TERMS AND CONDITIONS

School Site Licence

When the school obtains a Site Licence for the Curriculum Organiser, it is provided for the use of each teacher at that school. Individual teachers may then save the CD to their personal computers and may make modifications for personalised planning.

Sharing documents within the school

Learning programs generated using the Curriculum Organiser can be shared between teachers within the school.

Prohibited copying

However, under the copyright agreement with the school, teachers are not permitted to provide copies of Curriculum Organiser materials or the formats to teachers from other schools that have not obtained a Site Licence.

Transfers

The Site License is issued to the school and its current and future teachers. Teachers who transfer to another school are not permitted to use the materials in another school, with the following exceptions:

· The new school has also purchased a site licence.

· The teacher independently purchases individual teacher's licence.

Illegal copies

Making additional copies of the Curriculum Organiser CD is not permitted. If a teacher loses or damages a CD, contact the school principal or Education Research Solutions and it will be replaced free-of-charge.
