It should be noted by third parties that the display of works or reproduction or purchase of books or any material containing in any way works or details of Tinga Tinga art not lisenced by the TACS constitutes inter alia an act of copyright infringement, possible criminal conduct and leaves the third party open to legal action including delivery up and destruction of the offending work, apologies to the same level as the offending publication and damages both direct and consequential. Consideration of persuit of legal action is always dependent on the nature of the infringement, the attempts by innocent third parties to have attempted to contact the TACS, bona fides, and the acts taken by them to rectify the infringement and make good the damage. As time passes it is clear the name and address of TACS and its web site is becoming more internationally known and the bona fides of innocent third parties becomes more difficult to establish.
