Maintenance specifically excludes services in connection with computer viruses or conflicts involving software that is not installed or introduced by SMART. Maintenance further excludes add-ons, plug-ins, customizations, new applications, modules or other software that is not generally and regularly made available to users of the software for no additional fee, but rather is separately made available by SMART.
The Maintenance period is calculated commencing one (1) year from the date of purchase of the software license offering associated with the Maintenance program, and continues for the duration of the term based on the length of the Maintenance program purchased by you (the "Maintenance period"). You may elect to purchase a longer Maintenance program, as may be made available by SMART, for each license of the software. Ongoing Maintenance beyond the initial or subsequent Maintenance period(s) may be separately purchased and shall be subject to the terms of any applicable additional Maintenance program agreement provided by SMART at such time (if any).

As such, do not give your SSP login credentials or admin access to anyone you don’t want to have access to this information and who is not bound by your own organization’s privacy policy.

The .notebook file may be exported into another file format and that other file format may be used on third-party software, provided it is not included in a product for sale or for a fee.

SMART Provided Content
While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the information on our website and in our products is as accurate and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used, the information does not represent a commitment on the part of SMART. SMART MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO ITS USE. Information published may contain references to products, programs or services that are not announced or available in all countries. Such references do not imply that SMART intends to make such products, programs or services available in any specific country. The information available is provided as a convenience only.
Images (such as SMART product images, for example) and all other content contained in our products that is not specifically offered for download by the users (such as through the SMART Exchange® website, for example) is the property of SMART or its licensees and you agree not to copy, publish, distribute, display or otherwise use such materials other than viewing them, without the express written permission of SMART.
Third Party Offerings and Sites
Our products, primarily because of user Submissions, may contain or reference links to third-party websites. Clicking on links contained in Submissions is done so at your own risk. The inclusion of any link or reference to a third-party service, product or promotion is not and does not necessarily imply an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, investigation, verification or monitoring by SMART of any information contained in any third-party site.
If you decide to use third-party services, you are responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions governing any third-party services (including their privacy policies). You agree that the third-party, and not SMART, is responsible for the performance of the third-party services, your privacy, the information contained in such third-party site and for your use or inability to use such third-party site.
Third-party content is the sole responsibility of the person originating that content. You agree that we do not control and are not responsible in any way for third-party content.
User Provided Content (Submissions)
In these Terms, the expression "Submission" means content submitted by users.
You acknowledge that all submissions, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, accessible through our products are the sole responsibility of the person from whom the Submission originated, and YOU ARE USING SUCH SUBMISSION AND ALL MATERIAL CONTAINED THEREIN AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You retain all ownership rights in your Submissions and SMART will never sell your Submissions or personal information. However, we need to be able to reproduce your Submissions as part of the service (i.e., others can read them). As such, by submitting any Submissions you are granting SMART, for the sole purpose of providing the applicable service, a royalty free, worldwide, non-exclusive, license to use, reproduce, merge, distribute, transmit, display, perform, translate and reformat your submissions (in whole or in part) in any manner required to operate the applicable service.
SMART does not control the Submissions provided by users, and can therefore not guarantee the accuracy, quality, integrity or ownership of such Submission. You acknowledge that you may be exposed to Submission material that you find offensive or indecent, or for which the underlying rights have not been properly obtained. You acknowledge that SMART assumes no responsibility for Submissions posted by third parties which is available through our products. You are solely responsible for your use of the Submissions and any disputes you may have with other users, even though SMART may provide a method for users to advise of a dispute or complaint (please see the Reporting a Concern, Dispute or Take-Down Request section for additional information).
SMART reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to review any Submissions and to remove or refuse to remove or post any submissions or links within Submissions in its sole discretion.
While in certain portions of some products, you are able to remove Submissions made by you or restrict access to them, you acknowledge that this license cannot be terminated, or the waiver revoked by you once the Submission is made. For example, if other users have downloaded your Submission for creation of a lesson, they continue to have the right to use such Submission that was downloaded in accordance with these Terms even after you remove your Submission.
You shall not contribute or edit any Submission, unless you have the legal right to submit your Submissions, which includes, without limitation, that you are the author or licensee of any copyrighted content that you provide, and that you are legally permitted to contribute it in accordance with a license.
