END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT - READ CAREFULLY
A. Agreement. By accessing
or otherwise using this Web-site, online course and the
CareerForward multimedia
program, you agree to be bound by the terms of this End User License Agreement
(this "EULA"). If you do
not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not use or access this Web-site, course
or program.
B. What this EULA Covers.
This EULA covers the Michigan Virtual University product identified above,
which includes a Web site, online course, Web-based program, computer software
and may include associated media, hardware, printed materials, and electronic
documentation (collectively, the "Web-based Program"). The Web-based
Program also includes any updates and supplements to the original Web-based Program
provided to you by Michigan Virtual University through this site.
C. Meaning of "You." If
the person accessing this Web-based Program is an individual using it for his
or her own purposes, "you" means the person using this software. If the
person accessing this Web-based Program is doing so in furtherance of the
purposes of another person, including an organization (whether or not the
employer or the person) then "you" means both the person accessing this
software and the other person, including an organization. No person
accessing the software for another may do so unless the person accessing the
software is authorized to bind the other person, including an organization, and failure to be so authorized will result in
unauthorized use of the software subject to civil and criminal consequences.
D. The Parties to this
EULA. This EULA is a legal agreement between you and Michigan Virtual
University, a Michigan nonprofit corporation ("Michigan Virtual
University"),
with offices at 3101 Technology Blvd, Suite G, Lansing, MI 48910, USA.
E. Nature of this EULA.
The Web-based Program is protected by copyright laws and international
copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
The Web-based Program is licensed, not sold.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
Michigan Virtual University
grants to you a nonexclusive license to use the Web-based Program as provided
in the accompanying publications or documentation. This license permits
one specific natural person to access and use the Web-based Program. This
is not a seat- or session-based license. Once a natural person begins use of
the Web-based Program, the license is permanently associated with that named
natural person and no other person may use the Web-based Program without
procuring from Michigan Virtual University, another license for that other
person. For example, once Alice first accesses the Web-based Program, the
license is forever associated with Alice even if Alice completes her use of the
Web-based Program and does not use the Web-based Program again. Bob may
not be substituted for Alice. Any use of the Web-based Program by Bob
would require acquisition from Michigan Virtual University of another license
specific to Bob.
You may make the URL and Web-based
Program available to natural persons, provided that one such license is bound
to one person and that each person who uses the Web-based Program made
available by you agrees to this EULA. If any person to whom you make
available the Web-based Program is not bound by the EULA, you will be
responsible for any violations of this EULA or of applicable law by that person
as though that person was your agent acting on your express instructions.
If you distribute the URL or Web-based
Program to natural persons using a centralized server, web application, or
otherwise, you must have in place measures reasonably calculated to limit the
number of natural persons using the Web-based
Program to the number of licenses granted by MVU. In any case, you must make
available your books, records, facilities, and systems for audit by Michigan
Virtual University and/or its agents so that Michigan Virtual University can
verify your compliance with the terms of this EULA.
2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS
AND LIMITATIONS.
Limitations on User's Geographical Area of Access.

America or its Territories are permitted to grant access to the

Program, provided that the access is granted at no cost, and only to
students enrolled in their local schools or to home-schooled students who reside
in their district. Students and teachers may be permitted to access
the URL and Web-based Program from any Web connected computer (e.g., a student

1. This limited warranty gives
you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from
state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction;
2. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an
implied warranty, so the limitations above may not apply to you;

limitation of certain finds of liability, some or all of the above limitations
on liability may not apply to you.
