Fan Material

Invitation to Web Publishers

Dear Fans,

It is my goal to make complying with the Fan Material Policy as painless and easy as possible, so I'd like to work with you to get your website in compliance with the Issaries Fan Material Policy as soon as possible.

First, go to Checklist for Online Web Sites to see if you qualify for an Informal Licence. Also, go to How to Apply for an Informal Licence. If you do not qualify, possibly because there is material on your website that may go beyond the limited use of Proprietary Material and Derivative Material permitted under Sections 2.B and 2.C. of the Fan Policy, continue below for a Formal Licence.

Formal License Process

Check How to Apply for a Formal Licence.

That being said, I would rather not require that you immediately take down those portions of your website that conflict with the limited use provisions of the Fan Material Policy. Instead, I'd prefer to grant you a special license to use the proprietary Issaries material currently on your website in the manner you currently are using it. This license would be revokable at the sole discretion of Issaries, Inc. The license would permit your website to use proprietary Issaries material currently on your website without change. A copy of the license agreement is attached (PDF format).

As part of the terms of the license agreement, your website will need to include appropriate Trademark and "Concept Use" statements as per Section 3.A.1 of the Fan Material Policy. I will also need you to post a disclaimer on your website stating that:

All proprietary material owned by Issaries, Inc., and all material incorporating or making derivative use of proprietary material owned by Issaries, Inc. is used only pursuant to the terms of a revokable license from Issaries, Inc.

The license will not cover any future additions of material incorporating or making derivative use of proprietary material. You will need to get specific permission from Issaries, Inc. for any such future material beyond that permitted under the limited use provisions of the Fan Material Policy. However, in most cases that shouldn't be too difficult.

If this sounds like it would work with you, I'd like you to do two things:

  1. Send an email, including your website's url, to us, with a message saying you agree to the terms of the attached license agreement, and that you are sending two signed copies of the agreement to us by physical mail. You will receive an email saying you have the rights stated in the website agreement for your site, allowing you to put your site up. We will also list your website on our links page.
  2. Print out and sign two copies of the attached agreement, and them to us at

    Issaries, Inc.
    c/o Greg Stafford
    1942 Channing Ave, #204
    Berkeley, CA 94704

    We will sign the other and send it back to you. This must occur to mutually close the agreement.

If you have questions, then send them to me.

Hopefully, this will prove to be a quick, easy and painless process!

Thanks.

-Greg
