Obtaining Permission

AromaWeb receives countless requests from companies and individuals that wish to use its text. AromaWeb is delighted that many wish to use the text.

Thank you for understanding that the text on AromaWeb is the result of countless hours of education, study, research, writing and Web development time as well as the associated costs in education and site maintenance. Unfortunately, many individuals and companies have stolen AromaWeb's written content and have tried to use it within their own sites to increase the sales of their products/services. Be advised that AromaWeb is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office and has other significant, verifiable means of proving content ownership. AromaWeb does not tolerate unauthorized use of its content and it has to be strict in who and how it grants permission.

Except for students who use AromaWeb's content fairly as outlined below, this page is for informational purposes only, and does not grant permission to use AromaWeb's text. You must receive written permission as outlined below.

Students:

If you are using very reasonable and limited amounts of text from AromaWeb as a part of a paper or project and properly quote/credit AromaWeb, by all means please feel free to go ahead and use AromaWeb like you would reasonably use any other source. If you are using content from AromaWeb for any other purpose or using a considerable amount of content, you must obtain express written permission. To request permission, contact AromaWeb.

Companies, Therapists, Educators, Etc.:

Permission to use small portions of content from AromaWeb for print use may be granted if you contact AromaWeb and specifically indicate exactly what content you wish to use by citing the Web page URL and quoting the exact text from that page that you want to use. You must also state exactly how you will use it, and including your Web site URL, your complete name, title, address and telephone number. If you wish for the text to appear on your Web site, you must provide the exact URL that you intend the text to appear on if the page exists. Your site must be accessible to me for me to be able to consider your request (i.e. if your site is new and in development, I must be granted rights to view it). If your request involves reprinting AromaWeb text in print form, AromaWeb needs to receive a clear idea of how many copies of your publication will be made and distributed, and the method of distribution. Permission will not be granted to anyone that does not specifically indicate what text they wish to use (merely indicating that you want to use AromaWeb's text on "hydrosols" is not sufficient). It's amazing how many people ask if they can use "some text from AromaWeb" as if they'll be given a blanket permission statement. Even if permission is granted, you will need to provide complete credit to AromaWeb. The owner may also require a copy of the publication/document that contains AromaWeb's text.

Due to the overwhelming number of vague permission requests that AromaWeb receives, incomplete permission requests will be ignored. Not receiving a reply from AromaWeb or failing to receive specific permission in writing from AromaWeb is NOT grounds for reprinting AromaWeb's works without permission.

For those that wish to use full pages or sections of text or for those that wish to use AromaWeb's text on their Web site, AromaWeb may grant you a license to use the text for a modest licensing fee. To inquire, please contact AromaWeb and indicate exactly what content you wish to use, exactly how you will use it, and your complete name, title, address and telephone number. If your request is for publication on a Web site, please be sure to include your Web site URL and the amount of traffic that your Web site receives.
