Ask Alexander respects copyrights and provides these materials for non-commercial use only. We require you abide by these guidelines:

Ask Alexander materials are only available for online reading. In no circumstance are substantial parts of documents to be printed or downloaded for offline use to a personal device, including but not limited to PCs, iPads, phones, and eReaders.

Subscribers should also obtain correct wording for all citations and credits from the original source archive/copyholder.

The sharing of Ask Alexander accounts is not allowed and is cause for immediate account cancellation.

Conjuring Arts offers two different services: Memberships and Subscriptions.

Memberships include Ask Alexander access, product discounts, and the two issues of Gibecière that are released during your year of membership. Subscriptions strictly refer to access to various levels of Ask Alexander. Both are automatically recurring on their term (either annually or monthly). If requested Conjuring Arts can turn off the recurring charge without cancelling the account. This can be done by emailing Conjuring Arts.

Conjuring Arts memberships that include access to Ask Alexander (Charlier, Hofzinser and Erndase) can be augmented with more material via the purchase of Add-ons of monthly recurring subscriptions. These add-ons can be cancelled at any time without affecting other memberships or subscriptions.

The best method to upgrade/downgrade a monthly subscription is to purchase the level wanted and then immediately cancel the previous subscription.

Current Conjuring Arts memberships (Charlier, Hofzinser and Erdnase) are eligible for upgrade by paying the prorated difference to upgrade. This presently can only be done by contacting Conjuring Arts Staff (orders@conjuringarts.org).

Conjuring Arts strives not to infringe upon copyrights. If you own the copyright to something in the AskAlexander database, and you would like the material removed, please contact us at: copyrights@conjuringarts.org

There have been some unsubstantiated rumors posted online claiming that Conjuring Arts infringes on copyrights. We assure the users of Ask Alexander that we do NOT knowingly ever infringe on copyrights. Specifically it's been claimed that we are allowing access to Abra, Tops, New Tops and various Martin Breese properties without permission. In fact we have been given permission to include Abra by Fergus Roy of Davenports who we believe in good faith to own these rights. Further, Tops and New Tops magazines are owned by Abbott's Magic of Colon Michigan and we have arranged permanent access through Greg Bordner who is Abbott's owner. Additionally we have been given permanent irrevocable permission to allow access to many magazines and publications owned by Martin Breese. We have included access to these publications at various levels of Ask Alexander.

Subscribers do not have the right to re-publish any items, unless the subscriber has first obtained copyright permission from the appropriate copyright holder or archive.

Permission from the original source archive/copyright holder is always required in the case of re-publication of figures, tables and brief excerpts from our materials in the subscriber's own scientific, scholarly and educational works.
