Alpha Copyright Statement 

1.
With the exception of books published by Kingsway (in which the author is stated to hold the copyright), all Alpha resources and materials, including graphics materials, booklets and tapes are copyright to Holy Trinity Brompton.

2.
In no circumstances may any part of any Alpha resource be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the copyright holder or that holder's agent.

3.
Use of Alpha resources is permitted only when in conjunction with the running or promotion of an Alpha course. Resale, or the obtaining of payment in any other connection with any Alpha resource is not permitted.

4.
Holy Trinity Brompton asks that the name 'Alpha', or names similar to it should not be used in connection with any other Christian course. This request is made in order to:

  -avoid confusion caused by different courses having similar titles; 
  -ensure the uniformity and integrity of the Alpha course; and 
  -to maintain confidence in courses listed on the Alpha register. 

5.
Holy Trinity Brompton accepts that minor adaptations to the Alpha course may occasionally be desirable. These should only concern the length of the talks or the number of sessions. In each case the essential character of the course must be retained. Alpha is a series of 15 talks, given over a period of time, including a weekend or day away, with teaching based on all the material in Questions of Life. If the Alpha course is adapted, the person responsible must:

  -only use such a course in their own church or parish; 
  -not allow such a course to be used elsewhere; and 
  -not publish or promote such a course. 
  -This statement supersedes all previous statements relating to copyright in any Alpha resource.
