1. Ownership

Unless otherwise identified, the original content on the Curriva Publishing website, including text, graphics, logos, design elements, demonstrations, downloadable materials, and related content, is owned by Curriva Publishing, LLC or used under license.

Curriva publications, textbook chapters, instructor resources, assessments, slides, videos, podcasts, curriculum systems, AI-supported learning materials, and other products may be protected by copyright, trademark, contract, license, or other intellectual-property rights. Specific ownership and permitted uses may be described in the publication, product, license, or agreement that accompanies the material.

2. Permitted Website Use

You may access, view, and print a reasonable number of public website pages for your own personal, educational, evaluation, or internal professional use, provided that you do not remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or other notices.

This limited permission does not authorize republication, systematic downloading, redistribution, resale, public posting, creation of competing products, or commercial exploitation of Curriva content.

3. Classroom and Institutional Use

Curriva supports lawful teaching, scholarship, review, and educational access. However, classroom use is not automatically unlimited. The permitted use of textbooks, chapters, slides, assessments, instructor materials, videos, podcasts, simulations, AI resources, and LMS packages depends on the applicable purchase, adoption, institutional agreement, license, or written permission.

Examples that may require a license or permission include:

  • Uploading substantial portions of a Curriva publication to an LMS, shared drive, course pack, website, or repository.
  • Distributing copies to people who are not covered by an adoption or institutional license.
  • Reusing instructor resources, question banks, assessments, or answer materials outside the authorized course or institution.
  • Adapting, translating, modifying, or creating derivative curriculum for distribution.
  • Using Curriva materials in commercial training, consulting, certification, or fee-based programs.

Limited uses may be allowed by applicable law, including fair use, but fair use is context-specific. Curriva cannot provide legal advice about whether a proposed use qualifies.

4. When Permission Is Required

Please request written permission before using Curriva content in ways not clearly authorized by law or an existing license, including:

  • Reprinting or reproducing textbook pages, chapters, figures, tables, cases, or substantial excerpts.
  • Including Curriva content in another book, article, website, database, presentation, video, podcast, course pack, or publication.
  • Translating, adapting, dramatizing, modifying, or creating derivative works.
  • Using content in marketing, advertising, media, public events, or commercial products.
  • Creating or distributing accessible-format copies outside an authorized process.
  • Using Curriva assessment items, instructor-only content, or answer keys outside an authorized instructional setting.
  • Licensing content for a platform, library, consortium, corporate training program, or institutional repository.

5. AI, Text and Data Mining

Unless authorized by a separate written license or required by applicable law, Curriva content may not be used to train, fine-tune, ground, benchmark, evaluate, or develop generative AI, machine-learning, large-language-model, retrieval, or similar systems.

Prohibited uses include bulk scraping, automated extraction, dataset creation, model ingestion, embedding generation for external products, and uploading protected Curriva content to third-party AI systems in a manner that permits retention, training, redistribution, or unauthorized access.

These restrictions do not limit uses expressly authorized by Curriva or rights that cannot lawfully be restricted. Authors, institutions, researchers, and technology partners may contact Curriva to discuss responsible licensing, research, accessibility, interoperability, or educational AI use.

6. Trademarks and Branding

Curriva Publishing, the Curriva name, the Curriva medallion and torch design, slogans, product names, and related brand elements may be trademarks or protected branding of Curriva Publishing, LLC.

You may accurately refer to Curriva products or identify Curriva as a publisher. You may not use Curriva branding in a way that falsely suggests sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, certification, affiliation, or authorization. Logo use requires written permission unless Curriva has provided an approved asset and usage guideline for the specific purpose.

7. Third-Party Content

Curriva publications and website materials may include content owned by authors, licensors, photographers, illustrators, data providers, publishers, institutions, or other third parties. Curriva can grant permission only for rights it owns or is authorized to license.

If third-party credit lines, notices, or source information appear with content, you may need to contact the identified rights holder directly.

8. Accessible Formats

Curriva is committed to supporting accessibility. Students, instructors, disability-services offices, institutions, libraries, and authorized organizations may request accessible formats or accommodations.

Requests should identify the publication or resource, the format needed, the course or institutional context, and the requested timeframe. Curriva may verify purchase, adoption, enrollment, institutional authorization, or eligibility when appropriate. Accessible copies may be subject to terms designed to protect the rights of authors and other users while meeting accessibility needs.
