Acceptable Use Policy

1. Scope & Relationship to Terms

   This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies whenever you access Pearson websites, apps, services, or digital products (together with all networks, systems or anything that powers or supports them, the "Services"). This AUP forms part of Pearson’s Terms of Service, including Pearson’s Universal Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the “UTOS”). A breach of this AUP is also a breach of the UTOS.

   For purposes of this AUP: (i) "Materials" means content made available through the Services (including course materials, e-books, online courses, assessments, and other content); and (ii) "User Content" means anything you upload, post, or otherwise submit through the Services.

2. Permitted Use

   You may include short, insubstantial excerpts of Materials for personal, non-commercial educational purposes, provided appropriate copyright and attribution notices are included and applicable licensing restrictions (e.g., Creative Commons and other restrictions applicable to Open Educational Resources) are followed.

   If you wish to reproduce the Materials for any other reason, please request permission using the information at: Pearson Global Permission Granting.

3. Prohibited Uses of Materials

   You may not:

   • Redistribute or use any Materials available through the Services, except as permitted above.
   • Share any questions, solutions, or other assessment content made available through the Services.
   • Reproduce Materials in bulk or for commercial or institutional use (including in course packs, library reserves, or similar compilations).
   • Use Materials to train, fine-tune or ground machine-learning or AI systems or conduct text or data mining.
   • Provide Materials to unauthorized users.
   • Cache or archive Materials.
   • Remove or alter proprietary notices.

   For clarity, these restrictions apply regardless of whether a user believes such use constitutes “fair use.”

4. Prohibited Uses of Services (Technical & Security)

   You must not:

   • Interfere with or disrupt the Services or attempt or facilitate unauthorized access (including by circumventing access controls, introducing malicious code, or conducting cyber-attacks).
   • Use automated means (including bots, scrapers, spiders, agents, or similar tools) to access or extract any portion of the Services or Materials without permission.
   • Reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source code of the Services, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
   • Frame, mirror, or otherwise enclose any portion of the Services or Materials.
   • Misuse accounts, including impersonation or credential sharing.

5. User Content & Conduct

   You must own (or have rights to use) User Content, and comply with any applicable Pearson platform guidelines, including the Pearson+ Community Guidelines.

   You must not:

   • Post, upload, or link to content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, infringing or invasive of another’s privacy.
   • Post, upload, or link to content you do not have the right to share (including confidential information).
   • Use the Services for spam, advertising or similar activities.
   • Use the Services in violation of applicable laws or regulations.

   Pearson may (but is not required to) monitor, remove, or restrict User Content and may suspend or terminate access for violations. Copyright concerns may be reported to: pearsondmca.agent@pearson.com.
