The following guidelines apply to articles, materials, and pages on the www.gospelway.com and www.biblestudylessons.com web sites. All such materials are copyrighted, not to hinder their proper use, but to prevent improper use. Our guidelines are as follows:
Permission is expressly granted to use copyrighted materials from this site according to the following guidelines:
(1) Individuals are permitted to download articles to their own computer, save them, and/or print them out for their own personal study.
(2) Except for our "Book, Chapter, and Verse" Bible Study Comments, local churches and individual Bible teachers are permitted from time to time to distribute to other people any single article on our sites, either by email or by making printed copies ("hard copy"), provided the article is reprinted verbatim in total without changing the content or teaching in any way, and provided the name of the author and source are clearly shown (including the URL address of the web site), and provided the use is entirely non-commercial - i.e., there is no financial charge of any kind for the material. (Please write for permission before distributing more than one article per week.)
(3) Study notes in our "Book, Chapter, and Verse" online Bible study comments may be downloaded by individuals and saved to their computer and/or printed out for personal study. Brief excerpts may be quoted for the benefit of others. But long sections (such as a chapter or more) must not be copied or reproduced for distribution to others (other individuals may download their own copy from our web site). In no case may these commentaries be reproduced in any form for sale or a financial fee.
Other web sites are permitted to publish links to our web sites or to any specific page or pages on our sites. In fact, we encourage and appreciate such links. However, due to past abuses and other reasons, we must expressly deny permission for our materials to be copied or reproduced on other web sites, except for those articles that include in them a statement specifically granting permission to reproduce (these are found at www.gospelway.com/topics.php). If you wish to reproduce an article, look for the copyright statement at the end of the article. Permission to reproduce on another web site is forbidden unless the article itself expressly states that permission is granted.
We are generally reluctant to make exceptions to these guidelines; however, you may contact us to inquire about specific cases.
