INTRODUCTION

Although long and detailed copyright and terms and conditions documents are necessary legally, they can often be difficult to navigate for those unfamiliar with them. Therefore, although the only official copyright and terms and conditions are provided in the sections entitled "COPYRIGHT" and "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" below, KoineGreek.com has also included, prior to these sections, a brief unofficial section entitled "COPYRIGHT IN LAYMAN'S TERMS (FAQ)", in which the main principles of copyright and licensing are outlined in an easy-to-understand manner. It should be noted, however, that only the "COPYRIGHT" and "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" sections are official and/or legally binding. The "COPYRIGHT IN LAYMAN'S TERMS (FAQ)" section serves more as an FAQ of sorts.

COPYRIGHT IN LAYMAN'S TERMS (FAQ)

Can I download the Koine Greek recordings of the New Testament, Septuagint (LXX), and other texts?

- Yes. However, any kind of downloading requires a paid patronage/membership. Downloading without a paid patronage/membership is not allowed.

Can I copy/distribute/share downloaded material from KoineGreek.com?

- No. Downloaded files are restricted to personal use of the paying patron/member.

I am a paid patron. Can I keep my downloaded material after I cancel my patronage/membership? How do I cancel my patronage/membership?

- Yes, even after you cancel your patronage/membership, you can keep any files you legally downloaded during your patronage/membership. To cancel your membership/patronage, go to the 'My Subscriptions' page in your προστάται account and click 'Cancel Subscription'.

Can I share streaming and/or blog content from KoineGreek.com?

- Yes. You can always share the link to the streaming version of the content and/or the blog posts.

Can I use downloaded content from KoineGreek.com for commercial purposes?

- No. Downloaded content from KoineGreek.com is for personal use only. For commercial use, please contact KoineGreek.com with specifics.

Can I use content from KoineGreek.com for educational purposes?

- Yes, as long as there is no commercial purpose and there is no copying/distribution/sharing of the downloaded files (i.e., you can play a KoineGreek.com recording for your class but you cannot send them a copy of the file), you can use content from KoineGreek.com.

Can I reuse/modify content from KoineGreek.com in new audio/video material I am making?

- Probably, but check with KoineGreek.com first. As long as it is for educational purposes, and appropriate credit is given, it is probably permissible. However, because not all possibilities can be envisioned, you need to check with KoineGreek.com via the contact form before reusing/modifying content.

Is all the content on KoineGreek.com protected?

- Not all the material on KoineGreek.com is copyrighted to KoineGreek.com. In many cases, KoineGreek.com has "dubbed" a pre-existing video with a Koine Greek narration. Such modification is consistent with the licensing of the original video and/or governed by a specific licensing agreement between KoineGreek.com and the original author of the video.

What material on KoineGreek.com is protected?

- It is primarily the audio recordings of the New Testament, LXX, and other texts for which these copyright and terms and conditions apply. In addition to the audio recordings, there are also a number of cartoons/films that are original to KoineGreek.com, such as the cartoons of the Colloquia of the Hermeneumata Pseudodositheana and the Martyrdom of Polycarp film.

Can I contact KoineGreek.com about licensing/copyright?

- Absolutely! For any questions not addressed here/below, please contact KoineGreek.com via the contact form on the home page.
