Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using EveryPoem (https://www.everypoem.org), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our website.

Use of the Website

EveryPoem provides a collection of poetry for personal enjoyment, education, and inspiration. You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• Use the website in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the website
• Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or extract content in bulk without permission

Intellectual Property

The original poetry, website design, layout, and other creative content on EveryPoem are protected by intellectual property laws. You may share individual poems through the sharing features provided on the website, but you may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content for commercial purposes without prior written consent.

Poetry Content

Poems credited to an EveryPoem Studio house voice are collaborative original works created for this platform; the voice page identifies that editorial arrangement rather than claiming a fictional personal biography. While we strive for quality and accuracy, poetry is a form of creative expression and the views expressed in individual poems do not necessarily reflect the views of EveryPoem.

Comments and submissions

You retain rights in work you submit. You grant permission only for private editorial review until separate publication terms are agreed. Comments and poems may be rejected, removed, or held for moderation when they infringe rights, expose personal information, contain abuse or spam, or do not fit the site. Do not submit work you do not control.

Personal Use

You are welcome to read, share, and enjoy the poetry on EveryPoem for personal, non-commercial purposes. This includes sharing poems with friends and family, using poems in personal cards or letters, and referencing poems in educational settings with proper attribution to EveryPoem.
