- Info for Churches and Other Groups -

Due to the high volume of requests from churches and other organizations, the procedure for gaining permission for use of materials from The Brick Testament for off-line, noncommercial, nonprofit purposes has been streamlined:

1. Send an e-mail to thebricktestament@gmail.com that includes your name, the name and location (city and country) of your church or other organization, and a brief description of your intended use of Brick Testament materials. Although Rev. Smith will read this e-mail and keep it in his files, you will not receive a reply.

2. Once your e-mail has been sent, you may assume you have Rev. Smith's permission and proceed to use Brick Testament materials for your stated purpose so long as your usage continues to be off-line, noncommercial, and nonprofit. Below is a further explanation of those terms:

Off-line You do not have permission to put materials from The Brick Testament on the internet. For example, do not put images from the Brick Testament on your own website, ftp site, blog, myspace page, youtube video, etc.
Noncommercial and nonprofit You do not have permission to use materials from The Brick Testament for any venture or organization that could in any way be construed as having profited from the use of those materials. For example, you may not include images from The Brick Testament in any product that is sold, nor as part of any performance that charges an admission fee, nor within an advertisement any such product, performance, or pay service of any kind.

3. The final requirement is that whenever you use materials from The Brick Testament, you identify them to the audience as such and make no attempt to misrepresent their origin, take credit for them yourself, or claim any copyright over them or any derivative creation. Whenever possible, it is asked that you include the following courtesy credit slide along with your presentation:

While there is no fee required for the use of materials from The Brick Testament that fall within the above guidelines, you can help support this inspired, one-man project (and get something awesome in return) through purchases of Brick Testament books and custom sets.

If you make extensive use of material from The Brick Testament, a direct monetary donation can also be made (via Paypal.com to thereverend@thereverend.com).

If you need to contact Rev. Smith directly with questions about permissions that have not been covered on this page, he can be reached at thereverend@thereverend.com.
