9. Intellectual Property
All content on the Furnostyles Platform — including but not limited to logos, designs, text, photography, software, and data — is the property of Furnostyles or its content suppliers and is protected by Kenyan and international intellectual property laws.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any Platform content without prior written permission from Furnostyles. Vendors retain ownership of their own listing content but grant Furnostyles a non-exclusive licence to display, promote, and distribute that content through the Platform.
