We may, from time to time, create a ‘PROMO MEDIA’ that would be available for re-posting and embedding in media that earns you/ or third party providers a commercial return. We will make that clear. If not marked as such it is not for general distribution.
You may not pass on our work or any form or derivation of our work for your Commercial gain or to any Media Service, free or paid.

We all see and hear things we think are great at times and want to pass them on to our friends. We’d by delighted if our work prompted that response to you.
If that’s the case to help you ‘bang the drum’ we aim to be providing ‘PROMO MEDIA’ that you can use should you wish to. This would be clearly marked and we’d love your help to reach people around the world with what we are creating.
