a. Account Creation. In order to access the Library Content and grant others access to the Library Content, you must pay a one-time license fee for a Subscription and create a licensed user account (“Account”). Once a Subscription has been purchased and an Account has been established, Educator will be granted a license to be able to provide themselves and each of their students (each an “Authorized User”) with a unique user name and password so that they may access and read our collection of digital books located in our Library as an Authorized User for the duration of the Subscription. The number of Authorized Users associated with the Educator’s Account will depend on the Subscription purchased by the Educator. Upon payment of all fees due and owing to RRB for a Subscription and the creation of an Account, you are agreeing to be a “Licensed User”, which grants you additional rights and subjects you to additional responsibilities, as set forth herein. Only persons over the age of 18 may be Licensed Users.

RRB grants you, as a Licensed User, a nontransferable, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to access the Library and view Library Content and to grant access to the Library to each of your students for whom you have created a user name and password as part of your Subscription to be able to view Library Content. Any rights not expressly granted herein shall be reserved for RRB. RRB may terminate your License if you or any Authorized User violates these Terms and Conditions of Use and Limited License.
c. Responsibilities of Licensed Users. You may not grant access to the Library or the Library Content to anyone who is not an Authorized User, provided, however, that the parents and legal guardians of your students may access the Library with their child’s user name and password. In order to add, remove, or change Authorized Users, you must log in to your Account and, depending on your Subscription, you may be required to pay an additional fee for additional Authorized Users. As the Licensed User, you must take reasonable measures to ensure that your Authorized Users do not allow anyone else to access the Library Content, to keep their respective user names and passwords safe from unauthorized use, and to abide by these Online Terms and Conditions of Use and Limited License. As the Licensed User, you will be responsible for any unauthorized access to the Library and for any violations of these Terms and Conditions of Use and Limited License, including without limitation any copyright violations. You further agree to promptly comply with the request from any parent or legal guardian to delete their child’s access to the Library by removing their child as an Authorized User.
