SOL SOLO is presented on this website as a practice by CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio. Depending on the material in question, rights may sit with Carlos Simpson, CARLOS SIMPSON™, Carlos Simpson Design Studio, SOL SOLO, or another clearly identified rights holder where expressly stated. Nothing on this website should be read as granting permission to reproduce, republish, adapt, commercialise, train AI systems on, or otherwise exploit protected material unless that permission is expressly stated or granted in writing.

What this page does

It clarifies ownership, permissions, image licensing, citation expectations, AI restrictions and the route for requesting rights clearance for selected Sol Solo content.

What it may be used for

This page may also operate as the public usage information and acquire-licence reference page for selected Sol Solo images, artworks, page visuals and other original materials where metadata or structured data points here.

What it does not do

It does not automatically grant a licence, nor does it mean every item on the website is freely reusable or commercially licensable. Separate written permission may still be required.

Interpretation principle

This policy is intended to clarify rights and permissions for public-facing website content. It does not automatically override a separate written licence, publishing agreement, commissioned-use agreement or other contract that may apply to a specific work, collaboration or project.

Where such materials appear, rights may remain with Carlos Simpson, CARLOS SIMPSON™, Carlos Simpson Design Studio, SOL SOLO, the relevant named project, a commissioner, collaborator, publisher or another rights holder as stated or implied by context.

Important boundary

The presence of those references on this website does not grant permission to reproduce, republish, adapt or commercially exploit them without prior written approval from the relevant rights holder.

4. What may appear on this website

Original Sol Solo material

  • essays, notes, reflections and authored written work;
  • original artwork, page imagery, visual compositions and graphic treatments;
  • music-related or project-related visual material where rights are held or controlled;
  • archive or concept material authored by Carlos Simpson or prepared for Sol Solo;
  • page-level design, layout and original digital presentation content.

Contextual, historical or referenced material

Some pages may also refer to external works, public references, embedded media, quotations, documentation images, historical artefacts, collaborative material or third-party references for contextual, editorial, archival or documentary purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the appearance of such material on the website should not be taken as a statement that Sol Solo owns all rights in it.

5. Image licensing and rights requests

Some Sol Solo images or visual assets may be available for editorial reference only. Others may be licensable, reusable by permission, or subject to restricted use depending on the material.

Permission should usually be requested if you want to

  • reuse a Sol Solo image, artwork, visual, graphic or page composition in a publication, presentation, exhibition, campaign, product or article;
  • reproduce Sol Solo content in a book, magazine, course, workshop, academic publication, research output, digital product or public-facing presentation;
  • use a Sol Solo image or creative asset in commercial, promotional, brand, editorial or organisational materials;
  • adapt, redraw, edit, animate or transform a Sol Solo visual or original creative work;
  • include Sol Solo content in training materials, datasets, AI workflows, automated extraction systems or derivative machine-generated outputs.

How licensing references may work

For selected images or creative works, this page may function as the public licensing and usage reference page linked from metadata, structured data or rights notices.

  • this page may act as the usage information page for the relevant work;
  • this page may also operate as the public page explaining how rights or permissions can be requested;
  • a separate written licence or permission may still be required before any substantive reuse is authorised.
Metadata and Google Images note: where a selected image, artwork or creative asset on this website is marked up with licensing or usage metadata, this page may operate as the public reference page for usage information and for the route by which rights or permissions can be requested. It should not be interpreted as blanket permission for unrestricted reuse.

6. Usage information, citation and attribution expectations

This page may function as the public usage-information reference for selected Sol Solo works, including images, page visuals, creative artefacts and other original materials where relevant metadata or structured data points here as the applicable rights reference.

This page may provide additional information about

  • whether the material is available only for viewing or reference;
  • whether attribution is expected if a lawful quotation or reference is made;
  • whether permission is required for republication, reproduction, adaptation, teaching use, exhibition use or commercial use;
  • how to request rights clearance or a licence where licensing is available;
  • restrictions relating to AI ingestion, automated extraction, training or derivative generation.

Citation and attribution

If you are lawfully quoting from a public Sol Solo page, citing an essay, or referencing a Sol Solo work in commentary, scholarship, journalism or criticism, attribution should be accurate and proportionate.

Attribution should normally identify SOL SOLO and, where relevant, Carlos Simpson or another named rights holder if clearly indicated on the material. Citation does not equal permission to reproduce the work itself beyond what is lawfully permitted.

7. AI use policy

Unless expressly authorised in writing, original Sol Solo content may not be used for AI model training, machine-learning training, dataset creation, fine-tuning, automated extraction or synthetic derivative generation.

Prohibited without written permission

  • AI model training or machine-learning training on original Sol Solo content;
  • dataset creation or large-scale extraction of Sol Solo text, visuals, artworks or page assets;
  • embedding protected Sol Solo material into synthetic-content pipelines or derivative AI products;
  • automated scraping for model ingestion or content reproduction;
  • derivative AI image generation based on protected Sol Solo works where such use would reproduce, imitate or exploit original protected content.

Important distinction

Normal indexing by search engines for discovery and display of search results is not the same as permission for AI training, dataset harvesting, synthetic derivative generation or commercial content extraction.

This restriction applies to original Sol Solo text, images, artworks, graphics, diagrams, page visuals, music-related creative assets and other protected materials published on this website where rights are held or controlled.

9. Frequently asked questions

Can I quote a short passage from a Sol Solo page in an article or essay?

Usually, a brief and lawful quotation for criticism, review, scholarship or commentary may be acceptable if it is proportionate and properly attributed. That does not automatically permit republication of substantial extracts or full works.

Can I use a Sol Solo image or visual in a presentation, workshop or course?

Not by default. If the image, artwork, page visual or graphic is original Sol Solo content, permission will usually be required before it is reproduced, distributed, adapted or incorporated into training, workshop or course materials.

Does public access to a Sol Solo page mean the content is free to reuse?

No. Public access is not the same thing as a licence. Rights in public-facing content may still be fully reserved, limited, or subject to separate written permission requirements.

Does this page mean all Sol Solo content is commercially licensable?

No. This page explains the rights framework and the permissions route. It does not mean every item on the site is automatically licensable, nor that a licence has already been granted.

Can Sol Solo content be used to train AI systems or create datasets?

Not without prior written permission where rights are held or controlled. This includes training, fine-tuning, dataset creation, automated extraction and derivative synthetic reuse of original Sol Solo content.
