Republication Policy:

The reviews and articles on Pandora’s Books are mine. You do not have permission to take material/articles/pictures from my site and run it on yours without permission.

The following can be done:

**You may publish a quote of 150 words or less from reviews/articles with a link to the original piece on Pandora’s Books if you are another site. Credit must be given in a way that makes it obvious that the content is not your own.

**You may publish a quote of 150 words or less from reviews/articles with a credit given if you are an author. This can be used on your site (with a link back to my site: Pandora’s Books) or book cover (with a name credit given: Pandora’s Books).

**Written permission will be needed from me (Meredith @ Pandora’s Books) in order to republish more than 150 words from Pandora’s Books. If you get written permission, then all links and words must be copied as is with a link to the original piece (in a prominent area that makes it clear that the content is mine).

**Full articles/reviews are not permitted to be republished from Pandora’s Books without WRITTEN permission from me and final say on the article before publication.

Disclosure Policy:

This policy is officially valid from August 21, 2016, but has unofficially been in place since June 24, 2013

Pandora’s Books is a personal blog written and edited by me. Occasionally I have guest posts and reviewers that contribute to the content as well. For questions about Pandora’s Books, please contact meredith(at)pandorasbooks(dot)org

Pandora’s Books does not accept any form of cash advertising, sponsorship, or paid topic insertions. However, we will and do accept and keep free products (books/ARCs/egalleys/etc for review). The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. In the future, if we choose to do advertisements those will be managed through a 3rd party service and will not influence the reviews on Pandora’s Books.

The owner (Meredith @ Pandora’s Books) is not compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owners. If we (me or my guest bloggers) claim or appear to be experts on a certain topic or product or service area, we will only endorse products or services that we believe, based on our expertise, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

What is Copyright?

From Google:

Copyright is a form of protection provided for original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, graphic and audiovisual creations. “Copyright” literally means the right to copy, but has come to mean that body of exclusive rights granted by law to copyright owners for protection of their work.
