How It All Works

Basically Netsurfer Communications, Inc. works by distributing content for free and paying the bills by delivering commercial messages, advertising, special mailings, etc. Our policy is based on making a fair arrangement between our four customers - content producers, readers, advertisers, and redistributors. It is very simple, and applies to both electronic and non-electronic media and any form of delivery. So read it even if you chisel each copy in stone and send it out by pony express.

WWW Linking

You may use hypertext links to material on our WWW server without restriction. In fact we encourage everyone to do this. This policy works well since we get to count the number of accesses and pass that information on to our sponsors.

We would, however, appreciate a note saying that you have created a link to our content. This helps us plan our server capacity to give all our visitors good response time and an enjoyable experience at our site. If you tell us about your site, we may also be able to inform you of any new or interesting material which you may wish to add to your pages.

What is Redistribution?

You are redistributing our material if you place full or partial copies of our publications at your online sites, or if you use them in print. The rules for redistribution are as follows:

Non-Commercial Redistribution

You can redistribute our copyrighted material for non-commercial purposes if you do the following:

  1. Send us an e-mail message at distribution@netsurf.com to tell us that you are doing so. Also let us know whether you are willing to be a public mirror site or whether you just want to distribute our publications internally to your group.

  2. Always carry entire, unaltered copies of both the editorial and the commercial content. For example, if you carry Netsurfer Digest then you must carry all the ads within our digest.

  3. Leave all copyright notices intact.

Commercial Redistribution

If you are redistributing content for commercial purposes, either online or in print, then please contact us at distribution@netsurf.com. We make commercial arrangements on a case-by-case basis. We can provide special editions such as editorial-content-only versions, or issues based on special areas of interest. Please note that print syndication arrangements are also available.

Review Material

Short excerpts from our publications can be used freely for review purposes. Please send us a copy of the review, or a pointer to it. This helps us stay responsive to our customers.

Translations

Besides the unique Netsurfer style of American, we speak a smattering of Polish, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Yiddish, and Hebrew. But we are not able to provide our publications in these and other languages. If you are interested in translating our publications, let us know. We love what we do, and would like to share it even more widely with our growing global audience.


That's It!

This is what we have come up with. We are open to customer feedback, so please drop us a note if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments.
