1. The Websites

1.1. Pearson Education offers on-line, World Wide Web-based subscription and non-subscription websites. This document will refer to these site(s) as "the website".

2. Ownership of the Information, Materials and Software of the Website

You expressly acknowledge and agree that the website contains information, text, software, photos, video, graphics, music, sounds and other material (called "Materials") that are protected by copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other proprietary rights (called "Intellectual Property Rights"), that these Intellectual Property Rights are valid and protected in all forms, media and technologies existing now or developed later, and that all right, title and interest in and to these Materials, including but not limited to all Intellectual Property Rights, belong solely and exclusively to Pearson Education or its licensors.

2.1 Areas may be provided on the website for users to post and exchange ideas and information. The views and opinions expressed therein do not necessarily reflect those of Pearson Education or its content providers or licensors. You hereby represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights in and to any materials you post on the site, and that such material will not infringe on any personal or proprietary rights of any third parties. Further, you authorize Pearson Education to use and/or authorize others to use your postings in any manner, format or medium.

2.2 Some activities within Pearson Education's websites may request users to submit information that is tabulated and stored in a database. The data obtained is used to produce statistics that are integral to the educational value of these activities. Anywhere the requested data is personal in nature, a user's specific responses remain confidential and are not associated with name or e-mail address in any way. In some activities where the data is not personal in nature, a user's specific responses may be identified by e-mail address and accessed separate from the aggregate. By participating in an activity that uses a database, you are giving us consent to include your data in the study.

2.3 Pearson Education subscription websites require the use of internet browser cookies to facilitate subscription processing, and to validate user role (instructor, student, etc.) upon login. These cookies are session based and expire when the internet browser is shut down. Pearson does not share this information with third parties, nor does Pearson Education use it for any purpose other than facilitating the user experience.

3. Use of the Information and Materials of the Website

The license granted herein is nonexclusive, personal to you and nontransferable.

3.5. Except as you may be expressly permitted by this Agreement, you may not use, modify, adapt, reformat, download, upload, post, reproduce, broadcast, publish, display, perform, transfer or redistribute any Materials in any form, format or media or by means of any technology without obtaining the prior written authorization of Pearson Education and any other owner of the Intellectual Property Rights in such Materials, with this one exception:

3.6. You may, on an occasional and irregular basis, include insubstantial portions of Materials from the website in memoranda, reports and presentations, and then only to the extent that such use constitutes "fair use" under applicable copyright and intellectual property law, provided that in each instance you include in all such memoranda, reports and presentations all copyright, trademark and other notices from the website and the information used, original source attribution, and the phrase "Used with permission from Pearson Education."

3.7. The foregoing exception does not include posting Materials from the website to newsgroups, mail lists, electronic bulletin boards or any other on-line destination.

3.8. If you reproduce Materials from the website, as permitted by this Agreement, you must preserve any copyright, trademark or other notices contained in or associated with them. This means, among other things, that if the specific Material you are reproducing does not contain the relevant notices that appear on the website, you must go to the place on the website where such notices appear and copy them into the Materials you are reproducing.

3.9. Without in any way limiting your obligations under Section 3.5 above, you agree not to otherwise reproduce, use, sell, transmit, publish, broadcast, or otherwise disseminate or distribute Materials from the website to anyone, including but not limited to others in the same company, school, college or other organization, whether or not for a charge or other consideration, including but not limited to use in connection with the sale, retransmission, distribution, publication, broadcasting, circulation or other dissemination, for any purpose, whether commercial or otherwise, without the express prior written permission of Pearson Education.
