Image policy — credits and usage on LadeGuide
In short
LadeGuide uses original graphics (logo, icon, open-graph image, EU-AI labels) and selected press photos. All third-party images — currently a single press photo — carry a clearly named source attribution in their immediate context, linking to the original manufacturer or press office. Reuse without attribution is not permitted; see Contact at the end of this page.
1. Original graphics
The LadeGuide logo, the icon (favicon / OG / future PWA), the open-graph image, and the EU-AI badges “AI-generated content” and “AI-edited content” are owned by Matzner GmbH and used exclusively for LadeGuide. Third-party use is not permitted without written authorization. The copyright notice in the footer of every page (“© 2026 Matzner GmbH · All trademarks are the property of their respective owners”) applies here.

2. Third-party images and press photos
LadeGuide uses third-party images and press photos only on the basis of an authorized use, typically manufacturer press photos for current topics (vehicles, news from the charging infrastructure). Each use of a third-party image satisfies three conditions:
-
Clear source attribution next to the image — in the
<figcaption>of each<figure>, linking to the manufacturer or press office. - Purpose-bound: the image is used in the context of the LadeGuide article for which it was released. Repurposing (e.g., on a third party’s own pages) requires the copyright holder’s authorization.
- Editorial timeliness: third-party images are used only in news articles. Once an article is no longer current, the image is either retired or replaced.
