Terms of Use

Copyright

Because my content gets stolen regularly, I have a stringent privacy policy.

I retain all the copyrights for the material on this blog. I work hard to create these articles – I will not put up with stealing or scraping my content or photos.

Photos

You may use one photo as long as it’s linked prominently back to my site, and I am given the proper attribution. If you do not attribute my photos to The Homesteading Hippy http://thehomesteadinghippy.com, you will be in violation of this privacy policy.

Please also include a link to my homepage if possible.

Be advised that this policy extends to images I create for Pinterest. If you use or repin my image on Pinterest then remove the link to my website and replace it with your own, you are in violation of my privacy policy as well as Pinterest’s because you are stealing copyrighted images.

After I notify you that you have stolen my images, you have 24 hours to either remove my image from your board or replace your link with mine. If you do not do either of these, I will forward whatever information you have provided to WHOIS to my attorneys and invoice you for reprinting my copyrighted material. I will also file a complaint with Pinterest to have the image removed, as well as ask Pinterest to remove you as a user for repeat offenses.

BE ADVISED THAT IF YOU WASTE MY TIME AND MAKE ME FILE A COMPLAINT WITH PINTEREST AND MY LAWYERS I WILL INVOICE YOU FOR MY TIME AND FOR WHATEVER ATTORNEY FEES I ACCRUE CHASING YOU DOWN. CONDUCT YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.

Content

You may not reprint our recipes at all or our articles in their entirety.

You may use 10% of our original content, and you MUST (repeat MUST) link back to our site PROMINENTLY. This does not mean a small author link at the beginning or end of the article, it must be obvious.

If you wish to republish my articles for any use, please contact us and we can take it from there.

Summarizing my articles in your own words and then prominently linking back to my site for attribution is fine.

If you reprint my articles or recipes or use any photos outside of the permission I grant above, you will receive an invoice for reprinting my materials at my normal rate, which I reserve the right to determine.

If I contact you regarding a copyright infringement, I expect a response within 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in a DMCA complaint and I will forward whatever information you have provided to WHOSIS to my attorney.

I take copyright infringement seriously.
