1.0 In this agreement, we refer to the Charlotte Mason Digital Collection (CMDC) as the “Collection”, this agreement as the “License”, any image from the Collection as the “Image” or “Images”, and Redeemer University College as “RUC”.

2.1 Non-Profit Use. If you use Images from the Collection for non-profit purposes, as RUC may determine in its absolute discretion, then, upon approval of your application, RUC grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual, revocable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to use the Image on the condition that your use of the Image shall be prominently accompanied by the following credit line: Image used under license from the Charlotte Mason Digital Collection, Redeemer University College, Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. However, you are not permitted to use Image without the prior consent of RUC, even for a non-profit purpose, if you are making multiple copies of an Image or using the Image of an entire journal.

2.2 Commercial Use. If you are using the Image for commercial purposes, then you may only use the Image from the Collection after you have received a license from RUC. Upon payment of the applicable fees, RUC grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual, revocable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to use the Image on the condition that your use of the Image shall be prominently accompanied by the following credit line: Image used under license from the Charlotte Mason Digital Collection, Redeemer University College, Ancaster, Ontario, Canada.

Fees for Commercial Use. All commercial use of an Image from the Collection shall be subject to fees, regardless of the format in which the Image is used. The fees are subject to change without notice. The fees are payable prior to receipt of any Image. The fees payable, not including the processing fees and taxes, for the one-time use of an Image are: CDN$1.00 for every use from 1 to 10; CDN$0.75 for every use from 11-100; CDN$0.50 for every use from 101-500; CDN$0.25 for every use from 501-999; and CDN$0.15 for every use from 1000.

 

3. GENERAL LICENSE TERMS: One Time Use. The License grants you a license to use the Image one time. All Rights Reserved. All rights not granted to you by way of License are reserved by RUC. Any further use of an Image from the Collection, such as subsequent editions, paperback editions, foreign language editions, etc., requires a separate license.

Complimentary Copy: One complimentary copy of each publication or production in which the Image appears must be sent to the Collection at RUC. Prohibitions on Use. You are not permitted to use the Image in any manner for which this License was not granted.

For example, you are not permitted to use the image in an advertisement, unless the Collection has granted you such a license prior to your use. No License to Create Separate Collection, etc. You shall not use or access the Collection under any circumstance for the purpose of creating a collection of the Images similar to or the same as the Collection or for the purpose of permitting the public to access and use the Images for their own purposes. No Rights Granted until Payment Received.

Although RUC may permit you to download an Image, no rights will be granted to you until you have paid for use of such Image and agreed to license such Image in accordance with this License. Any use of any Image contrary to the terms of this License will be deemed unauthorized use.

4. PROCESSING FEE AND TAXES Each Image requested in JPG format, whether for commercial or non-profit use, is subject to processing fees, payable in advance of delivery of the Image, as follows (subject to change without notice): 1 to 9 Images - CDN$10.00 per image. 10 or more Images requested in a single batch - CDN$5.00 per image.
