Terms of Use & Copyright

Introduction

The legal notice below explains what you have to agree to before you use the website and what you can and cannot do with its contents. It is written in the sort of verbal spaghetti that lawyers love. Translated into language that ordinary human beings can understand, it means:

The poems, text and design which make up the pages of the website are either owned the author or have been used with the owner's permission.
You may not steal things from this site to use on another website, nor publish them elsewhere, nor pretend that you wrote/designed them yourself.
You may print out individual poems or sections of the website provided that they are for your personal use. You may not make further copies of them.
You may ask to borrow a poem to use on a website, in a magazine, for a school project or whatever. You must not use a poem before you have received permission.
If something goes wrong with the website, or the information on it is incorrect or misleading, the author might say sorry but he won't pay you any money.
The author thinks that the contents of the website will not offend, embarrass or upset children. If you follow a link from this website, the author cannot be held responsible for what you may find on the website it links to.
