Sharing Links Is Welcome
You are welcome to share links to public pages on The Wellness Thread website.
For example, you may share a link to:
- A blog article
- A book information page
- A free resource page
- The Resource Center
- The cookbook page
- The homepage
Sharing a link is different from copying and reposting the full content.
Quoting Small Portions
You may quote a short portion of public website content for commentary, discussion, or reference when the use is reasonable and proper credit is given.
Credit should identify The Wellness Thread and, where appropriate, Demaris Newberry as the author.
A short quotation should not be used as a substitute for reproducing a full article, chapter, recipe collection, course lesson, or digital resource.
Recipes
Individual recipes may contain elements that are not protected in exactly the same way as longer written works, but the original written presentation, explanations, photography, collection structure, cookbook design, commentary, and overall organization may still be protected.
Please do not reproduce full cookbook collections, copy recipe pages, or republish substantial portions of The Wellness Thread cookbooks as your own material.
If you want to reference a recipe publicly, the better option is to share the link to the relevant cookbook or public recipe page.
Use in Groups, Classes, or Professional Settings
A personal purchase does not automatically include permission to distribute copies to a class, support group, client list, workplace, organization, or other group.
If you would like to use The Wellness Thread content in a group, educational, coaching, professional, or organizational setting, please contact The Wellness Thread first.
A separate permission or licensing arrangement may be required.
Free Resources Are Still Copyrighted
A resource being free does not place it in the public domain.
Free guides, mini-course materials, downloadable files, and other no-cost resources remain protected by copyright.
You may use them personally, but you may not reproduce, resell, republish, or distribute them as your own material.
Book Covers, Logos & Branding
The Wellness Thread name, book covers, logos, branded graphics, and other identifying design elements may not be used in a misleading way.
You may not use these materials to suggest that The Wellness Thread endorses, sponsors, or is affiliated with a business, product, course, group, or service without permission.
Third-Party Content
Some pages may link to or reference third-party websites, retailers, platforms, or materials.
Third-party content remains subject to the rights and policies of its respective owner.
Nothing in this policy grants permission to use third-party material that The Wellness Thread does not own.
Requests for Permission
If you would like to use The Wellness Thread content beyond normal personal use, you may request permission before using it.
Please explain:
- Which material you want to use
- How much of it you want to use
- Where it will appear
- Whether the use is personal, educational, nonprofit, or commercial
- Whether the material will be distributed to others
Permission is not granted unless it is confirmed in writing.
Unauthorized Use
The Wellness Thread reserves the right to request removal of content that improperly copies, distributes, republishes, or uses protected material.
Where appropriate, The Wellness Thread may also use available legal or platform-based procedures to address unauthorized copying, distribution, or infringement.
