Internal Educational Use:

This includes use within a school, college or university by a single teacher or lecturer as a teaching or learning aid aimed at pupils or students. The fee allows for repeated use of the cartoon within the classroom, and for reproduction of the cartoon for use by students. This does not include use for presentations to other teachers or other paid staff or any use by commercial training or teaching organisations where the organisation accepts paying customers for profit. If in doubt, please contact me.

Printed Use in Publicly Available Publications; Commercial, including Commercial Educational:

Web Sites: Commercial and other Promotional Sites

For use at one URL for a period as stated, where the web site is maintained by a commercial or professional body, that is used for promotional purposes for a commercial organisation or other body, or that takes paying subscribers or advertisers.

Intranet Sites & Web Sites that are only Accessible Internally: Commercial Organisations & Professional Bodies

For use at one URL for a period as stated, where the site is used by a commercial organisation or professional body and is only accessible to employees. For sites that are accessible to the public or to outside bodies such as subcontractors or subsiduaries please see Web Sites: Commercial and other Promotional Sites (the category immediately above).

Free Use:

My cartoons can be used free of charge by students as part of course work or in leaflets and newsletters that are circulated within a school or college for educational purposes. (Teachers, lecturers and other paid staff have to pay - see Internal Educational Use.)

The cartoons cannot, unfortunately, be used free of charge by campaign groups or by small charities (or branches of large charities that have little or no funding). The reason why, and the special low fees that are required, are detailed in the section below. Large charities that employ staff and that want to use my cartoons in significant publications need to pay using the Public Printed Editorial Use, Non-commercial category, listed above.

The cartoons cannot be displayed free of charge on personal web sites or blogs, for which a small fee is required (see next category for the reason and the fees). If you want to feature the cartoons free of charge on a blog or personal web site you can link directly to the page on this site that features the cartoon by using a reduced version of the cartoon (no more than 150 pixels high) as a link or by using a text link using such wording as: Look at this great cartoon!

Small Charities and Campaign Groups (and Campaigning Individuals):

Much as I would like to allow free use of my work, especially by good causes, economic realities dictate that I need to charge a small fee for its use.
The reason for this is that a major use of my work is by small charities and campaign groups, so it's largely through the donation of these small fees that I'm able to carry on producing work of the type that you want to use, for the purposes for which you want to use it.
The fee that I charge for the use of my work in this category is very modest - indeed you may think that because it's so low it's hardly worth the effort of paying it. However, as I mentioned, it's thanks to these small fees that I can carry on producing cartoons - if people didn't pay it would mean that eventually I'd have to close down my site. (If on the other hand you think that the fee is large, bear in mind that there's a substantial outlay of time and effort that goes into producing and administering the use of my cartoons.)

This category is specifically for small charities (or small, financially independent sections of large charities) or for small campaign groups or individuals engaged in campaign work on an unpaid basis. By campaign work I mean such activities as environmental campaigns or health campaigns. Campaigns linked to commercial concerns, such as health campaigns linked to diet products, are not included in this category. Campaign groups that promote hatred or that advocate violence are barred. Interest groups such as local social clubs, community groups or leisure interest groups (such as astronomy groups, bird watching groups and such-like) do not fit into this category, and can be found under the Personal Use category, below. Any non-profit organisations that employ paid staff generally need to pay for the cartoons under the Public Printed Editorial Use, Non-commercial, listed above.

Personal Use:

For most personal uses (other than students using my work as part of their studies) you need to pay a small fee (to cover copyright, administration and overheads).
If you think that this sounds a bit mean, please bear in mind that selling my cartoons is how I earn my living, and I have to put a lot of work into it. These small payments make a lot of difference to my income, and without them I'd have to close down my site.

This category includes use by organizations that are staffed by volunteers or unpaid staff, such as local social clubs, community groups or interest groups (such as astronomy groups, bird watching groups and such-like). Any individuals engaged in charity work or campaign work should refer to the Small Charities and Campaign Groups category, listed immediately above.

This category does not allow the cartoons to be reprinted on personal greetings cards.
