Use of the Material

CCETC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit any Subscribers use of CaliforniaStreaming in the event that CCETC, in its sole discretion, deems such Subscriber's use of CaliforniaStreaming to be inconsistent with noncommercial, educational purposes and/or inconsistent with the Terms of Use.

Subscriber may download, solely in connection with noncommercial educational use, copies of the Material designated on CaliforniaStreaming as "Downloadable". Copies of downloaded Material must be deleted or erased after use, termination of this Agreement, or termination of Subscribers registration- whichever occurs first. Any and all downloading shall be for individual Subscriber convenience only, and Subscribers may not (i) systematically download any of the Material; (ii) create distribution libraries from the Material; or (iii) sell, rent, display, exhibit or otherwise transfer any of the Material to any third party outside of the Subscriber’s classroom.

In the course of using any Material as permitted hereunder, Subscriber may not make the Material, or any part thereof, available to any party who is not a Subscriber, except as permitted herein. Subscriber must ensure that the Material is at all times kept on a secure server, viewable only by Subscribers. If Subscriber wishes to use a third party to host the Material, CCETC must pre-approve the use of such proposed host in writing. CCETC shall have the right to approve the terms of the proposed agreement between the proposed host and Subscriber. Except as expressly set forth herein, Subscriber may not (i) copy, modify, transmit, perform, create derivative works of, publish, sub-license, or otherwise share CaliforniaStreaming, the Material, or any portion thereof; (ii) disassemble, reverse engineer or decompile CaliforniaStreaming or any portion thereof; (iii) use any "deep-link", "page-scrape", "robot", "spider," "offline readers," or any equivalent manual process, to access or monitor any portion of CaliforniaStreaming; (iv) collect any personally identifiable information, including user names or passwords, from CaliforniaStreaming; (v) take any actions that may circumvent, disable or damage CaliforniaStreaming's security; (vi) use the Material in a manner that disparages CaliforniaStreaming, CCETC, or the Material; or (vii) use the Material or CaliforniaStreaming in any manner that CCETC may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, deem inappropriate.

Subscriber understands and agrees that unauthorized use may cause immediate and irreparable damage to CCETC for which CCETC would not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that, in the event of such unauthorized use, in addition to such other legal and equitable rights and remedies that may be available to CCETC, CCETC shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of proving damages or furnishing a bond or other security.

While these standards define a universal format for bibliographic data exchange and the material types that can be described in the format, the content of most data elements within the format is defined by standards outside the formats, mainly the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules and the On-Line Audiovisual Catalogers best practice recommendations. For this reason, MARC cannot be copied nor resold without the express permission of Licensor and/or Access Educational Media LLC.
