What's owned by us

Unless stated otherwise, the following are the property of Hoagland Software Solutions LLC and protected by U.S. copyright and trademark law:

  • All site copy — service pages, case studies, blog posts, the website cost estimator’s logic and prose.
  • The site’s visual design, layout, illustrations, and CSS.
  • The underlying source code we wrote (excluding open-source dependencies — see below).
  • Screenshots and photography of our own work shown across /websites, /software, and /products.
  • The Hoagland wordmark, logo, and brand identity (shield mark, color system, typography pairings).

What isn't owned by us

Several categories of material shown on the site belong to others:

  • Client trademarks and brands shown in case studies (logos, wordmarks, banner images) belong to those clients and are used either with permission or as fair-use commentary on completed work.
  • Open-source dependencies — Next.js, React, Tailwind, Radix UI, Lucide React, and others. Each is licensed by its respective authors under its own license (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc.).
  • Third-party photography, where applicable, is licensed under the rights granted by its respective provider.

Permitted uses

You don’t need to ask for permission to:

  • Quote short excerpts of our writing with attribution and a link back to the original page (standard fair use).
  • Share URLs from this site on social media, in newsletters, or in conversations.
  • Link to any page on the site, including case studies and blog posts.
  • Cite case studies as part of due diligence if you’re considering hiring us. If you want references, just ask.

Prohibited uses

Without our prior written permission, you may not:

  • Republish or redistribute the site’s prose, design, or code in whole or in substantial part.
  • Clone the site’s visual design, structure, or front-end code for your own commercial use.
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or attribution notices.
  • Scrape or harvest any content from this site for the purpose of training machine-learning models, large language models, or any AI system. This explicit prohibition applies regardless of whether the scraping is performed by a bot, a person, or a service. Licensing inquiries for AI training data are welcome — email us.

DMCA takedown procedure

If you believe material on this site infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). For your notice to be valid, it must include all of the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (with enough detail for us to locate it — a URL, title, or registration number is ideal).
  2. Identification of the material on this site that you claim is infringing, with the specific URL where it appears.
  3. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices may not be actionable. We aim to review valid notices within five business days.

Counter-notification

If material you posted has been removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A valid counter-notification must include:

  1. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL at which it appeared before removal.
  2. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for Hamilton County, Tennessee, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we maintain a policy of terminating access for users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
