Copyright Notice and Terms:
All images, videos, books, articles, domain names, design theme, logos, and other materials on this site are copyright protected. You may not reuse, redistribute, republish, sell, store in a database, reverse engineer, or otherwise use my content without my express written consent. However, there are a few exceptions:
You may use built-in “share” tools on social networking sites to publicly share links to my content, which is a common practice on sites like Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, and so forth.
You may create hyperlinks on other websites, which will point back to my original website.
You may share my public videos using YouTube’s or Instagram’s official video page or share tools. YouTube also allows individuals to embed videos into websites, blogs, and other online properties, or to email videos or share them on social media. I allow this so long as the official YouTube video is used from my channel (TheIVGuy); it does not violate YouTube’s terms of service; you may not post the text transcript of the video; and advertisements or content is not obscured or manipulated. Also, YouTube’s terms prevent the selling of content or access to their content, so you may not list my videos on a website and offer them for sale directly or charge a membership fee indirectly for access to my videos.
You may not use my image or the image of Brian “The IV Guy” in any advertisements or promotional materials without my express written consent. You may not imply that I have in any way endorsed your product or service.
You may NOT download my content (outside of YouTube’s and Instagram’s share tools) and re-upload it to other video sites, YouTube channels, blogs, or online properties. You may not copy my content to republish in books, flash cards, or to produce your own videos, DVDs, and other resource material. You may not transcribe content from my videos and post as articles online or in books. Doing so violates copyright law.
You agree never to attempt to gather private or personal information from this website, domain, server, or any other property of The IV Guy. Harvesting emails, hacking, gathering information, or anything else is strictly prohibited.
You may not share, rent, sell or trade any information on this site.
