This page sets out who owns this app, what you may do with it, and the limits of what it can offer.

Copyright notice

The Autizma COP Guide app, including its text, code, design, illustrations, checklists, form guides, and underlying database, is owned by Tina Davies unless otherwise stated.

The app is protected by copyright law in the United Kingdom and by international treaties. The Autizma name, butterfly motif, and the app name are marks of Autizma.

Intellectual property summary

Under UK law, copyright arises automatically as soon as original work is recorded. You do not need to register it. This means the app’s written guides, checklists, form templates, code, layout, images, and the compiled app itself are protected from the moment they were created.

Protected material includes, but is not limited to: the step-by-step COP guides, the statement and bundle builders, the letter and email templates, the directory listings, the training-pack generator, the advocate workspace, the Autizma butterfly motif and brand colours, and the overall structure and user experience.

The names Autizma, Autizma, Autizma COP Guide, and the butterfly logo are trade marks or branding identifiers of Tina Davies and Autizma. They may not be used to market, promote, or name another product or service without written permission.
