Can I
re-publish some of your information on my web site ?
You are free to re-publish any information
posted on this web site, as long as you mention our
web site as the source of the information you publish. Any such
re-publication should be limited in scope, and serve to illustrate a particular
point. To prevent wholesale copying of our published data, some of the most
data-intensive and frequently updated pages on this site are
protected
against electronic copying.
The best solution, if you want to publish
up-to-the-minute holidays information to your web site's visitors, is to use our syndicated feed of world holidays. This way you can easily add a live
feed of today's and tomorrow's holidays (as seen
at the bottom of this page) to any
of your web pages. Once it's done, you never have to worry about it anymore, the
information viewed by your visitors will always be up to date, and will reflect
their computer's date, regardless of the time zone in which they are.
Future years' data is also available
under license for qualified professionals. Please
contact us for more details.

This site is great, how
can I help
?
We we are currently happy to provide the date related software and holidays
information for free, and to absorb all the costs related to its development and
maintenance, although there are some
non-trivial costs associated with the hosting of this site (we get about 2
million hits per month), and the time required to generate and update the web
pages that contain world holidays. The development of the Q++ freeware also
involves many hours of prime programming time by people who also need to feed
their families.
The better this website is known, the more likely that we will get
enquiries from interested prospective clients. So, you
can help ensure that the necessary resources are allocated to the hosting
maintenance, updating and development of the information and tools on this
website by spreading the word about this site. This can be done in many
different ways: by telling other people by email, by mentioning this web site,
with a link to it, in discussion groups, or even better, by adding a link from your website to this site.

Do you have a privacy policy ?
Yes, our privacy policy
can be viewed online. We do not display any advertising (banner, sidebar, popup
advertising), and we also do not accept sponsored links.

Do you accept links to
other sites on your site ?
We will publish links (one way, and with no need to
reciprocate) to any page that we feel complements the information presented on
our website, and which would be of interest to our visitors. General links will
usually be published on our Useful Links page,
but country-specific or religion-specific links may be added to individual
country pages or
religion pages. If you know of a web site that
would be of interest to our readers, please contact us,
we welcome all suggestions.

Why are some of the
pages of this site protected ?
Every day, information from our website is copied by other
websites. Some do it to attract visitors to their website and try to sell them
unrelated products or services, and some do it to fill-up the content of their
website (refusing to
provide a link to our pages to ensure that people could view the most recently updated
data).
This callous behavior hurts the general
public by having potentially outdated information floating around the
internet.
So we protect our main information pages to make it a harder for whole-scale
plagiarists. The solution we found is
totally harmless, but it does involve making our holidays pages
non-printable, and also disabling any text selection from these
pages. We apologize for the inconvenience that this
causes to bona fide visitors. For more information, see our
Privacy Policy.

Is
it safe to view your protected pages, and your site in general ?
Since our site, and
other holidays sites,
have begun to
protect their pages from plagiarism, there have been some
postings, focusing on public holidays websites, suggesting
that our wish to protect ourselves from plagiarists, was a cover for malevolent
intentions. We can assure you that nothing is further from the truth. But,
rather than taking our word, we suggest that you use your
usual anti-spyware
program to ascertain that nothing untoward was done to your system as the result
of visiting our website. If you have more questions on the subject, please feel
free to contact us directly,
or see our Privacy Policy.

The information freely published on this site is
intended for personal or anecdotal professional use.
If you wish to use our data in a
professional and systematic manner, then all our data, including future years'
data, is available
under license to qualified professionals. Please
