You will continue to be the copyright holder of the contributed content. And you may publish the content you contribute to Indulekha, on your personal, non-commercial website if you possess one. In case the contributions are digital images of artwork in traditional media such as canvas, that is available for sale, you may also publish digital images of your artwork on commercial websites that sell art online, only for the purpose of sale. We generally do not object to our contributors re-posting their contributions on other, freely accessible non-commercial internet locations, so long as Indulekha is clearly cited as the original publisher, and a link to www.indulekha.com is provided.

You, however, agree to secure our permission first before such re-publication on other internet sites happens. And, you agree to state www.indulekha.com as the previous publisher prominently in case you print your article in an offline magazine or newspaper or book.

Once granted and your content is published, the distribution rights cannot be revoked. In other words, once your contribution is published on Indulekha, it automatically becomes a permanent part of the publicly-accessible Indulekha archives. You may, however, subject to our approval, update or revise your contributions on Indulekha.

You will not receive any monetary compensation for your submissions to the Site. The only in-kind compensation we promise is exposure on the World Wide Web and a home for your expression on the web.
