Things for which you do not need our permission
Generally, text Content from the Site may be printed on paper using your browser’s “Print” functionality for your own personal, non-commercial use only. Please note that “personal use” does not include sharing Content other than as permitted by these Permissions guidelines. Images on the Site may not be copied, downloaded or otherwise used without express permission.
Whenever possible, we ask that you use the electronic sharing functions provided by the Site rather than sharing paper copies, as this gives the recipient the opportunity to explore the Site more deeply. (See “Sharing electronic copies” below).
Students studying A Course in Miracles may make paper copies (photocopies or print-outs) of the content of the site for personal sharing or one-time distribution, free of charge, in class groups, at public events and talks, fairs, meetings, conferences, summits, and the like.
You must ensure that the Site’s copyright and other notices and the URL “ACIM.org” are legible on the copies. Please note that the above permission does not permit you to incorporate or post Content from the Site into another publication, website, etc., without express permission (see Linking to the Site below).
Sharing electronic copies of content
You may share electronic copies of Site Content only through email links. This means you do not actually send a copy of the Content, but instead you send a link to the Content so that the email recipient may access the Content by using the emailed link. You do not need permission to use this “email-a-link” functionality; however, you may not email the Content itself.
Linking to the site
ACIM.org invites you to place a link to the ACIM.org’s homepage on your website. You may also link to specific pages on ACIM.org, but please note that Site Content is subject to change from time to time, which may result in broken links.
Other than as described above, if you would like to repost, reprint or otherwise reuse any Site Content, please see Permission Requests below.
A note to bloggers
ACIM.org appreciates the growing blogging community and wants to be part of the conversation. If possible, we ask that as a blogger you please provide a link to our Site, rather than reproducing Site Content on your blog.
