Teach Your Children Well
Academic, Non-Profit and Home Use Film License Agreement
In an effort to avoid using cumbersome legal language, the various options for licensing the documentary film, Teach Your Children Well, are presented here as simply as possible in plain English. By purchasing any of the usage licenses listed below and obtaining a DVD copy of the film, you agree to abide by the specific uses allowed under that section of this license. Bear in mind, when you purchase a usage license it allows you to view the film according to the specific license, but it does not convey any ownership rights to you.
With that in mind, we request that you honor and uphold the spirit of this agreement when purchasing a license. We all know there may be some folks who would opt for a “home use” copy of the film while intending to use it in an institutional setting, and/or to make unauthorized copies of the film. While it may be tempting to avoid the additional cost of an appropriate license or licenses, those actions do in fact violate the film’s copyright and the spirit of this agreement. It also creates bad karma for the violator, and if discovered may initiate a series of actions to rectify the situation. (Enough said.)
Home Use
The Home Use license is intended for just that purpose – your personal use at home on a TV or your personal computer. It is perfectly fine to have a few friends over to watch the film with you. But with this license a larger group is not permissible. You may not show it in any group setting outside the home, for example: no classrooms, support groups or other type of meetings. You may not advertise, charge admission, or use the film to solicit donations. Making copies of the film is not permissible.
K-12 Schools, Community/Support Groups, Churches, Public Libraries
This license allows for unlimited screenings at one location, and is intended for elementary or secondary classrooms, community/support group meetings, churches or other educational settings. This is also the right choice for public libraries, where a copy of the film will be lent to individuals, for private viewing only. An individual library borrower must abide by the usage rights specified in the Home Use license. No entrance fee or suggested donation may be charged for screenings under this license. This license does not permit duplicating the film for any other school or member/subsidiary locations. Each location requires a separate copy.
Community Colleges
This license allows for unlimited screenings at one location, and is intended for community college settings within a specific course curriculum. No entrance fee or suggested donation may be charged for screenings under this license. This license does not permit duplicating the film for private use, or for any other school locations. Each location requires a separate copy.
Institutions, 4-Year Colleges/Universities
This license allows for unlimited screenings at one location, and is intended for institutions, 4-year college and university settings within a specific course curriculum. No entrance fee or suggested donation may be charged for screenings under this license. This license does not permit duplicating the film for private use or for any other school or institution locations. Each location requires a separate copy.
Large Events and Special Screenings
