To protect the copyright for print, CD-ROM, and Internet publications, CCH has established a set of rules to govern how authorization to reprint is granted (or not) to those who request it. All requests must be sent via either email or fax. Phone requests will not be processed.

I. Copyright Clearance Center

CCH is a member of the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC). Those wishing to reprint CCH publication materials can contact the CCC for reprint permission.

At the time that full or partial permission is granted, the requesting party will be informed that:

CCH/Wolters Kluwer does not warrant that the information is error-free and disclaims all liability with respect to the results of the use of the information. Although CCH/Wolters Kluwer does its best to provide complete and up-to-date information, we do not insure the user for the consequences of the use of the information. CCH/Wolters Kluwer is not engaged in rendering professional services or advice.

III. Reporter Reprints, Customized Books

Sections of CCH/Wolters Kluwer reporting services can be consolidated into book form upon request. Prices are quoted based on page count, quantity, and production costs. All reprint and customized book requests are to be sent in writing to the contact for Quantity Publications listed at the end of this document. Requests must include the information listed above in Reprint Permission (General Guidelines).

IV. Selected Electronic Product Reprint/Reproduction Provisions

Caution: The applicable CCH/Wolters Kluwer License Agreement or other applicable terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) does not permit a Licensee to copy information from charts or tables to include in a database program without permission from CCH. In fact, the Agreement and these Guidelines prohibit a Licensee from copying information from charts or tables for inclusion in a database program without written permission from CCH/Wolters Kluwer. Content is provided to the Customer for the personal use of the Customer and not for re-sale. Content may be used only for the purpose of Customer's internal affairs, the conduct of its business, or providing professional services to Customer’s clients.

Customer acknowledges that the Content constitutes valuable and proprietary property of CCH/Wolters Kluwer or of third parties who have contributed to the Content. If Customer wishes to use the Content in any manner not expressly permitted under these Guidelines, Customer may request permission from CCH/Wolters Kluwer by providing a written description of the intended use and such other information as CCH/Wolters Kluwer may request. Permission may only be granted by an authorized representative of CCH/Wolters Kluwer. The granting of such a request may entail an additional fee payable by Customer.

Customer may make printouts of Content retrieved from a CCH/Wolters Kluwer Internet product to the extent permitted under the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. Sec. 107), or may download and store insubstantial portions of Content (in machine-readable form), so long as such downloading is consistent with the purposes authorized by these Guidelines. Customer shall comply with all applicable conventions regarding copyright and source of material attribution.

V. Requests for Pages or Paragraphs that have been Removed and Discarded

Upon occasion, a requestor may need loose-leaf pages or paragraphs that have since been replaced. CCH/Wolters Kluwer does not generally maintain such historical or archival-type information. Any information that CCH/Wolters Kluwer could provide as to what now-superseded pages looked like at any point in the past may be extremely speculative.

Requests will be accepted in writing, via fax, e-mail or phone, and must include exact identification of the material to be supplied. Costs associated with the materials vary depending upon the document(s) supplied. Sales tax is charged, when applicable.

Items that can ordinarily be supplied are materials that are maintained in historical transfer binders; Archival or Non-Expiring CDs or prior editions of CCH/Wolters Kluwer annually revised titles: Standard Federal Tax Reporter, Federal Tax Compliance Guide (formerly, Federal Tax Manual), and Loose-Leaf Master Tax Guide. CCH/Wolters Kluwer Editorial Library will retrieve and mail or fax the documents at the normal photocopying charge. However, this service does not grant any reprint or reproduction rights, with regard to the materials supplied.

As always, the materials that can be supplied directly by Customer Service Representatives are limited to those items that are currently in a Reporter or current publication, items to which CCH/Wolters Kluwer has sole copyright, and/or public domain items.

A research charge of $100.00 per hour is added to normal charges for documents.
