Our knowledge is our work. Please respect it.

Ownership

Unless stated otherwise, all content on this website is owned by Mawkish Technologies (Private) Limited ("Mawkish", "we", "us") or used by us under licence.

Publishing content openly on the internet does not place it in the public domain. Being able to view, copy or download something does not give anyone the right to reuse it.

This includes the website's design, interface, user experience, menu structure, and the way its content is organised and presented, all of which belong to us. See Design, interface and experience.

How Sri Lankan law protects our work

Copyright in Sri Lanka is governed by the Intellectual Property Act, No. 36 of 2003. These are the parts that matter most for content like ours.

Protection outside Sri Lanka

Copyright doesn't stop at the border. Through international treaties, our content is protected in more than 180 countries, under each country's own law and without any registration.

Using an AI tool doesn't change any of this. If published material substantially reproduces our work, whoever publishes it is responsible.

What is protected

Our copyright covers the whole website and each part of it, including:

• Written content: service pages, technical guides, explanations, FAQs, insights and articles, including their structure, selection and arrangement.
• Case studies: the narratives, analysis and presentation of our client work.
• Visual work: diagrams, architecture drawings, illustrated product screens, icons, layouts and animations created by us.
• Interactive tools: assessments, catalogues, calculators, selectors and their logic.
• Methods as we describe them: our delivery approaches, frameworks, checklists and templates as written and presented on this site.
• Code and design: the website's source code, styling and overall look and feel.
• Design, interface and experience: the visual design, user interface, user experience, menu and navigation structure, and the way content is structured and presented. See Design, interface and experience.

Design, interface and experience

The way this website looks, works and is organised is original work created by Mawkish Technologies, and it belongs to us. That protection is separate from the protection of the words on the page, and it covers the following.

All of this, taken individually and as a whole, is our copyright work and our property, and it is protected as an original compilation and design under the Intellectual Property Act, No. 36 of 2003, and under the international treaties described above. It also falls under the law against passing off and unfair competition, so copying the overall impression of the site can be unlawful even where no text or image is copied word for word.

Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, we, and not any client, partner, contractor or visitor, own the design, interface, experience, structure and presentation of this website. Nobody may claim any right in them.

What you may do

We want people to learn from our content and talk about it. Without asking us, you may:

• View and read pages for your own information, or for your organisation's internal evaluation of our services.
• Share links to any page by email, messaging or social media.
• Print or save a single copy of a page for your own reference, keeping this copyright notice on it.
• Quote a short extract, a sentence or two, for commentary, review, news reporting or teaching. You must credit Mawkish Technologies and link to the original page. This is consistent with fair use under Sri Lankan law.
• Learn from our content and write about the same topics in your own words. Facts and ideas are free for everyone. Our wording, structure and visuals are not.

What you may not do

Unless you have our prior written permission, you may not:

• Copy, reproduce or republish our content, in full or in substantial part, on any website, document, proposal, presentation, course or social media post.
• Rewrite, paraphrase, translate or adapt our content, yourself or with an AI tool, so closely that it is still recognisably our work, and present it as your own.
• Use our diagrams, illustrations or screens in your own sales material, tenders or training.
• Frame our pages, or embed them inside another site, so they appear to be someone else's.
• Remove or alter any copyright notice, attribution or watermark.
• Sell, license or otherwise commercialise any of our content.
• Copy, clone or imitate the look, interface or user experience of this website, or of any page or section of it, in another website, app, template, theme or design file, whether by hand, by automated tools or with AI.
• Reproduce or closely imitate the structure of our menus and navigation, or the way we organise and present our services, industries and content.
• Use screenshots, screen recordings or exports of our pages, or of the website's code, stylesheets or design, as a basis for building another site or product, or to train a tool whose purpose is to reproduce our design.
• Present a website, proposal or product that copies our design, structure or presentation as your own, or in a way that could make people think it comes from, or is connected with, Mawkish.

AI and automated access

We want our knowledge to be useful, including through search engines and AI tools. Our rule is simple: learning from our content is fine, passing it off is not.

You may:

• index our pages for search engines and AI assistants;
• use our content to train or improve AI and machine learning models;
• use AI tools to read, summarise or answer questions about our pages for your own understanding.

You may not:

• publish AI-generated output that reproduces, or closely imitates, substantial parts of our content, such as its wording, structure, diagrams or illustrations, as your own;
• use AI to rewrite our guides, case studies or methods and present the result as original work, without crediting Mawkish;
• scrape the site in a way that overloads it, gets around access controls, or copies our gated content.

Who publishes the content is responsible for it. Using an AI tool does not make copying lawful: if published material substantially reproduces our work, it infringes our copyright however it was produced.

Case studies and gated content

Some content, such as our client case studies, is available only after you register. It is provided to you personally, for your evaluation of our services. You may not share it, forward it, publish it, or use it to approach our clients or to compete with us.

Client names and logos appear with their consent or as a fair reference to work we have delivered. They remain the property of their owners.

Trademarks and third-party material

"Mawkish" and the Mawkish logo are trademarks of Mawkish Technologies. You may not use them in a way that suggests we endorse you or are connected with you.

SAP, SAP S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, GROW with SAP, SAP Business Technology Platform, Joule and other SAP products are trademarks or registered trademarks of SAP SE in Germany and other countries. Salesforce and its product names are trademarks of Salesforce, Inc. Other product names and client logos belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify products and clients, and our copyright does not extend to them.

Enforcement and governing law

We keep dated records of our content and monitor the web for copies of it. Where we find infringement, we may, without further notice:

• ask the person or organisation to remove the content and confirm in writing;
• file takedown notices with hosting providers, platforms and search engines;
• seek an injunction, damages and costs through the courts.

This notice and any dispute about the use of this website are governed by the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. The courts of Colombo have jurisdiction, without limiting our right to act in the country where an infringement takes place.

We may update this notice from time to time. The version on this page is the one that applies.
