 Description of site
and information |
The Andrews Pages are designed, written for and published on the
internet by Ann and Andy Andrews, either together or individually.
- The pages are based on our own creativity, research or transcripts
- In addition, we include from time to time material given to us
by other people. This is clearly identified as such and permission
has been sought before placing it on our webpages. The same 'Conditions
of Use' apply to this additional material, as if the contributor were
ourselves, or either one of us. At the bottom of each page is a statement attributing the copyright and recording the last update.
- All photographs that either we provide or have been provided by others have been prepared by and enhanced for the Internet by the webmistress
- This site is non-commercial.
- All rights reserved.

| Understanding copyright |
Everything on these pages is copyright whether this is stated specifically
or not.
Copyright extends to all the material within this site including that
from old books, pictures, postcards, photographs, parish registers,
census material, old directories and any other lists that appear.
Even if a book is now out of print and / or out of copyright, it does
not mean that a transcript of it is out of copyright. Copyright applies
to exactly this kind of material, whether it is on the Internet or
in other methods of publication.
If it is held in a database, as our material is, it is also protected by database right.

| Our material and how
it may and may not be used |
|
Non commercial use
- Those interested in family and / or local history are, generally
speaking, very welcome to use the material on our pages. That
is why we have taken the time to put it on to the Internet, providing
it for personal use only and we hope it is informative, interesting
and useful. You may use it for your own
family or local history research with pleasure and link into individual
pages (not individual images) from your own website, though not
copy material for your website. Nor should you copy material that
is published on this site and pass it onto another website as
your own work. It isn't.
- Those writing a school or student project are also, of course,
very welcome to use this material, but please do not copy it willy
nilly in large chunks and always state your source - teachers
and examiners use the Internet too.
- If you are considering writing a newspaper article or a book,
you are also asked to respect our conditions and one requirement
is to publish details of our website, but get in touch first.
- All material on the website, with the either the URL's beginning with www.andrewspages or www.matlockweb or containing dial.pipex or dspace/ is held in a database by us and is also protected by database right. We operate under United Kingdom and English Law.
- Photographs, postcards and other images are provided to enhance The Andrews Pages and no other website. If we find someone has copied our images and are using them on their website we will ask for their removal.
Our material may not be used for commercial
purposes
We are not asking for any form of payment, so the conditions
we place upon use are that no-one else should be able to profit
from it either. We feel very strongly that work we have done should
not be used someone else's commercial gain. This covers all types
of transmission - electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording
or otherwise. Selling copies on a CD ROM, on a floppy disk, on a
microfiche, or making copies available on a commercial World Wide
Web site, or being printed or sold in any form whatsoever is not
permitted. Many blog sites contain adverts,
so links only permitted.
Attributing the source.
Experienced researchers, of course, already know that it is essential
to always STATE THE SOURCE of information. If you are less experienced
in these matters, perhaps just starting out, we ask that you respect
the same convention and clearly state where you have found your
data. For ordinary private and personal research
purposes it is sufficient to quote the URL and our name(s). If private
research is shared, this information needs to be passed on, together
with the conditions which apply.
If you download material from our site and place it onto a floppy
disk, print it out or give it to others in any format whatsoever
please ensure that the recipient is aware (a) of the source of the
data and (b) of the conditions that apply to what you have copied
from this website (see below for what to include.)
Sadly, there have been cases of material being returned to the individual
who prepared it in the first place - and even being sold back to
them by someone who has made a commercial gain. The moral is that,
while the Internet makes it easy for people to download and pirate
other people's work, the Internet also makes the world smaller and
it is becoming easier for dishonest people to be found out.
If you aren't careful in noting your source or think it doesn't
really matter, we'd ask you to just think about it in reverse for
a moment. How would you like to come across something you know full
well you wrote and had probably spent a good deal of time researching,
yet there is absolutely nothing mentioned about your contribution?

| Errors in transcriptions
- deliberate or otherwise |
Whilst others may do so, we have not 'seeded' deliberate errors into
any of our transcriptions or other material. On the contrary, we have
gone to considerable trouble at all stages - recording, transcribing,
checking - to ensure our information is as accurate as possible. However,
some source materials are now very difficult to read and some errors
of interpretation or recording will occur from time to time. For this
reason the authors of these pages accept no liability for any information
that may be incorrect nor for any costs incurred.
|
| If material is passed
on to others or copied onto CD, etc. |

copy for others then please include the following statement where
