At HMK Consultants we believe that knowledge is only valuable when it's shared. That being said, we really dislike it when our ideas, pictures, concepts and other materials are presented, in our own original form, often still accompanied by our logo, are presented as the original works of others. This has led to our formal Reprint Policy for information presented on this website.

We appreciate that some of our work has been found worth repeating. All we ask is attribution, in most cases. Here's the formal deal:

- if you wish to use our articles, information, etc. on your web page, and your web page is a general information page, not affiliated with any for-profit organization, and you will receive no advertising revenue based on presentation of our materials, and no payment for publishing of the materials, then you may use our material with the following attribution "-from HMK Consultants, www.hmk.on.ca". The link should be live. If you do not wish to attribute us, then we suggest you write your own material.

- if you wish to use our materials in a magazine, ezine, or to generate ad revenue or other revenue, or will profit in any way from using this material, you must contact us, in writing, to receive our express permission.

- if you are an educational organization, we certainly have no objection to your using our material, and hope you find it useful. We would, however, appreciate knowing that it is being distributed to whole classrooms, and how it is being used. For us, this is good information. For you, well, maybe it encourages us to write more of what you find useful.

We regret that this policy has become necessary, and hope that you will continue to support our organization.
