Linking Policy

1. Links to This Website

You may link to public pages on stevensheeley.com provided the link is fair, lawful, accurate, and does not damage or take unfair advantage of my reputation, work, books, characters, brands, or website. Links should point to the most relevant public page and use accurate link text.

2. Prohibited Linking Practices

You must not link in a way that is misleading, deceptive, defamatory, unlawful, abusive, harmful, falsely suggests endorsement or affiliation, misrepresents my work or identity, uses protected material without authority, bypasses security or access controls, or facilitates scraping, mirroring, or unauthorised republication.

3. No Framing, Inline Linking, or Misleading Presentation

You must not frame this website, display it inside another website or application, or otherwise make it appear to be part of another service without written permission. You must not hotlink, inline-link, embed, or directly serve images, files, media, or other website content without permission.

4. Logos, Cover Art, and Images

You may not use author branding, logos, book covers, artwork, graphics, photographs, maps, character images, or other visual materials as part of a link without written permission, except where permitted by law. Third-party rights may also apply.
