party material such as images, excerpts, film stills, or visual media for the purposes of criticism, review, commentary, or analysis.
​
Third party material is used selectively, in good faith and only where it is necessary to support the editorial context of an article. We do not reproduce third party content for purely decorative, promotional, or illustrative purposes without permission or licence.
Where applicable, such use is intended to align with recognised copyright exceptions, including fair dealing under United Kingdom and European Union law, and fair use under United States law, taking into account purpose, proportionality and context.
​
Attribution and Artistic Integrity
​
We aim to credit creators, artists, publishers and rights holders clearly and accurately wherever possible. The inclusion of third party material does not imply ownership, endorsement, or affiliation unless explicitly stated.
Collective Edit is committed to acting responsibly and respectfully in relation to creative work. We recognise that artistic output carries meaning, labour and value, and we seek to engage with it thoughtfully rather than extractively.
​
Commercial Context
​
Collective Edit is a for profit publication and may feature advertising, partnerships, or paid content. Editorial content remains distinct from advertising and sponsorships, and third party material is not reproduced as a substitute for the original work or in a way that undermines its commercial value.
