How To Link to Apologetics Index / Copyright Policy

Link to Apologetics Index

You are welcome to link to our home page -- or to any individual page or entry in Apologetics Index. (This is sometimes called ''deep linking.'')

You do not have to ask permission to link to us.

Copyright

While you are free to link to any page or individual entry within Apologetics Index, the look, "feel" and original content of Apologetics Index are © Copyright 1996-2011 (and following years) by Apologetics Index ™.

That means you may not copy and reproduce entire pages or entries verbatim (in any medium, including - but not limited to - discussion forums, Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, blogs and web pages) without express, written (on paper) permission.

You may also not frame any of AI's pages, as that would be a violation of the "fair use" principle embodied in international Copyright Laws.

We have this copyright policy for several reasons:

• To protect the integrity of the material presented
  Many of our entries are edited and updated from time to time to reflect new information, corrections and/or changed links. Having multiple older, potentially obsolete versions of our articles posted elsewhere defeats the purpose.
• To comply with copyright law
  Apologetics Index includes fair use quotations, as well as material for which we obtained permission for publication at this website. If you republish such material without permission from the original publishers you can be held liable for violating their copyrights.
• To protect our investment
  We go to great lengths to provide Apologetics Index as a service to all. We invest lots of time, energy as well as oodles of money (high-quality dedicated server, research material, computer equipment, etcetera). At times we have had to defend the site against legal challenges by various cults or other parties. This is 'our baby' and we don't want to see it 'kidnapped.'

Use in Bible Study Groups, Home Fellowships, Church Bulletins, et cetera

You may copy articles for use in church bulletins, Bible Study Groups, Home Fellowships, counseling situations, and so on, under the following conditions:

• Copies must be in non-electronic format
• Do not copy and print any articles which are marked with a copyright statement indicating that the copyright belongs to a third party and not to Apologetics Index. In such cases we have obtained special permission to post the material at our website only.
• You may not charge for any material copied from the Apologetics Index website
