Membership Content (these additional terms apply to all paid Memberships)

Single-User Membership Licenses.  Memberships for verified teachers are called “Teacher Plus Memberships” and provide access to all Membership Content as well as certain Controlled Content. Memberships for non-teachers are called “Tutor Memberships” and provide access to all Membership Content except Controlled Content.  Whether you have purchased a Tutor Membership or a Teacher Plus Membership (or someone has purchased one for you to use),  you are granted a single-user, limited, non-exclusive license to access the Membership Content from any device with internet access. If you have purchased access to editable files you may use the editable Membership Content on the device(s) used by a single individual. 

Your login information is for you and you alone. Sharing your login or validation information is strictly prohibited. Your membership is a Single User License, which means it gives one person (the named Member) the right to access the Membership Content. Making additional copies of the Membership Content or enabling others to use your login information, license number (s), product number(s) and validation number(s), if any, is strictly prohibited. Memberships are single-user only. Tutor Memberships may not be used by anyone except the named Member; Teacher Plus Memberships may not be used by anyone but the named Member.

Controlled Content – Special Restrictions (These additional terms apply to Teacher Plus Memberships)

Teacher subscriptions are available only to verified teachers and provide access to Assessments, Answer Keys and other Controlled Content which is not available to the public at any other subscription level. Controlled Content is subject to special restrictions on distribution and are works of Limited Publication for copyright purposes under U.S. law. 

eMATHinstruction considers Controlled Content its trade secrets in that eMathinstruction has taken measures to ensure Controlled Content is kept from the public and Controlled Content has value by virtue of its not being publicly available. Publication of Controlled Content would destroy eMATHinstruction’s trade secrets and is strictly prohibited. Even more importantly, the secrecy of Controlled Content must be maintained in order to preserve academic integrity. eMATHinstruction expects Teacher Subscribers to strictly comply with the restrictions on distribution of Controlled Content and otherwise cooperate with eMATHinstruction to prevent and stop unauthorized copying or distribution of Controlled Content. 

What you may do: 

  • You may make in-house photocopies/printouts of publicly available Content, Assignments, Unit Reviews and Assessments (all without Answer Keys) to distribute to your class.

What you may not do: 

  • You may not a) download or save Membership Content on any device used by someone other than the named Member; or b) duplicate or distribute Membership Content by any means, including electronic transmission, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
