Copyright, reprints and distribution of Ivy Sea Online content

It's easy to make sure you're on the right side of the copyright law. According to the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), the copyright owner shall be awarded damages of not less than $500 for each work (that means each distinct page on Ivy Sea Online) infringed, up to $100,000 for willful infringement and may be awarded its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Yes, that's expensive and bothersome. Fortunately, honoring copyright is easy to do.

Here's the scoop on what, when and how you can reprint and redistribute from Ivy Sea Online:

Limited Personal Use: You may print out one or several Ivy Sea Online articles and tipsheets for your personal use or to share with a small group in a noncommerce-oriented setting, and you may peruse the site for your own professional/personal development and take notes to your heart's content.

We're also happy to accommodate most requests for occasional single-use reprints of an Ivy Sea Online article in your employee or nonprofit newsletter, providing that you let us know what you're using and how (this helps us stay aware of what articles and tips are helpful, which guides our editorial calendar). For limited nonprofit reproduction and reprint queries, simply send us an email to let us know what you're using and how, and please include the following credit to the source on the materials reprinted or distributed: "Source: "Copyright 2002-2003. Ivy Sea Online, Ivy Sea, Inc. San Francisco, CA, www.ivysea.com. Reprinted with permission."

For multiple reprints and use of our content in commercial enterprises and endeavors, or use consistently over an extended period, our Content Archive and PDF Library is a more appropriate and copyright honoring option.

Broader or commercial reprint and redistribution: For broader downloading, reprinting, distribution, commercial use for which you obtain fees or subscriptions, or inclusion on corporate intranets or as a training resource in for-profit organizations (or generously budgeted nonprofits), copyright requires you to obtain permission and pay fair-market fees to Ivy Sea for such use of Ivy Sea Online content.

In response to many requests to use our content in organizational communication and training programs, we've created our budget-friendly content-subscription and PDF "tip kit" Library. Send us an email to information about the content-subscription and PDF Library options.
