Helpguide asks that the full article be reprinted, when feasible. If you are only interested in excerpting a section of an article, Helpguide will allow this when a link to the full Helpguide article is included at the end of the excerpt.

Whether you are reprinting the content in full or excerpting a section, you may not change, edit, or adapt the content of an article without written consent from Helpguide.

You do not sell or otherwise charge for access to any Helpguide content.

Helpguide does not charge a fee to reprint our content within a print publication. Therefore, we do not allow viewing of our content in print publications to be subject to a fee.

Publications charging a fee, such as educational textbooks and subscription-based magazines, should contact us to obtain written permission.

You use the printer-friendly version for handouts.

Helpguide allows articles to be printed and used as handouts, provided they are distributed at no charge to the recipients. There is no limit to the number of copies that can be printed.

Use the "printer-friendly" version, which can be accessed from the print button near the top of the article.

Copying and displaying Helpguide content on third-party websites, either freestanding or by framing, is prohibited.

However, Helpguide will grant you permission to use up to a 250-word excerpt in electronic format, such as an e-newsletter, blog post, or PowerPoint presentation, provided that the excerpt is properly sourced as being from Helpguide.org and provides a direct link to the original Helpguide article at the end of the excerpt.

Any other use of Helpguide content on third-party websites is strictly prohibited without written permission.

Using Images From Helpguide

Helpguide does not own the copyrights to the majority of images found on the Helpguide website. Therefore, we cannot grant reprinting permission for images independently of the articles.
