Use of HOM Copyright Material

Articles and forms which have been provided by HOM may be used for your personal use without concern about a complaint. You MAY NOT, however:
  1. Remove the copyright notation
  2. Change ANYTHING — title, headers, etc
  3. Remove the name, company name or other identifier of the author
  4. Reproduce for the purpose of selling or otherwise gaining benefit from the use of copyright material
IF you violate standard copyright guidelines, relative to HOM materials, you should expect:
  1. An Ethics complaint, at the least
  2. A lawsuit if you have sought to gain financially from the use of HOM material
  3. Public identification of your improper use of HOM materials
You SHOULD:

Contact Heather (HomeOwnershipMatters@gmail.com) or myself for permission to use HOM materials on your website or marketing we will gladly provide you with a release which will clearly identify the restrictions on use so there is no misunderstanding. It is NOT complicated to avoid copyright infringement

We are happy to partner with real estate boards, other organizations and brokerage firms to provide foreclosure related articles and materials. The goal of the company is to be a partner with other real estate professionals in spreading information which will be helpful to the general public. The use of HOM material, whether it is a portion or an article in its entirety, with proper credits will never create a problem.

We will, however, not allow blatant misuse of HOM materials without addressing the issue when it comes to our attention.

Common courtesy, adherence to ethical guidelines and use of good judgment will avoid any problem.

Sincerely,

Mildred
