Welcome to CoveBear.com! - Copyright Notice

We welcome school systems, libraries, non-profit organizations, visitors centers, museums, and many others to purchase our video programs, notecards, photography, plaques, and to view our artwork!

USE OF OUR VIDEOS IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES

All video programs to be used in schools and libraries must be purchased directly from Kate Marshall Graphics, Inc. and not from a retail store. All video programs to be used in schools and libraries must be kept in their original copyrighted package. The DVD may not have any labels added to the disc itself, because it will become unbalanced and not play properly. The copyright notice may not be obscured either on the disc or any labels or covers. Our website and company name may not be obscured on the cover or the disc. Our packaging is copyrighted along with our product and may not be altered. Please observe International and United States Copyright Laws by not making copies of our programs to distribute, use or sell. Items should be always be purchased separately. A school system may circulate one purchased item to each location, or may purchase an item for each location; however, they may not purchase one item, make copies, and circulate those unauthorized copies to each location. There is never an instance when a copy of our products may be made legally, without our permission.

A library or school may purchase our videos at the regular retail price - we do not charge an additional fee for libraries or schools, as other companies sometimes do.

PUBLIC SHOWING OF OUR VIDEOS

Our video programs may be shown in a private room (classroom) to a small group in an educational setting. However, they may not be shown to a public group as part of an advertised presentation with a speaker or as part of a show, without our express written permission. A Presentation Permit may be issued if requested, and often is permitted to use in park visitors centers and natural history museums. Our programs may not be shown in any public setting unless they are available for purchase by the public at the same facility, without our express written permission. No portion of our programs or stock footage may be shown to the public without our knowledge.

VIDEO STOCK FOOTAGE

Purchase of stock footage carries its own terms, and this purchase must meet all terms, including our permission for the stock to be shown in a certain manner, and also the agreement that a copy of the finished program containing our stock footage will be shipped to us immediately after completion. Please see our section about stock video footage for more details. None of our copyrighted materials, such as VHS, DVD, photographs, stock, art, text, plaques, and other items may be copied unless the item is permitted by KMG to be copied and/or used.
