Rights position
Who may hold the rights?
Rights may be held by TOMIO, the author, another rights holder or a combination depending on the work and agreement.
A TOMIO publication does not mean TOMIO automatically controls every right or every photograph, illustration, artwork or cover element.
No implied permission
Submitting an enquiry does not grant permission. Silence, payment or acknowledgement does not create an automatic licence.
Where permission is applicable, it must be expressly confirmed through the appropriate rights process.
