• Internet access:
  • Because of restrictions within Media Players that may block local access to multimedia, Internet access may be required to view certain multimedia elements.

Terms of Use Frequently Asked Questions

May I install the Training Content on more than one computer?

No. You may install the Training Content on one computer per license. You may transfer the Training Content to another computer as long as the content is first removed from the original computer and both computers are under your control and/or ownership

Yes, but for backup purposes only. The copy may not be distributed. WebAIM will provide replacements for damaged/lost CD-ROMs for a minimal shipping fee.

Your license and use of the Training CD may be transfered to another party as long as you give up all ownership and rights. The person receiving the Training CD shall be subject to these terms of use. Under these terms you may not sell your Training CD or license.

May I display part of the Training Content in presentations, class instruction, group demonstrations, or training.

May I use part of the Training Content on my Web site/print handout

Small text portions (quotes, references, information), generally under 500 words, may be used under our copyright terms as stated above AND if attribution is given to WebAIM as the original author. Larger portions of the training (including graphics, multimedia, non-text elements, or textual elements over 500 words) may not be distributed either electronically or in print form unless written permission is granted. The WebAIM Web site contains many Web accessibility resources which may be distributed in both electronic and print form under its terms of use (see the bottom of the site page). Presentation license holders may use electronic or print information within their presentations as long as copyright information remains intact.

May I print out portions of the Training Content for personal use?

Yes. The printed content shall be under the same conditions of this agreement. Because the content is intended to be viewed within a Web browser, the quality of printed materials cannot be guaranteed.

My organization purchased many licenses, may we allow access to the Training Content on our network/intranet/private Website?

Not unless a Network Distribution Agreement has been signed and provided by WebAIM. Network distribution is subject to restricted terms of use. If you're interested in multi-user distribution of the Training Content, please contact us.
