Copyright & IP

Last updated on 7 November, 2026

Mandos is operated by Nexus Technology Solutions Limited. We are glad to see more people getting excited about nightlife in Hong Kong, and we are always happy to work with venues, promoters, creators and other platforms. We also put real work into what we make, so this page sets out what belongs to us and how we deal with copying.

1. WHAT IS OURS

Unless a page says otherwise, the following belong to Nexus Technology Solutions Limited or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws in Hong Kong and elsewhere:

  • The Mandos name, logo and the disco-ball map pin.
  • Our Botie characters, including Buzz, the editor of Mandos News, and all their artwork, poses and animations.
  • Mandos News articles, guides, photographs and videos we create or commission.
  • The design, layout, text and software of the Mandos website and apps.
  • Our venue and event listings as a collection, including how we select, arrange and describe them.

Venue names, logos and event artwork belong to their owners. We show them with permission or to describe their venues and events.

2. WHAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO

  • Share links to any Mandos page.
  • Quote a short extract from Mandos News with credit to Mandos News and a link to the original.
  • Share our posts using the share buttons in the app and on social platforms.

3. WHAT NEEDS OUR WRITTEN PERMISSION

  • Copying or republishing our articles, guides, photographs or listings, in full or in substantial part.
  • Using Buzz, any Botie or our logo, or anything confusingly similar, in your own product, marketing or social accounts.
  • Copying the look, structure or wording of our website or apps.
  • Scraping or bulk downloading our content, or using it to train or build AI models or datasets.

If you would like to do any of these, ask us first. We often say yes.

4. IF WE FIND OUR WORK USED WITHOUT PERMISSION

We will usually start with a friendly message asking for the material to be credited or removed. If that does not resolve it, we may ask the hosting provider, app store or social platform to take the material down, and we reserve all our other rights and remedies under the law.

5. IF YOU THINK WE HAVE USED YOUR WORK

We hold ourselves to the same standard. Email us with a link to the material, what you own, and how to reach you. We will review it promptly and remove or credit it where that is the right thing to do.
