Hasslefree Miniatures respects the privacy of visitors and customers to our site and no information given by yourselves will knowingly be passed onto any third party.

Legal
IP stands for "intellectual property." It's intellectual (as opposed to tangible/physical) because it deals with concepts and creations of the mind that cant actually be touched. Because it can be bought,sold and transferred from one person to another it can be deemed 'property'. It means that when Kev sculpts a model we can sell the physical object (the miniature itself) to one person AND still retain the right to reproduce it (the copyright).
If we want to protect our IP we have to tell you that everything on this site belongs to us. If you are made aware of this then the stealing of our IP is called 'THEFT'. In case you think that stealing another persons ideas is 'harmless', IT ISN'T. It is actually very naughty and although wouldnt make much of a dent in the profits of the big guys, in a small company like ours it could permanently damage if not destroy us. We work very hard to keep this company going (you can yawn at this point if you wish!) and are very protective of our ideas and Kevs sculpts. Please respect this.
If you want to use our images on your site all you have to do is ask. Provided that they are not going to be used for anything that would be derogatory or damaging to our business then there isnt usually a problem. When the image is used we expect you to credit us as the manufacturer and (in the case of a painted figure) the painter. We work very hard to get all of the images in this site online and updated frequently and all images, pages and text in this site are
Copyright Hasslefree Miniatures 2005.
In case you decide to nick the codings then I have to inform you that they all belong to 'the webmaster' and I dont think he will be too happy!

Disclaimer
Okay........here we go.
Please remember that our figures are hobby items and (although referred to as toys) ARE NOT TOYS and as such they arent suitable for kiddiewinks. By all means get your son/daughter hooked early but please supervise them to make sure that none of the hazards listed below can occur.
Our 'toys' are generally made from a white metal alloy which may or may not contain lead. Therefore it is not advisable to chew/ swallow/ ingest our figures. Some of the terrain pieces are made from resin, please dont eat this either.
Although we pride ourselves on the quality of our castings, as is the nature of the hobby some may need a bit of assembling or trimming. If you cut yourself with a sharp blade whilst undertaking any form of adaption to our figures then it isnt our fault (butterfingers!!). Likewise if you manage to superglue yourself to the figure/ table/ activator can then that isnt our fault either. If you let us know then I am sure we will be sympathetic (depending on whether we have had a good day or not!!)
Our website shows images of naked female and male sculptures both bare metal and painted. If you are at all offended by nudity then please be careful when browsing.
