Respecting our artists and content creators
CI seeks to find a balance between disseminating useful products at little or no cost and promoting and protecting the property and moral rights of its artists and content creators. CI has developed a number of different types of content in an effort to find this balance:
Type 1: Free to reproduce with acknowledgment
CI publishes a number of products that are free to reproduce with acknowledgment. This literally means that you can reproduce and distribute these products without paying CI provided neither the text nor the images are altered in any way and provided the product’s acknowledgement statement is reproduced unaltered in content, position, font size, and logo size. This ‘free to reproduce with acknowledgement’ licence extends to reproduction and distribution in third party, commercial products. If a ‘free to reproduce with acknowledgement’ product is reproduced and distributed, but the text, images or acknowledgement, including the CI logo, has been altered or omitted, CI reserves the right to take legal action for breach of intellectual property rights.
If you wish to adapt a ‘free to reproduce with acknowledgement’ you must submit the request to CI in writing.
Type 2: Sold or given away with a licence to distribute to a limited number of third parties
CI publishes products, which can be distributed to a limited number of third parties. These products have an accompanying warning to third parties not to further distribute the product. This warning must not be removed from such a product. If this type of product is distributed beyond the limited licence, CI reserves the right to take legal action for breach of intellectual property rights.
Type 3 All other material and products
1 Images published on the CI site
CI publishes images of works of art and photographs. Unless an artwork or photograph is specifically identified as being ‘free to reproduce with acknowledgement’ you do not have the right to download it to your computer or print it unless you have paid for that right and you do not have the right to distribute it unless you have written permission to do so or it is ‘sold or given away with a licence to distribute to a limited number of third parties’. If an artwork is ‘sold or given away with a licence to distribute to a limited number of third parties’ you do not have the right to distribute it beyond the terms of that licence.

Parents need to be aware that the site and its contents are dynamic and even previously reviewed material can be subject to change without notice.
Whether the material on the site is appropriate for individual adolescents is a matter for individual families to decide.
